The White House is punishing staffers who admit to marijuana use—and Democrats are not happy. “I want to find out how and why this happened,” one congressman tells The Daily Beast.

 

 

 

One of Trump's many scandlettes was the long running problems with getting guys like Kushner security clearances(and there were many examples, Jared was just the most high profile).

 

When Obama White House people would attack Trump for overriding the IC on these clearances I remember them saying "when we were in the WH, past weed use could be enough to deny you a clearance and these guys who hang out with Russians are getting code word clearance".

 

Has this been discussed at all? Maybe Biden is deferring to the IC and not wanting to appear like he is disregarding their recommendations after Trump totally scorched earth the process.

The problem is that the administration did this after specifically telling these people that the past use wouldn't be held against them. If they hadn't promised that initially then I think people would feel like it's kind of lame but understandable.

Only those to the left of social democrats could have a leg to stand on opposing biden, but they probably weren't supporting him to begin with (and probably aren't that numerous outside of Twitter anyway). Primary Biden was a year ago and seemingly different than president Biden. His first few weeks have been nearly all you could possibly expect as a social democrat. The problems are, of course, congress.

Mitch is just frustrated that all his old tricks aren't working anymore.

 

They gave zero votes to, and then spent a decade demagogueing off of, Romneycare in a wig as runaway socialism.

 

You already scorched this earth, Mitch. This is what you get when Dems know they are going to get hit just as hard for passing centrist compromises as the stuff they actually want to pass. Especially when the latter is more direct and easy for people to understand anyway.
