Is AI an acronym for American Idiot in her case?

Chatdddd refused to answer that question so I am taking that as, Yes she is a moron.

In a previous life as a low budget CSO because no one else wanted to do it (lol), I had secret status (level 2 clearance) as i was exposed to possible information that could harm Canadian security. There was reliability status and CSIS screening but for me it was quick and easy (although they asked about my dual Italian citizenship - lol).

We had Chinese born employees who needed to get this level clearance and it took forever for some of them to get clearance. Was a headache because our facilities/buildings had to be cleared as well and without the clearances for the Chinese born employees, they could only work in one building that we decided not to get clearance for. If we were ever surprise audited by govt inspectors and they were present in the secret level facility, we would lose our clearances (and our national contract).

For top secret clearance in Canada that Millhouse needs, its the same reliability check (honesty and loyalty check) as level 2. The additional check is an enhanced CSIS check " to assess whether there is reasonable cause to believe that an individual has engaged, is engaged, or may engage in activities that constitute a "threat to the security of Canada," Also they look at more comprehensive 10 year background information than level 2 " foreign travel, foreign assets, character references, education, military service "

knowing he wont get this clearance done, I would never vote for lil PP

So is the issue that he should have it, but chooses not to seek it or that he has sought it and not yet been approved?

Both are bad, but for different reasons.

They are still going on with this bullshit.

IMO that's just a distraction from the El Salvador stuff

Yeah, lets get them focused on this, instead of the US government illegally sending someone to a prison death camp.

by all accounts he has not sought it since becoming leader of the Cons party ... and I should say ... he hasnt sought a new clearance as he received a clearance at the secret level in 2013 as he was a member of Steven Harpers cabinet.

Lil PP has said getting the clearance hamstrings him in what he can publicly say in challenging or questioning govt action/inaction government ... the way I look at that is ... if he knows the truth about security issues, he cant lie on the campaign trail and make accusations about the oppo parties and their leaders. It may just be political maneuvering/strategy on his part and there is nothing conspiratorial to this but it makes him seem untrustworthy to me (and many other Canadians)

That clearance he got in 2013 has a 10 year expiry by the way. The timing is interesting since at the tail end of that timeline he won the Cons leadership. Would a new clearance now dig in to and shed a light on the below. Getting a new clearance would sure as hell shut me up.

I mean they have been manipulating social media for years, it's just that now they are adding more humor.

I would wager they understand more about how Social Media works than the companies that host it.

By the way, Karoline Leavitt has some explainin' to do...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt owes more than $325,000 in unpaid debts from her 2022 congressional campaign in New Hampshire, when she lost to incumbent Democrat Chris Pappas. New reporting and filings with the Federal Election Commission reveal she didn’t disclose that for years.

The lion's share of that debt is owed as refunds to donors who appear to have given above the legal limit. Fundraising to pay off that debt could pose a conflict of interest for Leavitt, who now works closely with President Donald Trump.

They are all grifters. Likely 95% of Trumps cadre of loyalists have this type of past - too many a lot worse
