Dude, I have no idea.

I can't even fathom that right now.

EDIT

Unless this is typical taken-to-the-extreme paranoia that the military does on a day-to-day basis.

Example: when I got to NM it was several months before my security clearance was set to need review. I logged into do all of my questioning and there was a question regarding whether or not I had received disciplinary paperwork at a prior base. I was honest and said yes. I completed the questions and thought nothing else of it.

A couple months later I was called by the investigator and told I needed to be interviewed to make sure that I didn't harbor any feelings from the people I received paperwork from. My interview was one-on-one with this investigator. I had to detail my interactions, my feelings, the context, everything. Eventually it was written up as routine and I was cleared to maintain my clearance.

That being said, I wonder what kind of intel would have to exist to mandate 25,000 people be vetted 48 hours before the inauguration. Could be as simple as "Wow, we just took more people than we have deployed to the middle east, put them in DC, gave them weapons, and told them to show force before during a presidential inauguration....ummm, maybe we should check them?" If it's anything more concerning, then I'm stumped.

business insider wrote:While the identities of the 100 are not known, some of the president's allies are said to believe that many of the pardons or commutations will go to people Trump expects to benefit from in the future.

"Everything is a transaction," a source told CNN. "He likes pardons because it is unilateral. And he likes doing favors for people he thinks will owe him."

Though the identities of the 100 people are still unknown, CNN reported that Dr. Salomon Melgen, an eye doctor from Florida who is in prison after being found guilty of healthcare fraud, was expected to be one of those granted clemency.

Bloomberg reported last week that the rappers Lil Wayne — who faces prison time — and Kodak Black — who is in prison — were also being considered for pardons.

I’m stockpiling potatoes in case the price skyrockets.

Johnnie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 11:59 pm And exactly what happens to the military bases in those states?

All those states have bases with nukes and fighters. Texas alone has 6 active duty bases, to include the "Gateway to the Air Force" base in Lackland where basic training is conducted.

This sounds like idiot fan fiction.
