I was drawn to this site initially mainly because I love cities, urban planning, and the like and was drawn here for it. I also really like the breakdowns that you get about each city. I then stayed because I found many posters informative and knowledgeable about many different topics. And I like wasting time on the Internet, like a good Millennial.

But let's get real here...the politics forum is not a battleground.
Actually, there was someone on here who openly admitted that they were being paid to post. Something bagg in their name, I forget who it was, but they were on here and admitted it more than once.

Notice they aren't around anymore now that the election is over.

I say again, if someone wants to pay me to post, send me a message.

Last night I saw on her FB page (before it was taken down this morning) that she tested a 0+. Which from researching it is a memorized proficiency. In the eyes of the military, you get no extra money on that.

Exactly. Just like when they catch someone who plans to do harm to Americans. Authorities give them what they think is "real" but turns out to be "fake". Once the person uses it in the fashion that they thought it was meant to be used, they bust them. We've all heard of it before. You know, when they catch someone trying to blow up someone or something and give them fake explosives or a gun that can't fire. Once the person(s) attempt to use such items in the fashion it was sought for, BINGO, their popped. Same thing in this situation.

Big problem here is she was merely a low level tool utilized by higher up leaker(s). She gets caught and they go free.

Not good. The higher the number and the +, the better speaker, listener or writer you are.
This blog is a good explanation from what I've read.

Not as big as a problem as not properly vetting refugees but we did not hear Dems making an issue of that.

If your company or government is doing something to break the law, it should be your DUTY as an American to expose the law breaking.

The American people definitely need to know if the election was potentially compromised. Direct your anger towards the government officials who allowed these actions and not the person who exposed it.
First off, it wasn't "compromised", they tried and failed. Surprised? Not really.
Secondly, people would have to be complete idiots to not realize that ALL of our adversaries are, or have attempted at one time or another to mess with our elections,U.S. corporations and our monetary systems just like WE do to them and have for years.

And yet she was hired by the federal government and given top secret security clearance...? That seems...odd...
