We can’t trust them. They can’t trust us. The problem is at times we are them and they are us. PS Always remember in virtually every movie, when the zombie apocalypse hits, it seems the good guy with good ideas about fairness and righteousness is always chomped on first.

I don’t disagree conceptually, but if those that went before didn’t keep visitor logs at their personal residence I’d just as soon not worry about it here. As I’ve said before, for those upset about Stop the Steal, I think it’s more than a bit hypocritical if they supported the Illegitimate Election campaign of 2016-current.

So on this note, the question for me is...what is the standard for presidents and vp's historically? One of the issues with I had with the Trump raid centered around that subject. What happens in most cases? I've said it before--I'd be surprised if confidential/top secret material wouldn't be found in the home(s)/offices of most former high ranking officials. It just seems to be human nature, especially when the party in question is so sure of him/herself that they are convinced they are best suited to lead the world. In this case, would there be a reasonable expectation that visitor logs would be a standard at his home? Is there a log kept at Mara Lago, on the beachfront of Obama's home on Martha's Vineyard, at Bush's in Texas? I would think most of them would prefer not to have a log kept, there's really nothing goo that comes from it. At the same time, the Biden fiasco seems to point out the need for such logs to be kept. With top secret material stored near the recyclable bin in his garage, it's frightening to consider who might have had access to all this stuff. He did have that whole box thing going to supersize the security, but one has to be realistic--some high end criminals and ne'er-do-wells have figured out that by jimmying the top with a screwdriver, letter opener or pointer finger, the contents inside are often easily accessible to prying eyes.

Slow down with the naughty talk, Chi. It’s unprofessional and offensive to some people. I understand your angle, I really do. You take what is known—which is next to nothing—backfill a narrative based on your preferred outcome, and suggest others should jump to the same speculative conclusion that you do. What we know, at best, is the following: Biden had material (classified, top secret, whatever falls into that category) in his possession that appears to be in violate the law; The material was in a minimum of four separate areas, including a garage; Biden’s legal team has made statements that may or may not be true about how/when/where the documents were found; Biden has made comments on such behavior as it relates to a former president, and certainly seems to think possessing such material is extremely reckless and dangerous. He seems to feel that standard does not apply to him; Biden has had experience in the proper handling of classified material for nearly 50 years, and based on reports, began violating the law as early as 2013. We have no idea where the material was stored, how often it was moved, who may have had access to it, and likely never will; The Biden WH has not been transparent about this entire incident, including revealing the news when the classified material is reported to have been discovered in early November; Look, this material may well have been planted by a staffer as some have suggested. This may be more disinformation planted by Russians, or maybe the French. What I will say is taking the self-serving narrative offered by his handlers—all of whim may have violated the law—as “fact” is just plumb silly. At a minimum, relying on this team to tell the truth after extraordinarily reckless behavior seems unreasonable.

Devastating to the national psyche, pitted citizens against one and other and really reflected the first “Stop the Steal” of the modern era.

Your commitment to the cause is admirable, that should be acknowledged. Only a true believer can see multiple issues over a 7 year period and stick to the script. Documents in the office. Documents in the house. Documents in the garage. Documents, documents everywhere, and still who can say if he intended to possess anything? Could be staffers who thought they were hiding Easter Eggs on the old timer. #staytuned

A couple thoughts occur to me here. Who’s responsible for oversight and ensuring laws are not violated? Is erroneous delegation an excuse to skirting laws dealing with confidential/top secret information? It seems unlikely that team Biden would not know the law on this matter, assuming a staffer is responsible for the illegal activity, I wonder if they would face legal jeopardy? Biden was pretty clear on whom he thought was responsible for files at Trump’s place. It’s weird that suddenly he feels differently when he’s in the mix. It’s going to be a tall task to work backwards through 7 or 8 years of Biden’s life to get to the bottom of all this. Prayers up to him and the “staffers” who hid the files on him.

Don’t be so presumptuous, and as you so frequently suggest, follow the facts. The conclusions rendered by AG Barr are quite clear and quite compelling. Those comments came after an objective and unbiased review of everything Russia related. Mueller’s concern and complaint(s) are of no value to me, he had so much time and effort invested in the hunt for Reds in the WH it was probably inevitable he would lose focus and objectivity. At least half the nation was absolutely convinced of DJTs Russian citizenship, and the pressure to find something, anything to justify time and expense must have been extraordinary. I think it’s time for you to remove the partisan blinders and recognize the damage that the Dems did to our system with that ginned up scandal.

The ultimate resolution of Mueller was no obstruction, and an AG stating emphatically that what happened in this absurd spectacle based on lies and innuendo was that what happened to Trump should never, ever happen to a president again.

There is a 100% failure rate from the last two presidential elections on national security issues. My assumption is none of these jamokes at the highest level of govt have historically been concerned about national security issues, likely because they all know it’s common. “Mutually assured destruction” is a phrase that comes to mind. For those keeping track, both parties have national security issues, both parties support questioning the integrity of our elections, and so on and so on.

Nothing wrong with the Corvette, it’s a beautiful car sought out by your prototypical rich guy with the money to buy such things and the ability to seek out top notch hair replacement therapy. The dopey part was his insinuation that he treated issues of national security on par with his Corvette. FYI—I’ve never run the numbers, but I’d say I’m happy about 95% of the time.

I think the issue tends to be more about the 7-8 years where the subject was actively involved in disregarding the law, recent developments previously referred to as unprecedented, the subject’s recent comments on the impact of such egregious behavior, and his completely idiotic comparison between his dopey Corvette and top secret government documents.

I thought we were talking about Taibbi. Now we’re onto Hutchinson’s mother. Hard to say she has ethics and morals with the Trump rope a dope’n the driver. Nonsensical. Preposterous. Maybe she had a momentary lapse and remembered something from a Bruce Willis movie but I kinda figure if she would make that up, how far is she really from Russian hookers and urine?

Well, one would think, but it’s weird the lack of interest in some stories these days, or some of the misses on others. Hunter Biden laptop is one. Missing on the fact that classified intel was in Biden’s possession in early November, before the mid terms in another. They missed sorta widely on Russia collusion, who Christopher Steele was working for etc etc. Just speculating like everyone else. The Trump wrassling with a Secret Service agent seemed very, very preposterous.

Is it Kyle Rittenhouse, Buff?

?

Everyone knows the garage is the safest place in the house. Small doors and whatnot.

Always liked this cover of “In Your Eyes”.

In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes, I am complete In your eyes, I see the doorway In your eyes, to a thousand churches In your eyes, the resolution In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches In your eyes In your eyes, oh, I see the light and the heat In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes Oh, I wanna be that complete In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes

Or, she/family members have legal issues and she traded testimony for favor in that regard.

Definitely check it by 2030. Much past 7 years is considered reckless.

Seems appropriate, the government kept secret files on MLK, too.

Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive Stole the keys one night and took me for a ride Turned up the music just as loud as it could go Blew out the speakers in her daddy's radio She was shakin' (oh oh ooo oh) Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh) She was movin' round and round (oh oh ooo oh) That girl was shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)

Republicans have said they’ll launch and investigation by committee into the Biden Top Secret File Scandal. So it goes.

People of good will can celebrate both.
