A very interesting article detailing how Biden‘s Transportation guy Mayor Pete, contributed to the transportation failures at companies like Southwest recently. It goes on to outline how the Media knowingly ignores this

Wow! Quoting a strong liberal media!
Keep doing that.

But wait, I thought the Republicans were the party of LESS government regulation and interference.

This bit of the article is spot on, though:

Sums up all news outlets today, right or left.

Re: Will Biden be a good President?

Why were classified Documents found at the Biden Think Tank (no pun intended) in PA? These are documents from his time as vice president.

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/10/p...den/index.html

Also, when will the pre dawn raid come to gather the rest of them?

If you‘re going to try to mount a comeback, please try to be witty and not use the same tired cliches.

Or don‘t….I don‘t care. There‘s already (at least) one mindless, lame, homer here who I just skip over

If you can’t express yourself without embarrassing yourself, then just don’t post. There is no need for that kind of base behavior.

Yes, this seems to be the fact, they have indeed found classified documents. HOWEVER, please do notice the differences in behaviour between Biden and Trump
1. Biden attorney discovered the documents
2. Then the National Archives and Records Administration were informed
3. President and his current and former teams are fully cooperating




As much as I don't like Biden, this is exactly a proof that when mistake happens, institutions still work and you can be a decent fellow even when making a mistake. Trumps documents had to be forcefully raided and his bunch is still denying any wrongdoing.

If Kiwi was interested in the mature version of this story, he wouldn't have started in the whiny Tucker Carlson "why is the White House not raided pre-dawn" tone.

4. President Trump had the power to declassify documents, Vice President Biden (at that time) didn't.

Nevertheless, both non-stories imo.

However, until that time that they were unclassified, they remained classified and should have been treated as such.

The whole thing is curious.
Newspapers report the documents were found in the Penn Biden Center in Washington which was opened in February 2018 long after Biden ceased to be VP.

Their web site says: "As a research unit within the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Biden Center will remain completely independent of the Biden administration, and the analysis and opinions of its staff and affiliated scholars will reflect their personal views alone, and not necessarily those of the University of Pennsylvania."

So describing it as Biden's private office is a bit of a stretch.

Much as I dislike conspiracy theories one does wonder about a "false flag".

Re: Will Biden be a good President?

1) Biden's old stuff was locked in a room at Penn center...not so at MaL, where anyone could have picked up and fondled currently important docs.

2) Nat'l Archives immediately took the docs into custody with full cooperation.

Re: Will Biden be a good President?

One key fact emerging is that the US Government is rubbish at managing classified documents,
who has seen them
who currently has them
where they are

And for the ones that are only supposed to be viewed in secure locations how the documents escaped?

I think all governments and corporations are pretty bad at managing classified documents / info, but the fact that there are sophisticated procedures in the US ensuring what happens when shit happens + relatively free press this tends to end up in the news. Not much interest if this happens in the Dominican republic, apart from local news maybe.



As much as we like to moan and make fun of the dysfunctional politics in the US (me among many!), their institutions tend to generally work and uphold professionalism on the whole despite the ruthless onslaught by politicians from both sides trying to subjugate them.

1) they claim
2) again, claimed…..who knows how long they knew
3) sure, after the stories were aligned

basically your version is when you unquestionably give someone the benefit of the doubt.

The other scenario is you start leaking that the secrets are nuclear related, only to retract it when everyone already has heard the lie.


Anyways, no valid reason for him to have the documents. He has no declass powers.
