What the actual fuck is wrong with MO? Missouri lawmakers are considering new legislation aimed at prohibiting the teaching of so-called critical race theory in its public grade schools – even though the state’s largest teachers’ union says the concept is not presently a part of schools’ curricula – and requiring the state to develop a training program to teach American patriotism.www.cnn.com/2023/01/20/politics/missouri-critical-race-theory-ban/index.html

and then there's this. I mean, this would literally be any fiction book, biography, memoir, etc. Anything that mentions a person.

It would be absolutely terrible if Kavanaugh is about to go through some things. 😏

Anytime would be a great time for him to announce he won't be seeking reelection IMO I don't care if it was all accidental and the Archives didn't realize documents were missing. At best it's sloppy and you know if any other government employee "accidentally" took home classified materials they would be fired, criminally prosecuted, etc

Thar lots of career politicians or those in higher level positions may just not be as careful with classified documents as everyone has always assumed they were.

I have no doubt this is wide spread issue that is getting new light. But still looks terrible for Biden.

Thar lots of career politicians or those in higher level positions may just not be as careful with classified documents as everyone has always assumed they were. It sounds like some of the documents just found in his house were from his time in the Senate so I think you're right. They probably need to search a LOT of people's offices/houses Which again, any other government employee would be in big trouble if any of these documents were outside the secure area so how was this happening? There are supposed to be all these precautions in place for viewing/handling documents

I am currently watching Veep for the first time so I’m sure that’s the inspiration here.
But I think they should search Kamala for compliance with confidentiality. And if she passes - Biden should use this to step down. Or, at minimum, not run for re-election. IF someone else is going to run, they need a chance to get out their name out. The Republican crazies sure are.
I too suspect this is really widespread. But we can’t condemn Trump and just shrug when our guy does it. It’s a risk and wildly illegal.

With McCarthy as speaker of the house, Biden absolutely cannot step down. I agree he should not run again but I have always thought that.

Also Trump actively lied to investigators about hiding the documents. The situations aren’t equal.

Also Trump actively lied to investigators about hiding the documents. The situations aren’t equal. There are definitely differences. I also trust that Biden wasn’t out selling state secrets to the highest bidder. (Can’t say the same for the Cheeto) But it is still NOT what we should expect from our leaders. The bar has to be higher than “better than Trump.”
