At this point when people say something is 'offensive' my natural reaction is to immediately dismiss them and put them in a bucket with the crazies.

This is unfortunate because there are actual things in the world that are offensive. On more than one occasion, I've found myself defending actual offensive words and actions because I am so used to crap like this and had to walk it back.

I’m going with open casket and pop goes the weasel as soundtrack

Lol they did it in real estate….sigh

Yes, because the US military is all about standards

You completely missed the word "recent" didn't you? If your reading comprehension skills don't increase Ima take back that trophy.

Her name is Kamala, not Camilla, just fyi

And even with Alzheimer's he has more intelligence than Ronald, Donald and Dubya combined.

So quick question, would you get a duck dinner for having too many duck dinners? Rimshot

The pork chop platoons.

Tripling down? I'd say demanding the return of documents clearly marked TOP SECRET-SENSATVIE COMPARTMENTAL INFORMATION that had no right being being in his golf club's basement only being secured by a padlock is more then tripling down.

This is more like a thug trying to claim the items he stole are his because he stole them fair and square when confronted by the cops. Which actually makes a hell of lot more sense then Trump's defensive argument.

Are we sending otters to Mars?

I wouldn't consider 4 people a mob

Heard all about this from my brother over Christmas. He has a 4 year old with a pretty significant sesame allergy. At first they were excited when this passed because sesame being officially a "major" allergen meant it would be required on food labels explicitly rather than potentially just part of "seasoning" or whatever.

The problem however, is that in order to not have to put sesame on the label, the companies are required to thoroughly clean production lines between different runs to ensure no cross contamination of sesame into products that don't contain it. Their solution to this has apparently been "fuck it, sesame is in everything now" and have just done things like add 15% sesame flour into their bread recipe and mark it on the label.

So now my nephew can eat almost nothing commercially produced safely.

To be honest, that might be a fantastic idea from a political perspective.

It won't happen. But I would laugh my ass off for a year if he did that.

well that works for one side. no guarantee that the other side will choose education and healthcare and become less prone to violence.

that said i do think as a species if we looked out for each more (education, healthcare, and a host of other things) we'd definitely have less senseless violence.

So much truth, especially from the right, performative patriotism. You walk around pretending every single person in the service/police/etc is a hero ordained by god, even if they were logistics. And if you don't you're an american hating commie!

But, for some odd reason, when it comes time to want to spend money on healthcare, living conditions, pay, etc for those same people it's only the american hating commies who want to talk about it.

just sometimes in 24 man bays or 4-6 man rooms.

that's really only in training or deployment scenarios. stateside, i never had more than two soldiers to a room in the barracks.

Yep, been cleared for 42 years and was a military special agent while I was in for a period of time so I get it. Just chafes me because I saw the lower level of folks get hammered for this kind of stupid stuff, and it is stupid, yet higher ranking folks get off with a slap on the wrist. Not just for mishandling classified but for many things. But everyone keep the downvotes coming, my statement was not political at all, notice I specifically said "No politician of any flavor should get special treatment."

Really all of the armed services. I know everyone makes fun of POGs, the Chair Force, etc, but I knew a bunch of marines that never even left the continental US and had a logistics job, etc.

Or that people who meet those standards arent interested in going into the army...

My friend really care about data protection, block his webcam and use secure browser. But, he loves xiaomi products, smart led, laptop, smart shoes, anything xiaomi sells.

Here are a few takes from a liberal for any conservatives ready to pounce on this:

1. He's an idiot for making the same mistake as Trump and should face similar consequences

2. He did not take any actions that necessitated a literal FBI raid against him, he gave them over willingly

3. The fact that his lawyers found them and returned them, rather than found them and began the process of hiding them, is telling of the integrity of the people he surrounds himself with, and therefore his own integrity as a president.

4. Yes, he's sleepy, yes he's geriatric, yes he's got Alzheimer's... but that's just a legitimate excuse for why he would slip up like this. Trump does not have Alzheimer's and is not "sleepy"... So where is his medical excuse for hiding top secret documents, exactly?

It sounds like Biden’s people are doing a full sweep of his properties for any documents and willingly giving them over.

I’d rather this than, you know, the lying about them and trying to hide them even after an FBI raid.

your words. but thanks for the trophy

context and intent is key when it comes to documents like that. been military for almost 20 years. seen several classified info fuck ups over the years. depending on the doc and the context, it can go from slap on wrist to jail. depends on the docs, how they were secured, etc etc....

immediately returning docs upon discovery demonstrates no ill intent. trump went out of his way to hide and obstruct suggesting ill intent. honestly if trump had returned the docs he probably would have had zero happen to him.

it should be investigated without doubt but it would hardly be special treatment for Biden, or any other politician or citizen, to be let go with minimal consequences if the breaches are minimal and it was reported to proper authorities of their own volition.
