What's in the news today... (NO COVID / POLITICS)

In lighter news...

POTUS can do it pretty much at will.

Uh, we don't have a king. Yes, he can declassify anything he wants, BUT there's a process to go through. He just can't say, "I declassify this letter" and it becomes so.

And, no, he can't declassify nuclear secrets...

No offense, but any random person can say xzy on the web. Assuming you do have connections, are they left or right leaning? Because people tend to spin things. Again, I have no skin in the game so I'll just wait for the results from the two special counsels.

None taken. I mean sure, I can tell everyone I'm J Lo's nipple tweaker. Obviously I'm not lucky enough, but I do know my classified.

Both, but left or right leaning is irrelevant with what I'm talking about. Not playing politics, just schooling people on how classified shit works based on government regulation and 20 years experience.

Yes, POTUS can. POTUS owns ALL government classified information and can do with it what he/she wishes. If POTUS wants to disclose TS information to KJU POTUS can do so. On the spot. Is it advisable? HELL no, and POTUS is (usually) smart enough not to. POTUS needs no permission to disclose classified information.

Yeah, that link has a lot of wrong or misguided information in it.

Let's not forget about the people of Ukraine.

The prosthetic hand is cool. My sons school build around a dozen every year for those in need, they also make birthing kits for third world countries, and developed a programme to save a local endangered bird.

We are at a public school, just got very lucky it’s a good one

Is that local endangered bird some kind of cockatoo?

Let's not forget about the people of Ukraine.

We just watched the movie “Tolkien” last night…watching the harrowing war scenes, the excitement of young men going off to war fully believing they would not be hurt and be hero’s….it’s hard to believe that we have still not learned that no one wins when it comes to war

This is why tearing down monuments and trying to wipe history be it bad or good …is a very bad idea.
We must remember, and it seems humans need more reminders than most species to not repeat past mistakes.

It’s very sad to think we have learnt very little throughout history ?

Yes it is!

 

[bboypuertoroc]

Yes it is!

My favorite parrots are cockatoos, specifically the umbrella and galah. I had wild cockatoos climbing on my arm at the Royal Botanical Garden in Sydney.

Which one is endangered?

EDIT: pic related

It is the Carnaby Black Cockatoo that they are saving and protecting

No …as the name suggests, it’s black

But love the photos

So, you don't believe what a national organization of lawyers founded in 1878 says regarding the Law?

When did you pass the Bar?
