Thread title people...

X2 agree to disagree and move on everyone

The issue I have is the "facts" you are referring to seem to change depending on what network is covering it or the politician you are quoting. I am not a lawyer by any means. That's why I said we have two special councils involved now. So before we go around exonerating or condemning the current or former POSU, let's see what the results from the two investigations show.

Let's just say I know people in the business. I'm basing what I'm saying off of actual facts. The facts that don't exist yet I'm making educated guesses. I have significant experience in this field so I can make a guess that's gonna pretty much be on point.

Sorry just replied without seeing…agree time to move on as people will never agree on politics

I’m only a little old Aussie…but why would a Vice President even have access to classified information, never mind being able to handle and remove it?

Most importantly what is it they are trying to hide?

It see,s to me that the people on charge of releasing said information and being held accountable for its safety have the most to answer to

Most people in the US government have some sort of security clearance. All the heads of government (think POTUS, VPOTUS, Congress, Joint Chiefs, etc) are gonna have access to the most classified information available.

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.

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...

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?

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 ?
