Biden didn't add a damn thing; the private economy did despite Biden's anti-growth policies and indefensible spending that exacerbated an inflation problem--that, yes, leads to people having to take second jobs. Trump didn't lose jobs. State and local governments shut things down

No, it's not, you economically illiterate idiot. Your social security money was never invested in real income-producing assets to fund a limited-year retirement. It was a Ponzi type scheme used to fund current beneficiaries and any residual funds were invested in USG spending.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 7, 2022
This ignorant leftist is in a state of denial about the reality of unfunded entitlement liabilities. The system was never funded for decades of retirement. There are 2 ways to reform the system: increase inflows (i.e., payroll taxes) and/or limit outflows.

Nope. Much of that deficit-exacerbating spending spree went to checks to every household, whether or not they needed it. Most households had income through the pandemic & their relief checks went to pay off bills or into savings with marginal impact.https://t.co/dANH0fojTw

Yeah, right. I'm sure Comrade Bernie discussed the nuances of sound money policy with Milton Friedman and others. I do think he has a vague idea that inflation is a type of regressive tax disparately hitting lower-income people, but not of USG's role in it

But Trump as POTUS had wider access and greater control over classified materials than Clinton as Secretary of State. Anyone who has ever gotten classified material access knows they have a lifetime commitment to the nation's secrets. Trump had a moral and legal responsibility.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 12, 2022
Up to another 2000 Clinton emails were retroactively reclassified. Of the then classified documents, many were improperly marked. I suspect Clinton wanted a workaround to inconvenient SCIF access. USG was not maintaining Clinton's server & Clinton's email account not compliant.

Trump lies so profusely about anything it's impossible where to start. He just throws a lot of shit at you and hopes some of it will stick. We know DOJ and Trump were at odds over the transfer of documents. And some of this stuff required storage in a SCIF/vault, not a basement.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 12, 2022
We don't know the specifics of what Trump is lying about in claiming he had "declassified" all those documents still showing classified markings. There's a reason declassification is a process: its revelation could put personnel, locations, planes or ships, operations at risk.

Not NS guru; I think somehow others discussing secure matters with POTUS would need to be vetted and have a need to know, no recording devices like a cellphone present, etc. Certainly as ex-POTUS, he doesn't have a need to know, and a padlocked room in a basement is not a SCIF.

If Trump's bogus declassification claim is legitimate, where's the paperwork? Why would his stolen copies of the documents maintain classification markings?
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
The point is classified serious or above material means information which poses, at minimum, risk of serious damage.
Oh, Jesus! Trump is channeling his inner middle school kid, trying to shift the blame to others. Seriously, dude? If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?

What is with his pseudo right-wing reference to Barry's middle name? Is he trying to link him to Saddam Hussein? https://t.co/cywfSq9DbO
No, the twice-impeached idiot IS that stupid. He ran for President and couldn't answer a simple question on the nuclear triad. The fact is, he had been fighting the DOJ on returning the material stolen from the White House.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
Because "Sleepy Joe" wants them back. Yes, Trump is really that shallow, petty, and stupid. Plus, he thought DOJ was bluffing. https://t.co/4louk8qyHY

Too bad Trump didn't keep a manifest of the items he stole from the White House.

It figures. Trumpkins are like Trump. He used to retweet crap without vetting it first all the time. It's not like FNC, in its zeal to smear the judge who signed off on the Trump search warrant, would question a meme pulled off Twitter. https://t.co/gvlfhToybF

Leftist trolls are suggesting Trump wanted to sell state secrets. No. I'm convinced Trump wasn't involved with packing and moving activities. Somehow boxes meant for NARA were shipped to FL. However, once the mistake was uncovered, an embittered ex-POTUS has been uncooperative.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
Two things to say: first, an ex-President has no need to know. There is no legal/constitutional right for Trump to be in possession of said documents. They pose an uncontrolled risk to national security.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
Second, there is a defined process for declassification Trump didn't follow https://t.co/HSA95pPMED

STOP CONCEDING THE POINT. We are talking about the rule of law.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
I can't believe otherwise smart people aren't challenging the bogus assertion that Trump had a standing order to declassify any documents being transferred for his personal convenience. Declassification is a defined process. We obey the rule of law, not men.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
Some idiots choose to ignore the twice-impeached Loser-in-Chief had a defined pattern of behavior of destroying federal documents, blatantly illegal, even before the hypocrite, who attacked Clinton on classified emails, stole documents with no need to know.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
Declassification is a process that has to judge whether the disclosure of documented (minimally) serious risks to national security could compromise defense/intelligence personnel, infrastructure, operations, etc. POTUS may have the final say but he can't define away risks.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
I don't know the specifics of Trump's alleged standing order. If he means, don't bring materials to my home (when POTUS) that are classified, it's one thing. If he means, put declassification marks on any document sent to my home without due process, that's unconstitutional.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
First, as ex-POTUS, he has no need to know, no right to said documents. We already know NARA found classified (not declassified) documents from the 15 boxes Trump stole from the White House. Basis for more documents was identified for the search warrant. You manipulated Trumpkins

I have to admit I'm curious why the FBI took Trump's cocktail napkins. I bet Trump is upset he didn't jot down the bimbo's phone number. #sarcasm
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 13, 2022
Yeah. We know Geraldo Rivera's real regret over the FBI's raid on Trump's mansion. No doubt he wanted to be there for the opening of Trump's safe. #sarcasm I'm not sure what they found there: Trump's little black book?

I don't like Liz Cheney's neo-con/interventionist foreign policy, no matter how right she might be on Trump. She poked the bear one too many times on Trump and cost herself a leadership position. The last poll I saw had her behind 2-1 to her challenger. She's done.

Yes, a blanket approval circumvents due diligence to ensure against release of information potentially damaging to national security. The fact that Mr. Trump puts his personal convenience over national security demonstrates his unfitness to hold national office. https://t.co/I45xvdVHVm

This is fairly stupid. The Republicans voted against a bad tax-and-spending fill. Inflation is a de facto tax, yes, on seniors and this bill does nothing to address this. The Democrats aren't addressing the true cause of high prices in the healthcare sector, just symptoms,

3 Justices nominated by Trump were confirmed by the Senate. What Trump has done since leaving office is irrelevant. An investigation is not a conviction.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 14, 2022
This is an incompetent talking point. The fact that Trump exaggerated his ability to declassify documents should be confronted head on. The idea Trump's basement is a SCIF is beyond ludicrous. Trying to convict someone on legal nuance is tyranny. https://t.co/ftFE2CfSBy

The leftist claim that the magistrate judge who signed the Trump search warrant was appointed by Trump is false. Magistrate judges are appointed by active district judges. POTUS appoints district judges, court of appeals judges, and SCOTUS justices.https://t.co/Xk30xFRIgN

I share the deep concern of millions of Americans over Trump's illegal possession of federal documents, including classified data for which he has no need to know. Trump signed a 2018 law that made it a felony to mishandle classified documents. https://t.co/D2HDbNayGe https://t.co/0hyAJldhvz
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 14, 2022
It just goes to show how stupid and gullible Trumpkins and GOP political whores are. Trump and his legal whores were not negotiating the return of stolen documents in good faith. They were caught on film moving sensitive documents out of a padlocked room vs. assurances otherwise. https://t.co/lc5d2YcEKJ
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 14, 2022
The problem is that Trump had no right to possess, no need to know this classified material. Trump is not above the law. Whether the law has been misapplied elsewhere is irrelevant.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 14, 2022
I have never understood the bizarre fixation some of my fellow libertarians have had in defending a wannabe autocratic political whore plutocrat. The fact is Trump extorted a foreign government to politically attack his partisan foe and he engaged in dereliction of duty on 1/6.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 14, 2022
Yes, there's a legitimate concern of people accessing materials who haven't been vetted and/or need to know. I think they may have been in a padlocked room under surveillance although there have been reports of boxes being moved in and out of the room.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 14, 2022
This is rubbish. Trump was in possession of classified material which is USG property and he no longer has a need to know. Trump has been uncooperative with DOJ. There was evidence that Trump withheld records, and the magistrate judge approved the search warrant. https://t.co/yd0Reu6NZZ

Oh, Jesus! This is a situation that Trump has manipulated to his political benefit. Some otherwise reasonable people buy into this victim card and persecution complex. That you buy into his manipulative BS exposes your inept analysis.
