Hard to tell if you know you're lying about the number of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago or if you're just regurgitating a fact some idiot put out there.
Also fun how the "journalist" frames the question as if it wasn't the FBI that spread the documents all over the floor to take pictures of them. Imbeciles everywhere actually think Trump had the documents laying all over the floor like baseball cards...
The number of documents is irrelevant. You idiots were HYSTERICAL over Trump doing this and now you think Biden doing the EXACT same thing is no big deal.
Just like Hillary's felonies were no big deal...
If you didn't have double standards you would have no standards.
Look, this isn’t complicated, and there’s no reason to play silly games. Trump took hundreds of classified materials to his glorified country club. He ignored requests to return them. He failed to comply with a federal subpoena. He lied repeatedly. He returned some documents, but held onto others, all while refusing to cooperate in good faith. He even proposed a possible trade in which he’d consider giving the documents back, but only if officials gave him something else in return. To see the Biden story as identical is clearly insane. Based on all of the available information, the Democrat appears to have inadvertently moved a “small number of documents” with classified markings to the Penn Biden Center. The National Archives didn’t request the materials’ return because officials didn’t know they were missing. Biden’s representatives found the documents and immediately informed the Archives know about the discovery. The materials were then quickly returned to the authorities. If Trump had done the same thing, he wouldn’t be facing a criminal investigation. It’s not illegal to accidentally have classified documents; it’s illegal to take them and refuse to give them back.
If I take this at face value, it VERY well may be silly, bleeding heart liberal stuff. And I'll be the first one to admit that sometime bleeding heart liberal stuff goes well past merely "silly" (see affirmative action, and plenty of other things).
And pre-Trump, someone who pointed out such things could easily be assumed NOT to be a moran.
But since Trump, pointing something out like this on a thread like this HIGHLY suggests that one is a moran.
Why? Because this thread is full of things - pointed out over and over again - that the current R party stands for that are nearly infinitely worse than what you've cited from these Ds. So, it makes looks like you're PROBABLY not able to properly weigh good and bad things. In fact, that you're probably REALLY, REALLY bad at it.
It should be embarrassing to you guys. And I'll give you an example of how EASY it is to be non-moranic: Liz Cheney likely agrees mostly or completely with your D mockery above. Yet, she also EASILY sees that the R party has sold its' soul.
SEE HOW EASY THAT IS ?? YOU CAN DO IT !!
I get it... you don't like Trump nor do I... not everything is about Trump.
I could say I don't like donuts and you would respond "how can you possibly complain about donuts rather than TRUMP."
No, I wouldn't. But I obviously get your point. Yes, you may be the ONE regular poster here who would bother to criticize D silliness but wouldn't defend the horrid state of the R party. I hope. So, for that I apologize.
- If you have reason to believe that something is bad on minorities BECAUSE they're minorities, then by all means, point it out and complain about it and fight it.
- If you have reason to believe that something is bad on poor people, writ large, then say "poor people." And be clear that you're feeling bad for an fighting for all poor people. Not just "brown and black" poor people.
It really seems like this has gotten WORSE over the years. It seems that "black and brown" is tagged on to "poor people issues" more than it used to be, regardless of whether there appears to be an actual racial component to it. And in those cases, it's really not right.
And one is really naive if you don't think that poor and working class white people don't notice this. And unfortunately, it makes them more receptive to the us-versus-them crap coming from Trump and so many other Rs.
So, does intersectionality persuasively refute the idea that someone shouldn't focus on THIS factor(s) when the most pertinent factor(s) in a particular situation are, arguably, OTHER factors? I would hope not....or I'm not too impressed.
And, unfortunately, as is the case for a huge amount of social science research/scholarship, it is likely the product of a group of academics/thinkers that come from roughly the same (and likely fairly remote) location on the political spectrum.

Human beings are capable of tackling two problems at once. Theoretically anyway. I’m not sure that collectively we can tackle any problem at all.
These classified documents were found 6 days BEFORE the midterms but the news was released to the media well over a month later.
Also worth noting, a VP does NOT have the authority to declassify documents- this is a criminal offense.
Did Biden claim to have declassified documents? Didn't see that but if 'this' is criminal then he deserves to be prosecuted, 100% agree. No politician should get a pass.
Do you think what Trump did with the classified docs was a criminal offense?

I am A-OK with full prosecution of Biden for any criminal offenses. Lock him up.
Are you cool with the same for Trump?
100%. Equal application of the law has always been the dispute. You people just happen to live in a bubble so you have absolutely no idea what Hillary did, or Biden did, or the FBI or DoJ did.
You consume 100% pro-Democrat media and you're completely oblivious to reality.
Imagine being stupid enough to get all of the information you know about Pepsi from the Coke people and thinking you have any sense of what Pepsi is really like.
No Sally. I’m saying it easier to attack someone politically when they are unsavory. Our politicians don’t do anything based on right and wrong. They do everything based on public opinion. They won’t impeach Biden because it would look petty and childish. The Dems were able to impeach Trump because so many people hate him. It’s just a numbers game.
I think you're overestimating Biden's popularity.
Biden's approval rating is right around where Trump's was despite Biden getting 99% positive media coverage.
Impeachment is extremely unpopular. They aren’t going to do it. McCarthy has basically said they won’t.

Did the deep state suppress this like they did the Biden laptop. It's a little too convenient that these two stories were kept under wraps heading into two elections.

But remember, Trump knew NOTHING about the tax crimes going on in his company for decades. Nada! /s
New York CNN — Allen Weisselberg, former President Donald Trump’s long-time chief financial officer, was sentenced by a New York judge to five months in jail for his role in a decade-long tax fraud scheme after testifying as the state’s witness against the Trump Organization.
Following the court hearing, Weisselberg, 75, is expected to report to Rikers Island, the notorious New York City jail, to begin serving his sentence immediately.
He pleaded guilty last August to 15 felonies in a deal with prosecutors. As part of the deal, he was required to testify truthfully at the trial of the Trump Organization, pay $2 million in back taxes, interest and penalties, and waive any right to appeal.
Weisselberg admitted he should have paid taxes on off-the-books compensation, totaling roughly $200,000 in one year, which included a luxury Manhattan apartment overlooking the Hudson River, two Mercedes Benz car leases, parking, utilities, furniture and private school tuition for his grandchildren.
Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday said had he not already promised a five-month sentence to Weisselberg, he would have issued a stiffer sentence “much greater” than five months after listening to evidence at trial.
Without a deal, Weisselberg faced a sentence as long as five to 15 years in prison. With credit given for good behavior, one-third of Weisselberg’s sentence could be knocked off, meaning he could end up serving about 100 days behind bars.
