The "classified documents" issue is a big, f'n deal

Maybe someone has already posted a similar explanation but if not, the link goes into some details beyond my comprehension. The potential damage from some of the information getting into the wrong hands is dire.

Last paragraph of the article...

The Mar-a-Lago search warrant represents only one chapter in an evolving drama. Whatever else lies ahead in this story, however, it is irrefutably true that the dangers associated with the possible compromise of those U.S. intelligence sources and methods used to collect the information contained in the documents haphazardly stored at Mar-a-Lago and used by the former president in presently unknown ways poses an immediate and ongoing threat to U.S. national security with potentially serious and disquietingly unknowable consequences.

For more then a year would be amplified by the knucklehead noise machine if said documents were found in a (D) home. But they weren’t and the noise machine is currently impotent.

It’s as if Steve bannon ripped of magas with a money making scheme and the Magats don’t offer a peep.

No integrity, no morality, no ethical motivation, just blind loyalty to a monster.

Copies, document scanners, files, pen drives and faster, it is like they never heard of them?

This could be a lot worse then reported as a result.

Too much "oh well, what story's next?"

Look at the travesty of 1-6! ? Old news!

Look at the the House Committee who deemed he PURPOSELY hid the deadly nature of Covid from citizens and withheld PPE on his whim!

These two things should have made him the pariah of ALL time, and they have not

Past time for us to hire a bunch of psychologists, gather expert pollsters, media gurus, savvy people ... All in one room and not leave until a viable strategy emerges. One that WE all follow

End rant

Justice matters.

Who never voted before (at least in the midterms).

Tell them what votes for the current fascistic cultists will abolish their rights to control their own bodies.

Tell 'em the only way to prevent that is to vote Dems all the way down ballots.
