The hilarious thing about all this is it is not possible for Trump to have classified documents because he had the power to declassify any document without permission and without telling anybody. He was given this power by an executive order both George Bush signed and Obama later signed. Any documents that he took from the White House that was classified was immediately declassified when he took it all he has to do is say so and nobody can argue with it. There is not a document in the government that the president cannot declassify without filling out any forms and without even telling anybody. They did this because if the president has a guest in the Oval Office and he wants to show him a classified document he could declassify it on the spot show it to the guy and reclassify it when he gets it back. No red tape involved. So this entire raid was stupid beyond belief.


This is a load of BS.

But I guess we will see how well it holds up in a court of law, assuming Donny’s lawyers think it’s their best defense (lol).

I stopped rooting for Walter White when he let that young girl choke to death and die on her own vomit and he could have saved her. Pure selfish jackass and from then on I hoped he got caught. And that was early on in the series might have been season 2


She was a junkie and she was blackmailing him. She was hardly a babe in the woods. If she was not shooting heroin she might still ne alive.

Now. poisoning the kid was something else. But I have never seen how he managed to do it as they were never alone.

But for me it was when he killed Mike. Mike was awesome. Who does not want to be Mike when they grow up?
The President is a fink.

That is not exactly true. But, it also does not apply to classified documents regarding nuclear weapons (which was a main purpose of the search).

Oh No, Mr. Potato Head got fired from CNN.
As a final tribute to Brian Stelter I offer the following:

No idea
I don't watch CNN
I thought everyone has evolved to getting their news on the internet.

I watch CNN during mealtime, along with the Smithsonian channel and Motor Trend.

But Fox?

You gotta be kidding me: never.

Maybe EB knows. He watches more CNN than most humans.

The only CNN people I’m familiar with are Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, and Don Lemon.
