Because if there is no list, anyone can walk out of any government building with our State secrets and simply tell whomever investigates later..."Oh, it was declassified." If there is no list of such declassification....there wouldn't be a way to prosecute anyone who does such a thing.

Curious about something.... If W had not invaded Iraq in a war of choice, does Obama become President? There are two main tracks that propel me to ask. First, Obama won the DNC nomination based, in part on Hillary's yes vote on the war. Maybe he would have won anyway because, as we saw in...

An opinion: Perhaps the single most ubiquitous remainder of the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic will be in the educational realm. Grade schools have gone partially, primarily, or even exclusively on-line in their instruction. While educators say that is not the preferred way to educate young people...

For those of you who were aghast that the blob (aka Trump) signed off on $2T in deficit spending ON TOP OF the $2T he spent in 2018 and 2019, get ready, he's about to authorize more spending. WASHINGTON – Americans have yet to receive their $1,200 stimulus checks from the federal government...

I recently added VUDO streaming to my ROKU device. I'm not super impressed with the content on the service. However, there is one show that they have on there now that is a fantastic documentary about the Black September terrorist attack on the 1972 Olympics. I will link to the IMDB page...

It seems that the blob lied to us again. Brain injuries among the wounds GMA-Good Morning America

This is one of the few areas I agree with the blob. Bring the troops home from the Middle East. Why are they still there?

This is cartoonishly silly even for the blob.

How long do you think it will be before he declares a national emergency after signing the CR to keep the government running?

One thing that has always fascinated me about conspiracy theorists is that conspiracies seem to materialize out of nowhere, pull off the crime of the century, then fade away into nothingness just as quickly. Take the JFK conspiracy for example. If you believe some of the conspiracies bandied...

How much federal tax revenue monies do you think you consume in a calendar year?

There is a reason the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. Just a thought.

A Federal Judge has ordered the Commerce Dept to not have the question on the Census. Judge Orders Trump Administration To Remove 2020 Census Citizenship Question Furman's decision marks a significant milestone in a legal battle that began shortly after the Trump administration announced last...

Always an enjoyable listen: Would You Rather Be a Bird or a Mountain? Example: All must die; either all dogs or all cats. Which one do you choose and why?

The video sort of speaks for itself: Anthony Scaramucci Promotes New Off-Broadway Trump Musical Starring Gina Gershon

First, the message was that ir would raise a billion or every penny would be refunded. Then it was changed to read that if the amount is not “significantly close” to a billion the refund would be processed. Now the page says the following... “If the wall gets funded by the govt, this fund...

The longer the IC investigation into the Russian meddling in our 2016 election and more specifically, the Trump Campaign’s conspiring with Russians to meddle in the election, the more I am reminded of the movie Nixon. These are some excerpts. See if they sound a bit familiar to the rhetoric we...

An interesting thing happened recently. Governor Brown signed a bill that moved up the California Primaries to the first Tuesday in March. “Super Tuesday” as it is known will now feature: Alabama California Massachusetts North Carolina Oklahoma Tennessee Texas Vermont Virginia Others may...

Saw this on Twitter; Trump is named as the defendant. http://oag.dc.gov/sites/default/files/2018-12/Emoluments-Federal-Government-Subpoenas.pdf Just by looking at it, they seem to be probing possible violations of the Emoluments clause

Took 63 yers but they did it. With Rosa Parks Day, Alabama moves toward recognition of its true heroes Good to see.

Can’t find it online but I sort of think it has to be there. Does anyone else remember a commercial where two NFL players are checking into a hotel at the Pro Bowl and the desk clerk gives each their key. I thought it was Peyton Manning and Marshall Faulk but apparently I’m wrong about that...

First the blob doesn’t show up at a 100 year anniversary of WWI in Europe; after flying to Europe to attend it. Then he doesn’t travel 2 miles from the White House to honor Vets….ON VETERANS DAY…. Now it has come to light that the VA is short-changing living veterans as well: The blame for...

" But the general overseeing the deployment told POLITICO on Monday that the troops will start heading home in the coming days as some are already unneeded and others complete the mission they were sent for. The returning service members include engineering and logistics squads whose jobs...

Here it is: Meanwhile, over 1,000 Americans are missing in California due to the wildfires out there. Since we obviously have troops to spare and the Border Patrol is more than ready, willing, and able to take care of their own operations, shouldn't we deploy troops where they are needed the...

Just gauging the level of trust. Do you honestly believe that if there were answers and there were written answers given...that the president answered them without any advice of counsel?

American’s Hidden Duopoly. Part of the podcast is like, “duh” when they talk about how the Dems and Republicans have carved out a mutually beneficial atmosphere in the political sphere. Other parts of the podcast are fairly illuminating and I think it’s worth listening to. America’s Hidden...

Obviously a lot can happen (and will happen) in the 728 days until we have our next Presidential Election but what seems clear to me is that the nation is ambivalent to happy with what they are seeing from the blob. Can’t say I agree but from what I have seen from the Senate results…the nation...

The only reason that the politics of the shooter/bomber matters is because the Right Wing posters on this board and numerous prominent right wing personalities immediately blamed the events on the left. You would think that being 0-2 in two consecutive days would teach them a lesson going...

HIPAA, in lay terms, ensures your medical records stay private. Is this constitutional? If so...how? I would hope it would be.

Too damn funny... 'Saturday Night Live's' Locker Room Sketch About Brett Kavanaugh's Confirmation Is Too Real

I see a lot of celebrating about FISA docs being released. What is supposed to happen now that the docs are released?

I’m just on Chapter 14 in the book but Trump picked the right guy to be SECDEF. Whether he listens to him going forward or not is another matter but my goodness; what a soldier.

As a surprise to nobody. the Trump Administration is actually paying Mexico to take our deportees. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

I might start watching the network again if this is true. It's not really her; it's the thought of her. The focus on entertainment, culture, etc... is what I despise most about ESPN. One of the reasons I like Football season so much is that between NCAA, Divsion One and Divsion Two...

Amazingly...none of the right wingers on the site mentioned a peep about it.... Man with 'dim view of women' arrested on new shooting charge It seems you have to be a minority group or an illegal alien to get their attention. It seems he has done this about seven times and has ranted about...

Haven’t verified this but I thought it was cool and sort of strange…

Hey there...is there any way to selectively re-order the emoticons based on past usage? For example..if I use the one of an eyeroll today, when you go to use an emoticon again, it is at the top or nearer the top of the emoticon selections. In other words, the ones you personally use more often...

Early reports are often wrong but this just cleared the wires: The economy added 157,000 jobs in July, the Labor Department reported today, a sharp downturn from 248,000 in June. Average hourly private-sector earnings were up 2.7 percent over the previous year, unchanged from June. The...
