Thought of the Day: George Washington Edition
🕑 Added 2023-01-14 17:46:22 +0000 UTCAt the Natural Bridge historic site in Virginia, they tell you not to carve your initials into the rock--and then show you the place where George Washington carved his initials into the rock. I'll bet he took home some classified documents, too.

Joe Bob, Cerulean Blue is your color!
They're all do as I say, not as I do. Though what they do I really wouldn't want to do it.

Also, he was 20 feet tall and made of radiation.

He listened to that Rush song on Hemispheres so he knew there was unrest in the forest. Hatchet, axe and saw. At least they won't have to listen to Marky Mark try to talk to it.

Not only that, he definitely cut down that fucking cherry tree.

You could say Washington cherry picked those documents. Cue Roger Daltrey screaming YEAH!
Actually president can declassify by thinking about them . Not every action under their authority requires Formal announcement and paperwork itβs a logistics nightmare . Deciding when , where and to whom to confide sensitive material is in presidents power . VP in 2016 with docs on Ukraine and Iran especially given the funny money the family was receiving only amplifies how wrong this is . If this were Dick Cheney you know you would be furious but not as furious as Trumps legal possession of documents because TV and Web news told you to be. Think on why that is .
The President is able to take home and declassify anything he wants including on Ukraine and Iran or a dog named Checkers be it in 1789 or 2023. The Vice President does not have same authority to take home classified documents .
I sure hope GW didnβt then claim he de-classified them by βthinking about it.β Also, no one had to worry about the Slayer of Cherry Trees selling the documents to Saudi Arabia or Russia.
π thatβs good stuff..
