As a Christian, these legislators are committing idolatry. Scripture as a whole may be holy, but each book is just a book. God’s going to be more insulted by being invoked for budgetary procedure than by a printout of text being sat on.

I recently read a review of 1990s pop aesthetics, and it was probably intentional for reasons that resonate with us again. In the 90s, with the advent of omnipresent computers, organic, amateurish handwriting became really popular, and I think that’s what comic sans is good at looking like.

Hey, have you moderated something before?

I forget if it’s one exchange or two, but there’s a transcript where Trump tells someone:

Hey, check this out, but don’t get too close, it’s classified and you aren’t cleared to see it … You know, when I was president, I could have declassified this, but I didn’t, and now I can’t. That’s pretty funny, right?

You just get everything in those two statements. Knowledge, intent, showing it to someone you know isn’t cleared.

I also agree, though. We should restrict how people are allowed to interact with classified documents. They shouldn’t have been in Pence or Biden’s houses at all. It should be the kind of work no one takes home.

Oh yeah, I remember that atcth beginning of all that. The DOJ told Trump to give back all the documents he took with him. He actually lied to his lawyers to get them to dertify that he had given them all back.

Imo, that’s a reasonable measure. While you or I wouldn’t have any need to take a classified document home with us, both Pence and Biden had to give documents back from their home. I guess as executives, it happens.

Trump, though, is a trophy hoarder, so he refused to give them up.

Tough, but ultimately fair
