Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
He had 100s of top secret documents post presidency, and was gleefully waving them around at people. We know some of them were war plans.
Its also common for presidents to be briefed about some matters after they leave office.
Messy or mostly wrong, he still likely provided some accurate and dangerous information to a foreign national.
Oh definitely.
But also…bigly nukes. He knows nuclear. His uncle was nuclear.
Doesn't matter. It is enough for him to say something like
"we have very smart captains. They are in the south chinese sea, very bright men, they know how to hide a submarine in a trench they told me. I like trenches. My grandfather shot 500 people from a trench every day in WW1. Best men, he won the war for us i'm telling you."
For submarines the very information that they are in any specific area is a breach of security.
Reminds of that time with the Iran nuclear plant or something and the ultra resolution satellite images and names of spies or something.
But, those foreign nationals have to try to figure out what stuff he told them was accurate, and how much was him doing the equivalent of altering weather maps with sharpies.
