https://thebanter.substack.com/p/cbs-screws-bidenWASHINGTON, DC Soon after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered World War II, President Roosevelt asked his FBI director whether there was anything we were doing that might appear fascistic and hypocritical, and therefore damaging to the war effort.
The president was told about whats now known as neo-slavery in which Black Americans were being arrested for Jim Crow era infractions like vagrancy and shuffled off to be punished in coal mines and plantations as slaves, often lost forever.
Knowing how this might fuel anti-U.S. propaganda, FDR ordered the FBI to shut down the mines and plantations. Before we fought back against the Axis powers, Roosevelt made sure his own house was in order. (Theres much more to the story, which you can read about in Douglas Blackmons masterpiece Slavery By Another Name.)
Unfortunately, when the National Archives and the Department of Justice discovered that Donald Trump had retained upwards of 300-plus top secret documents following his nightmarish single term in office, no one in President Bidens inner circle thought to scour his offices and storage facilities for similar top secret documents that may have been swept up when Biden moved from the vice presidency back into civilian life six years ago.
Now, thanks to some shoddy reporting and, subsequently, the Red Hat entertainment complexs dedication to elevating the mundane into the outrageous, get ready for another non-scandal scandal.

It was so obvious they were living up to their new policy of featuring repub viewpoints more.

between Biden's handling of the discovery of documents (which has been favorabile) with the criminal behavior of Trump.
Not remotely supportive of Trump or Republicans.
What BS.
