Wow. Kevin McCarthy defends Trump hoarding stolen national security documents in his Mar-a-Lago bathroom: “A bathroom door locks!” (h/t @AccountableGOP)


10:26 AM · Jun 12, 2023

Yeah, it locks from the INSIDE, you moron, allowing someone to pilfer America's secrets at their leisure.

[Effete Snob]

1. From the INSIDE

Jesus, does he know how bathroom doors work?

Was he living in the shower to keep the door locked?

[TheBlackAdder]

58. Anyone who watches TheLockpickingLawyer can get in there in under 30 seconds.

.

If you can use a bump key, perhaps 5 seconds.

Buy a bump key set for all major locks for under $60.



.

[Nevilledog]

3. They don't lock from the outside.

[agingdem]

9. your right..bathrooms are locked from the inside..

but set that aside...bathrooms are smelly, humid..faucets/showers leak, toilets overflow...the asshole stole the documents, insisted they were his, refused to give them back, lied to National Archives, the DOJ, his lawyers, shared them, and, yet, they were so precious he stored them next to a toilet...

[Nevilledog]

10. And stacked in the shower, covered by a Dollar Store curtain.

[LuckyCharms]

12. I don't have a door on my bathroom.

Just one of those beaded curtains from the 60's.

My house guests are a little hesitant to use it.

[Nevilledog]

14. Do the strands also include tree-shaped air fresheners?

[LuckyCharms]

15. No. When someone is in there, I stand at the

outside of the curtain holding a fan to blow any unpleasant odors back into the bathroom.

[colorado_ufo]

27. !

[littlemissmartypants]

40. Groovy!

[allegorical oracle]

55. McCarthy's so ignorant -- he may think the boxes can lock themselves inside. nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. One of those interior locks you open with a nail file or a flat screwdriver.

Or a paperclip.

[colorado_ufo]

28. steak knife, hair pin, etc.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. Credit card...

[chicoescuela]

5. Desperation KMac

[EarlG]

6. OMG LOL

I think this must be the biggest takeaway from all of today's news -- apparently Kevin McCarthy locks his bathroom from the outside when nobody is using it.

Can't be too careful!!!

[PatSeg]

26. Ha, ha, ha!

Well, that would explain it then!

Just when I thought Kevin couldn't get any dumber.

[EarlG]

44. ...

[PatSeg]

53. Oh, you're on a roll today!

"You know, like a gas station."

[Blue Owl]

7. Dumb as a deadbolt

[Cha]

38. lol.. I don't think Kev thought that

Through. Buzz.. Wrong Answer!

[MineralMan]

8. Every bathroom door I've ever encountered can be

opened from outside, for emergency reasons. A small screwdriver is all that's needed. I think that's a building code requirement, because there are often medical emergencies in bathrooms.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

11. I had to use a paperclip a couple of times when my big guys were little guys & once when the cat

got locked in - I still haven't figured that one out. Sometimes the knob is turned just enough to engage the lock & when the door is shut it's locked. Oh, and McCarthy is clown.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. OK, Kevin. Let Me Take...

...your car, which isn't my property, and put it my locked garage.
Kevvy, doesn't get that this started with the THEFT of those documents.
If the theft doesn't matter, then he'd have no problem is kept it as long as it was locked up.
Kevvy approves of theft.

[Victor_c3]

16. Why are republicans even making a stand about the security of bathrooms?

In general, don’t they think bathrooms are dangerous places where kids get molested and women are sexually assaulted?

If bathrooms are safe enough for nuclear secrets, wouldn’t you think they’d be safe enough for vulnerable people to actually use?

[Nevilledog]

17. +10000

[crickets]

43. Bravo. nt

[lame54]

18. For a spy to browse with privacy

[PatSeg]

29. There you go!

How convenient for them. "Sorry, this bathroom is occupied."

[Johnny2X2X]

19. Why wouldn't need a lock?

If those weren’t classified documents, which is Trump’s defense, why lock them up at all?

[Marius25]

20. The ballroom full of hundreds of attendees sure didn't

[Vinca]

21. Can't imagine a maid or maintenance person wouldn't have a key to it.

[Walleye]

22. Pretty sure Joe Biden never held any wedding receptions in his garage

when I hear the false equivalency I never hear anybody say Mar-a-Lago is a public club, people go in and out spies have been caught there. Biden’s house is private

[PatSeg]

32. Also, Trump has been known to hire

undocumented workers at his properties. It would be so easy for a foreign agent to get hired as a maid or maintenance worker. It would be a spy's dream and they would have easy access to rooms on the property.

[Nevilledog]

46. Time to welcome new batch of foreign workers to Trump's Mar-a-Lago club/crime scene

https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/columns/2022/09/12/mar-a-lago-florida-mporting-foreign-workers-where-top-secret-docs-were-kept/8021582001/

[PatSeg]

54. Whoa, that was brilliant!

[Judi Lynn]

59. So good! Thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[yardwork]

33. The legal point is that Biden gave the documents back as soon as he knew he had them.

Biden didn't realize that he had a few classified documents, and he gave them back as soon as they were found. By all accounts, they were of minor significance

Trump deliberately packed up and stole more than 300 boxes containing thousands of government documents, and repeatedly lied about them and hid them in an effort to avoid returning them. Some of the most top secret documents Trump stole have never been found.

[Walleye]

35. I know, but the magas have mentioned his garage every five minutes

Personally I think the stage in the ballroom and next to the toilet in the bathroom is a much better talking point. For 20 years they told us about Sandy Berger having put secrets “in his pants”.

[yardwork]

42. I think the bathroom photo is unanswerable.

It's so... gross.

Still, there's no point on arguing which storage area was more secure. That's not really the legal point at issue. However, if they insist, keep talking about state secrets being stored next to the toilet.

Do they really want a president who did that? Really?

[CTyankee]

52. In their twisted minds, yes. After all, it's the way they think, right?

[Marius25]

23. I'm so tired of these traitors defending the biggest breach of national security in history

Lock every single Republican up who defends this crap.

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. Bathroom locks not only lock from the inside

But typically can the easily unlocked from the outside with a screw driver, nail-file, or any flat object.

The lock is designed to provide privacy as you read top secret documents while shitting.

[colorado_ufo]

31. Excellent!

[NewHendoLib]

25. Fucking idiot

[Hope22]

30. Kevie forgot about the window..

That looks secure. No butt to big to lick is all I have to say!!!

[Marcuse]

34. Boxes are stacked everywhere but on the toilet, indicating it remained in use.

[Walleye]

37. Good point, and how convenient for foreign spies who want to read them

[Cha]

36. Hey Kev Fuckface.. I'll say this

real slowly.. Dt Did Not Return the Docs.. that's his FAFO Problem.

Got any excuse for that brain trust?

[Jerry2144]

39. And Trump did say don't go in there

We thought it was for other reasons like an atmosphere immediately dangerous to life and health. It turns out he said it to keep those documents highly secure. From a house cat

[GoCubsGo]

45. A bathroom is not a SCIF, lock or not, you fucking moron.

This boob needs his security clearance revoked, and he should be barred from ever having one again.

[nowforever]

47. I can Imagine his defense if Trump cut someone's throat

"He didn't know the knife was that sharp".

[Mblaze]

48. All of Trump's minions with no security clearance

Knew there was a lock when they hauled those documents from room to room and golf course to golf course.

[spanone]

49. Keving really IS that fucking stupid.

[ThoughtCriminal]

50. This is from the same morons

who think locked doors will stop school shootings.

[ECL213]

51. Tell that to Smokey the Bear and the Pope.

[Hekate]

56. And can be opened with a bobby-pin from the outside in case a child gets stuck
