My favorite is still the chandelier hanging five feet above the toilet. Like how does one not bonk their head on that when violating national security and pooping?

Now that you mention the toilet, it's clearly an elongated oval variety but.. it still seems like it's just floating in the middle of the room. How long of a toilet bowl does one need?

Money can't buy good taste. Which is odd since it seems like if you have money you should be able to hire people to advise you on what is tasteful or not. But I suppose that requires you to listen to the experts.

According to the government, the material kept at Mar-a-Lago included ”information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.”
The unsecured locations that the government says Trump kept this material include the stage in a ballroom, “a bathroom and shower in The Mar-a-Lago Club’s Lake Room,” and a storage room that was “accessible from The Mar-a-Lago Club pool patio through a doorway that was often kept open.”
I wonder if Trump and others tried flushing some of those papers.
We already know that White House staff periodically found wads of paper clogging a toilet when Trump was in office.
Officials already warned that Mar-a-Lago was a magnet for spies and trespassers. It's very concerning that they could have asked for directions to a bathroom and find that trove of secrets.

Pence isn't radical enough for modern republicans, in that he doesn't want to overthrow America and replace it with a Christo-Fascist Autocracy of some form.
He wants a Christ-Fascist limited democracy in line with what the constitution allows and what we used to have. That's too liberal for the average Republican voter these days.

I think I’ve heard that is another story that may break down the road. It appears any connection to Teump inevitability requires the services of of an attorney. These agents could loose pensions and face legal costs. Another legacy of the MAGA.
6
u/nikolai_470000 Jun 10 '23
And rightly so if they were to lose their jobs, or even their freedoms. If there really are any people in the Secret Service with even an ounce of doubt in their integrity, they need to go. The Secret Service is not supposed to be political, and if extremists like that are within its ranks (and I’d bet some likely are) then the whole organization needs to be swept for security risks and bad apples.
There is already plenty of security for those agents (they literally won’t even let the guys work if they have any kind of major personal vulnerability that could be exploited, like a large amount of debt.) but, there were (and are) large swaths of other agencies who were saying some terrifying things behind closed doors at their offices. Those three letter agencies (plus the SS) tend to have a disproportionate amount of republicans, some of whom were openly admitting to things like buying into QAnon conspiracies, believing that Trump did win the election, and even that J6 was a false flag. We should count ourselves lucky that there happened NOT to be one of those folks on Pence’s detail that day in the Capitol. At the very least, it wouldn’t have been pretty to give such a bloodthirsty crowd exactly what they wanted. Sure, they all ran away when they snapped back to reality and realized that their lives could be in danger, but if they HAD gotten what they wanted, who know what they might have done next.
2
u/twobitcopper Jun 10 '23
The secret service is also law enforcement. If they were witness to laws being broken they were obligated to take action. Their duty is to protect the former president, but first and foremost they are “public servants”, not Trump’s personal body guards. That distinction seems to have been lost with Trump’s secret service detail, and a line appears to have been crossed.
I can remember a few months back a comment attributed to Biden, he didn’t trust the secret service. During a recent trip to Ireland a brief of Biden’s security detail was found laying in the open. It makes you wonder what else of the Trump corruption was left behind when he vacated the Whitehouse.
I suspect a host of secondary indictments from Jack Smiths’ investigations, the Secret Service being the top of the list.
2
u/nikolai_470000 Jun 24 '23
That’s also a pretty fair assessment. I wouldn’t catastrophize over it, but it’s reasonable to believe that there are active agents who hold some pretty extreme political positions and who might be compromised in some way by the corruption that was present in his administration. It is fairly well known that in the lead-up to J6, the offices of many of our three-letter agencies were full of personnel who openly shared and expressed belief in Q-Anon conspiracy theories, including false claims about the election being stolen. I’m sure there were a few people, at least, in most of our LEO’s, who were almost ready to commit treason because they were so far down the rabbit hole. The question that has been on the minds of the leaders of our military and other national security institutions is how many of these folks are in the system, and who they are. I feel it’s pretty likely there have been many BTS sweeps and probes into this that haven’t been (and won’t be) disclosed to the public. They like to keep that stuff as in-house as possible, even from other branches of the Fed.

I went to a meeting in the Toronto Trump tower, just after it changed names because of course he fucked it up.
The entire building was faux luxury. Furnishings were basically brand new, but were already coming apart and looking junky. The boardroom table was a huge solid mahogany slab, but it was some kind of cheap coating over mdf, so it was peeling. The coffee cart was brass-coloured, and beautiful from a distance, but plastic and shitty when you got close to it.

I know almost everything he says is projection, but I thought his comment yesterday saying Biden kept his documents in his garage with the door open was too oddly specific to not be related to something in the indictment he read.
The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is “secured” by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time,”

He’s completely fucking melting down on truth social. Lmfao, he’s just saying the same nonsense over and over.
Joe Biden broke the law more than me!! Crooked Hillary deleted emails!! Witch hunt I did nothing wrong!!!
They have you on tape admitting to your crimes. You sold out our national security. Go to prison you stupid fucking idiot. Hope he gets 200+ years or the death penalty for his crimes

Our nation's secrets were sitting in arms reach of a toilet in a bathroom of a fucking private resort.
Republicans can't say shit about Biden, Hillary, Obama, or any future Democrat after this dumpster fire of a human being turned our government into a complete joke.

I mean it’s not like our reputation was that great beforehand…but this is such an embarrassing look for us as a country. A former president kept top secret documents next to a toilet. Ugh

Okay, I see what you mean.

Cute headline, but technically Trump is being accused of being a traitor. Really takes the fun out of it.

u/the_buckman_bandit America Jun 09 '23
He is being indicted on espionage charges, and rightfully so, which you could extrapolate to a traitor, which he totally is 100%

This bathroom is so Trump…chandelier, gold fixtures, marble floors…and a plastic garbage can and cardboard tissue box. 5th Avenue meets dorm room-chic.

Teacher: Alright that concluded chapter 17, dealing with Clinton, W. Bush, and Obam- Oh right. shit
Students: What?
Teach, lighting a joint in the window and taking a drag: Then we elected Trump. Alright chapters 18 and 19 are on the election...
Students: ... Two cha-
Teach: Yes, two goddamn chapters. Let's skip a few pages straight to "Grab them by the pussy".

Keeping documents near the toilet in a Trump house is dangerous. It could flood, like his pool that somehow flooded his server room.

And the conservatives are still twisting themselves in knots that it’s Hillary’s fault becuase they can’t take responsibility for anything. Also it’s really telling that the other primary candidates have been basically silent

u/Ok-camel Jun 09 '23
I wonder if they fingerprinted the documents after they were recovered, would it be possible to do that? If yes then I’m sure they would have found a treasure trove of people to ask why they had left fingerprints on the documents. Even just the minimum wage workers going about there business and having a peak in the boxes as they were passing, or ducking in the open door late at night to have a poke about.

God I'm glad everyone else gagged on the faux-luxury decor. That alone should add a couple of counts to the federal indictment.

This photo is cropped at the top. The full picture shows more boxes stacked up to the ceiling behind the shower curtain.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE INDICTMENT DOCUMENT.
After you do, come back and tell us why you still support Trump.

I bet the Russian spies wouldn't have thought to look around the bathroom. I mean, who the heck keeps classified material near a toilet? Is that the kind of reading material Trump uses on the can?

So this morning on Reddit the r/conservatives were arguing that Trump has SCIF at Mar-a-lago. Someone needs to explain to them the shitter isn’t a SCIF.

Ironically, when Trump goes to the bathroom, he says he's "going to drop some documents off in Chinatown."
