(13,594 posts)It was the right thing to say and there would have been a shitstorm if Biden had already said Trump wasn't getting briefings. He really shouldn't though.
My thought was giving him his briefing verbally or allow him to read it with no one else allowed in the room. He wouldn't be allowed to keep any copies either. With his comprehension and mental capacity, he probably couldn't reveal much useful anyway if they load it up with big words.

(13,594 posts)any better than he got while in office. They had to Dick and Jane his briefings and he didn't even bother to read those. Either make it so technical he can't understand a damn thing or make it like a second-grade reader with nothing really useful to anyone. But no copies.

(205,467 posts)Anyone else who committed such an act would be in prison by now. Reality Winner stole one and served four years - how many years should TFG get for stealing boxes that went up to the ceiling in his bathroom?? I am convinced he cannot be trusted, especially now when he's so desperate for money.
