In the Sept. 21 interview with [Sean] Hannity, Trump indicated that there should be no concern about taking classified documents to Mar-a-Lago. He said that’s because when he was president, he had the power to declassify documents at will — without having to document that decision or go through any formal steps to coordinate with executive branch agencies.
Here’s the exchange:
Hannity: “OK, you have said on Truth Social a number of times you did declassify —”
Trump: “I did declassify.”
Hannity: “OK. Is there a process? What was your process to declassify?
Trump: “There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it. You know, there’s — different people say different things, but as I understand there doesn’t have to be. If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified. Even by thinking about it, because you’re sending it to Mar-a-Lago or to wherever you’re sending it. And there doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the president, you make that decision. So when you send it, it’s declassified. I declassified everything.”

It’s a new week and I’m going to try something different. I was originally thinking I would leave up any and all posts for the week until the following week, but I’ve decided instead to keep the Avenue with three posts up, and we’ll see how that goes for a while. As always, feel free to offer your comments if its working for you, or not. Remember, you can comment on any of the posts that are active and showing. (This may not work in the long run, but we’ll see.) And you can always r/o a post.
Michael Moore was on Bill Maher. He was asked about the mid-term elections.
He’s absolutely right – women need to show up and VOTE!
