Um first thing that pops up when reading this is well we are talking digital vs printed material and that is dramatically different.
Second dont act like this is the first time we have ever heard of a President keeping documents Biden did the same thing from when he was VP and they were just sitting in a car in his garage. Mar-a-lago isnt some run of the mill residence either I mean I remember going by it before he was even ran for President over a decade ago and the walls and security staff alone are dramatically different than documents sitting in a car that had been there for years.
Lastly pick all President literally have a "traveling Situation Room" Clinton had it for his Martha Vineyard stays same with Obama, Bush had his in Crawford, Texas, Regan his in Cali, etc. It's wild to even make comments like "wage war without the consent of Congress from a tarp thrown up at a golf course" when the left and the right both know that isnt true. You need to look at how the War Powers work the timelines and the criteria. Right now he's fine. Troops involved were already at those bases, Israel was the one who struck first and Iran said very publicly that it was going to strike the US assets if Israel did anything to it. Lets not forget what the Supreme Leader said during the discussions on Feb. 17th.
The Americans constantly say that they’ve sent a warship toward Iran. Of course, a warship is a dangerous piece of military hardware. However, more dangerous than that warship is the weapon that can send that warship to the bottom of the sea.
-- Supreme Leader Khamenei
Fair points, but I'd split hairs that Trump lied about the documents to cover it up. He'd be in prison right now but for his reelection.
I keep thinking back to your previous post about how this Anthropic thing was the US government being "bullied' by Anthropic when all it really wanted was to use the AI software for "lawful" operations. Those goal posts, they do keep on a-shiftin'.
I think we are looking at bullying differently because Anthropic was trying to bully the government still they wanted access to data that they have zero reason to ever look at. Plenty of classified things are completely lawful and deal with risks to life, intelligence on other countries moving war time equipment towards each other (think Cambodia and Thailand) and needing to run analysis on what the fallout could be, or mapping threats made to the US.
Anthropic doesn't need to access any of that ever. That's like putting holes in the bottom of a boat. It only leads to big big issues. Anthropic thought it could push a narrative and in this letter when they mention the final offer they declined because they wanted data inputs.
It's really hard to juxtapose this narrative of secrecy and data security that is apparently so important to the Trump led DoD when he personally and illegally kept massive amounts of classified documents in an unlocked storage closet at his personal country club. Or do we now call Mar-a-lago "The Situation Tent"? They are so serious about operational security that they wage war without the consent of Congress from a tarp thrown up at a golf course.
