Biden, Trump should be ineligible for office

| January 26, 2023 1:00 AM

It’s apparent Joe Biden needs to “spend more time with his family,” wink, wink, nod, nod. The discovery of classified documents at President Biden’s think tank and home surely will have nothing to do with his decision to enjoy his Corvette with the ones he loves rather than seek re-election. He simply is a family man who recognizes that time at work takes away from time with loved ones. The clock is ticking after all. 

Based on the two most recent White House occupants’ inability to resist hanging on to classified mementos of their service to the country, it seems fair to assume, they all do it. I’m not talking about lying here, though that’s true. Better start searching Obama, Clinton, Bush I and II’s homes, etc. Might as well see if Jimmy Carter stashed any classifieds in any of the Habitat for Humanity homes he helped build. What did Mike Pence keep? And perhaps Kamala Harris has sticky fingers, too. 

Maybe just these two old farts are guilty of serious stupidity, though doubtful, for who in their right mind would want to be president? We can only hope the young and dumb future presidents haven’t learned to be more devious in how they retain “classified” information. Trump and Biden should be ineligible for office after “classifiedgate.”
