One thing that’s always bothered me about that scene (not counting the headphones flying off) is why he brings the cockroach so close and in full view of the people in the room. He could’ve just as easily gone up a table leg or whatever. Or maybe he’s not particularly smart, I guess.
I should check my closet for classified documents >

Apparently if you were in the White House or  Congress, yes, you should. >

Seriously, everyone had/has a security clearance. I wish we could make the distinction that not everyone is willing to sell out their government. Yes he had classified documents, and when they were found they self reported, however only 1 man had documents taken for a criminal reason, and when asked lied multiple times, and tried to cover it up. >

Wellll..... i guess i should go ahead and get rid of some of those red and yellow marked folders. >

You should destroy any electronic equipment (e.g. e-mail servers, Blackberries) and delete any Google accounts. >

I have a bottle of bleach under my sink, i'll be fine >

My mind read that as, "I have a bottle of bleach under my skin..." I was really impressed at your readiness to wipe things out. >

Getting rid of COVID and classified documents! What a double whammy! >


It is not yet clear what the documents are related to or their level of sensitivity or classification. Pence’s team plans to notify Congress on Tuesday.
Pence asked his lawyer to conduct the search of his home out of an abundance of caution, and the attorney began going through four boxes stored at Pence’s house last week, finding a small number of documents with classified markings, the sources said.

It seems like he's trying to do the right thing. Whether that's because it was a legitimate mistake or he was caught and is trying to soften the penalty remains to be seen. >

I'm willing to give Pence the benefit of the doubt as far as intent goes here. I gave this benefit of the doubt to Biden as well. They both seem to be cooperating and trying to ferret out any classified documents to turn them over to the proper government department.
Contrast this with Trump who refused to give the documents back, refused to allow a search, lied about there not being any more documents, and to this day is demanding that the FBI give him the documents back - calling them his "property."
I won't agree with Pence's politics and would never vote for him. On this point, though, he seems to be doing the right thing. >

Me too. I doubt that they do their own packing when they leave office. Someone put everything into file boxes and they moved them home and likely never looked at them again, then cooperated with the searches. This is completely different from Trump's behavior. >

It seems to me that the tracking process for sensitive documents is lacking. Our local librarian knows where all the books are but these documents seem to be floating around with no one keeping track. The system failed >

Which adds to the trump side of it, they had a list of documents they wanted back from trump. >

Yes, they knew he had some but it just looks like tracking needs to be tightened up given Biden and Pence has stuff no one seemed to be missing. >

Keep in mind classified and national secrets aren't the same thing. If Biden planned a surprise party for Obama, the fact that it was secret and he was VP would make any related documents classified. If he still had those documents in a dusty box today, he'd be in illegal possession of classified documents technically but it's be of no consequence and nobody would be tracking it. At the other end of the scale would be a briefing on a new prototype superweapon DARPA was working on.
The latter is why Trump is in trouble and why the National Archives knew they were missing. The former is likely what Biden and Pence found and this is only a headline because they're being honest and telling us they have them. >

Let's be honest it's only a headline because Trump had all his drama about it. This stuff with documents happens literally all the time for the exact reasons you described (the docs aren't important just made by someone who is) and likely isn't the news story people want it to be. >

This is getting so ridiculous. Check every past president and VP's house apparently. >

haha, you think it's limited to presidents and VPs. >

Someone check R Kelly’s closet! >

We should probably do that regardless. >

Eeew, these documents are covered in R Kelly doo doo water! >

Drip drip drip >

This is the remix edition, of the song about pissin >

The only thing to make my life complete is when I turn your face into a toilet seat >

I wanna piss on you >

Gimme some of that 'poo poo' >

I'd give anything to be a fly on Pence's head right now. >

Now we know what it was doing
