Finally a place for all my hot takes. Oh, and cats.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Boomers, then and now. But the music? Specifically The Beatles??

Of course it has a name. And now I know the name and reason behind the name. Thank you.
At one ops center, we called it the Nelson Box for the same reason. Well, he was a 21yo 2nd Lieutenant, not a toddler, but basically the same reason.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

I think Trump heard "vulnerabilities" to blackmail, etc, and just heard "opportunities to make a buck"

Electeds get scrutinized by fed counter-intel & briefed on their vulnerabilities, then get the clearance they need to do the job. Normally.

We assume electeds operate in good faith & would never knowingly risk American lives with loose lips. Or anyway, we used to.

Trump likely wouldn't have been eligible for a security clearance in 2017, had he not won the election (what with his foreign, uh, business interests).
