There's a vetting process. Any given document has to be cleared and registered hundreds new classification. There have to be memos and review papers and certifications and approval of the new status by various intelligence and/or security agencies. The president can't just declassify by fiat, especially not nuclear or a foreign intelligence data. Anything declassified, including a presidential statement a justifying the declassification, would be available through the Freedom of Information Act.

They send them back to you when you get a new one. I have several passports that are expired.

And he's had an opportunity to do impersonations, something he's just the best at! Not to mention, we really could use his humor right now, all of the other late night guys are in repeats!

big news events happening. There has been a LOT happening lately.

Did you see his show about how much Biden accomplished? He went down the list and then said, "And he had covid while doing this! His aides are working on how to give it to him again since he performs so well with it."
