So it turns out former Republican President Donald Trump seems to have dug his own grave, so to speak, when it comes to any charges he might face for allegedly mishandling classified documents.

During his term as President, he signed a 2018 bill into law that changed the penalty for doing so and made the crime a felony.


The bill amended the legislation governing consequences for removing classified materials to increase the possible prison sentence from 1 year to 5 years.

While no specific details as to why the FBI suddenly raided Mar-a-Lago last week have been released, it has been widely reported the raid likely had to do with classified documents the former President failed to turn over to the National Archives.

The contents of the allegedly mishandled documents have not yet been disclosed, nor has their potential impact on national security, but many speculated there must be something important contained in the documents to warrant such a sudden and thorough search.

Twitter users were highly amused by the whole situation, including Tennessee Democratic Senator Jeff Yarbro.


It remains to be seen whether any charges will be filed against Trump, but if they are, the very sticky situation he might find himself in will be entirely of his own making—in more ways than one.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
