Democrats and others expressed outrage at the way special prosecutor Robert Hur chose to explain this decision—but what else exactly was Hur supposed to say? He had to produce a report. He had to lay out why he wasn’t going to try to bring a case against Biden. He did. What he said was that Biden had sat for an interview with his team and that the president’s memory was so poor and his capacity for recollection so feeble he came across as non compos mentis.
Joe Biden erupted in outrage that the special prosecutor actually mentioned he was unable to recall the year of his son Beau’s death. “How dare he?” Biden said at his nightmarish appearance before the press in the White House. But Hur dared say it because he was trying to explain, in a report he was obliged to file under law, why he was letting Biden off the hook.
Fifteen seconds after he expressed his anger, Biden couldn’t remember the name of the parish where his late son Beau had gotten the rosary Biden now carries with him. Ten minutes after that, Biden said that the president of Mexico had closed the crossing to Gaza. “My memory is fine,” he had barked at a reporter earlier. Oh, sure.
Now, Donald Trump will not be able to argue successfully in federal court that the case against him should be dropped because he is being prosecuted for exactly the same offense Biden will not face legal sanction for. These are separate cases, and it’s also true that Biden didn’t seek to hide documents while Trump did.
But come on. This is the end of the political jeopardy to Trump from the classified-documents case. And that was the one case against him that gave even his supporters pause.
Go here to read the rest. This ceased to be funny long ago. Biden should be in a nursing home, not the oval office. He is in no condition to run a lemonade stand let alone the country. This jeopardizes all of us. Time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Add to new characters to join the other infamous thugs that wage war on Gotham;
Bobble Head and his sidekick Giggles.
They are the faces of the Party of Death.
Possible resurfacing of an old villain???
Hellary nasty woman Clingon come November?
Crime fighters be on alert.
You never know what evil, vile and disgusting slime the Democrats will prop up for the election.
Political pundit talk says the plan is to pull bobble head around May and put up big Mike for the dems.
No clue who ‘big mike’ is supposed to be.
Yon Newsome has stepped from the corner and he has a lean and hungry look.
“Big Mike” is Michelle Obama — an allusion to the persistent rumor/urban legend that she’s really a transgender man.
Biden is an acceptable sacrifice to the cult of Orange Man Bad.
His acquittal based on his mental state means they can retain the documents stick to keep away the Orange Man that haunts their dreams.
But don’t worry, the news of his mental state will soon pass and Biden will totter into November.
Libs love to have their cake and eat it too. They’ve been selling that forever!
I don’t believe Obiden has been making the big decisions required of his office, so leaving him in may not be as risky as one would think. I do believe that all this is but the execution of a grand plan to ease Obiden out and replace him with a candidate that can more easily beat Trump. I think both party’s establishments want Trump out of the way, so the GOP calling for the 25th instead of letting the Dems twist in the wind is no surprise.
I’m not sold on “grand plans”. Balzac notes that a lot of what seems conspiracy by the powerful is madcap ad hoc scramble behind a well-drawn curtain. Something slipped to generate that appalling interview: either Potatohead broke his leash or there was a fight as to who got to “puppet” him that night. As Dana Perino (Fox) noted: they should have had him read a short, crisp prepared text from the Oval Office, then a scripted morning interview when he was rested. That might have been a pancake landing rather than a crash.
I’m going off the main topic here to engage in a rant, so be warned. i have unwisely read an entire essay by John Podhoretz, whom I formerly held in high regard (until about 2016 or so), and he has once again aroused my ire.
Someone refresh my recollection, I’m getting old. But when did Trump “try to hide classified documents?” As I remember it, Trump told the Feds he had a legal right to have them and refused to give them up, hence the staged raid on his home, (for which the FBI will never be held accountable unless Trump manages to survive, win the election, and actually get inaugurated again). Biden stashed his stolen documents in an unlocked garage where anyone could walk away with them. But it’s okay, he’s too old to be prosecuted. He’s all of what, three years older than Trump?
You can rely on Never Trumpers like Podhoretz to be, well, Never Trumpers. I love how he actually used that label against another one of his Never Trumper buddies in this same piece. He hopes Gavin Hairgel or Mooch Obama will save them. That’s the only reason he’s now thumping the 25th Amendment drum, IMO. I think it’s obvious that he hates Trump just as much as they all do. He almost certainly voted for Biden and will vote for whomever the Dems put up. Don’t be fooled. Conservative, Inc.’s members are not our friends. And Podhoretz is one of their founders.
Rant over. 😁
The case against Trump is garbage. I say that as someone who wanted DeSantis to be the nominee. I want Trump to go away but he won’t and his supporters are 100% emotionally behind him and are impervious to reason.
I ignore almost all of the media anymore. I just want to reach retirement and quit my job.
