Joe Biden is seething.
Today's report into his handling of confidential documents he took when he was a senator and vice president ruled out criminal charges, but it has raised other serious questions.
It labelled Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory".
After reading both the report and seeing the news coverage of it, the president knew he needed to counter the narrative.
So he decided to utilise the bully pulpit of the presidency and called a hastily arranged press conference at the White House.
"I know what the hell I am doing. I am president

“ Today's report into his handling of confidential documents he took when he was a senator and vice president ruled out criminal charges, but it has raised other serious questions.”
This is rich. And I’m confused.
So he was old and stupid and taking documents when he was a senator (riding Amtrak) AND when he was Obama’s lackey??
He’s been old and stupid this whole time???!!!

I think legally, he was not allowed to see or have those documents. And he's not a benign old man with a little memory loss. He has big time dementia. Big difference.

So Biden is officially found to have dementia and the big news is that Trump might use that against him? TDS.

While he beats his chest and gloats how he beat this charge from his own D of J dept, Hurr in giving him a pass has given Trump more ammo for jis campaign against him. He is unfit for office and well as the fool he has always been! Impeach him now OR use the 25th amendment and haul his ass back to the basement!

"I know what the hell I am doing." Well Joe, thanks for validating my gut hunch that you are hell bent on the destruction of the USA.

Obviously he was in his right mind as VP, when he took these documents. Let's look at that. When I held a TS/SCI clearance, people were put in prison if you left a safe or secure file cabinet open.

Lots of fall out from this one.
Joe's press conference made him look like Fredo in the Godfather. "I'm smart!, I can do things!"
The DOJ decision not to prosecute Joe, while prosecuting Trump for the same thing, gives Trump's lawyers an opening. They should demand an explanation from Garland.
This entire matter reminds me of July 4 weekend, 2016..."no reasonable prosecutor"...SSDD.
I don't see Joe surviving this one.

How does one extend "sympathy" to exculpate past crimes? This Special Prosecutor is a Democrat shill and should be banned from ever practicing law.

• Cornered, Biden gets angry. His handlers decided on an aggressive offense because no defense is possible.
• who is making the decisions that Garland, Mayorkas, Kerry, Buttigieg, etc. are carrying out? Republicans need to find out and expose them.
• This (Australian) article states that Americans are unenthused about the upcoming elections. Wrong. We can’t wait to get this malignant, imbecilic gasbag out of office along with his flying monkeys in Congress.
• Getting Biden out of the WH won’t be easy when groups like the Delaware mafia, MS-13, the Latin Kings, the Sinaloa Cartel, Los Zetas and Xi Jinping want him there. Besides, Jill will have herself bolted to the floor in the Oval Office along with hunter’s hookers and dealers.

Ammunition? This is the the bunker-buster bomb like they used in Afghanistan.

Just an aside: did you see the articles a week or so ago where The Moron was using the F bomb and other insulting words to describe our real president, Donald Trump? He is just an angry, pedophyllic old man and he makes me sick to my stomach. This is what you call leadership, democrats?

Doesn't Hur presume too much by deeming Biden "sympathetic" and "well meaning"? Many would disagree, including a putative jury.

Well of course Hur saying he will not indict Biden does not mean that someone else cannot, and use Hur's own testimony at the trial.
I noticed at Biden's speech, that he was reading the whole thing from the teleprompter.
Even when he is angry he cannot speak on his own.

The headline reminds us that ABC is just a subsidiary of the larger Disney propaganda operation.

Could be used in the election, how about SHOULD be used in the upcoming election!
In fact, it should be used against every Democrat House and Senate member running for re-election since it's likely been common knowledge of his deficiencies which they kept quiet for pure political reasons.
They weren't looking out for the country.
