View Full Version : Biden’s Classified Documents Case
I see the Special Counsel’s report on the Biden documents case has been released. It seems he took them to make some kind of argument against Obama’s Afghanistan policy. No charges will be forthcoming because the Special Counsel believes President Biden’s memory is too enfeebled to stand trial. Coming close to his recent lapses naming leaders and countries, this could be a problem for him.
Personally, I think Trump’s document case is the most damaging one against him.
I wondered what sort of mental health qualifications a lawyer had to pass judgement on Biden’s memory and if there will be similar mental health evaluation for Trump, who will probably deny remembering certain things, too. Not to mention his other mental health problems.
It is interesting that Biden’d people are keeping him from even doing an easy interview with Gayle (whatever her last name is) during the Super Bowl. How is Biden going to handle debates with Trump? Super weird that they are keeping Biden under wraps like this and inaccessible. Makes it look they’re like have something to hide.

I don’t think he was making a psychiatric evaluation. He was talking about how a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” would present to a jury.

Exactly! It wasn't a diagnosis but rather an excuse for not bringing charges.
So now we have a choice between George III and Napoleon?

I would like you to not malign Napoleon in that manner! Haha.
The George III analogy sticks.

Was it that he couldn’t remember some things or that he has memory problems. Is there a difference and on what basis was the distinction and who is best to decide. I actually have the "opinion" that both candidates have memory problems and Trump wants to be a king
"Twenty seven times Trump can't remember"....

Krugman always has an enlightened perspective of things.

I want the none of the above option, like Nevada has.
That damage control press conference was painful to watch.
I don’t see why all these Democrats are trying to paint Hur as some kind of GOP operative. Biden’s AG appointed him as SC, and also made the call on whether to publish the report or not.

Though I'm glad Biden won last time around, I do not look forward to another 4 years of cognitive decline on his part. And the idea of four years of DJT is unthinkable. My family in Vienna is hoping the United States comes up with some kind of solution other than an acting President serving from prison, as am I. Rob

What cognitive decline are you seeing? Biden seems to be way sharper than Reagan was during his second term and republicans didn’t have a problem with that.

Some of his cut offs and gaffes have been quite alarming. I truly wish both Biden AND Trump would just shrivel up and go away and we could have viable candidates for a change. I'm not feeling that this time around so far but I would vote for Biden to vote against Authoritarian Evil. Rob

Cthullu for President, because it's the lesser of three evils.:laff:
There was a reporter on NPR yesterday interviewing someone about that absurd Alabama Supreme Court decision about frozen embryos. At one point the person being interviewed mentioned that the goal of the religious extremists with decisions like this is to move the Overton window. The reporter mistook Overton to be the name of the case overturning Roe v Wade and referred to the “Overton case” twice during the remainder of the interview. Since we’re now apparently judging people mentally unfit for employment if they make any verbal gaffes or stumbles then clearly the NPR reporter needs to be sent to the old folks home regardless of what her age is.

That blunder struck me, as well. Maybe she was having a bad night? She seems like a bright young woman. Maybe she doesn't have "Dobbs" burned indelibly into her consciousness the way my generation seemed to have had "Roe"?
Biden's verbal blunders don't bother me. It's his increasing physical fragility that does.

That's my take as well. He looks like a good breeze could bowl him over. I've just about concluded that he is a mouth breather much of the time if not always? Which makes him appear out of breath, baffled, or slack jawed in interviews, besides his speech issues.

The breathless reporting about his annual physical confirmed that he now uses a CPAP. So yeah, maybe he is a "mouth breather". And yeah, that's completely irrelevant to whether he can perform the functions of president.
Meanwhile the ugly orange psycho-goon can't remember the name of his damn wife but that barely makes page 40 of the news.
