US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events.
In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: “My memory is fine.”
He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”
The inquiry found Mr Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed” classified files, but decided not to charge him.
Was this a special counsel or a psychiatrist? This dude needs to stay in his lane instead of doing politics
The examples were ridiculous too, like he doesn’t have perfect recall of the exact dates that staff members moved certain papers from one office to another 6-7 years ago? During an interview literally the evening after the latest Israeli Gaza conflict started between important foreign policy meetings? No shit. Who would.
The report even talks about lots of other people who didn’t recall exact details or dates, but he doesn’t go accusing all of Biden’s aides of having poor memory too. What a ridiculous and unprofessional political hit job. Looks like this special counsel is hankering for another turmp administration job like his last one.
I can remember exactly what was said. The weather. The general feeling of the conversation, but the date it happened? There’ll be a couple month long window, and sometimes I’m wrong about that
I’m more worried that he can’t remember who the current leaders of Germany or France are. I understand that the Republican party went all in on fascism so they can’t really question the leader, what I don’t understand why the Democratic party is also saying that the best person to lead the country out of 340 million people is also someone way past is prime.
Because Obama is the last time we remember being happy. So association?
I would remember the years I was vice president.
I would also remember the year my son died.
I’m not him, and I remember the years he was vice president. Don’t you?
I haven’t read the report. Can you show me where it says he couldn’t remember the years he was vice president and when his son died?
This is a man who had his party prevent a primary process and will likely prevent debates in what the same people are telling us is the most important election in our lifetime.
You have all the information before you.
Why do you believe this is not undemocratic elder abuse by the Democratic party leaders?
Do you actually believe the 80+ year old man who can’t remember the name ‘Hamas’ is mentally competent? The same man the majority of Democratic voters believe is too old to be president?
Don’t piss on my leg and and tell me it is raining.
Had his party prevent a primary process? Do you have even the slightest idea of how presidential elections work? The incumbent president enjoys the presumption of being the nominee as long as they can, and want to, run again. If you didn’t understand that the first time around, that’s your fault.
10 percent of the States have removed, against the party rules, any candidate other than Biden from their primary ballots.
Despite there being large enough percentages of support for debates, none were held. Debates that Biden absolutely would lose.
I apparently understand primary elections more than you do if you believe the lie about the incumbent being the presumptive nomination means the process isn’t required and interfered with by the party.
No, sweetie, you really don’t understand the primary process, or how presidential elections work in this country.
Haha and you think he should “debate” Trump?
If Trump wins the Republican nomination, and somehow isn’t convicted of a crime that is disqualifying, yes.
That is hour the process in a presidential election works.
On an unrelated note, I’m furious at the Georgia prosecutor. That case was the easiest to win, absent the stupid personal corruption.
So Trump can shout random nonsense the entire time when it isn’t his turn to talk about whatever stupid fantasy comes to his head? Ignoring and even making shitty accusations toward the moderator and lying about what he’s said in the past and lying about his portrayal in the media? No fucking thank you.
It isn’t a required part of the process. It has always been an agreement between good faith actors. There is no good faith in Trump’s intention. He didn’t just ignore his own party’s debates, he held competing programs on another station to try and overshadow them.
If there is stupid personal corruption with the Georgia prosecutors, even in the complaint there is no bearing on the facts and procedure of the case. I hope they let the case continue and open up something separate to investigate those shenanigans.
Of course he’s mentally competent. If you believe this partisan hit job, I’d be more worried about your mental competence, to be honest.
Of course?!
This report isn’t required, and your not so subtle, idiotic, attempt to frame your opinion as the common one won’t work.
A majority of Democratic voters believe he is to old to run, and it comes from seeing him speak.
Get out of here with this ‘who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes’ bullshit.
Listen to Biden’s interview on Conan O’Brien’s podcast a few weeks ago and come back here and tell me he’s demented. We’ll wait.
And Trump wouldn’t engage in any of the debates. The choices aren’t very good.
