The special counsel, who is not in a position to make a mental fitness assessment, who is not trained or qualified to do so, who was not tasked with doing so, decided that not remembering the years certain events took place in (as if Biden was a living resume and not a person) is a sign of some sort of memory problem.

Forgive me if I don't worry about the guy making the kinds of memory errors most of us do.

corporate media carrying water for Trump, same old

The only nightmare I see is Trump. Biden having to step to his Vice after the election is not the worst scenario

I am under 50 and I gotta do math to figure out what age my parents are. I gotta think for a second to remember my daughter's birth date, and I have made mistakes putting my age down or writing the current year.

I have no dementia or senescence. Biden sounds like he is doing great at his age, and probably compared to mine too.

They're both too old and out of touch. It's an embarrassment that either of these candidates are "the best we got".

Neither party gives a fuck about Americans, only gaining power and wealth.

It would be virtually impossible for anyone else to challenge him at this point; the deadline has passed in more than 30 states to get on primary ballots.

There's still a convention, and the Democratic party is a private organization, it can run whatever selection method it wants on whatever schedule it wants. If it's bad enough that the party really wants to find an alternative, they can do it.

Now, the distinctions may be harder for Biden allies to draw, given that Hur wrote that there was evidence Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”

The report mentions an instance in February 2017, when he was no longer vice president, when Biden read notes containing classified information “nearly verbatim” to a ghostwriter helping him with his book, “Promise Me, Dad.”

Storage of sensitive government secrets was haphazard. The report describes certain classified records involving the war in Afghanistan in Biden’s Delaware garage inside a “badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus.”

It's bad when Biden does it.

It's bad when trump does it.

Why can't we have an option that doesn't do this shit?

I hate that our government has so many elderly people in it. This idea that wisdom comes with age is the dumbest shit ever created. It's even worse cause this is our only non-Trump option. The lesser of 2 idiots.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden sidestepped any criminal charges as the investigation into his handling of classified documents concluded, but the political blowback from the special counsel’s report Thursday could prove even more devastating, reinforcing impressions that he is too old and impaired to hold the highest office.

It was tough enough for Biden to reassure voters about his heath before Hur’s report hit like a thunderclap Thursday afternoon, prompting members of his own party to question whether he could remain the nominee in November.

“It’s a nightmare,” said a Democratic House member who asked to speak anonymously to provide a frank assessment, adding that “it weakens President Biden electorally, and Donald Trump would be a disaster and an authoritarian.”

Though Biden was fortunate to escape indictment, the special counsel report may give Trump additional fodder as he fights charges for allegedly mishandling classified records at his Mar-a-Lago social club.

The report mentions an instance in February 2017, when he was no longer vice president, when Biden read notes containing classified information “nearly verbatim” to a ghostwriter helping him with his book, “Promise Me, Dad.”
