    Some @ sign moron is going to come in here and split hairs over how the document doesn’t literally cite dementia therefore we’re a bunch of lying Trump loving MAGA extremists.

    Bit idea: call out the “biden or bust” freaks for rampant elder abuse and that Joe should be able to “retire with dignity”

      Since I got less skin the game (don’t live in the US), the funniest outcome for me would be trump being convicted, elected, and then pardoning himself.

      I feel like the liberal population would implode

        I’m holding out hope that he gets convicted in some state (Georgia, probably) and then can’t pardon himself so he has to serve out his term from a jail cell. that would be the absolute funniest outcome and so on brand for the US.

          I thought that would stop him of being electable. If I misunderstood then you are right, it would be the funniest outcome

            there’s a technicality that you can’t hold federal office if you’ve done an insurrection, which is what the libs are furiously gesturing at. but they fundamentally misunderstand power. the supreme court can and will throw at that statute if it ever comes up in a case and it benefits them. but no state convictions or even lesser federal ones stop someone from taking power, once elected.

            USian federalism is weird. we elect a king every 4 years but his lords can throw him in jail and keep him there, while the priests deify his reign.

    On the one hand he probably has dementia, on the other hand I can relate to everything before 2020 being a big timeless blob. Beau died in the before time, when exactly? Who can say

    what the FUCK

    he forgot his SON DIED AND HE’S PRESIDENT?

    I knew he was mush, but I figured his son dying would at least still be there, I actually kind of feel bad hearing this, he should have been executed long before he got to this terrible state being manipulated this way

    Despite abundant differences between the cases, Trump immediately seized on the special counsel report to portray himself as a victim of a “two-tiered system of justice.”

    Let’s see what the differences are

    Yet even as Hur found evidence that Biden willfully held onto and shared with a ghostwriter highly classified information, the special counsel devoted much of his report to explaining why he did not believe the evidence met the standard for criminal charges, including a high probability that the Justice Department would not be able to prove Biden’s intent beyond a reasonable doubt, citing among other things an advanced age that they said made him forgetful and the possibility of “innocent explanations” for the records that they could not refute.

    “I did not share classified information,” Biden insisted. “I did not share it with my ghostwriter.” He added he wasn’t aware how the boxes containing classified documents ended up in his garage.

    The investigation into Biden is separate from special counsel Jack Smith’s inquiry into the handling of classified documents by Trump after Trump left the White House. Smith’s team has charged Trump with illegally retaining top secret records at his Mar-a-Lago home and then obstructing government efforts to get them back. Trump has said he did nothing wrong.

    Hur, in his report, said there were “several material distinctions” between the Trump and Biden cases, noting that Trump refused to return classified documents to the government and allegedly obstructed the investigation, while Biden willfully handed them over.

    So they already know he shared highly classified info with a ghostwriter lol. But it’s very different because he handed the material over.

    Yet, prosecutors say, he kept notebooks containing classified information in unlocked drawers at home.

    Biden kept classified documents in a garage and unlocked drawers. Trump kept them in his bathroom. Truly the most intelligent and capable candidates to lead this country

      If elected president, I promise to google how to make sure my 12 tiered “do not open” subfolder labyrinth is hidden from search functions and requires 3 passwords in order to access classified documents

    It’s so funny that this was supposed to be a victory lap for Biden not being charged, and then these juicy details come out.

    If they have a debate I just want trump to keep asking Biden to draw a clock and say nothing else until he attempts to draw a clock
