Biden calls for president to step down.

President Joe Biden took to the microphone for an unannounced address on Thursday night, following the release of the politically devastating Special Counsel report that said he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." While the report stated that such actions "present serious risks to national security,” Biden will not face charges because he presents himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of willfulness.” The report elaborated by pointing out he couldn’t even remember when he was vice president and didn’t even remember when his son Beau died.
The address was scheduled for 7:45 p.m. but did not actually get underway until around 8 — well past his usual 7 p.m. bedtime.
I can't explain how or why Biden's handlers felt it was a good idea to trot him out at night to talk about the special counsel report, but it did not go well. He was belligerent and defensive, and it was a terrible look. When he addressed the report claiming that he couldn't remember when his son died, it really got bad.
"How in the hell dare he raise that," Biden said angrily, concluding that it is "none of their damn business."
"For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about," Biden insisted, even though the report presented direct quotes. "It has no place in this report."
Biden also blamed his staff for storing classified documents in his home, office, and garage, insisting, "I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff would do!"

Yeah, right... in a few days, everyone is going to move on to talking about the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift.
Mere speech impediment since birth, nothing to see here says Karim Abdul-Pierre tomorrow.
Biden calls for president to step down.
“I suspect Joe was badly bleeding support from his own party, people who decided they don’t want to go down with the ship.”
HOW MANY book deals are being discussed tonight?
This ain’t 1919 or 1963.
I hear Cameltoe Hairass cackling in the next room.
That said, that was probably the most lucid I have seen Zhou.
When Biden committed these willful, national security-risking actions, he was younger than President Trump was on the 8/8/2022 date of the Mar-a-Lago raid.
In other news the Social Security administration announced that everyone would be mailed “Get out of jail free” cards on their 80th birthday.
;-)
“Biden will not face charges because he presents himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of willfulness.””
Note the tricky slithering these snakes are doing. They say he lacks the mental capacity for willfulness, and so he shouldn’t be charged with a crime. But even if he lacks the mental capacity now, he didn’t commit the crimes now, he committed them years or decades ago, when he had more mental capacity than he has now. (Admittedly this is a low bar.) So somehow his lack of mental capacity and willfulness now is somehow magically able to teleport back in time, preventing him from being charged for actions he took ages ago.
Wait, it’s not magic, it’s having a (D) after his name.
Nor could I. This WHOLE REGIME has been a disaster for our country.
Well said.
Al Capp predicted FJB with Joe Btfsplk.
That’s not how ANY of The Big Three “news” programs,on abc,cbs,nbc, will spin, spin and spin, to alibi for him, say that his mental state is not that bad, just more paranoid, knee jerk reacting from the Right.
And all the usual leftist asses in showbiz will scream he’s still doing just great, better than ever!!!!
If Biden disagrees with the characterization of himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and that he is mentally competent, does not that mean that he should be prosecuted?
Not if Harris is POTUS at the convention. I believe the 25th is no more than 3 weeks away from being invoked. Pres Harris who was the AG and Senator from the country’s largest state and who was 3+ years VPOTUS is not going to go easily.
They can’t have it both ways.
There are two choices here:
1. Biden is and has been a dementia ridden husk for the last for at least a decade and is therefore incompetent to stand trial. It therefore follows that he isn’t competent to remain in office.
2. He says he’s mentally competent to stand trial. Notice he didn’t deny a single one of the allegations contained in this report. Not a single one.
Either choice is frightening.

Do you remember Yuri Andropov?
"One nation, under a senile old pantz-shizzer, with liberty for none and fake justice for Democrats."
eff this skeezy banana republic we live in.
“ This ain’t 1919 or 1963.”
No, but it might be 1974.
President Joe Biden took to the mumblephone.
I did watch the Carlson/Putin interview. Long at 2 hours but well worth it.
I really honestly thought he might die right there during the speech.
Just looked like a senile old man yelling at people.
