Indignant Biden Triples Down in Wake of Scathing Special Counsel Report
townhall ^ | 2/8/2024 | spencer brown

In a previously unscheduled address to the nation from the White House on Thursday evening, an angry President Joe Biden sought to respond to the bombshell report from Special Counsel Robert Hur and insisted "my memory is fine" while attacking Hur for some items included in the report.

"How in the hell dare he raise that," an angry Biden said of the portion of Hur's report that stated Biden "did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died." That matter, the president said, is "none of their damn business."

"For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about," Biden insisted, despite the report directly quoting Biden's confused answers. "It has no place in this report," declared Biden. "The bottom line is the matter is now closed and I can continue what I've always focused on: my job of being the president of the United States of America."

Responding to questions from the White House press corps, Biden insisted "I know what the hell I'm doing" and told Fox News Channel's Peter Doocy "my memory's so bad that I let you speak," before again stating "my memory is fine."

I was thinking this report, highlighting FJB’s senility would start the avalanche among the Dims to replace him.

Rather, it looks like circle the wagons and double down. Well, it that is what it takes to keep Michelle-my-Belle on the sidelines, so be it.

He’s in the odd position of arguing that he should be charged, he’s so competent, where Hur weaseled out of charging by stressing his incompetence

"I know what the hell I'm doing"

And "I am not a crook."

It damned well better not be closed.

How fatuous of him to say Beau is “none of their damn business” when he brings it up himself every chance he can.

Great point!

Hur - “I can’t charge him because he is old, senile and incompetent.”
Biden - “I AM competent. Go ahead and charge me!”

What to make of this?

Did Jill send him out there to let the Obamas know that she’s not going to let Joe step down?

At this point, you have to believe that the Democrat nomenklatura are weighing their options...”Is the unthinkable (Harris) actually better than allowing this old fool to carry on like this in public?”

In the press conference, Brandon said he had a bracelet (in memory of Beau) “for St. “. Brandon literally just didn’t say the name and went on like that was normal.

In.San.Ity.

Looks like his is a lone wagon desperately hanging on while whomever is running the show is actively letting him hang himself.

Didn’t format correctly. Brandon said he had a bracelet in memory of Beau by “Saint __________________.”

That is literally what he said.

By this time, isn’t it Biden quintupling down?

the whole thing reminded me of Nixon declaring “ I am not a crook”

In Pedo Joes case “ I am not senile”

“I am not a crook.”

Yea, do you think there are any similarities between Nixon and Biden?

Will a 25th Amendment action provoke a Constitutional Crisis (based on the ineligibility of Kamala Harris to assume the Presidency)?

His angry response is pure Alzheimer's. Joe is in late stage Alzheimer's and living a demented illusion.

Joe is dangerous to us, others and himself. Don't expect the cabinet to act on the 25th Amendment. Pressure is going to have to be brought to bear soon and strongly. Who is going to do it?

They are doing this to get him out. He has been set up. They can’t kill him so this instead.
