President Biden lashed out at reporters and special counsel Robert Hur Thursday night in response to a scathing report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents that could prove devastating to his re-election prospects.
The report on Biden’s improper retention of sensitive material by Hur did not recommend criminal charges, but observed that the 81-year-old commander-in-chief was greatly diminished mentally, forgetting the dates of key events of his life during an interview with investigators.
“I’ve seen the headlines since the report was released about my willful retention of documents. These assertions are not only just misleading, they’re just plain wrong,” Biden said defiantly during a hastily scheduled appearance in the White House Diplomatic Reception Room.
“In addition, I know there’s some attention paid to the language in the report about my recollection of events. There’s even some reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How the hell dare he raise that? Frankly when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damned business.”
Biden then railed against Hur’s assessment that he would likely be let off by a jury on the grounds of perceived senility — moments before misidentifying Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the “president of Mexico.”
“I am well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man and I know what the hell I’m doing,” Biden fumed, editing Hur’s description of him as coming across to prospective jurors as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The president retorted: “I’ve been president and I put this country back on its feet. I don’t need his recommendation.”
“My memory is fine,” Biden snapped at one reporter, telling another, “My memory is so bad I let you speak.”

Bump to the top.
This feels almost like Slick Willy denying that he had sex with Monica.
The more Biden yells, the more we know he’s not there.
My guess is he’ll drop out of presidential race, but still stay in office for the rest of his term.
But then ... a few hours ago, I thought he’d never go.
I’ve thought for some time now that the Democrats will assassinate Harris and try to frame a MAGA patsy. Then Biden will appoint Hillary or someone worse to be VP. The final step will be for Biden to resign. With what has happened today, they need to pull in their timetable.
I wish Biden wouldn’t use “Hell” in this context...
Remember he brought the country back
Loses? IF he runs, there's no way on this side hell that the rats are going to let that happen.. Otherwise, I'm thinking Big Mike is the only one left (Maybe Susan Rice) that Barry Soetoro can trust to continue the attack on our nation.
"Patriot's History of the United States", I have that book.. Good read.! :)
I’ve explained countless times why they can’t remove him. If by some crazy means they did remove him, Harris would be president and the nominee. She will lose by 2x what Rutabaga loses by.
And he will lose.
What a great Trump campaign ad this would make:
“I am well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man and I know what the hell I’m doing.”
“I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message!”
.......Angry biden lashes out at reporters, special counsel after scathing classified documents report: ‘I know what the hell I’m doing’......
No you don’t!!!
It’s too bad that when biden resigns, the incompetent Kamala will be President!
Lord have mercy!
And there is always a remnant!
May we poor sinners be counted worthy to be considered part of it by our gracious God!
I can handle things! I'm lucid! Not like everybody says... like with Alzheimer's ... I'm lucid and I want respect!

CNN aired a four-minute fact check of Biden’s speech, emphasizing some of the most damning sections of Hur’s report.
