Hysteria over Biden’s age is a distraction from Trump’s authoritarianism; Despite the special counsel’s commentary on Biden’s supposed forgetfulness in his report.., the enormous stakes of this election remain unchanged. (the meds aren’t working alert)

Special counsel Robert Hur appears to have gotten what he was after with his final report on President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.

Hur, a former Trump-appointed U.S. attorney, claimed that Biden had “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but said the evidence was insufficient to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. And the special counsel also differentiated Biden’s handling of documents from former President Donald Trump’s. But more than anything else, Hur’s ample commentary on Biden’s memory has become fodder for far-right — and not-so-far-right — media.

Which made for an interesting Thursday.

On the same day the Supreme Court appeared likely to ultimately rule that Trump can’t be disqualified from appearing on Colorado’s presidential ballot despite stoking the Jan. 6 riot, some people in the court of public opinion were suggesting that Biden had become disqualified himself — for supposed forgetfulness — or that his re-election campaign had sustained a near-fatal injury. Personally, I think that’s a damning portrayal of American politics: judicial failure and journalistic failure rolled into one.

Personally, I think that’s a damning portrayal of American politics: judicial failure and journalistic failure rolled into one.

I thought about that while reflecting on remarks from Norma Anderson of Colorado. Anderson, a 91-year-old Republican, is one of the plaintiffs in the effort to bar Trump from the ballot in her state. When she was asked about being involved in the case, she told NPR:

“I lived through World War II. I remember Hitler. I remember my cousin was with Eisenhower when they opened up the concentration camps. ... I mean, I understand protecting democracy.”

It’s an ominous warning to the nation about what might await us if Trump is elected.

The resort by the Leftnicks to labeling Trump as an authoritarian dictator goes in line with their image of our modern Capitalist like Elon Musk, who they also loath. It was Marxist Bernie Sanders that reinvigorated that hate.

According to an article in the August 15, 2023 Fortune Magazine: "Musk is attempting to channel French tyrant Napoleon Bonaparte in his leadership style" (according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson). That biography is now out.

Even though Isaacson's biography is not an anti-Capitalist rant, he did mention Musk's study of Napolean to attract Lefty readers.

Let's be clear, the DemonKKKrat's Marxist fight against Trump is a part of the historic fight of the age between Marxism and Capitalism. The only reason DomonKKKrats tolerate them is they are the golden goose that feeds them on K Street, Washington D.C.

MSLSD, yes. But “MSTDS” might be more accurate.

You have focused to the true danger of the DemonKKKrat’s to the United States. It has been something they have done before when they engineered the Confederacy. I fear Biden is only a puppet being used by unaccountable evil players (Soros). Our media has done a negligent job of uncovering who is behind all of this. It suggests they are part of the coup. They with their front guy, Biden, have done a job destroying the U.S.A.

Remember when the democrats were screaming about Reagan’s age at 70 claiming he was too old to be President and would probably die in his first term? One magazine even had an illustration of a dead Reagan on a hospital gurney.

Now they are again claiming an 81 year old man we knew was “losing it” back in the Obama days is still “The Best Man for the Job!”

This is why we need Biden to stay in the WH until the election.

Since the Democrats are raw evil it is better to deal with a senile doddering fool that is evil than someone younger and more vigorous.

They’re playing the old “authoritarian” card over and over because it’s the only one they have left.

Yes how long did they play the Russia Russia Russia song selective reality training in process.

HUR has turned a ‘prosecution’ into a SUICIDE-—

MASTERFUL JOB, IMO.

BIDEN just cannot control his well known temper & his addiction to the cameras & microphones.

Democrats are textbook fascists, which makes this play both rich…and right out of their textbook.
