Angry Biden lashes out at reporters, special counsel after scathing classified documents report: ‘I know what the hell I’m doing’

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.”

The sitting President of the United States is unfit to stand trial.

That’s the upshot of the special counsel’s report.

God help us!

Whatever is wrong with Harris, beyond what is obvious, is so horrible that not one single DemoKKKrat is advocating for her.

Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. They can’t even bump off Heels because that puts the Speaker into the Oval Office.

Biden told a reporter “My memory's so bad I let you speak"

Did that make sense to anyone?

Even a dementia ridden Biden is better than Harris. Shudder.

At least the Deep State gets to control Biden.

Kamala Harris will do something crazy like support Hamas if she's the POTUS.

So we would possibly see Harris get impeached.

So nah. They're staying with the puppet.

I for one hope he stays in. People are done with him, they also dislike Harris. People also vote with their pocketbooks. EVERYONE was better off 4 years ago.

the special council needs to sue Biden for defamation.

Because according to the Trump principle saying you are innocent is defamation!

I now hear the unconfirmed report that the VP document heist had the Burisma / Hunter connection info — he was trying to formulate protection for his bag man.

“ Biden says he’s competent... prosecute him!”

From what I can discern, the only job Biden could be competent at in his current condition is president of Harvard.

“The sitting President of the United States is unfit to stand trial.”

I have not seen any poster carry this to its logical conclusion.

It means that Biden could take a gun from a Secret Service agent, shoot down everyone in whatever room he was in, hand the gun back to the Secret Service agent—and he would be “unfit to stand trial”.

This is the ultimate “get out of jail free” card.

Just noting: one symptom of late-stage dementia is uncontrolled anger. Anyone who has dealt with someone who suffered from dementia knows this. And to be blunt it is horrible to experience.

I can just imagine how angry he got when Ashley wouldn't skin off her wedding dress for one last shower...

Next Friday. Lotsa shuffling/deal-making needs to take place first.

Notice the timing - this is all intentional and about getting FJB off the ballot. They know Trump will trounce him again. And this time, no 60 million mail in ballots to cheat.

OK, fine - now face the same charges as Trump, except that you had no power as VP to declassify anything, unlike Trump.

Yeah, I know that I am dreaming.

Why am I reminded of Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud when reading this.
