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!"

Just wow. What a complete disaster!
Maybe if they hid him a good bit (like in the 2020 campaign)...he could slide by the remaining 11 months to exit.
But the past hundred days have been a stress on the guy, with an average of ten screw-ups a week. His hyped-up speeches? One gets the impression that he’s on some type of drug (on these speeches, you notice he doesn’t blink).
VP Harris would move up. I don’t think she’d select Michelle Obama or Gov Newsom as her VP. I’m also wondering if she gets fired up to announce herself as the candidate and try to corner the convention.
Obama could probably use her just like he used Biden, this
time for his forth term.
I don’t see them sing her again. They may big a replacement
and let them choose the VP.
It’s all conjecture for now.
It will be Biden that won’t leave the WH
They’ve gotten away with getting facts wrong and not being unaccountable for years.
How many times does Michelle have to say no before anybody believes her? She hated being in Washington when Barack was president.
Simply put, he is an embarrassment. So proud (of what I am not sure), that he will choke on his pride before he admits any weakness, error, or fault. He is the emperor with no clothes ... and just as unaware as in the fable. An embarrassment.
This possibly was the actual offering up of the sacrific on the alter? Perhaps the PTB feel Biden’s usefulness is over?
He has been contained and controlled for years now. It is appearing that ready or not, Obama may be forced to replace him.
I find Joe Biden utterly reprehensible for many valid reasons, but what kind of evil willfully uses someone suffering with dementia? For what purpose? What do they gain? I think Obama is behind the curtain. I think his cook is dead because of something he discovered. And I bet he gets away with it all.
I said it would be her Healsup Harris and Birdbrain….
It doesn't matter how willful Biden was or was not capable of being; what matters is that he was grossly negligent in taking and securing those documents over the years.
That was not addressed in the report.

“Do you remember Yuri Andropov?”
I remember he disappeared faster than a pizza roll at a pot party.

He’s a vegetable. They’re going to have to push him down the stairs at some point.
Yes, good catch. But it’s all lost on his lickspittle apologists. Many of his idiot supporters weren’t even alive in the 70s
Do you think they will take Ole Joe to the train station?
His brain is mush NOW, but what about when he left office? What was the intent?
I think they’re making a strategic move not charging him, and throwing the book at Trump. They don’t want to appear as if they’re taking advantage of someone who’s not lucid, but it will help Trump in the long run.
No, D O C T O R Jill will fight it. Slow Joe hasn’t the first clue what year he’s in. The man talks to dead people. As long as he gets his favorite fruit cup while he’s watching “Wheel of Fortune” at 7pm and channel 7, he’s good. D O C T O R Jill wants to stay in the White House. Anyone who really cared for their husband would have takeout of the game long ago. Yes, a crime was committed but Slow Joe hasn’t the mental wherewithal to commit a crime anymore. The man refers to the Pentagon as “You know, the THING!!” Someone in his cabal needs to say enough is enough and send him to the Trembing Acres nursing home.
She doesn’t want to be stuck in Delaware with President Magoo. She probably figures he will die in office if she can get him re-elected and then she’ll be pitied by the world. The cabinet needs to give her an ultimatum: Either have him step down gracefully or they’ll remove him.
Just thing , D O C T O R Jill: The ultimate teachable moment.
