Biden, 81, 'plans to make AG Merrick Garland fall-guy for bombshell special counsel report that branded him senile old man,' as aide releases panicked statement and insiders claim better MAKE-UP could help solve age issue

Joe Biden is planning to make his attorney general Merrick Garland the scapegoat for the bombshell report which highlighted his mental challenges, it has been reported.

The Department of Justice released its long-awaited investigation into the president's mishandling of classified documents Thursday, delivering a damning assessment of his 'diminished faculties' and limited memory.

But Biden, 81, has informed his aides and advisers that Garland didn't do enough to rein in the report written by Special Counsel Robert Hur, according to Politico.

Top Biden aides have even suggested Garland should have edited the parts that made the president look like a senile old man - despite Biden vowing to hire an impartial attorney general in the wake of the Trump presidency.

Democrat insiders have also claimed more time working on makeup and lighting could help ease concerns about his age, according to CNN. They've urged aides to have him sat down at the start of appearances, rather than letting him shuffle onto stage stiffly - and to stop claiming the president merely suffers from arthritis.

It comes as the Biden-Harris campaign team also released a statement on Friday hitting out at Donald Trump's comments that some onlookers claimed was panicked and showed just how badly the White House has reacted to the scandal.

Biden-Harris advisor TJ Ducklo -who resigned from a White House job in 2021 over a bullying scandal - said: 'Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he's confused, deranged, lying, or worse.'

'Tonight, he lied more than two dozen times, slurred his words, confused basic facts, and placated the gun lobby weeks after telling parents to 'get over it' after their kids were gunned down at school.

'But you won't hear about any of it if you watch cable news, read this weekend's papers, or watch...

said: ‘Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he’s confused, deranged, lying, or worse.’ What a liar and fool this boy is..I have not heard any such thing. In fact, just the opposite, while Biden looks like an escapee from an old folks home.

A sober perspective. While I do believe we’ll be allowed to have an ‘election’, I also believe that we’re right at the point demographically and socially where a police state could be established to ‘save our democracy’ and enough people wouldn’t take up arms to destroy it. Incredibly, though, I can honestly say that I can see that being attempted. Thinking about it for a moment, though, it wouldn’t really be ‘establishing’ such a state— we have one already; it’d just be a shift/expansion of that state’s activities mixed in with a a few guns and an arrest every now and then to keep folks in line.

According to the nurse treating me for kidney stones in the ER, I was given fentanyl and morphine. It worked!

Suppose, in the right hands, most drugs can be benficial.

Most commentary is that the report is gratuitous and uncalled for.

Much rarer is any objection that it is inaccurate.

Hur did the nation a service.

Right out of the Dim playbook, and they are good at it: Project onto others the sins and faults you have.

Adderall isn’t methamphetamine salts as you said, but instead, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salts.

You also misdescribed Provigil.

Slept through a few classes, “dr”?

What is most interesting about this case - IMHO - are the lengths to which Hur goes to draw contrast between the Trump & Biden documents cases and portray false legitimacy to the government’s case against DJT...

...coupled with the lengths to which Hur went to disgrace & undermine Biden with his base in his report.

Just part of the larger game being fielded by Zero.

While I was in ER, the ER dr told me fentanyl he administered was much much stronger than morphine.

This is like the last days of Adolph.

He was using a concoction of something like twenty different drugs.

It was such a bizarre combination that animal rights activists still won’t let the white coats test it on lab rats.

It was an “Emperor has no clothes” moment.

Everybody in the Swamp has known for years that Biden was senile—but loyal subjects of the Empire just weren’t supposed to talk about it.

I watch a lot of Brit TV.

Since the illegal fentanyl crisis in America I have noticed that on Brit TV, the use of fentanyl is mentioned frequently. There is never any caution or mention of overdosage death.

Or, as Biden might say, “you can’t put pig lips on a stick”.

It would be fun if a video copy of the interview with Hur was leaked
