China Ben-Hur is special counsel Robert K. Hur. The WaPost reports that, among examples of what he saw as Biden's failing memory was that he couldn't remember the start and stop years of his own vice presidency.
"Hey, Barry, was that 2009?" Biden texts Dear Leader?
THIS is going to be really fun.
Hillary Clinton threw Joe Biden under the nursing home bus:
“I talked to people in the White House all the time, and you know, they know it’s an issue, but as I like to say, ‘look, it’s a legitimate issue,’” Clinton told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner earlier this week. “It’s a legitimate issue for [ex-President Donald] Trump who’s only three years younger, right? So it’s an issue.”
OK, now.
Meanwhile, Sleepy Joe is reportedly blaming Merrick Garland for that report getting out in the first place.
All of this only increases my concern that the MSM, librul version, and the MSM, Faux/wingnut version, isn't discussing the worry of either #DementiaJoe OR #DementiaDon carrying the nuclear football.
The AP says mixing up names is common. Common between living and dead people? And what about mixing up dates? Yeah, it tries to say that we'd forget when we put something in a box, but? If I were elected vice president of Merikkka, I think I'd remember when I started. Funny that Dr. Eric Lenze doesn't address that one. Also, the piece is bad neuroscience, relying on the old trope of your brain is like a computer, putting memories in files. And, even if it DID work that way, mixing up Sisi and AMLO? Yea, Abdel starts with an A, as does Andrés, but Sisi and Obrador? Not, and last-name addresses is what happens among world leaders, as in something that may be attributed to Lenze at the AP piece, or may just be a reporter's explainer that comes close to editorializing, talking about mixing up Macron and Mitterand. Same last name initial AND same country. Not different last initials AND different countries.
Heather Cox Richardson says that since Joe McCarthy days, Republicans have used smears to torpedo Democrats. Is this like Pelosi saying that Russians are behind pro-Palestinian protests?
That all said, Hur DID clerk for both Kozinski at the appeals court level and a year later for Renchburg I mean Rehnquist. And, many Republicans (tho none currently holding any federal positions) also think Hur was over the top.
Meanwhile, a Biden aide supposedly told Arab-Americans he had some regrets about Gaza. Biden's dementia will give him the old presidential "plausible deniability" he ever said that. And, the way I read the opening paragraph, it's Jon Finer expressing his own belief, not Hasbara Joe's, that he has "no confidence" Israel was willing to take "meaningful steps" to Palestinian statehood. Even via backdoor and on the QT, Biden, unlike Obama, would never say that.
Meanwhile, Trikki Nikki Haley is trolling Trump on the age and memory issue with mobile billboards in South Carolina.
And, why not? He had his own ginormous word salad at the NRA convention.
Meanwhile, part 2, Just Security engages in its own spinning, non-dementia division, on the Hur report.
