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.”

It’s pretty obvious he’s done. Maybe not in three days, but before the convention.

He looked terrible. I have to think his own people are setting him up.

Friendly reminder, Trump told us late september bidEn would be gone by late February. 3 weeks. That does not mean there will be an improvement, only that this fake pres is gone.

bidEn gone by late February or earlier, 2024

And, furthermore, on Jan 12 2021 Trump said:

“The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration,” Trump said. “As the expression goes, be careful of what you wish for.”

Then he fingered his left sleeve cuff, saying, "I wear this rosary every day, from Our Lady of ..."

Another Brandon memory lapse.

Yep, he’s just a well meaning forgetful old man when it comes to handling classified documents but he’s highly qualified when it comes to having nuclear codes and negotiating with world leaders. Well son of a b***h!

He interrupted Wheel of Fortune for this.

Now THAT is something leftish Americans would find to be an impeachable offense.

Biden says, “I know what the hell I am doing”…..A short time later, Joe Biden, “ I talked to Sisi, President of Mexico to open border to aid for Gaza”. Sure Joe, you know exactly what your doing…

They have to know that they’ll lose if they run him again. Their only hope is to somehow keep Trump from running.

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.

It is also high comedy.

If a prosecutor asks you when your child died that is a good and harmless question—unless you are suspected of killing them!

Maybe reporters were told Biden would resign.

And they were upset he didn’t They wanted a winnah and they got an angry Biden instead.

We know they side with democrats. We know they don’t want Trump. (We know this because they tell us this on TV and in print everyday.)

If you had the opportunity to hear Biden’s speech to donors this afternoon, his speech tonight was verbatim. You’d think doing it twice in the space of a few hours he could have done a better job.

He’s done. Here comes President Harris.

Yup. And this is going to hurt me to say: Even a dementia ridden Biden is better than Harris. Shudder.

He left the room abruptly because he has to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting with Winston Churchill.

This is a little bit of a reach but decoding dementia is fun for the whole family.

Since Biden mentioned Mexico and Gaza together I suspect he was actually thinking about the Gadsden Purchase of 1854.

Gaza.

Gadsden.

Could be.
