Trump was INTENTIONALLY hiding and moving classified materials.


Who cares? Trump and Biden have much more serious flaws as presidential candidates than some mishandled pieces of paper. No one is going to choose not to vote for them because of pieces of paper in their garage or a storage room at their residences. People won't vote for them because there is no way we can trust them to mentally and physically fit to serve through the duration of a second term. When determining whether or not these elderly people are worthy of a second presidential term, what they aren't capable of doing in 2027 and 2028 is more important than what they did a few years ago.


I agree with you that no one will vote based on their handling of classified docs, but disagree on the rest.

Biden is old and it shows. However his policies are acceptable (I'm not picky!) and he won't push the US towards autocracy and the world to the brink of WWIII. If he pops off, there's a reasonable VP in the wings.

Trump's age is the least of his problems. He lacks basic empathy and human decency and wants an authoritarian state, and an authoritarian world. The VP he picks will be nearly as bad.

So no. It's not the same thing. If we get Biden, we'll live with his policies. If we get Trump, some people in the world, including here are home, might not live at all.




There is a BIG difference.


I agree with you for the most part but none of this changes the fact that neither of these people have any business serving as POTUS until 2029.

Ahh so sound effects are "toddler" and "dementia" behavior?

Well have I got news for you... Trump's even worse. Even with just his "bings" alone.

Okay Einstein, then throw away your vote if you want. Because here's the thing, which we all know -- the only 2 candidates you are going to have who stand any chance of winning the White House are Biden and Trump. You can stamp your feet all you want but that isn't going to make a different name magically appear on the ballot. Nor is writing in your preferred candidate going to change the outcome, no matter how good it makes you feel about yourself. So you can choose not to participate in democracy or throw away your vote. Those of us who know what a disaster Trump would be in a second term can choose to vote for a guy who has been doing a decent job these past 3 years, who isn't and who surrounds himself with good people, who is not inclined to give in to dictatorial impulses and who still believes in our democratic institutions.

Biden: What month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th...

Two people remind him it was 2015.

Biden: Was it 2015 he had died?

Unidentified individual: It was 2015.


I'd have to pause to think of the year my beloved mother died and she died well after 2015. And no, I am not suffering from dementia. I remember exactly where I was when I got the phone call. But the year? I'd have to start counting backwards to recall it.

Wait til you hear Trump's testimony to Robert Mueller! Same lack of recall. Are you equally outraged?

My beloved grandmother & grandfather died around the same time period (one month apart from each other). I honestly can't tell you the year off the top of my head. I'd need to count backwards or maybe look at a calendar.

TBH, I read that transcript and its not a big deal.

My mother and father died two years apart and you bet I know the exact dates - month, day and year of their deaths.
It is difficult to believe that someone who brings up his son's death at every opportune time cannot recall even the year in which he died.
It makes me wonder what other important events and details he cannot recall.... especially when it comes to our national security.

It ain't gonna work.

"Years old events." My gosh.... he couldn't remember when he was VP or when his son died.



But he did remember when his son died. This was such a partisan hit job

Biden knew the exact day - he stated "May 30" in his testimony - but had difficulty remembering the year (2015). He remembers the anniversary of his son's death, which makes sense - its something you think about every year at the same time.

The only way I remember the year of my wedding (2018) is because it was the year after we bought our house (2017). I wrote down the date of my house purchase so many times during our 3 refinancings and every year in TurboTax so I get the bigger tax deduction for $1m original principle balance; in contrast, I never write down the date of our wedding.

Memory works in weird ways, especially when you have so many major life moments clustered over a 4-5 year period of time - as when happens when you're the VPOTUS....or buy a house, get married, have a baby, change jobs in a small window of time).

Look, if we stipulate that Biden is 80 years old, will the GOP admit that Hur's report is a steaming POS that actually absolves Biden?

If it absolves him because of his age and mental acuity, then he has absolutely no business in the role of president.
