THERE GOES (VAROOM! VAROOM!) THAT KANDY-KOLORED  TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE–FLAKED SCLEROTIC BRANDON! Vrooom: President Biden Was Making Car Sounds* During the Special Counsel Interview.

At times during the interview, according to the transcript, the president made noises like a car.

“By the way, you know how it works?” Biden asked Hur. “It’s really cool.”

Hur remarked, “Sir, I’d love — I would love, love to hear much more about this, but I do have a few more questions to get through.”

“You step your foot on the accelerator all the way down until it gets about six, seven grand,” Biden continued. “Then all the sudden it will say ‘launch.’ All you do is take your foot off the brake.”

The transcript then indicates “(Makes car sound)” as well as “(Laughter).”

Hur responded that it was something on his “bucket list” and once again steered the conversation back to classified documents.

Reading all of this you can see exactly how Special Counsel Hur came to the conclusion that a jury would likely see Biden as an amiable old man with a poor memory. No doubt Biden’s testimony on the stand would have been just as random and aimless at times. Perhaps he’d have told a jury how to launch a car, complete with engine noises. No one would have believed the old guy was up to no good despite the evidence showing Biden knew he had classified documents in his house and read portions of them to his ghost writer.

If the transcripts were supposed to help Biden, I think they only did so because the media is willing to find “nuance” where the evidence of a poor memory and a wandering mind is abundantly clear.

In between making car sounds, as Andrew Kerr and Joseph Simonson  of the Washington Free Beacon note, “Throughout the five hours of interviews on Oct. 8 and 9, Biden struggled to recall relevant details about his handling of classified records or when he served as vice president. The transcript also confirms Biden could not recall when his son, Beau, died, and further shows that the president raised that subject unprompted—contradicting the president’s claim during a Feb. 8 press conference that Hur raised the subject.”

* Presumably, despite being handed comedy gold, this week’s Saturday Night Live will attack Special Counsel Robert Hur instead. Because of course, the show has a long history of pulling punches when it comes to elderly presidents reported to be in their dotage…

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Things Just Got a Lot Worse for Joe Biden.

Last month, the Hur report found that Joe Biden willfully retained, mishandled, and disclosed classified information but determined that he was essentially too senile to stand trial. According to the report, Biden struggled to remember details, and he couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.

Joe Biden angrily defended his memory in his unplanned address and attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Beau during his interview during the investigation, which managed to make things worse for him.

“There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died,” Biden said. “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

Except that Hur didn’t bring it up. Biden did.

We’re in the Schrodinger’s Presidency phase of the Biden administration:

There are two choices this morning as Hur testifies.

1) Biden's memory is so bad he wasn't charged w/ illegally keeping classified info as a private citizen
2) Biden's memory is fine & he should be charged for willfully keeping of classified info as a private citizen

THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE: Middlebury Students Tried To Host a Vigil for Victims of Oct. 7 Attack. Administrators Told Them To Remove the Word ‘Jewish.’

It was October 10, three days after Hamas had murdered 1,200 Israelis and abducted hundreds more, and Jewish students at Middlebury College were trying to organize a vigil for the victims. They reached out to Middlebury’s dean of students, Derek Doucet, with a draft poster promoting the event, which they invited administrators at the elite liberal arts school to attend.

“Stand in Solidarity With the Jewish People,” the poster read. “This will be an opportunity to honor the innocent lives lost in the tragic events that have struck Israel in the past days.”

It didn’t go over well.

In an email to students reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Doucet, who has oversight of student activities, pushed to rename the vigil and strip it of references to Judaism so as to make it “as inclusive as possible.”

“Some suggestions that might help are stating that this gathering is to honor ‘all the innocent lives lost,’” Doucet wrote, and including a reference to the “tragedies that have struck Israel and Gaza.” He added that calls for solidarity with Jews could trigger “unhelpful reactions.”

“I recognize and deeply respect that there has to be a place for purely Jewish grief and sorrow,” Doucet said, “and yet I wonder if … such a public gathering in such a charged moment might be more inclusive with edits such as these.”
