Biden Lashes Out at Press, Suffers Memory Lapse While Denying Senility

U.S. President Joe Biden held a surprise press conference Thursday night to respond to allegations contained in a Special Counsel memorandum that the Commander-in-Chief is senile.

President Biden, who has recently claimed to have conversed with two long-dead European leaders, denied Robert K. Hur’s assessment that Biden is forgetful elderly man who struggles to remember significant dates, like when he became Vice President.

According to Hur, Biden’s mental incapacity, and his presentation as a genial old man, was the primary reason the Special Counsel avoided bringing charges against him for mishandling classified information.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Eiden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur said.

“Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt,” he said. “It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

In the report, Hur said Biden improperly brought classified information to his home in Delware, where it was stored in boxes in his garage.

Thursday evening, Biden blamed that lapse on unnamed staffers, but he did not respond directly to Hur’s claim that he provided the ghostwriter of his autobiography with classified information.

In his televised address, Biden attributed his memory trouble during the 2023 Special Counsel interviews to having to sit for the interview in the days following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.

However, according to Hur, Biden also suffered severe memory lapses as early as 2017, during audio recorded interview sessions with the ghost writer.

Thursday night, Biden spoke briefly and answered a few questions for about nine minutes, appeared to exit the briefing room, then returned to answer questions about Israel’s military response to the Palestinian terrorist attacks.

Biden said Israel’s response to the terrorist attacks, which left more than 1,200 Israelis dead, was “over the top.”

The 46th president also mistakenly claimed that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sísí was the President of Mexico.

President Biden’s glaring mental deficiencies caused U.S. media commentators to wonder about the wisdom of bringing him out for what is, for Biden, a late-night press availability.

Several suggested that Biden’s staffers and long-time Democratic operatives in Washington, D.C. are preparing to ditch Biden ahead of the 2024 presidential election and that the press conference was an attempt to build a narrative that allows him to step down citing medical problems.

    Breaking News: Biden is senile. He should’ve never been elected in the first place despite his current mental deficiencies. He and the puppeteers pulling the strings are Marxist revolutionaries who are traitors to the U.S. who deserve to be in prison.

    Wonder if the FBI found any nuclear codes or if they went through Dr Jill’s underwear drawer when they found his unsecurered documents? Voting for this guy is like voting for a dried booger on the wall. He NEVER won the election.

    So the special prosecutor said shouldn’t be charged because of senility. Joe says not true. Ok great then charge him based on his own assessment that he knew fully what he was doing was against the law and did it anyway. That’s a special kind of stupid.

    The ice is finally thawing, down on the Democrat rink and the demise is liberating, to say the least. This hack in the Oval Office is really showing his true colors…yup, Humpty Dumpty and all the fake king’s men and women..handlers, owners, players, puppeteers throughout the Nation, and the dishonest Dems, here in Maine… WON’T BE ABLE TO FIX THE TAKE DOWN, TREASONOUS CABAL AGAIN! Even the New York Times is highlighting Biden’s obvious cracked thin shell. Nice job, as usual, Maine Wire!

    When I read Hur’s report the other night the first thing I thought was that if he is NOT mentally capable of being put on trial then he surely is NOT capable of being POTUS. It is going to be fun watching our democrat friends try to swim in this pot of boo.

    Part of me thinks this is part of the plan to dump him before election 2024. Kamala would be a good choice as she would have no ability to do anything other than take orders from Biden’s puppet masters. The only thing she was ever any good at was using her only asset on Willie Brown to advance her career. Typical democrat politician, always for sale to the highest bidder.

    He was mad and that a sure sign he is week in the head. But living with the speaker of Senet who’s friends have big land interest in Mane land can do that, which is some thing all independents know.

    Biden is a lifelong nasty, corrupt, perverse, vulgar liar. Now he has dementia, which he denies. Charge him.
