(6,927 posts)They might be doing the Biden campaign a favor, though, by now portraying Biden as energetic.
And if the name is meant to imply drug use, it may boomerang on them. I don't think they really wanna go there when their candidate and party leader is an obvious and well-known drug abuser. Bigly. But if they really wanna have that discussion, then bring it.

(32,318 posts)when he testifies tomorrow before Congressional Magats. Look for Hur to claim that he decided not to indict President Biden for retaining classified documents because of the forgetfulness of an old man. Don't jump on me for posting what Hur is going to do. Merrick Garland is just fine with everything Hur wrote in his report, no redactions needed, nothing was political.
Did I mention that President Biden's lawyers are furious at Garland/Hur?
Magats need to control the narrative because they have no legislative accomplishments to run on. They need to go back to the narrative that Biden is old. It's coming, tomorrow, special counsel Hur will absolutely bash President Biden tomorrow and Garland gave his blessing.

(60,320 posts)If he had redacted it, then it would soon come out and it would be ten times the scandal it is now. Ten times longer in the news.
It would have been a very political move to redact Hur's politically-intended slam against Biden. It would have been the only thing redacted, hence glaringly obvious. And it would not stay hidden for long. Within days Jordan would be asking Hur to testify to it and he would happily have told Jordan publicly.
The way it is now, it is all on tRumpublicons and all the ire is targetted where it deserves to go: on Hur.

(32,318 posts)but do 2 wrongs make a right? It was wrong for Hur to politicize his report. period.
How do you think the MSM is going to portray Hur's testimony tomorrow? Hur is going to continue politicizing his report in front of a national audience, so what was gained by Garland not redacting Hur's politicization? When Hur testifies tomorrow he will have Garland's stamp of approval.
Did I mention that President Biden's White House attorneys are furious that Garland did not redact the political parts of the Hur report?
Bernardo de La Paz
(60,320 posts)Redaction is sometimes a necessary wrong, a lesser wrong, as an imperfect response to an imperfect world. Redacting Hur's extraneous comments would have been more wrong than leaving them and would have boomeranged badly.
As to media coverage of Hur testimony? They will focus mainly on the RepubliCONs remarks and give short shrift to Democrats, because the sane voice of reason is not as profitable as amping up irrational controversy.
You asked twice and the answer is Yes, You Did Mention.

(32,318 posts)that I feel was totally unwarranted. Hur accused President Biden of retaining classified documents because of forgetfulness, because of old age, IMO that is a lie and it should have been redacted. When is it OK for misinformation of any sort to be given a stamp of approval?
Did President Biden retain classified documents because of old age? I disagree with Hur's assumption. Maybe it was Biden's aides who packed up the documents? Hur saying that the reason he didn't prosecute President Biden was because of Biden's old age is wrong, is bullshit, is a lie and Garland should have redacted that lie.

(8,844 posts)our guys..Raskin/Moskowitz/Goldman/Crockett/Swalwell/Garcia/Neguse/Connelly/Lieu have made fools out of Jordan/Comer ethically compromised witnesses...and they do it with scalpel-like precision..
as to going back to the Biden is old narrative...the SOTU settled that issue with yes he may be old but he sees a future of prosperity and inclusion, whereas his predecessor has embraced Hitler and Third Reich
gab13by13
(32,318 posts)but I guarantee you that the MSM is going to run with Hur's testimony. The MSM will not focus on the Democratic members of that committee. We will get to hear the Democratic members' rebuttals on Deadline White House or Stephanie Miller or Thom Hartmann.
I hope to heck you are right.

(8,844 posts)in 2022 when the old guard leadership made way for Hakeem Jeffries and the Dem caucus, he said he wasn't in the business of making nice...our guys are smart, politically astute, pragmatic, and knoiw the "enemy"...Jordan/Greene/Gaetz, Comer/Gosar...
if the hearings are behind closed doors, Goldman/Moskowitz are in front of a mic within minutes of the hearing's end..and the podcasts like Meidas Touch, Brian Tylers Cohen (No Lie) have the video soon after that...

(8,747 posts)The SOTU speech changed all the parameters. Hur will be on the defensive under questioning from the democrats who will point out the obvious: That the president is in full possession of his faculties as evidenced by the SOTU speech. I predict Hur will try to backtrack and say he did not really mean that Biden was forgetful, etc.
Now of course, the republicans will try to do the opposite but given how incompetent they are, I think they will fail again.

(8,844 posts)they took control of the House...they don't know how...they did, however, promise never-ending revenge and retribution...they promised their adjudicated rapist messiah they would make Trump's two impeachments go away and if that wasn't constitutionally possible, they would impeach Joe Biden...but they encountered a very big problem...our new leadership...Hakeem Jeffries and the Dem caucus did not come to play nice..they came to expose MAGA trash...and that, I suspect, is Robert Hur's fate...

An NFT is a digital asset that can come in the form of art, music, in-game items, videos, and more. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency, and they are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptos.
Although theyve been around since 2014, NFTs are gaining notoriety now because they are becoming an increasingly popular way to buy and sell digital artwork. The market for NFTs was worth a staggering $41 billion in 2021 alone, an amount that is approaching the total value of the entire global fine art market.
NFTs are also generally one of a kind, or at least one of a very limited run, and have unique identifying codes. Essentially, NFTs create digital scarcity, says Arry Yu, chair of the Washington Technology Industry Association Cascadia Blockchain Council and managing director of Yellow Umbrella Ventures.

The above samples seem to be used as a form of money laundering, exchanging something with no value for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Since many can be purchased with crypto currencies, tracking the source is nearly impossible.

(179,822 posts)In 2016, Donald Trump accused his Democratic rival of being on performance-enhancing drugs. In 2020, he did it again. In 2024, he's doing it yet again.
Link to tweet

Four years later, he did it again. In September 2020, the then-president whined incessantly about his suspicion that Joe Biden was also on drugs. Asked at a White House press briefing whether this line of attack was an attempt at humor, the Republican replied, No, Im not joking.......
That was nearly four years ago. Keeping the pattern going, the former president is apparently at it again. New York magazines Jon Chait noted what Trump was up to online during the State of the Union address:
The former president began posting manically on social media that his adversary, who he has previously labeled sleepy and also the mastermind of a plot to control the Ukrainian justice system for the benefit of his son, was on some kind of drug combination.
Around 10 p.m. eastern, Trump used his social media platform to declare, in reference to the man who defeated him in 2020, THE DRUGS ARE WEARING OFF!......
GOP officials made the strange mistake of lowering expectations for Biden ahead of his national address. To hear the presidents partisan detractors tell it, the president was a frail and addled old man whod struggle to stay awake and speak in complete sentences. What the public saw instead was a successful president delivering a fierce speech about his record, his vision, and his differences with his immediate predecessor.
In fact, Biden was so good that Trump and his cohorts want the public to believe the incumbent president mustve been on something, as if there were no other possible explanations for his strong performance.
Everything TFG says is either a confession or projection. TFG is on a number of drugs such as Adderall and so TFG assumes that President Biden is on drugs
