‘I smell a rat,’ says Dem Gov. Pritzker of special counsel report on Biden
politico.com

Democratic governors lashed out Friday against a report from special counsel Robert Hur, which cleared the president of wrongdoing on his handling of classified information but took digs at his age and memory.

“I smell a rat,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a surrogate for President Joe Biden’s reelection, told reporters when asked about the Hur report.

I legitimately feel bad for Biden. My dumbass MAGA mom called me and said Biden is finished, he can’t remember anything. She was citing the report. I was like, okay so all this shit with missing documents happened around the time his son was slowly dying of brain cancer. How much would you remember if that happened to your kid? Bunch of fucking ghouls who have no sympathy.

Not to mention how completely hypocritical it is of people to say Biden is too old and his brain is suffering from aging when the same is true of Trump. And probably much more so, based on the way Trump speaks and writes.

And probably much more so, based on the way Trump speaks and writes.

Absolutely. Trump doesn't even know who Nancy Pelosi is anymore. This is a woman he's openly despised for years, he's not just "forgetting" minor details.

Is there a point at which you should be able to recognize that you are unfit to do a job and resign? I wouldn't expect Trump to ever do that, but I thought democrats were running and the basis that they are that competent. If you can not do your duty because of external affairs, it is your duty to step down and fill the role with someone who can. This is expected of me, but not of our commander in chief? This isn't partisan, this is simple acknowledgment of the oath that is sworn to uphold.

He's one of the most effective president's we've had. He doesn't need to prove it, he's showing it.

I'd assume since you're not partisan you'd see that.

He's old, yeah. He's doing a great job. I hope he keeps doing it.

He’s been the greatest President in my lifetime and I’m so sick of us having to constantly push back against the ongoing denial.
