‘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.

Republicans ratfucking due process and democracy is expected. Don’t feel bad for Biden, he can take it. He’s a player and a good one at that. Feel bad for Americans who aren’t smart enough to recognise ratfucking when it happens.

Pritzker's got future presidential candidate all over him, imo. Barring the collapse of the country and all that.

He should've primaried Biden. I've written it so much but if it came down to him vs Trump he'd win instantly. He is the only non-controversial Democrat that can replace Biden.

Nooooo. He's been the best governor we've had here in my lifetime. I want him around a bit longer lol.

You have to be joking, right??? I mean no one can actually believe Pritzker has been a great gov. And would make a good president. Have you listened to a news confrence where he has to answer questions? Were you paying attention during the pandemic. He ended cash bail freeing all but the most violent of criminals almost immediately after arrest and in the same year made almost all the tools for law abiding citizens to defend themselves illegal to purchase in the state. Business is fleeing Chicago, Caterpillar moved it's headquarters to Texas. But yeah he's doing a bang up job.

As long as he’s pissing off you Bush-loving, Cheney-loving neocons, he’s got my vote.
