I don't really care about the stupid "classified documents stuff", I just think that it is funny that POTUS will not be charged because he is too cognitively impaired.

"He did not remember when he was vice president" is also funny. My son died and I was the Democratic VP was Biden's main pitch to the Dem primary electorate lmao.

I really can't come up with a better analogy for the decline of amerikkka than this election, only way it could get better is if there are debates

[-] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 84 points 9 months ago

The corpse of Biden has decomposed even more and ol' Don doesn't have what he had 8 years ago. Any debate will turn into a race of whose amphetamines runs out faster.

I think Trump is still sassy and sharp enough that he would smash Biden into a wall, mock his “stuttering” and dementia and generally just make him look pathetic

Octogenarian who has reached the stage of life where memory loss is truly a credible criminal defense vs septuagenarian who is one of the dumbest people on planet earth

One of them will be in charge of arguably the most militarized country to ever exist

The best part is their leadership is virtually indistinguishable and their policies are identical so it doesn’t really matter who wins, yet everyone puts on an act that this is the most important election of our lifetimes

The death machine is on autopilot and sitting in the driver seat is a formality and symbol more than anything real. The political vultures will still squabble over the seat because their careers depend on taking bribes for warming it

[-] Hotspur@lemmy.ml 41 points 9 months ago

Like we’ve been totally normalized to it—the frog in water thing. But by any objective standard, the US is a sick, sick country if this is the only outcome possible for an election. We must look so bizarre to other countries.

Voting for Biden's second term solely because it's the funniest possible outcome

[-] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 86 points 9 months ago

Since I got less skin the game (don’t live in the US), the funniest outcome for me would be trump being convicted, elected, and then pardoning himself.

I feel like the liberal population would implode

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 65 points 9 months ago

I'm holding out hope that he gets convicted in some state (Georgia, probably) and then can't pardon himself so he has to serve out his term from a jail cell. that would be the absolute funniest outcome and so on brand for the US.

On the one hand he probably has dementia, on the other hand I can relate to everything before 2020 being a big timeless blob. Beau died in the before time, when exactly? Who can say

[-] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 73 points 9 months ago

Can someone explain how they justify a cognitively impaired person willfully discloses and withholds anything? Mayve they phrase the former such that the conclusion doesn't seem like a contradiction, but I can't be bothered to check that.

Also, Biden didn't really have a pitch in 2020. No liberal democratic election is legitimate but the 2020 election was beyond farcical. They propped up a corpse of a man, won the primary by what can only be described as complete collusion with media appararuses, then the general by the sitting moron make literally the worst decision at every turn during a pandemic.

[-] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 53 points 9 months ago

He did have a pitch, but his pitch was like "oh my son is dead, that is why we shouldn't have universal healthcare". Yes, basically he just needed to exist in order to be the Dem machine guy, but still. He did have a pitch.

Bit idea: call out the "biden or bust" freaks for rampant elder abuse and that Joe should be able to "retire with dignity"

man if these material conditions are not yet sufficient, we aint never getting no glorious people's revolution

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 59 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

the magic part is the unremitting system of extreme violence keeping the labor price of the global south as low as possible. material conditions are "good enough" pretty much for that reason alone. the other reason is the number and quality of guns and cameras pointed inwards.

"Biden released classified documents."

Libs: "gasp"

"But it's because he has dementia."

Libs: "oh thank god"

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 37 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Despite abundant differences between the cases, Trump immediately seized on the special counsel report to portray himself as a victim of a “two-tiered system of justice.”

Let’s see what the differences are

Yet even as Hur found evidence that Biden willfully held onto and shared with a ghostwriter highly classified information, the special counsel devoted much of his report to explaining why he did not believe the evidence met the standard for criminal charges, including a high probability that the Justice Department would not be able to prove Biden’s intent beyond a reasonable doubt, citing among other things an advanced age that they said made him forgetful and the possibility of “innocent explanations” for the records that they could not refute.

“I did not share classified information,” Biden insisted. “I did not share it with my ghostwriter.” He added he wasn’t aware how the boxes containing classified documents ended up in his garage.

The investigation into Biden is separate from special counsel Jack Smith’s inquiry into the handling of classified documents by Trump after Trump left the White House. Smith’s team has charged Trump with illegally retaining top secret records at his Mar-a-Lago home and then obstructing government efforts to get them back. Trump has said he did nothing wrong.

Hur, in his report, said there were “several material distinctions” between the Trump and Biden cases, noting that Trump refused to return classified documents to the government and allegedly obstructed the investigation, while Biden willfully handed them over.

So they already know he shared highly classified info with a ghostwriter lol. But it’s very different because he handed the material over.

Yet, prosecutors say, he kept notebooks containing classified information in unlocked drawers at home.

Biden kept classified documents in a garage and unlocked drawers. Trump kept them in his bathroom. Truly the most intelligent and capable candidates to lead this country
