MSNBC's "Morning Joe" reacts very negatively to special counsel Robert Hur's report declining to prosecute President Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents.

"It certainly seems like a politically charged document," Scarborough said. "It used to be, pre-James Comey, you would either indict somebody or not indict somebody. But now in the political sphere... He didn't have any evidence."

Scarborough blasts Hur's decision to comment on President Biden's mental state, calling him a "neurologist from Trump University."

"So many people immediately heard thee random, irrelevant conclusions, politically-charged Trump-like ramblings. I wonder, why in the world he would put that in the report, his neurological assessment of Joe Biden? And secondly, why Merrick Garland would release garbage like that at the Justice Department," Scarborough said. "Because it sure sounds like James Comey in 2016 who couldn't indict Hillary Clinton legally so he decided to hold a press conference and indict her politically."

"I'm a simple country lawyer and I know... the headline from this report should be Not Indicted," Scarborough roared. "Do you think this guy is so stupid and clueless that he didn't know by putting words in Donald Trump would love for him to put in there, it wasn't going to be the headline? So why in the world would the Justice Department allow that to be in there? It's gratuitous and bad faith."

Every so often there is a piece of legislation on Capitol Hill that defines America and its values — that shows what kind of country we want to be. I would argue that when it comes to the $118.3 billion bipartisan compromise bill in the Senate to repair our broken immigration system and supply vital aid to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel, its passage or failure won’t define just America but also the world that we’re going to inhabit.

If Russia conquers Ukraine, it won't be the last country for Russia to conquer. Why stop with only one country? Russia has Poland to conquer since Russia owned Poland once upon a time. Russia owned half of Germany. Why not repossess both East and West Germany? Two halves are better than none! Russia has ambitions. And Russia's protege, North Korea, will conquer South Korea since Russia showed their little buddy how it is done. Russia's partner, China, will conquer Taiwan because who is going to stop China? Not the USA!

A politically astute judge would allow the worst candidates to run and reveal who they are to discerning voters. It is already happening for both candidates:

Classified Document Investigation Outcome

Per the report Biden isn’t going to be charged and is a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’’ and that “mistakes when packing documents” are “unfortunately a common occurrence.”

---

Quote:

---

Special Counsel Robert Hurr’s report concluded that President Joe Biden should not be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents because he is an “elderly man with a poor memory.” A confident and competent Biden could have laughed off an outlying report, not even bothering to acknowledge its existence.

But the problem for Biden and his hopes of reelection is that Hurr’s conclusions are not anomalous. The president has a well-established record of embarrassing and disturbing mental lapses.

There was a time when he couldn’t remember the name of his own secretary of defense, just weeks after moving into the office.

And a time he made up getting arrested at a civil rights protest, a mistake White House aides were forced to correct afterward.

And a time he made up going to the Tree of Life synagogue after a shooting, which, again, White House aides were forced to correct.

And a time Biden repeatedly called for Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski to join him at the podium for a nutrition event — eight weeks after she had died in a car crash.

---

Quote:

---

Mr. Biden’s performance at his news conference on Thursday night was intended to assure the public that his memory is fine and argue that Mr. Hur was out of line; instead, the president raised more questions about his cognitive sharpness and temperament, as he delivered emotional and snappish retorts in a moment when people were looking for steady, even and capable responses to fair questions about his fitness.

---

Quote:

---

Inside the White House and among Biden’s reelection campaign staff, the tension is constant. Top aides have set the strategy that the president need not play the Washington news cycle game of constant appearances that risk embarrassing flubs, while others complain that this unfortunately reinforces the image put forward by his political opponents that he is barely bumbling through his days.

Biden is constantly caught coming off “stilted,” and looking “like a caricature,” complained one sympathetic former West Wing aide, who asked not to be named to speak bluntly about the situation.

“Some of the folks around him create this weird bubble because they’re trying to be protective, but they’ve got him so anxious he makes mistakes,” the former aide said.

---

Quote:

---

The clear evidence of mishandling classified documents is embarrassing enough. But there’s something even more damning to President Joe Biden in special counsel Robert Hur’s new report released Thursday.

It’s this: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden 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.”

Ouch. It sounds like how you might refer to your grandpa at the nursing home.

For Biden’s already tenuous standing in the polls, this will not be helpful in convincing an already doubtful public that the 81-year-old is still up to the task of president – let alone for four more years.

---

Quote:

---

The White House knew it had a huge political problem on its hands.

After hours of Republican claims that the report showed he wasn’t capable of serving as president, Biden appeared at a hastily scheduled news conference Thursday evening, apparently seeking to turn the page on what turned into a disastrous day.

“I know what the hell I am doing,” Biden fumed in the Diplomatic Room of the White House, as he defended his faculties and bristled with anger. Biden also pointed out that Hur’s report drew distinctions between his handling of classified material and Donald Trump’s allegedly criminal and obstructive conduct on the same issue over which the ex-president faces a future criminal trial.

Biden appeared fired up and passionate. But at the same time, his angry demeanor and an event which appeared to quickly spin out of his control, with reporters shouting questions as he struggled to interrupt, may have ended up exacerbating the very questions about his age that it was meant to dispel.

---

Quote:

---

Benjamin Hart: Obviously, the age and memory aspect of this special counsel report is not good news for anyone who wants to see Joe Biden re-elected. But beyond the initial freakout, and nine months from the actual election, how damaging do you think this is?

Jonathan Chait: I think the damage question has two components. The first is, how much will this report directly affect Biden’s polling? And second, how much should it increase concern about Biden’s ability to campaign between now and Election Day?

On the first, I think this will sting. There are damaging quotes in the report that Trump can use in ads. People have seen Biden perform and he looks old, so it’s not a shock, but it’s certainly harmful. On the second, I think it helps explain Biden’s limited media availability. He does interviews, but not very often. I think aides are probably concerned about him gaffing in ways that compound the age concerns (above his lifelong habit of gaffing in other ways). I wanted Biden to step aside last fall. It’s too late now, but the downsides haven’t gone away and seem worse.

That's the thing about the "news"...

I'm usually right about what's actually going on in the moment, but it takes the Media about 6 months to 4 years to catch up to actual reality, depending on where we are in the current election cycle.

Trump also has a problem with his mouth (and his penis) and that has gotten him into legal trouble for decades. It has cost Trump hundreds of millions of dollars to smooth over his troubles. I would think normal people could correctly judge who is the bigger screwed-up candidate, but I noticed that people who are seriously screwed up (that includes blacks and Latinos who have problems with their mouths and penises and cheating on their taxes) think Trump is not particularly incompetent nor malignant.

Bad things happen because people are assholes. But people, at least the more delusional ones, don't seem to understand they have been assholes and they are getting what they deserve. With stupid assholes like you and Trump, you break rules all the time but the consequences aren't instantaneous, so you are unable to make the connection between your being an asshole and your eventual misfortunes. Trump has been a cheating lying thief all his life, but he has not been punished for what he is. He is aghast that his life is now in disarray because he has forgotten how he got to this point. Many other delusional people who are suffering misfortune have also forgotten how they got to their endpoint. They wouldn't have if the time delay between their actions and their suffering was shortened to seconds, but when minutes to years pass between the two, they can't understand why the world is so mean to them.

Trumptards think you are Noah's family, the Lord's favorite people, while Democrats will be wiped from the face of the earth: The Lord regretted that he had made human beings [Democrats] on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord [Trump] said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created — and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground — for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Trumptards are not favored in the eyes of the Lord. The story of Trump and Trumptard family triumphing in America like Noah triumphed in the movie Noah won't be happening. Noah didn't exist and Democrats do and will continue. More likely is that Trumptards will drown in a sea of their bad daily decisions about how to prosper in America.

Kagan wasn’t buying Murray’s wishcasting though, and neither was Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Jackson echoed all of Kagan’s concerns, but added one other: that the president is not an “officer” as defined by the 14th Amendment. I was, frankly, shocked when Jackson started to push this point. The “not an officer” argument is ridiculous. It’s an idea that the Colorado trial court latched onto (the trial court found Trump to be an insurrectionist, but kept him on the ballot; the Colorado State Supreme Court overruled that and barred Trump from seeking office) to avoid kicking Trump off the ballot, and something that conservatives have since bandied about as a potential way out for the court. Jackson has already established herself as the most “textualist” justice on the liberal side of the bench, the one most eager to go toe-to-toe with Neil Gorsuch into the trenches of the Oxford English Dictionary and the original meaning of the Magna Carta. But she generally avoids playing pedantic word games as if the entire Constitution were a New York Times crossword puzzle waiting to be solved. Unlike Gorsuch, she never misses the forest for the trees.

But she did yesterday.

I’ve said repeatedly that there is no way in hell the Supreme Court would allow the likely Republican nominee to be stricken from the ballot.

I’ve said repeatedly that the only way to be rid of him is to defeat him at the ballot box, again, and beat back his forces who will try to steal the election, again.

Trumptards I know think they are excellent at evaluating character. They are not. They look in the mirror and see someone very different than their actual selves. Self-delusion is what they see, which explains why they struggle, suffer, and fail to prosper in America. Too bad that President Trump won't be able to fix the self-delusion defect in his precious little Trumptards.
