    "He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ('if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ('in 2009, am I still Vice President?')," the report said.

    Biden also had difficulty remembering the timing of his son Beau's death, as well as a debate about Afghanistan.

    "He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died," the report said.

    It's just a stutter

      Yeesh. And it's not as if he hated his son and never mentioned him. Beau's service and his death is huge Biden talking point.

          "I remember the day my son Beau died just like it was yesterday. I remember it all. It was 9/11 because the tickertape parade for the Apollo astronauts had ended and I had just hung up the phone after talking to FDR on the teley-phone about the Cuban Missile crisis..."

    Best president since FDR and he's doing it with one lobe tied behind his back, too!

          If I had an unbanned r/politics reddit account - I could look forward to that sub's redditors getting that account banned too. They'd attack me like angry hornets because I had the chutzpah to point out that Biden already had a "significantly limited" memory seven years ago in 20-fucking-17.

    Right-wing media will just love this...

    Photos of Biden's classified docs in Hur report: "Among the places Mr. Biden's lawyers found classified documents in the garage was a damaged, opened box containing numerous hanging folders, file folders, and binders. The box...was in a mangled state,"

      Literally the only thing they have to do is not let the senile old puppet leave boxes of documents lying around exactly like Trump and they couldn't get their shit together to do even that much

      Why do those photos look like they were taken on a camera from the 70s? FBI budget must be shit these days

        This looks like a poorly lit area, so they're using a camera flash or another point source near the camera to take these photos.

        Flash photography has largely become a thing of the past because cameras have gotten so much better in low-light. This is because the reason old photos look so shitty is mostly due to the proximity of the light source to the lens.

          If he wasn't a powerful ghoul it would almost be endearing. Like, it looks exactly like my shitty garage. But I don't have shitloads of money and the fucking nuclear codes

        "Who keeps their classified docs in a stinky, smelly garage that's probably filled with garbage? Low class Joe Biden - that's who."

    They already are so out of plausible propaganda that they literally go for the Nicholas II defense route "No, he wasn't bloody tyrant, he was just incompetent and somewhat stupid, but his kids* liked him"

    *His wife and kids prefer to hang with Rasputin

    I'm glad that the world's greatest democracy isn't governed by a puppet, that'd be embarrassing
