The transcript shows a much more nuanced conversation between Biden and Hur, with Biden knowing the exact date his son died but then kind of checking himself Sara’s it 2015 that he died. Very NORMAL.

I really can’t stand Jim Jordan and his pals. Blech.

Well, they've been tone-deaf since Eisenhower left office in 1961....

I'm now about 1/3 of the way into reading the transcript of Biden's interview with Hur. There is nothing, NOTHING, that suggests his memory is failing him. Hur took certain statements completely out of context. That's all. Biden describes his home's layout so well that Hur even comments that his ability to do so is "photographic." That's a senile old man? C'mon.

Thank you for the good news, Mary. You know, I’m not known for being the most optimistic guy around, but, I just have to believe that if we keep hammering away at the many, many crimes, lies, misstatements, idiotic rants, and brainless musings of the Orange Menace, we’ll bring at least some of his cultists to their senses. Well, a person can dream, can’t he?

Swalwell's video must become part of a campaign ad. Must!

Jim Jordan still tried to push his false charges. Not one single piece of legislation has he produced in his term in Congress. House of Representatives? Who do they represent?

It has been reported that boxes of documents were moved from Florida to New Jersey. Perhaps the FBI has more searching to do?

The American people still suffer in some ways. Donald changed the tax structure in 2017 to put the tax burden on those making $75,000 or less annually. The corporate and rich person tax rate is at its lowest ever. The tax breaks since Reagan have companies and individuals swimming in money. They naturally are willing to spend some money to keep this up

General Mills made giant profits allowing them to do stock buybacks and raises for executives. They raised the price of a box of Cheerios by 20%, and blamed inflation. They need to pay their fair share of taxes and be threatened with regulations and price controls if they continue to jack up consumers.

Congressional republicans continue to twist themselves into the worst possible position to disprove their point. It feels great to be on the right side of history!!! Thanks always for keeping us motivated and for your work to keep him impotent in his quest to burn our country to the ground.

What do we know that the Pubbies and the corporate media does not? Dump is losing it. It's becoming more obvious by the day. And soon it will become so severe that even Fox won't be able to hide it. What else do we know? Last Thursday Dark Brandon burned the MAGA Republicans to the ground and blew up the ashes. Katie Britt made everything even worse for them. And in today's hearings Democrats brought receipts and made Jordan and his cronies look like the losers that they are by turning the Pubbies' indictment of Biden into an expose of Trump criminality and dementia.

If Donald gave any of the republicans on the Judiciary, Ways and means, or the Oversight committees a big steaming bowl of shit and told them it was chocolate ice cream, told them to eat it up, they would all comply, and say thank you sir. My we have more? The state of the Republican party is the same as what's in that bowl, less the steam. Vote blue up and down the ballot, your next breath depends on it.

Thank you for a great bedtime story, Mary. I know it’s early for some people but my body clock prefers this schedule. I’ll be awake and saving democracy around 4 a.m. Fabulous result of an unnecessary hearing.

Jordan is so hyped up and thinks he can baffle with his bullshit by talking stupidly fast, but always ALWAYS ends up tripping over his own little dick.

The "Fascist Freedom Caucus" stumbled all over themselves again today in another clown show that revealed just how incompetent they are at desperately trying to come up with something to get at the Democrats and Pres. Biden. They, along with their criminal, treasonous leader have reached a real low point in our nations political history. It was simply pathetic! Nov. 5th 2024 can't get here quickly enough so we can save our Democracy!

Mary, your uncle appears to be in full blown dementia, as assessed by people who undertand it.

I hope the Dems jump on the opportunity to display it everywhere, all the time.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this day, which began with Republicans attempting to put the word "senile" in Robert Hur's mouth. As partisan as he is, Hur would not cooperate. Then several Dems described the amazing number of malapropisms and fake facts that Trump has spewed in the past few weeks. "Gym" Jordon could only put his crazy little head in his arms. Hur looked uneasy and embarrassed, which was appropriate. He is likely hoping for a cabinet level appointment from Trump who will he insist that he won. My fond hope is this all happens from the inside of a Federal prison cell. My perfect day is ending with Biden winning the Georgia primary and assurance that he will be the Democratic nominee. Athens, Georgia is where I live, and we are all celebrating tonight. The Orange Menace will have to wait until Washington state returns are in before he can claim his place on the ballot. Once again Biden wins the day!

How anyone could vote for a meglomaniac like Donald Trump boggles my mind. He is unfit for office, and he would destroy our country.
