@POTUS : "There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died."
"How in the hell dare he raise that?"
"Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damned business."
Letter from Sauber and Bauer to Hur: "We do not believe that the report's treatment of President Biden's memory is accurate or appropriate. The report uses highly prejudicial language to describe a commonplace occurrence among witnesses: a lack of recall of years-old events."
"
Such comments have no place in a Department of Justice report, particularly one that in the first paragraph announces that no criminal charges are 'warranted' and that 'the evidence does not establish Mr. Biden's guilt.'"
Andrew Bates: "In fact there is ample evidence from your interview that the President did well in answering your questions about years-old events over the course of five hours. This is especially true under the circumstances, which you do not mention in your report..."
Hur did his version of Comey's "I have no case but need to slap 'em around a little" routine

A waste of time, effort, and money. All based on, nothing.
Except a desire by the MAGAverse for revenge. As the cultists continue to kiss the ass of the orange hued human orangutan.
When "the donald" dies he'll be remembered as the narcissist and complete failure as a human being that he has always been.
And little else.
The democrat department of justice made up this report to help trump, you can't really believe that can you. How can one president be charged with keeping confidential information and another not. They did make the case that if joey b was charged he would be incompetent to stand trial. That statement should make every one feel great about our current leader. Maybe this will force the DNC to make a change to someone who is competent or they may just give the seat to trumpe.
LOL! DoJ says that Biden's too senile to be a traitor... but Trump is...
THERE you have it. Joe Biden, Deep State figurehead and President in name only.
In the long run it's a victory for President Biden since if Trump is the nominee it pretty well insures a Biden victory this November. Let the magats drink a toast of Bud Light to the Supremes this weekend.
skudrunner "How can one president be charged with keeping confidential information and another not..."
HERE'S HOW, AND IT'S NOT DIFFICULT IF YOU READ: Trump LIED to the feds about having the top secret docs, then he waited a year to give them back to the feds after being asked to do so, AND THEN HE LIED ABOUT GIVING THEM ALL BACK.
Joe Biden DID NOT DO ANY OF THAT. Biden reported having the docs IMMEDIATELY TO THE FEDS AND THEN HE FULLY COOPERATED AND DIDN'T LIE TO THE FEDS. Now do you understand?
Good.
PS. Hur made the diagnosis about Biden's state of mind with absolutely ZERO medical expertise or background.
When dozens and dozens and dozens of psychiatrist said Trump was not mentally stable to be POTUS, the Republican Party IGNORED THEM and kissed his arse again and again.
Remember that? No. I didn't think you and the others jumping all over Hur's non-medical assessment, WHICH PROVES NOTHING.
Please, this provided the perfect segway into the Moochelle in 2024 Campaign. The stalking horse "retirement" is nearly complete.
Moochelle will reluctantly agree to run now, "for the good of the nation." BWAH!
Well I guess you do believe it. Joey b said the documents were safe but forgot to add as long as you believe my garage is secure. He did say they were stored right next to his corvette which I guess is proof enough as to their security.
Both lied and one gets punished and you call that fair. Just because joey b has been declared senile does not mean he is not responsible for his acts.
Those countless experts you quote said trump was not stable enough to be president but they didn't say he was senile like the DOJ. I will agree that this comment by the DOJ was not appropriate just because it was factual.
skudrunner
Look, skud, you are deliberately obtuse on this issue, and I don't know why.
Biden didn't lie, Trump did. Trump did not turn over the top secret docs when asked by the feds, Biden did.
Hur is not a licensed geriatric physician, never mind one who knows anything about geriatric cognition OR SENILITY. What he wrote in his report was gratuitous and UNETHICAL.
PS. Next time you need a diagnosis on your cognition, call a lawyer and ask him his opinion.
Tell me you didn't watch the ProPublica interview without saying you didn't watch it, amirite skud?
Shaw, in my mind I see skud sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting La La la as loudly as they can to avoid hearing inconvenient facts.
I am so mad a Hur, he misrepresented so many items in his report and without lying he certainly danced around the issue enough that the negative spaces remaining spelled liar.
Also, skud claims that Biden lied but doesn't identify the specific lie they are fussing about. They've yet to produce one shred of evidence for their claims. At this point if they are making a claim I just ignore it because they have no credibility.
Speaking of credibility, President Biden has been able to stick to the topic, his eyes are clear, he's able to joke, follow along with the interviewer, and even crack a few jokes. Look, the guy is a gaffe machine and he's been that way since he was in the Senate. Some people are like that, myself included.
Ha! In the interview Biden just said he's not the only Democrat that can protect Democracy, but he's the only one who is in the best position to ensure the large orange manbaby gets nowhere close to the presidency again. Fact.
I think skud needs Biden to be feeble but too bad so sad. Biden speaks softly with focus and clarity which contradicts the image skud holds in their brain. Biden has policy. The former orange manbaby has rage and hatred. Not even sure why skud is indecisive about who is best for the country.
In 2018, Trump finally agreed to written questions from Mueller about events leading up to the 2016 election. Trump was allowed to fill out the questionnaire at his leisure with help from his lawyers. He was asked about things that happened no more than 3 years earlier and answered more than 30 times, "I don't Recall". Biden sat for 5 hours being deposed in person and had trouble recollecting events from up to 40 years earlier.
"I don't recall" over 30 times on a effing take home test.
In a single speech last night, Trump has:
• confused Friday with Saturday
• said that Pennsylvania will cease to exist because "they" will change the name
• said he charged China hundreds of millions in dino-dollars
• claimed he saw someone shoplift a refrigerator

You Trumper insurrectionists are fever-dreaming about Michelle Obama again. She absolutely drives you nuts! But we'll be able to laugh at you, JoeCon, -FJ, Thersites, again when you're shown to be completely off your Trumpy rockers.
Y'all have been wrong on everything else!
Grey One talks sass, skudrunner has written many times here that he is not a Trump supporter, but he has to keep up his reputation of trashing former President Obama ("the swell guy") and President Joe Biden ("joey").
Both men are faithful, loyal husbands, who've never shagged porn stars and then had to shut them up with NDAs and payoffs. Both men were never indicted for criminal acts. Both men never called our military men and women who served their country, "losers and suckers." And President Obama allowed the peaceful and dignified transition of power in 2017 to continue as an American tradition.
But for some reason, only skud knows, he dislikes both the men who represented and represents America with dignity and honor -- two words that will NEVER describe Donald Trump.
Joe Conservative said...
"LOL! DoJ says that Biden's too senile to be a traitor... but Trump is..."
Yes. Many Americans see Trump as a disgraced traitor to America.
Joe Biden senile? No medical assessment has EVER been given to him to conclude that. But some hack counselor, appointed by Trump did? LOL!
This is for skudrunner, Joe Conservative, -FJ, Thersites
Trump misstated all of the following during his speech in Harrisburg, Pa:
1) Trump falsely said he won the Virgin Islands caucus “100%.”
2) Trump falsely said he won PA twice.
3) Trump falsely said Biden wants an open border.
4) Trump falsely said terrorists were taken into this country by the millions.
5) Trump falsely said we had the safest borders under his presidency.
6) Trump falsely said Biden will confiscate guns and take away the right to self-defense.
7) Trump falsely said no one died in Afghanistan during his presidency.
8) Trump falsely claims “nothing happens” to people who commit assault or murder.
9) Trump falsely said he worked with the FBI and said that Biden made recovering the documents very difficult.
10) Trump falsely claimed he was “covered by the Presidential Records Act” when he destroyed documents.
11) Trump falsely says Catholics are being persecuted.
12) Trump falsely said electric cars don’t work in cold weather.
13) Trump falsely said “We never had a country that was doing so well as it was during the Trump four years,” but he left office with fewer jobs than he entered.
14) Trump falsely claimed he got Mexico to send 28,000 soldiers to the border.
15) Trump falsely said Mexico took 32% of our car industry.
16) Trump falsely said everyone coming to the country is a man between 18 and 25.
17) Trump falsely says there were no terror attacks during his administration.
18) Trump falsely said Biden tried to ram through an “open border bill.”
19) Trump falsely said if the bill was passed unions would be out of business.
20) Trump falsely said Democrats cheat in elections.
21) Trump falsely said Democrats cheated in the 2020 election.
22) Trump falsely said President Biden can close the border and the bill is a hoax.
23) Trump falsely said we don’t have free speech.
24) Trump falsely said we don’t have a free and fair press.
25) Trump falsely said he did better in PA in 2020 than 2016.
26) Trump falsely said they’ll change the name of PA if he’s not elected.
27) Trump falsely said we’re a failing nation and a nation in decline.
28) Falsely said Biden is going to empower America’s enemies, unleash misery throughout your state and throughout our country, bedlam and chaos at home and abroad.
If you look at the bigger picture, and perhaps even issue, is the prosecutor had to cover his ass by saying something derogatory about President Biden for the sole purpose of keeping himself safe from maga attacks and threats. He has this in common with nearly all republicans in Congress. Not that that's honorable company.
^^Proof DJT lives in Democrats heads^^
Ms. Shaw and Grey, The document that hur presented did not say joey b did not commit a crime crime by keeping confidential documents but if he went to trial he wouldn't be found guilty because he is a nice old guy with a bad memory. You are spot on Ms. Shaw, joey did turn over the documents from his garage 40 years later. Guess he didn't see them when he backed in his corvette.
Post at 1028 is all about the evil one which this is not about. That is all the democrats and joey b have to say is trump would be worse because they have no plan for the country and it's people except give away noney to buy votes. It is about a PRESIDENT talking to and meeting with dead people, not being able to name a terrorist group, calling a president of a neighboring country by the wrong name, forgetting how to get off stage and mumbling through a written speech. If you don't see that as mental decline then you need to better educate yourself.
I have said for quite some time that WE CAN DO BETTER. Unfortunately the political parties don't really care about the People. All they care about is the Power and it seems there are a lot of people who will carry their water and not demand better. Have you looked at the No Labels party as an alternative to either of the two incompetents running. You think trump has this huge incompetent base of voters when the facts point to it being on 18% of voters are die hard. Bidens hard core base is even smaller at 14%. Now is the time to take the Country Forward by supporting the No Labels Party.
^^Proof DJT lives in Democrats heads^^
That's becuz hes like excrement he's everywhre!

"As television host and former Republican representative from Florida Joe Scarborough put it: “He couldn’t indict Biden legally so he tried to indict Biden politically.”
Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their teams came out swinging against what amounted to a partisan hit job by a Republican special counsel. The president’s lawyers noted that it is not Department of Justice practice and protocol to criticize someone who is not going to be charged, and tore apart Hur’s nine references to Biden’s memory in contrast to his willingness to “accept…other witnesses’ memory loss as completely understandable given the passage of time.”
Special Counsel Robert Hur’s use of taxpayer funds to take partisan jabs at President Biden violates DoJ policy against reputationally harming uncharged witnesses. It may also violate the Hatch Act’s prohibition on civil servants campaigning. The Inspector General should investigate Hur."
skud Please answer this question: If, as you claim, "The document that hur presented did not say joey b did not commit a crime..." WHERE'S THE INDICTMENT IF BIDEN COMMITTED A CRIME?
WHERE?
Here is the finding in the report:
"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report said, but added that the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Also, your snark about returning the files: Biden DID NOT LIE ABOUT HAVING THEM AND HE TURNED THEM OVER IMMEDIATELY WHEN ASKED FOR THEM. PERIOD.
TRUMP DID NOT DO THAT, HENCE, THE CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS.
You should be more careful when reading the report. There was no indictment because the special counsel found that Biden could not be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
REASONABLE! DOUBT!
Get it?
Also, it is telling that you deliberately missed this very important part, because you keep harping on the Trump/Biden handling of documents:
"The report from Hur — who previously appointed by former President Donald Trump as one of the country's top federal prosecutors — also made clear the "material distinctions" between a theoretical case against Biden and the pending case against Trump for his handling of classified documents, noting the "serious aggravating facts" in Trump's case."
Try to digest and understand what those words mean. Thanks.
So your contention is the Democrat controlled DOJ did a hatchet job on the Democrat president. That is truly an interesting concept because the AG had to approve this report and in case you are not aware, he is a life long Democrat who has an ax to grind against the republicans because they denied him a job. Now we have all the spinmasters working overtime to cover this and joey b going after republicans on how he wants to control the border and they won't allow it. Politics provide so much entertainment and it is available everywhere. The problem is our incompetent politicians cost the TAXPAYER 50% of their income to keep these idiots in their job.
We Can Do Better think No Labels Party
Reading a report should begin without holding any preconceived judgement(s) on the issue at hand. For if one has already rendered a judgement the reading will simply be an exercise aimed at solidifying ones already reified beliefs.
I suspect that is a typical skud, -fj, joe con, therisites, foreigner, et all activity. As well as that of millions of other individuals. Both conservative and liberal or progressive.
You answered your own question by quoting “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” It doesn't say he was innocent but not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
His storing confidential documents is not the issue where his diminished capacity is and this report sheds additional light on it. "The report also said the president's document practices "present serious risks to national security," and that Biden presented himself "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
skud "You answered your own question by quoting “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” It doesn't say he was innocent but not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."
No. It means THERE IS A DOUBT(S) ABOUT HIS GUILT. PERIOD. Also, the report absolutely does NOT say definitively that he is guilty. Period.
SKUD: "His storing confidential documents is not the issue where his diminished capacity is and this report sheds additional light on it."
No. The storing of the confidential docs IS THE ISSUE. Robert Hur is NOT a physician and hisOPINION of President Biden's cognition is nothing more than a layman's guess. And that is a fact.
Robert Hur was appointed as special counsel by Donald Trump. And Hur's only job was to find the facts and decide guilt or innocence.
The finding was NOT Guilty. Period. Everything else is beside the point, ESPECIALLY his unprofessional opinions about Biden's cognition. That was a partisan hack's opinion. It would be the same as taking a garage mechanic's opinion on YOUR cognition. We'd laugh in his or her face. And that's how we think of Hur's stupid and unprofessional assessment on President Biden's mental capacity.
End of discussion.
skud "So your contention is the Democrat controlled DOJ did a hatchet job on the Democrat president."
Are you so uninformed that you don't know that Robert Hur was appointed by Trump and that AG Garland kept him on the case so as not to make it partisan? Maybe you are. Also, AG Garland sent out the report in its entirety so as not to make it look partisan by not presenting Hur's unprofessional opinion on Biden's cognition, y'know, the way Barr falsely presented the Mueller Report to make Trump look innocent. Garland did not do that because he's not beholden to President Biden.
PS. Your "No Labels Party" is a sham:
"The New Republic reported in 2023 that No Labels has received major funding from Harlan Crow, a leading donor to Republican and conservative causes. No Labels has been described as a dark money organization."
You remember who Harlan Crow is, don't you? He's the multi-billionaire who bought Justice Clarence Thomas to do his bidding, and now is buying a political party. LOL!
This kerfuffle is nothing, repeat nothing, but a cynical political ploy by conservatives and the rancid gop and to deflect from their own incompetence and that of their cult leader Trump.
Republicans and the MAGAverse have no shame.
Yes, Robert Hur is a Republican, so we can easily understand why he would inappropriately and unprofessionally inject his bias and unqualified opinion into the report.
And yes, this is yet another example of REPUBLICAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
So Skud is regurgitating his radical Right propaganda, saying Dems "have no plan for the country and it's people except give away noney to buy votes."
This bullshit is putrid and deliberate ignorance. He IGNORES everything Biden has done to help the country from infrastructure to negotiating pharmaceutical prices. He was even willing to sign a REPUBLICAN border bill! But Trump ordered his cult to shut it down. How's that for dealing with a "crisis and invasion"? Do nothing for year so Dear Leader can save the day.
Why do they serve Trump's narcissistic dictatorial demands more than our country? They do it out of COWARDICE, greed, and lust for power to inflict suffering on those they HATE.
Skud has no shame, of course, and will NOT concede when he is totally WRONG. Like Trump.
Skud advertises his IGNORANCE further with, "the AG had to approve this report and in case you are not aware, he is a life long Democrat who has an ax to grind against the republicans because they denied him a job."
McConnell denied him solely because the hated Black President nominated him.
And "In case you are not aware", Skud couldn't BE more WRONG.
Garland has been a member of the far Right Federalist Society, along with Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett.
More "life-long Democrats", Skud?
The fact that there are so many millions of Americans even more IGNORANT, MISINFORMED, and HATEFUL than Skud is truly terrifying and depressing. This is how the republic will die and fascists take over.
Come on, Skud. Show us a modicum of effort to expand your intellect and curiosity, if nothing else.
Life is for learning, isn't it?
So very well said, and fully truthful Dave D. Quite unlike the drivel and BS posted by skud and the stable of rightwing sockpuppets who post here.
Leslie and dube, Election interference, good shot, untrue but good shot. If you read the report you would find it accused biden of shoddy handling of classified documents and points to gaps in bidens memory during interview. He actually read sensitive notes about Afghanistan to his ghost writer. You may consider a locked garage an appropriate place to store classified documents but few do.
Garland identifies as an independent who has received every level of his profession by democrat politician appointments but in you mind he is not a democrat. Granted on paper he is not but in practice he is. He was not denied the SCOTUS position because barry was black but because it is a lifetime position and republicans didn't want another leftist on the court. tell me the dems wouldn't have done the same thing.
You have let you hatred of trump totally cloud your judgement but you are part of the 14% yellow dogs so that is understandable. The problem we all face is neither party has put forth a candidate who is acceptable to the majority of voters. If one does they will win hands down and cruella is less acceptable than biden so they need to think outside the traditional picks. That won't happen because the both party want a win and the American voter doesn't matter. It will be interesting if biden can win from his basement.
As usual skuddy dummy you're of no interest to me. You're a bot for ignorance and delusion.
Skud keeps doubling down on his DENIAL OF FACTS.
Hur crossed the line by including his unprofessional and unqualified assessment on Biden's mental state. His job was to state FACTS, not his personal OPINION.
Inserting his unqualified opinion WAS partisan election interference.
McConnell didn't deny a hearing on Garland's SC appointment because he was a "leftist". No leftist would have shut down Washington DC residents' appeal to have voting representatives in Congress.
I acknowledge Garland isn't as radical Right as the Federalist plants in the Supreme Court, but he is not a leftist.
Let's call him moderate. Now WHY would McConnell DENY a moderate? Because Republicans want only their fellow radical Right partisans as justices. Period.
McConnell DENIED President Obama's DUTY to appoint a justice because Republicans HATED OBAMA. Hell, yes, most of them are RACISTS. Trump used his racist birther LIES to unite every racist to support him.
McConnell boasted about stopping Garland's nomination, saying in August 2016, "One of my proudest moments was when I looked Barack Obama in the eye and I said, 'Mr. President, you will not fill the Supreme Court vacancy'."
It didn't matter if Garland was a socialist, moderate, or Republican. It was to undermine the BLACK President's legacy.
Of course Skud will minimize any accusations that Trump and his cult are racists.
And hell, yes, I hate racists. I was never enthusiastic about Biden, but the choice is clear. Trump is a fascist and aspiring dictator. Biden isn't. 'Nuff said.
skud "Garland identifies as an independent who has received every level of his profession by democrat politician appointments but in you mind he is not a democrat."
Garland has indentified himself as an Independent. A Democratic POTUS nominated him for the SCOTUS, and a political hack, Moscow Mitch, denied President Obama his nomination because McConnel is an s.o.b. President Biden nominated Garland for AG, and he was approved by the Senate. But in your prejudiced mind that makes him a Democrat? Just because two men who are not raging partisans recognized him as a worthy nominee?
skud: "Granted on paper he is not but in practice he is."
You offer NOTHING to back this up, so, again, your opinion is just that: an opinion not backed by facts or examples, so we'll all ignore it.
He was not denied the SCOTUS position because barry was black but because it is a lifetime position and republicans didn't want another leftist on the court. tell me the dems wouldn't have done the same thing.
Agains, you cannot deliver any facts to back up your claim that Merrick Garland is a "leftist." And you claim this after you state he's an "independent." Which is it? Or does it depend on what mood you're in? Because there is no consistency in your claims.
And no evidence either.
So, your comment is just an opinion and not fact.
Ms. Shaw, You are correct it is my opinion based on events but not facts. He works for biden so he has to do what biden wants done. This is in contrast to the AG is independent which has proven for several administrations not to be the case. Look at Barr as an example who was very political and so is garland. Doing a leftist bidding makes him a leftist.
I was quoting dube when he stated he was denied because obama was black, whatever that means. I am a registered independent but am a fanatical fiscal conservative. I really don't care what people do in the private lives as long as they don't do it with tax dollars. I assume by me saying that it makes ma a trumper which is not true but until dube gets better quality weed and leslie finds enlightenment I will remain a trumper in their and yours.
When yer in a hole skud the best practice is to stop digging. Unless you prefet darkness to light.
I accepted you're belief you're not a Trumper skud. Glad ya won't be voting for the orange hued human orangutan. But you're fanatical conservatism is, in any real analysis comparing the the results of conservative fiscal policies against liberal fiscal policies reveals that liberal fiscal policies grow the economy and improves the lives of the middle class and downward far more than conservative fiscal policies of austerity combined with tax cuts fir corporations and billionaires.
But we know you'll remain firm in your reified beliefs based on your ego driven obscurations. Vut that fine. At least you're not a trumper and your fiscal dreams are going to eventually crash and burn to ashes. Can't happen soon enough!
Have a good evening now, ya hear.
To set skudrunner. And anyone else straight on Special Counsel Hur’s report:
"But several material distinctions between Mr. Trump's case and Mr. Biden's are clear. Unlike the evidence involving Mr. Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of Mr. Trump, if proven, would present serious aggravating facts.
Most notably, after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, Mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite. According to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for many months, but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it.
In contrast, Mr. Biden turned in classified documents to the National Archives and the Department of Justice, consented to the search of multiple locations, including his homes, sat for a voluntary interview, and in other ways cooperated with the investigation."
The American people must hear about these radical differences between the two cases. This is not Apples to Apples comparing Trump and Biden due to cooperation and criminal intent and obstruction, which clearly, in Trump's case, led to the charges he now faces. Share this post to reach more people.”

Leslie, My fiscal dreams are doing fine but with inflation almost 18% over the last three years a lot of people are not. Now bidenomics is kicking in and another 3+% inflation increase. Somehow conservative economic policies serve the majority not just the rich and the poor. Under conservative policies people were not forced to work multiple jobs to eat and housing was an American dream that could come true. Difficult now especially for young families trying to buy their first house. Glad you stick up to your ideals no matter the cost to others. Is that part of enlightenment?
There he goes again. Skud mindlessly blames Biden for post-covid GLOBAL INNFLATION and SUPPLY CHAIN backups, while corporate GREED has sucked up record profits.
He LIES about "conservative policies", of course.
Here are some job FACTS he either won't look at, or just dismiss as "lies":

Skuds is simply channeling Ronald Reagan who was famous for never allowing the truth to stand in the way of a good lie. There's a good boy Skudsy.
Dube, I go back to you need a higher quality of weed because now you attacked obama which is just not allowed. Besides being anti women you are a racist as well because we all are aware that if you say anything against obama you are a racist.
Just suck it up and admit biden is not fit for the job. He has advisors who know nothing about what they are advising him on, mayor pete on transportation when he couldn't get a pot hole filled in his small town, granholm who is an attorney with no energy experience. All of his appointees check a certain box without having any experience in the field they are advising on.
Lesson for you, inflation is cumulative because what goes up generally stays up so the 3.1% is actually 18% over three years. As smart as you are I'm surprised you didn't know that.
Hey, Skud.
Just suck it up and admit how many of Trump's cronies are indicted and convicted criminals he had to PARDON. Since you seem to have an affinity for white nationalists, swindlers, fascists, and insurrectionists, all you can harp about is "no experience" in Biden's advisors while IGNORING the inexperience, criminality and incompetence of Trump and his stooges.
In typical fashion old Skudsy resorts to a false attack about hating women or accusations of racism when he's cornered with facts. But I do echo his call for better weed. Glad he got something right for a change.
Skudrunner has been commenting here for many years
He's NOT a Trumper, and he's NOT a racist.
We don't agree on much, but he's never been rude, called me names.
I hold no animosity toward him. We argue, I think he's wrong about a lot of things, but he's welcome to post here.
I don't want this blog to be an echo chamber, like the Mother Ship.
Shaw,
I'm not saying Skud is a racist or a fascist, despite his authoritarian tendencies and radical Right regurgitation.
It should be easy for Skud to condemn white Christian nationalism and racism.
Has he ever done so?
Until he does, I have every reason to suspect his accusation against me is projection:
"Besides being anti women you are a racist as well because we all are aware that if you say anything against obama you are a racist."
He wouldn't even capitalize the Black President's name...
