As Twitchy reported earlier, Democrats seem to be rallying against Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on President Joe Biden's willful retention of classified documents. Hur's not a neurologist, they say. Robert Hur is a lawyer, not a doctor, said Judd Legum. MSNBC's Molly Jong-Fast said that Hur is not a good-faith actor," adding, "He’s not a neurologist, right?"
I've said it before: Biden got off easy — he should be tried for retaining classified documents as far back as when he was a senator, but instead Hur implied a jury would only find Biden to be a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. But maybe it's worse for him that someone has said out loud what all of us are thinking. This isn't the first time Biden's age has come up: There was an effort last year to tamp down fears that Biden wasn't all there mentally. His wife said 30-year-olds couldn't keep up with his schedule (which is empty through Thursday). I think it was The Daily Beast that published a piece called, "Biden is old. Get used to it."
I remember the New York Times getting into huge trouble with subscribers when it published a piece on what an 81-year-old's brain is like. Now the Times is getting back with the program, finding a neuroscientist to weigh in and say we're not seeing what we're seeing.

The hallmark of truth is utter simplicity.

The hallmark of untruth is unnecessary complication.
Looking forward to the "dementia is good" narrative

He is more belligerent. He overrules his staff. His policy in Ukraine is incomprehensible. His policy in Israel is incomprehensible. He was never that great at foreign policy to begin with. He constantly talks about his dead son. None of this is a good thing.

He'd suck as president even if he were all there.
It's not good. Hur noted that Biden couldn't remember within years when his son died. This wouldn't be that big a deal if Biden didn't continually bring up that his son died in Iraq. Has he told that lie so many times he now believes it?

Oh good another "expert" here to tell everyone not to believe what could not be more obvious

The problem is us, not Biden.
