Since he is a supporter of Trump and doing this for Trump it is obvious.

He is practicing medicine without a license.
He is representing himself as a Psychologist, when he's not.
Soooo ... if he can do that, maybe I can charge Hur with legal malfeasance. Or juridical malpractice.
Maybe I can bring charges against him even though I'm not an Attorney.

When did he become an expert on grief?????

To this day I remember very little of my spouse's funeral. It was 4 hours that are a blank in my mind. Even the ride to the cemetery is gone.

So forgetting an anniversary date of a death is sometimes a kindness.

He is practicing as a neurologist or geriatric specialist. Those are the doctors that usually diagnose and treat age related memory loss.

Everything she said is true and I'm glad she responded. We cannot let these cretins destroy good people and bring our country down. I would say he should be ashamed of himself, but I highly doubt he has any sense of shame or he wouldn't have done what he did. Same goes for Garland who allowed this to be in the record.

This couple in our White House is a breath of fresh air after four nightmarish years of hatefulness, criminality and tearing apart our institutions of government.

"our son". Lovely.



"I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack -- not just as Joe's wife, but as Beau's mother. I don't know what this Special Counsel was trying to achieve.

We should give everyone grace, and I can't imagine someone would try
to use our son's death to score political points.

If you've experienced a loss like that, you know that you don't measure it in years -- you measure it in grief.
May 30th is a day forever etched on our hearts. It shattered me, it shattered our family. So many of you know that feeling after you lose a loved one, where you feel like you can't get off the floor.

What helped me, and what
helped Joe, was to find purpose. That's what keeps Joe going, serving you and the country we love.

Joe is 81, that's true, but he's 81 doing more in an hour than most people do in a day. Joe has wisdom, empathy, and vision. He has delivered on so many of his promises as President precisely because he's learned a lot
in those 81 years. His age, with his
experience and expertise, is an incredible asset and he proves it every day"

Got a feeling it might be time to start picketing all the networks who are not being fair and balanced in
their reporting. If they want to cram Тяцмp down our throats, then they're no better than the Fascist
shit bag they want back in the White House hoping for more tax breaks or other favors.

Why in the hell would the big networks take one person's biased opinion (Hur) as truth and want to
make sure everybody knew that one person's opinion. Hey MSM, I got an opinion also!

As Trump has always managed to hide his actual health condition.

We have no idea what stimulant medications he is taking to get him through his day. I'm sure Adderall was on the recently published list of drugs dispensed to Trump.


Adderall is a prescription medication that contains two drugs: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It belongs to a class of medications called stimulants. It’s most commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It’s also used to treat narcolepsy.

Adderall is considered a first-choice treatment option for ADHD. Studies of Adderall and Adderall XR show that the drugs improve attention and focus, and reduce impulsive behaviors. Between 75 percent and 80 percentTrusted Source of children with ADHD will see improved symptoms with the use of stimulants such as Adderall.

Adderall is also effective for increasing daytime wakefulness in people with narcolepsy, although there is little related research available.

My theory is they made up something that never happened, then asked him about it and when he said he didn't remember that happening, they screamed "He can't remember anything!!"

Remember what year either of them died, I remember lots of other things but not years.

Special council Hur is a despicable traitor to this country. As long as we keep treating them as if they are normal people as long as the media ignores what they do they are going to keep doing it and things are going to just keep getting worse.

Jill can't criticize Merrick Garland but I can. Hur's report was confidential, that is a fact. It was up to Merrick Garland how he released it.

Garland made a promise that he would not be partisan yet he chose to release a political hack job against President Biden.
Garland had every reason to redact the partisan parts of the report, it was his promise, yet he did not.
