So, Trumpy Cult, care to explain this for us?

RAMIN SETOODEH: "Joan said she was a republican. Did you know that?"

TRUMP: "I thought she might have been a republican. I know one thing: she voted for me according to what she said."

Joan Rivers died on September 4, 2014.

Best explanation: dementia.

Next best explanation: still dementia.

Yep. Dementia. I wonder if that gets him out of those trials, or if he just doesn't have to testify. I saw a blurb that he blasted Fox for showing a poll where he trailed Biden. Didn't stop to verify.

It is certainly possible if Robert Hur can decline prosecuting Biden because he was an “Elderly Man with a Poor Memory”

There is a difference between memory loss and dementia.

Memory loss is a natural occurrence with aging that varies greatly among individuals. You occasionally have difficulty finding words. You may be worried about it, but your family and friends are not.

Dementia is not a natural occurrence and, thankfully rare. You confuse relatives (like an ex-wife) with other people (like someone you raped). Your family and friends are worried about it, but you’re not.

Well, but since Hur was nominated by the convicted felon rapist to be the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland, he's hardly a neutral observer.

Here's what German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said about president Biden's mental acuity: “I think that Joe Biden is someone who is very clear, who knows exactly what he is doing and who is one of the most experienced politicians in the world, especially when it comes to international politics.”

Here's what the convicted felon rapist's own chief of staff said about Trump: “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.”

But hey, a cult's a cult and you're deep in the cult to the bitter end.

--------------------

Biden's reputation, going back as far as his senate days, is that he is reliably wrong about every foreign policy position he takes. Then there is Obama's reported summary assessment of Biden along the lines of "Never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** something up."

Now, now...if you are in the cult and believe that Trump is the second coming of Christ, then you can believe that Joan Rivers could somehow have voted for him from beyond the grave and then appeared to Trump and told him about voting for him. MAGA is a weird world.

Mostly though his followers just don't care what he says. Blind devotion.

This is tough for FOX. They want to at least occasionally report facts but they also, above all else, want to avoid alienating the right wingers who enrich them.

Huh. And here I thought it was only Democrats who had dead people voting.

IANAL, but Trump could possibly end all of his legal woes if he submitted to an assessment, and then allowed his lawyers to plead diminished capacity. The assessment would be necessary as proof of said diminished capacity, which I'm pretty sure would be found (I already posted about seeing dementia first-hand).

Though I'm not sure how much diminished capacity would be required. He isn't as far gone as my mother was before she died, but he's definitely on the path (IMO). Is it enough to be judged incompetent to stand trial? Could his lawyers use that (against his will) to protect him from himself?

No, I think if you look back you'll find that Hur stated that when Biden noted seeing classified documents the one time he wasn't VP or in an office where he was entitled to see classified documents, that the jurors would view it as a forgettable event, and that he made an innocent mistake and didn't act willfully. Biden had no intent to break the law.

Whereas, with Trump, we can see him deliberately causing classified documents to be moved and hidden from inspecting authorities sent to retrieve classified documents, misleading authorities, intent on keeping classified documents in violation of subpoenas, etc. Total disrespect for the law. Trump's actions show his criminal intent.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

You betcha. So it's notable whenever it happens. :)
