Lookit liar lie.

So... he just came across those top secret files and documents and said to himself, hey... since I didn't 
know I had them, this would make for a great story in a book.

Then proceed to divulge that secret information to a fucking ghostwriter.

Inadvertent.

Boy, you really suck at this. 

Oh... yeah... I forget... you read minds. You knew EXACTLY what Biden was thinking when he took secret files 
and documents home. Did you know he was going to commit espionage and tell his ghostwriter secret shit?

> What matters is if there was "mens rea".

And of course, you knew EXACTLY what Biden was thinking, because you ARE a mind-reader, like when you met 
those Russian sports officials, you knew, right then and there, you'd know what EVERY Russian official was 
thinking.

Somehow, I think we can even use the link to your grandfather, to get into the mind of one Joseph Biden, 
because you know... your grandfather was in government, and Biden was in gover... 

LOL 

What a fucking tool.

What was Biden thinking when he told his ghost writer top secret information?

Biden "WILLFULLY" Disclosed Classified Materials

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden "willfully" retained and disclosed highly classified materials WHEN HE 
WAS A PRIVATE CITIZEN, INCLUDING DOCUMENTS ABOUT MILITARY AND FOREIGN POLICY IN AFGHANISTAN AND OTHER 
SENSITIVE NATIONAL SECURITY MATTERS, according to a Justice Department report that nonetheless says no 
criminal charges are warranted for him or anyone else.

Trump never did that.

The report from special counsel Robert Hur, released Thursday, represents a harshly critical assessment of 
Biden's handling of sensitive government materials.

The findings will likely blunt his ability to forcefully condemn Donald Trump, Biden's likely opponent in 
November's presidential election, over a criminal indictment charging the former president with illegally 
hoarding classified records at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified 
materials after his vice presidency WHEN HE WAS A PRIVATE CITIZEN," Hur wrote.

It came after a yearlong investigation into the improper retention of classified documents by Biden, from his 
time as a senator and as vice president, that were found at his Delaware home, as well as at a private office 
that he used in between his service in the Obama administration and becoming president.

The investigation into Biden is separate from special counsel Jack Smith's inquiry into the handling of 
classified documents by Trump after Trump left the White House.

Part of the report centers on Biden's handling of classified documents about Afghanistan - specifically, the 
Obama administration's decision to send additional troops there - that he retained after he left office as 
vice president in his Delaware home. Biden preserved materials documenting his opposition to the troop surge, 
including a 2009 classified handwritten memo to then-President Barack Obama.

"These materials WERE PROOF of the stand Mr. Biden took in what he regarded as among the most important 
decisions of his vice presidency," the report said.

The documents HAVE CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information Level and 
were found in a box in Biden's Delaware garage...

IN HIS GARAGE - Were they in a safe?

Nope.

... 'that contained other materials of great significance to him and that he appears to have personally used 
and accessed."

Photographs included in the report showed some of the CLASSIFIED AFGHANISTAN DOCUMENTS STORED IN A WORN 
CARDBOARD BOX STORED IN HIS GARAGE, apparently in a loose collection with other household items, including a 
ladder and a wicker basket.

CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION were also found in Biden's basement den, according to the 
report. Classified documents from his time in the Senate in the 1970s and 1980s were also found in his 
garage.

The report said there was some evidence to suggest that Biden knew HE COULD NOT KEEP CLASSIFIED HANDWRITTEN 
NOTES AT HOME AFTER LEAVING OFFICE, citing his deep familiarity "with the measures taken to safeguard 
classified information and the need for those measures to prevent harm to national security." Yet his kept 
NOTEBOOKS CONTAINING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION in UNLOCKED DRAWERS at home.

"He had strong motivations to do so and to ignore the rules for properly handing the classified information 
in his notebooks," the report said. "HE CONSULTED THE NOTEBOOKS LIBERALLY DURING HOURS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH 
HIS GHOSTWRITER and viewed them as highly private and valued possessions with which he was unwilling to 
part."

That's espionage.

While the report removes legal jeopardy for the president, it is nonetheless is an embarrassment for Biden, 
who placed competency and experience at the core of his rationale to voters to send him to the Oval Office.

"MR. BIDEN WAS KNOWN TO REMOVE AND KEEP CLASSIFIED MATERIAL FROM HIS BRIEFING BOOKS FOR FUTURE USE, AND HIS 
STAFF STRUGGLED - AND SOMETIMES FAILED - TO RETRIEVE THOSE MATERIALS," THE REPORT STATES. "AND THERE WAS NO 
PROCEDURE AT ALL FOR TRACKING SOME OF THE CLASSIFIED MATERIAL MR. BIDEN RECEIVED OUTSIDE OF HIS BRIEFING 
BOOKS."

In declining to prosecute Biden, Hur's office also cited what it said was Biden's "LIMITED MEMORY" both 
during his 2017 recorded conversations with the ghostwriter and in an interview with investigators last year.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Given MR. BIDEN'S LIMITED PRECISION AND RECALL during his interviews with his ghostwriter and with our 
office, jurors may hesitate to place too much evidentiary weight on a single eight-word utterance to his 
ghostwriter about finding classified documents in Virginia, in the absence of other, more direct evidence."

The ole "I can't recall" defense.

Turns out, they were 100% correct and justified in their description of Biden, but that didn't stop the liars 
in the Democrat party coming out and lying. Why did they replace Biden, because he couldn't think and 
speak... and stuck us with a stupid woman, no better than he?

I thought Kamala said he was "extraordinarily strong" in the moments following the disastrous debate in June 
that led him to abandon his bid for re-election a month later?

White House on Biden Mental Acuity After Debate Flop: "He's As Sharp As Ever" - Rollingstone

"... as a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor were gratuitous, inaccurate and 
inappropriate," Harris began.

LOL

"The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, 
intensely probing and detail-oriented and focused," Mayorkas told "Meet the Press."

"And I'm telling you, this guy is tough. He's smart. He's on his game," Landrieu said.

"Kamala Harris Rips Special Counsel Report on Biden's Mental Capacity, Suggests Oct. 7 Attack Prompted 
Perez's Bumbling Deposition"

LOL

"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during 
our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," investigators wrote.

There is recent Justice Department precedence for criminal charges against individuals accused of sharing 
classified information with biographers or ghostwriters; Gen. David Petraeus pleaded guilty to doing exactly 
that in 2015 and was sentenced to probation.

Yet in this instance, prosecutors say, Biden could have plausibly believed that the notebooks were his 
personal property and belonged to him, even if they contained classified information.

In an interview with prosecutors, the report said, Biden was emphatic with investigators that the notebooks 
were "my property" and that "every president before me has done the exact same thing."

White House lawyers and Biden's personal attorney were given the opportunity to review and comment on the 
report. Biden chose not to assert executive privilege over any portion of the report, White House counsel's 
office spokesman Ian Sams said.

Attorney General Merrick Garland in January 2023 named Hur, a former U.S. attorney for Maryland, to handle 
the politically sensitive Justice Department inquiry in an attempt to avoid conflicts of interest. It is one 
of three recent Justice Department investigations into the handling of classified documents by politically 
prominent figures.

Canada:

'Worst In The World': Here Are All The Rankings In Which Canada Is Now Last

Most Unaffordable Housing, Highest Cell phone Bills And Worst Rate of Acute Care Beds, To Name A Few

If you spend any time on social media, it's likely that you've seen this 
graphic compiled by columnist Stephen Lautens that assembles 11 international 
indices which feature Canada near the top spot. "Canada is broken? I don't 
think so. Neither does the world," reads a caption.

Next time someone rants on how about how "broken" Canada is; or how badly we 
are doing on the international stage... share some facts.

Numbers don't lie, Felicia.

https://archive.is/o/LnFRL/https://twitter.com/DIGuideBradley/status/1554545079314010112

Naturally, it only tells a partial picture. While Canada may dominate abstract 
indices such as "quality of life" and "peace," there are plenty of far more 
empirical indicators in which we measurably rank as among the worst in the 
developed world.

There's plenty to like about Canada, but below is a not-at-all comprehensive 
list of all the ways in which we are indeed very broken.

WE HAVE THE MOST UNAFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE OECD

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is essentially a 
club of the world's 38 most developed countries. And when these 38 are ranked 
against each other for housing unaffordability, Canada emerges as the clear 
champion. OECD analysts rank affordability by comparing average home prices to 
average incomes, and according to their latest quarterly rankings Canada was 
No. 1 for salaries that were most out of whack with the cost of a home.

Housing by price to income ratio for the second quarter of 2022. That's Canada 
on the extreme right.

WE HAVE THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE WIRELESS COSTS

Every year, the Finnish telecom analyst Rewheel ranks the world's most 
expensive countries for wireless services. And last year, Canada once again 
dominated. Across several metrics, Canada was found to be the most expensive 
place in the world for mobile data. Analysts found that it would cost the 
average Canadian the equivalent of at least 100 Euros to obtain a cell phone 
plan with at least 100 gigabytes of mobile data. Across much of the EU, that 
kind of cell phone plan could be had for less than 40 Euros.

Canadian telecoms charge more than 10 times as much for 100 gigabytes of mobile 
data as companies in France or Ireland.

WE HAVE THE LOWEST RATE OF ACUTE CARE BEDS AMONG PEER COUNTRIES

Canada's health system was particularly walloped by COVID-19 due to the simple 
fact that most of our hospitals are at the breaking point even in good times. 
Multiple times during the pandemic, provinces were forced into shutdown by 
rates of COVID that had barely been noticed in better-prepared countries. A 
ranking by the Canadian Institute for Health Information provides one clue as 
to why. When ranked against peer countries, Canada's rate of per-capita acute 
care beds was in last place, albeit tied with Sweden. Canada has two acute care 
beds for every 1,000 people, against 3.1 in France and six in Germany.

TWO OF THE PLANET'S "BUBBLIEST" REAL ESTATE MARKETS ARE IN CANADA

For at least 15 years now, Canada has been a regular contender on rankings of 
overheated housing markets. And the latest UBS index of world cities with 
"bubbly" real estate markets is no exception. In their 2021 index, Toronto was 
second only to Frankfurt in terms of bubble risk, while Vancouver ranked sixth. 
Aside from Germany, Canada was the only country that saw two of its cities in 
the top ten.

risks," and they're both in Canada.

WE RACKED UP COVID DEBT FASTER THAN ANYONE ELSE

The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in the most feverish global accumulation of debt 
in the history of human civilization. So it's rather remarkable that amidst 
this international monsoon of debt, Canada still managed to out-debt everyone 
else. Last year, analysts at Bloomberg tracked each country's rate of public 
and private debt accumulated during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Canada came in with an overall debt burden equivalent to 352 per cent of GDP. 
While a handful of countries (Japan, France and Hong Kong) came out of the 
pandemic with higher overall debt burdens, Canada outranked all of them when it 
came to how quickly that debt had been accumulated.

THE PORT OF VANCOUVER IS (ALMOST) THE MOST INEFFICIENT IN THE WORLD

Last year - just as the global supply chain crisis got going - the World Bank 
decided to rank the performance of the world's 370 major ports. Authors weighed 
factors such as how long the ports kept ships waiting, and how long crews took 
to unload a vessel. And when everything was added together, the Port of 
Vancouver ranked 368 out of 370. The only places with worse scores were the 
Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. And it's not like our other 
ports are much better. If Vancouver is too gummed up, you can always sail north 
to Prince Rupert, which ranks 339 out of 370.

TORONTO PEARSON IS THE WORLD'S MOST-DELAYED AIRPORT

Flight delays are another category in which basically the entire world is 
feeling the pinch. And yet, Canada still managed to outdo all of them. Last 
month, CNN used data from the website FlightAware to figure out which airports 
were seeing the highest rates of flight delays. In the number one spot was 
Toronto Pearson, with 52 per cent of all flights out of the airport 
experiencing some kind of delay. And it was a commanding lead; the second-place 
finisher, Frankfurt, only managed to see 45.4 per cent of its flights delayed. 
Toronto was also a contender in flight cancellations; with 6.9 per cent of its 
scheduled flights never getting off the ground, it ranked fourth worst in the 
world.

WE'RE ONE OF THE WORLD'S WORST ECONOMIES FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT

A 2020 study out of the University of Calgary tracked foreign investment flows 
into a cross-section of developed countries between 2015 and 2019. Virtually 
every country on the list saw a surge in foreign cash during that period; 
Ireland topped out the ranking thanks to its foreign investment climbing by 
more than 115 per cent. Only four countries actually saw a reduction in foreign 
investment: Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Canada. A report by the Business 
Council of Canada noticed the same trend. "Canada is the second-worst in the 
OECD on openness to foreign direct investment," it concluded.

WE DRIVE THE MOST FUEL-INEFFICIENT VEHICLES IN THE WORLD

In 2019, the International Energy Agency examined the fuel economy of the 
world's private car fleets. On almost every measure, Canada led the pack in 
driving unnecessarily huge, gas-guzzling vehicles. Per kilometre driven, the 
average Canadian burned more fuel and emitted more carbon dioxide than anyone 
else. Canadian cars were also the largest and (second only to the U.S.) the 
heaviest. While it would be convenient to blame this on Canada being a sparse, 
cold country with lots of heavy industry, our ranking was well beyond plenty of 
other countries where that was similarly the case.
