    After yesterday's two rulings, I think the writing is on the wall. None of the legal cases against Trump will have any impact, most will probably fade away.

    Second, Hur's report threw Biden under the bus. Similar to Comey's repoening of Hillary's case weeks before the 2016 election. He has now made the "dementia" attack against Biden official. Biden didn't help himself by his press conference, again mixing up world leaders.

    Third, the MSM and even international media have gone into full Biden bashing mode. They keep highlighting every single one of his senior moments and make them front page. I don't know if this is intentional to make him drop out of the race... In any case, even if he would drop out, there is no contender who could take it to Trump on short notice.

    The reality is that a lot of Dems, who were holding their nose voting for Biden anyway, will be even further turned off by all this negative news. On the other hands, Trump voters don't care, their love for Trump is cemented.

    And that's what the election will come down to: Which of the two voting blocks will be more turned off, so many of them won't show up at the ballot box. If four more years of Trump seems like a foregone conclusion in October, many Dem voters may not care and stay home.

    Just something to think about - we could see Joe replaced in the next few weeks. That may be why the MSM has gone into Biden Bashing mode which I agree is a stark turn of events.

    while I agree with pretty much everything you said, I don't think ANY of it will hold up to a 3AM surprise on election night. Biden's chances of winning are still 99.9%

    I didn't think that report or anything matters as much as you think. Hell, look at all dirt on Trump and he's still standing. People don't care about anything like that anymore.

    I think it's pretty simple - if they can keep Biden operating in some sort of functional capacity on shoe strings and wire, come November, then he will win. If not, it's Trump.

    I definitely think it's possible for Biden to keep going. Something people forget that even with help he's on presidential duties full time. Closer to election time they'll find a way to wind it back and give him a bit of extra head space and he'll be fine. Hell, Trump didn't even do anything remotely presidential for two months between November elections and Jan 6th, 2021.

    Absolutely no point voting then. Might as well put your feet up and have a beer.

    I disagree. Trump didn't have the votes in 2020 and I don't see him picking up others. And I also believe that the people who voted for Biden in 2020 will turn out regardless of the negative publicity.

    There's still a point. I don't want to make it easier for them.

    I hope you're wrong. Four more years of Trump, who this time will make sure that everyone in the executive branch is a toady, and this country is done.

    The USA is off the rails due to mentally deficient Joe Biden and the lefty radicals around him. They are destroying the USA. It will take a conservative radical like Trump to put the USA back on the rails. Trump has my vote. And I still have faith in the voters.

    If I could heal your brain with this cheating conspiracy I would. But I think you just need to believe it. Less painful.

    Did you know that Trump himself actually acknowledged the other day that he lost? Whatever...

    I doubt Hur's report will have much impact. It will be a talking point, of course. But it would have been a talking point regardless. What it did do is shift the narrative. It's not the expected "Oh! The Deep State is protecting Biden" but "Biden is old". It's the ONLY thing they have to run on. And Biden can obliterate that narrative in a debate with Trump.

    So now they'll have to make up their mind: if the report was written by this "Deep State" why would they include that idiotic comment about his memory?

    What they DID make official, is that Biden is innocent of any crime.

    If i could heal your brain with this thinking that many votes can magically appear out of the blue at 3am I would. But I think you just need to believe it. Less painful.

    I predicted that the democrats would turn on biden, but I expected it sooner, like last year.
    We forget Harris, who I think most democrats would vote for over trump.

    We also cannot ignore that Trump still has a couple of stiff hurdles to get over, one now at the Supreme court and two other potentially disqualifying cases in the hopper. If either of those bear fruit for Democrats, Trump is toast.

    And here's the real thing; If Trump is toast for any reason, Haley is in the oval office. Neither Biden or Harris can beat Haley.

    Oh no! What Hur said was, the DOJ will have a very difficult time convicting Brandon because he gets the sympathy vote.
    That is a far cry from Hur saying biden is innocent. In fact, Hur said the exact opposite.

    Biden will win again in 2024, Trump has lost much more support due to Jan 6th and the Roe SCOTUS knock down. People are kicking the tires but in the end it's simple, don't stay home, vote and take a non voting citizen to the polls. Media bashing and the drama cycle are all about money, that's why they do the both sides thing, advertising dollars. Joe's old and the Hur hit piece was a partisan unprofessional act to make up for the fact he did not have intent on Biden's part. The media, CNN for example, want advert $$$ from both sides.

    As for the Hur, his hit piece cover story, Joe should have just declined to be interviewed as he was immersed in the Oct 7th terrorist massacre at the time but he wanted to do the right thing. No good deeds are unpunished when it comes to life much less hyper partisan politics. Trump can't win, the media market knows it and that's why they are trying to keep it close. The poll are wrong and history proves that.

    Prosecutors never use the word "innocent". He said "no criminal charges are warranted in this matter" and "the evidence does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," Which is legal speak for "he's innocent of any crime"

    You can either accept his conclusion, or you not.

    BTW, what happened to that narrative that everybody is innocent until proven guilty that MAGAs loved to use to defend Trump BEFORE he was proven guilty?

    He was acknowledging that it's nigh impossible to convict a Democrat ex-president in DC. No prosecutor wants an obvious loss on his record. It's a huge indictment of the DC jury pool. They have about the same level of integrity that New Yorkers,

    Completely clueless. If they had found any evidence in Biden's Delaware home, he would have been tried in Delaware. Just like Trump is tried in New York and Florida.

    What this DOES show is that it's very difficult to convict any ex-president anywhere when they are investigated by a Trump loyalist but the evidence they found indicates they haven't committed any crimes.

    Yes.... after that last bumbling speech even the most devoted can not deny the inevitable... realty is, it should have never made it this far.... it has only hurt our country for the world to see us stoop this low... it makes us look weak to have a weak leader and nothing being done about it... we are a laughing stock of the world..

    Hur was Trump appointed. He also pretty much said Biden is a drooling idiot, which will be used against him in the '24 election. Can you say Biden is toast? In other words Hur is not in Biden's camp.

    For several weeks I've been asking people on several different forums how in hell Donald Trump could expect to get 270 electoral votes. Now I'll ask you, @Quantum Nerd -- given everything we already know about Trump's legal situation(s), the blazing anger that so many American women feel with perceived Republican opposition to abortion, and, the appealing lure of Democrat welfare programs, "subsidies", "services", loan-forgiveness, etc. -- HOW does Trump or any other Republican get 270 electoral votes from a population that is addicted to dozens of welfare handouts and whose females are militant about hating Republicans over abortion?

    I predict Trump wins, 4 somewhat uneventful years to by, they try to impeach him again, he leaves after his 4 more years and then the next guy is declared to be worse than Trump. And the whole time, no serious effort is made to break the two party sust or to bring more transparency to government. No lessons will be learned.
