When Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to charge President Joe Biden with felonies related to the mishandling of classified documents last month, Hur found the commander-in-chief too senile to face a jury conviction.
“Biden,” Hur said, “would likely present himself to the jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The president certainly presented himself as old in the final State of the Union address of his first term Thursday night, but certainly not “well-meaning.”
Biden began the election-year speech by depicting Republicans as violent extremists complicit in the Capitol riot of three years ago. Meanwhile, far-left pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked the streets of D.C. and attempted to obstruct the presidential motorcade Thursday night.

“My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth about Jan. 6,” Biden said, declaring 2020 objections to electoral certification — which Democrats have made for decades — the “gravest threat to U.S. democracy since the Civil War.”
The first part of the speech also featured outright threats to the Supreme Court two years after the high bench overturned the 50-year abortion precedent in Roe v. Wade.
