US President Joe Biden has angrily criticised an investigation that found he mishandled top secret files and said he struggled to recall key life events.

In a surprise news briefing on Thursday evening, Mr Biden insisted: “My memory is fine.”

He slammed a claim that he could not recollect when his son died, saying: “How the hell dare he raise that?”

The inquiry found Mr Biden “wilfully retained and disclosed” classified files, but decided not to charge him.

    This is a man who had his party prevent a primary process and will likely prevent debates in what the same people are telling us is the most important election in our lifetime.

    You have all the information before you.

    Why do you believe this is not undemocratic elder abuse by the Democratic party leaders?

    Do you actually believe the 80+ year old man who can’t remember the name ‘Hamas’ is mentally competent? The same man the majority of Democratic voters believe is too old to be president?

    Don’t piss on my leg and and tell me it is raining.

      Had his party prevent a primary process? Do you have even the slightest idea of how presidential elections work? The incumbent president enjoys the presumption of being the nominee as long as they can, and want to, run again. If you didn’t understand that the first time around, that’s your fault.

      And Trump wouldn’t engage in any of the debates. The choices aren’t very good.

      Of course he’s mentally competent. If you believe this partisan hit job, I’d be more worried about your mental competence, to be honest.
