She intentionally misleads people into thinking that Biden nailed the date and that Hur was lying about Biden not having any clue what year his son died in by focusing just on May 30. Then some NPC twitter account picks it up and tells people that Biden did in fact remember the date based on the transcript because he knows they're too stupid to read the actual exchange. Just an echo chamber of misinformation they're too stupid to break out of. Once again... the transcript shows Biden got the day and month correct, just not the year. Before the transcript, all we had was the report that said Biden "couldn't remember when his son died, not even within several years." The implication being that he was off by like 7+ years and didn't know the day or month. In another line of questioning, Hur actually compliments Biden's recall of certain details of a trip to Mongolia. You can cling to Robert Hur's report all you want, but it's hardly the disqualifier you were hoping for. Especially when Trump makes gaffes like this every day he opens his mouth.

March 12, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, Phillyterp85 said: The transcript absolutely reflects that. The several years part comes from the interview. Biden is asked where he kept the papers related to the things he was actively working on while living at Chain Bridge Road. Biden then responds that he doesn’t know, and asks if it is around the 2017/2018 time frame. Hur says yes. Biden then says this would have been in the time frame that his son is either deployed, or is dying. Then he goes onto say that people were encouraging him to run for president at this time, but that Obama thought Hillary had a better shot at winning. But that he hadn’t walked away from the idea that he’d run for president again. And then says that Beau died on May 30th. his aides then interject that it was 2015 when Beau did. So his timeline is in two separate places during this discussion. On one hand he’s talking about what he was working on while he was living on chain bridge road AFTER his VP term ended in 2017/2018, and then he’s talking about events going on in 2015. That's a weird way to read this man. To be sure he's not really directly answering Hur's question, and Hur himself suggests a break as this was well into the second hour of the interview, almost into the 3rd. But it's clear that Beau's death influenced his decision not to run in 2016, but also was influencing his decision to run by the time he's at the Chain Bridge location. He even relays a family meeting where Beau's son shows him a picture of him at Beau's funeral and tells him that he'd want Joe to run against Trump as when he decided he would enter the race. Reading the line of questions in context, Biden is mentally reconstructing the timeframe leading up to the 2017-2018 period to try and answer the question as to what kinds of documents he might have been storing at Chain Bridge. It makes it clear because he's talking about Senators encouraging him to run for the presidency at the end of the Obama administration and when he says the correct date of Beau's death - May 30th - Ms. Cotton jumps in with the year. In any case, it was exactly the same line of questioning here Beau's death date is established when he continues to talk about his mindset in the 2017-2018 period, and he's relaying conversations he had with Beau before he passed about running for office. FWIW it's not uncommon for people to be unable to immediately recall the year loved ones passed. I have to think about it to recall the years my grandparents passed, and the most recent was the same year I was married. To me the fact that he quickly recalled the date of death and only had any apparent struggle with the year under questioning is pretty typical.

I can say the same thing in regards to all my kids birthdays. Recalling the month and day are a breeze, the year takes more thought. Yes this is common. Grief tends to muddy certain things and sharpen others. Most people can relay exactly where they were and what they were doing when they received news that a loved one died. But they often struggle to relay the date. Acting like this is some kind of gotcha is ghoulish.

March 13, 20241 yr 17 hours ago, JohnSnowsHair said: If you read the pages of the transcript in context he starts with naming the month and day Beau died correctly before someone else jumped in and completed the year. Within a minute or two later he's talking the 2017 timeframe he's starting in on a general statement if his mindset around running for office, he's listing some of the things on his mind during the timeframe around running - and one of them was Beau dying. So he got the exact month and day Beau died, someone decided to complete the thought for him for some reason (without a recording who knows but lawyers were interjecting quite a bit). Very shortly (a page or two in the transcript) after he's relaying his mindset during the timeframe in question as it relates to the rules of documents he had in his Penn office. So he's talking about why he didn't run in 2016 and referencing Beau among other things. The 2017 in reference was quickly corrected in the transcript as Biden acknowledged he was thinking he left office as VP in 2017 so that's why that year came to mind first. None of this is the gotcha you think it is. Trump commits more cognitive gaffes on a daily basis. My moron is less demented than your moron in other words. Someone save us from these two idiots.
