He can’t have made investments over the years?

From 2017 to 2022, his net worth increased from 2.5 million to 9 million. I would like to make those kinds of investments.

Apparently, neither does Trump. So that’s a wash.

I doubt there are very many people who have not been taken on by all the centuries of propaganda.

The real enemies are the colonial imperialists.
That used to Ancient Rome for the longest time.
But the Roman colonies like France, Spain, and England took up the mantle from around 1500 on. They invaded and subjugated.
The US then beat Spain and replace Spain as one of the evil colonial imperialists, with the Spanish American war.
So our main enemies are the wealthy elite of the military industrial complex, who start illegal wars for profits.
And what is funny is that Russia then is actually one of our best allies.
They are the least colonial imperialist.
In fact, they defended the innocents we attacked and tried to install puppet dictators, like Chang Kai Shek in China, Syngman Rhee in Korea, Diem in Vietnam, Batista in Cuba, Samosa in Nicaragua, etc.
Compared to us, Russia comes off as the good guy.

“In addition to this shortage of evidence, there are other innocent explanations for the documents that we cannot refute.” (p. 6)

Given the circumlocution in that statement, you may need to read it more than once. The statement alone is inconsistent with all the headlines below. Onto the more specific findings that are relevant to the elements of any potential criminal offenses. …

1. Lack of Evidence of Knowledge that Information Was Classified

• “Mr. Biden should have known that by reading his unfiltered notes about classified meetings in the Situation Room, he risked sharing classified information with his ghostwriter. But the evidence does not show that when Mr. Biden shared the specific passages with his ghostwriter, Mr. Biden knew the passages were classified and intended to share classified information.” (p. 9-10)

Note: We note that this articulation is so reminiscent of James Comey’s embroidering of the facts: the bottom line is in the second sentence; the first sentence is irrelevant and serves no prosecutorial purpose, which leaves one to rightly wonder why it is included.

• “The memo concerned deliberations from more than seven years earlier about the Afghanistan troop surge, and in the intervening years those deliberations had been widely discussed in public, so Mr. Biden could have reasonably expected that the memo’s contents became less sensitive over time. Because we cannot prove that he knew the memo was classified when he left office, we cannot prove that retaining the memo, he willfully retained national defense information.” (p. 221)
• “These facts do not support a conclusion that Mr. Biden willfully retained the marked classified documents in these binders. The cover of one binder was marked unclassified, the other had no classification marking, and we cannot show that Mr. Biden reviewed the binders after his vice presidency or knew the classified documents were inside. It is plausible that he retained these documents by mistake.” (p. 332-333)
• “In addition, Mr. Biden told us in his interview that he does not recognize the marking “Confidential” as a classification marking. To him, the marking means the document should be held in confidence, but not necessarily that it is classified. Although “Confidential” is, in fact, a category of classified information enumerated in the governing executive order, we would likely be unable to refute Mr. Biden’s claim that he did not know this.” (p. 221-222)

The Real “Robert Hur Report” (Versus What You Read in the News): How the Special Counsel report has been misinterpreted

"What the Hur report actually says is there is insufficient evidence of criminality, innocent explanations for the conduct, and affirmative evidence that Biden did not willfully withhold classified documents."

One disturbing aspect of the media coverage of Hur's report is liberal and conservative outlets got it so spectacularly wrong. Scroll down to the bottom of the linked article for evidence of that.
