Well, yeah, Hur's report did not make out Biden as a criminal. I read the report. Many of the docs Biden had were written by him. He probably expected he could keep them like Pres. Reagan did when he left office.
And as Jamie Raskin said:
“President Biden did not assert executive privilege or claim absolute immunity from presidential crimes,” Raskin said. “He did not hide boxes of documents under his bed or in a bathtub. He did not fight investigators, nor did he seek to redact a single word of Mr. Hur’s report.”
From the same article and I am making part of the quote bold:
Most importantly, Hur never said explicitly that Biden committed crimes, which Jordan suggested.
Hur found some evidence that Biden willfully retained classified materials after he left the Obama White House. He also uncovered some examples of Biden sharing classified information with his book author.
However, Hur also said his team found plenty of exculpatory evidence that led him to conclude that Biden’s actions weren’t illegal, and ultimately concluded that criminal charges weren’t warranted.
There were enough facts favorable to Biden that would “create reasonable doubt” for a potential jury, and “innocent explanations for the documents that we cannot refute,” Hur wrote in his report.
Had Trump simply returned the documents, those charges would not have happened. Trump didn't want to return them, and they involved national security, and he conspired to keep the documents from the FBI;
Trump (37 counts):[1]
- 31 counts of retaining and failing to deliver national defense documents under the Espionage Act.
Each of these charges is for possession of a separate, specific document. Ten of these documents were handed over to the government in June 2022, and the other 21 were recovered in the August 2022 search.[39] According to the indictment, the 31 documents describe U.S. nuclear weapons; foreign military attacks, plans, capabilities, and effects on U.S. interests; foreign nuclear capabilities; foreign support for terrorist activity; communications with foreign leaders; U.S. military activities; White House daily foreign intelligence briefings; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.[40]
- 5 counts relating to conspiracy to obstruct justice and withholding documents and records[1]
- 1 count of making false statements.

And no therapy is required. You continually talk of therapy but there isn't any required.
No they aren't. We've been over this. No therapy is required.
I know what is. Always did. I wanted ro know if you knew. Now let's break this down..
6 months rhat all it takes and you only need only 2 of so called symptoms. Let's see how rhat goes.
Doc.. Tommy would would really like to be a girl?
Tommy: yes Doc.
Doc.. How bad?
Tommy.. Real bad doc, I would feel so much better if I were.
Doc.. #E check
Doc.. why do you think you would feel better as a girl?
Tommy: Cause I cry a lot and like to clean house.
Doc.. check #F
Doc.. How long has this been going on?
Tommy..6 months
Doc.. Okay well you meet rhe criteria Tommy. Here's your puberty blockers and in a few weeks we'll.fet you started on your hormones.
That's literally all it takes. At most it might take a full 45 minutes meeting usually no more than 20-30 minutes to get a child on harmful, permanent body altering chemicals. There is NO therapy involved. Affirmative Care requires NO therapy. How many times does that have to be explained. 20-40 minutes tops and you are on your way.
Are you aware that in Europe they require 5 years of history of ongoing incongruence before even considering drugs?
You know the DSM was altered due to the influences not from the psychologists but from the activists?
Where was absolutely NOTHING new discovered.
I seriously was hoping g you would take a hard look at the DSM and see the ridiculousness of the so called guide. The 6 month portion should have been enough for you. You actually think 6 months is long enough to put a child on mother medicalization that will effect the rest of their lives?
No it's not a requirement. You can immediately begin the drug treatments with no therapy.
See, you accused me of saying something I didn't say. It is a psychological condition. It's in the DSM. Children ought to be treated with therapy and not with chemicals rhat alter their physical bodies rhat have very dangerous conditions. Especially with the facts that if you don't medicalize they will stop this at a rate as high as 90%. Medicalizing kids makes them transition at about a 100% rate. That means you are actually creating trans kids and not treating the disorder and allowing them to desist.

MATTHIAS BEN THEOPHILUS:
Name of two high priests.1. The successor of Simon ben Boethus, and, unlike the other high priests appointed by Herod, who were foreigners, a native of Jerusalem (Josephus, "Ant." xvii. 4, § 2). On the eve of a Day of Atonement—for the priest the most important time in the year—he had become ritually unclean, and consequently was unable to perform the duties of his office, which were discharged instead by his kinsman Joseph ben Ellem ("Ant." xvii. 6, § 4). This occurrence is mentioned in the Talmud (Tosef., Yoma, i. 4; Yoma 12b; Yer. Yoma 38d), although the name of Matthias ben Theophilus is omitted. His deposition, however, was not due to this cause, but to the fact that he was supposedto have been implicated in the insurrection when the golden eagle was pulled down from the gate of the Temple (see Judah ben Zippori). His tenure of office lasted only one or two years (5-4 B.C.).

Concerning Herod: when his wings of an eagle were plucked, (with axes).
Josephus, Ant. XVII, 6:3-4
3. And with such discourses as this did these men excite the young men to this action; and a report being come to them that the king was dead, this was an addition to the wise men's persuasions; so, in the very middle of the day, they got upon the place, they pulled down the eagle, and cut it into pieces with axes, while a great number of the people were in the temple. And now the king's captain, upon hearing what the undertaking was, and supposing it was a thing of a higher nature than it proved to be, came up thither, having a great band of soldiers with him, such as was sufficient to put a stop to the multitude of those who pulled down what was dedicated to God; so he fell upon them unexpectedly, and as they were upon this bold attempt, in a foolish presumption rather than a cautious circumspection, as is usual with the multitude, and while they were in disorder, and incautious of what was for their advantage; so he caught no fewer than forty of the young men, who had the courage to stay behind when the rest ran away, together with the authors of this bold attempt, Judas and Matthias, who thought it an ignominious thing to retire upon his approach, and led them to the king. And when they were come to the king, and he asked them if they had been so bold as to pull down what he had dedicated to God, "Yes, (said they), what was contrived we contrived, and what hath been performed we performed it, and that with such a virtuous courage as becomes men; for we have given our assistance to those things which were dedicated to the majesty of God, and we have provided for what we have learned by hearing the law; and it ought not to be wondered at, if we esteem those laws which Moses had suggested to him, and were taught him by God, and which he wrote and left behind him, more worthy of observation than thy commands. Accordingly we will undergo death, and all sorts of punishments which thou canst inflict upon us, with pleasure, since we are conscious to ourselves that we shall die, not for any unrighteous actions, but for our love to religion." And thus they all said, and their courage was still equal to their profession, and equal to that with which they readily set about this undertaking. And when the king had ordered them to be bound, he sent them to Jericho, and called together the principal men among the Jews; and when they were come, he made them assemble in the theater, and because he could not himself stand, he lay upon a couch, and enumerated the many labors that he had long endured on their account, and his building of the temple, and what a vast charge that was to him; while the Asamoneans, during the hundred and twenty-five years of their government, had not been able to perform any so great a work for the honor of God as that was; that he had also adorned it with very valuable donations, on which account he hoped that he had left himself a memorial, and procured himself a reputation after his death. He then cried out, that these men had not abstained from affronting him, even in his lifetime, but that in the very day time, and in the sight of the multitude, they had abused him to that degree, as to fall upon what he had dedicated, and in that way of abuse had pulled it down to the ground. They pretended, indeed, that they did it to affront him; but if any one consider the thing truly, they will find that they were guilty of sacrilege against God therein.
4. But the people, on account of Herod's barbarous temper, and for fear he should be so cruel and to inflict punishment on them, said what was done was done without their approbation, and that it seemed to them that the actors might well be punished for what they had done. But as for Herod, he dealt more mildly with others [of the assembly] but he deprived Matthias of the high priesthood, as in part an occasion of this action, and made Joazar, who was Matthias's wife's brother, high priest in his stead. Now it happened, that during the time of the high priesthood of this Matthias, there was another person made high priest for a single day, that very day which the Jews observed as a fast. The occasion was this: This Matthias the high priest, on the night before that day when the fast was to be celebrated, seemed, in a dream, (7) to have conversation with his wife; and because he could not officiate himself on that account, Joseph, the son of Ellemus, his kinsman, assisted him in that sacred office. But Herod deprived this Matthias of the high priesthood, and burnt the other Matthias, who had raised the sedition, with his companions, alive. And that very night there was an eclipse of the moon.

Somehow turning 40 just now reminds me of that Pat Monaham song that was so bad from about twelve years ago, where the lyrics are "Oh, I swear to ya! I'll be there for ya! This is not a drive by -ay-ay-ay-aye ....!"
I don't know, maybe because I think he was in his early forties when he made that song, where he was acting like he dates as though he's still 20. ... Kind of admire that aspect of him if so, I guess.
