Joe Biden

A right-wing pundit insisted there was a chance that Taylor Swift could perform at Donald Trump's inauguration if he is re-elected as president.

Turning Point USA ambassador Debra Lea made the suggestion during a Sunday discussion about Swift on Newsmax.

During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Joe Biden's re-election campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu cut off host Kristin Welker when she tried to equate Joe Biden with Donald Trump as threats to the nation's security.

Asked on to talk about the report from special counsel Robert Hur about government documents Biden handed back to the government after Trump's Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI.

"Just to be very clear, the report didn't say he [Biden] wasn't engaged in any wrongdoing," the Meet the Press host stated. "In fact, it was quite firm in the fact that he mishandled classified documents, he just wasn't indicted and criminally charged. But let me follow up with you --."

"But Kristen, wait. No, no, no, no no. You can't — I'm not going to accept that premise," Landrieu interrupted. "In an investigation, a special counsel determines based on the facts and the law about whether somebody engaged in criminal wrongdoing and he found out that the president did. As a matter of fact, he's the only special counsel that's been engaged in this kind of activity that had to say that he could not indict somebody, and that is a fact and so that's the big takeaway from this report from a legal perspective."

"From a legal perspective, that is absolutely right," Welker replied. "He said he was not going to indict."

"Because he didn't have the law and the facts to do it," her guest added.

"Well, right, but he did say that classified documents were mishandled and he said that national security could have been jeopardized, but let me ask you this --," she continued.

"But, Kristen, he didn't say national security — no ma'am, I'm sorry — he didn't say national security was compromised and you just heard from the secretary of national security —," Landrieu protested.

"He said it could have been," the NBC host interrupted.

"But it was not, and the facts and the law suggested that the president was not engaged in criminal activity," he replied before adding, "To be distinguished between the former president who right now has 91 felony counts pending against him in four different cases. So let's just keep the facts right and let's not make false comparisons between the two which people, unfortunately, do a lot of these days."

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley seemed to forget the date of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, moments after calling for mental fitness tests for presidential candidates.

During a Sunday interview on CBS, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan noted that Haley was pushing the cognitive tests.

Asked about Donald Trump's attack on former South Carolina Nikki Haley's husband during a campaign rally on Saturday, Republican Party campaign strategist Scott Jennings spewed a string of obscenities on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.

On Saturday Trump spoke of Major Mark Haley, stating: "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."

With host Tapper noting that Haley's husband is serving a one-year tour of duty in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard, Jennings jumped right into the fray.

"Haley is not with his wife because he is serving his country in Africa, where they are fighting terrorism," Tapper prompted his guest.

"He's an a**hole," Jennings shot back.

"You're talking about Trump, to be clear?" the CNN host interjected.

"It will not be the first time he's been an a**hole or the last time he'll be an a**hole, that's what it is," Jennings exclaimed.

"And some people like it people will slough it off. This is a tough political campaign. The man is serving the United States in uniform overseas and it's a below-the-belt shot, against someone who is not going to beat him for the nomination."

"Joe Biden is doing everything he can to hand this election to Donald Trump and his response is to go after a guy that is serving America, and saying, I would encourage Russia to invade our allies. The political ineptitude is alone enough to be upset about."

Fox News host Shannon Bream confronted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) about Donald Trump's "brainwashing" of the Republican Party.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Bream pointed to a recent Politico report about Trump's power to kill border legislation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised President Joe Biden's mental acuity after special counsel Robert Hur questioned it.

During an interview on ABC's This Week program, host Jonathan Karl noted that Hur had described Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory.

Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur's report summarizing the classified documents investigation into President Joe Biden is getting intense scrutiny from both Democrats and Republicans.

Hur's report, which numbered nearly 400 pages, found Biden was not criminally culpable and didn't recommend the filing of any charges. However, the special counsel — who previously served as a US Attorney for the District of Maryland in former President Donald Trump's DOJ — still made sweeping statements about Biden's mental faculties that are currently being exploited by the president's Republican detractors.

According to Slate legal analysts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern, one of the least commented-upon aspects of Thursday's Supreme Court hearing on Donald Trump's eligibility to stay on the ballot based upon the 14th Amendment was Justice Samuel Alito's veiled threat aimed at attorney Jason Murray representing the state of Colorado.

During their "Amicus" podcast, Lithwick admitted that some of Alito's comments about a ruling against Trump would lead to "frivolous " lawsuits struck her as "mob-like" as in, "nice democracy you got, it’d be a shame if something happened to it."

Early Saturday morning, Donald Trump went off on another all-caps tirade in response to an Associated Press report on special counsel Robert Hur's probe of President Joe Biden's handling of government documents.

On Truth Social, the former president cut and pasted AP reporting, "Special Counsel Robert Hut released a long-awaited and bitingly critical report that concluded criminal charges against President Joe Biden were not warranted but said there was evidence Biden WILLFULLY RETAINED & SHARED HIGHLY CLASSIFIED Information when he was a private citizen, including documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan. The report repeatedly pointed to Biden’s hazy memory in language that has raised new concerns about the president’s competency and age - a top concern for Voters.”

Notably, Trump all-capped his main complaint about the AP report.

He then launched into a rant, writing, "SO THEN WHY ARE THEY CHARGING ME, I DID NOTHING WRONG??? PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT! A TWO TIER SYSTEM OF JUSTICE."

"THIS IS AN ATTACK ON SLEEPY JOE’S POLITICAL OPPONENT, ME. IT IS LARGE SCALE ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" he added.

After watching a clip of Donald Trump telling a crowd on Friday night that Pennsylvania as we now know it will cease to exist if he loses the election, two MSNBC hosts were left speechless while a third could be heard laughing in the background.

During his speech Friday night in Harrisburg, the former president told the crowd that a President Joe Biden win in November would be bad news for the state.

"We’re not going to have Pennsylvania. They’ll change the name,” Trump stated. “They’re going to change the name of Pennsylvania.”

On Saturday morning, MSNBC "The Weekend" co-host Alicia Menendez shared the clip and, as it concluded, tilted her head in confusion, Symone Sanders-Townsend looked down and was unable to speak, and former Republican National Committee head Michael Steele, who was off camera, started laughing.

Sanders-Townsend finally stated, "Michael, you said something the other day, I was like, 'Yes!' Donald Trump, obviously, he has trouble stringing a sentence together. The American people, the voters at least, do not think of him as senile or crazy, his inability to put a sentence together. They are not registering concern about his age. I think that is because there has not been a sustained campaign from the time Donald Trump came onto the stage down a little elevator to brand him as such."

"I agree," Steele replied. "The reason why it's hard to do it is because Donald Trump is so dammed entertaining, because he is entertaining us."

He added, "You don't look at him through the same critical lens you look at the guy who is obviously much more serious, the president of the United States. You then pick apart those flaws: the guy who you find entertaining has them, as well. He [Trump] can't put a sentence together correctly, wants to rename Pennsylvania. That says a lot about how Donald Trump stepped into the space."

If President Joe Biden wins a second term in November, he's not likely to keep Attorney General Merrick Garland in his current role, according to a new report.

Politico reported Friday evening that sources close to Biden who spoke anonymously to protect their positions say the president is privately "grumbling" about Garland's leadership of the Department of Justice. He's reportedly particularly upset about Garland's oversight of special counsel Robert Hur's and his hands-off approach to Hur's report summarizing the classified documents probe. Even though Hur ultimately ruled that no criminal charges were warranted, the special counsel — who was initially appointed as US Attorney for the District of Maryland by then-President Donald Trump in 2018 — made several unflattering observations about Biden's mental faculties that Republicans have seized on.
