CNN: Biden was just working too darn hard
C'mon man, that whole document thing is totally different
In case you missed it …
The latest batch of Twitter Files shows that Rep. Adam Schiff’s office repeatedly contacted Twitter about removing posts critical of Biden and Schiff … including memes and jokes.
A columnist in the San Francisco Chronicle makes his argument for giving every “longtime Black resident” $5 million in reparations.
Billionaire Nelson Peltz has filed paperwork to be on the board of Disney, saying the company is poorly run. People are speculating he wants to roll back some of Disney’s wokest decisions, in this look back.
Dear Friends —
Sometimes, news outlets don’t even make you try hard to see their double standards.
First they spent a whole lot of time explaining why Donald Trump must be prosecuted for mishandling sensitive documents, which they told us was much worse than Hillary Clinton’s home brew computer system and subsequent destruction of thousands of records.
Then Joe Biden threw them a curveball with documents boxed next to his Corvette.
Curveball or not, CNN was up for the challenge. Here’s their piece which took four reporters to lay out the Democrat defense: Joe Biden was working too hard for America.
Biden’s whirlwind final days as vice president had aides scrambling to close his White House office
The early days of 2017 were a whirlwind for Vice President Joe Biden: swearing in a new Congress, a surprise Medal of Freedom, a speech at Davos and one final trip to Ukraine.
Partly to wrap up his policy portfolios, partly to tout his accomplishments, and partly to occupy himself following the death of his son a year earlier, Biden thrust himself into work in a final sprint to mark what then appeared to be the end of a four-decade run at the highest levels of government.
As Biden was busy keeping busy, however, his office was shutting down. Aides scrambled to pack up his workspaces in the West Wing, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and at his official residence, the Naval Observatory.
Those competing objectives – to use his office until the final minutes even as it was obliged to shut down – made for a muddled and hurried process that left aides packing boxes of documents and papers late into the night, even as more material kept arriving.
Almost as if they were colluding with one other, the New York Times came out a few days later with its own carbon copy, a piece titled “Documents Inquiry Puts Spotlight on Biden’s Frenetic Last Days as Vice President”. It too reminded us that Biden worked very very hard, and that he recently lost his son to cancer.
So remember …
Trump’s classified documents were part of an evil plot to sell the country out to Russia, but Biden was working too darn hard for the country. He had the Medal of Freedom to get. That Davos speech. And let’s not forget he was grieving his son’s death a year before.

Finally …
We often hear people say, “just give us the facts!” But you can still spin wildly with “just facts.”
Here are two competing memes circulating the internet that do just that. First, the Blue Team version:
Then, the Red Team response:
I thought the CNN piece was good. It didn't make any excuses for Biden keeping classified docs. It just gave context as to how this might have happened. "A records retention process gone awry" is not a phrase you'd find in a puff piece.
I think the media has done a great job covering Biden's classified docs scandal and explaining the similarities and differences with Trump's.
