The Hur report said nothing about Biden not being competent to stand trial, it concluded "that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter". It mentioned his "forgetful" nature a number of times but made no conclusions about his competency.
And, the person speculating on his acuity has no medical background to do so. Their commentary is anecdotal.
If he is not competent to stand trial then how can he competent to be POTUS ?

I know. That is just my interpretation of all of this.
I'm not worried about the minutiae right now.
As far as I am concerned with Biden, the light's on but no one is home.
Bring on the 25th like everyone wanted to do with Trump and get it over with.

I donât think Iâd start down the âcompetent to be POTUSâ track when the GOP threw up a person as their nominee whoâd never held office, didnât understand the job, had a history of failed businesses that went back decades, was a known philanderer, and still he was their best choiceâ¦
Oh, I just threw that up last night to counter our friend from Oklahoma latest post about Trump, which you just responded to.

More pretzel logic. Were you not alive during the 2020 Trump-Biden presidential debate? Or would you like to concede Biden's rapid decline from 2020?
Biden more than held his own in that fiasco of a first debate. Post-debate polling of that debate and the one in late October indicated that most viewers thought that Biden had won both. The second scheduled debate was cancelled due to Trump's Covid illness.
Just about every president that I know of has mixed up the names of foreign leaders and business leaders. We shrugged our shoulders when Trump as president called Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. "Tim Apple" while Cook was standing right next to him during a photo-op. Oh, it's just Trump—he's an entertainer, a bit of a cartoon character, so we can't expect him to be razor-sharp and remember petty details when he's performing for the camera. But when Biden slips, people overreact.
THINK ABOUT THIS: Biden supposedly forgot things during the course of what was likely a wide-ranging interview with Hur and associates. On the other hand, Trump makes slips, forgets things and confuses people during PREPARED statements.
THINK ABOUT THE INSANE AND NO=HOPE PLANS TRUMP HATCHED TO HOLD ONTO POWER, DESPITE THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL AND STAFF:
* Tried to get secretaries of state in swing states to alter the vote count in his favor. In front of multiple witnesses.
* Tried to get DOJ to announce, after votes had been verified in most states, that there was sufficient voting irregularities to call the results into question—despite being told over and over again that there was no basis in fact to support such a statement.
* Discussed the possibillity of seizing voting machnes
* Personally participated in the creation of slates of fake Electors.
* Called and pressured Mike Pence to reject the formal Electoral vote count because Trump thought that would halt the transition of power
* Encouraged and allowed and WATCHED the violent assault on the Capitol so that there would be more time to convince courts to accept his fake Electors.
No one in Congress or the courts or the military or the press would have gone along with any of Trump's plans. Any coup d'etat in any country will fail if you don't have the support of at least some of those groups. You need all of them in the US. Trump had no backing to hold onto power.
Does Trump still strike you as rational, mentally competent or capable of running a country?
A lot o spf people including neuroscientists have weighed in and said that Biden is in good mental shape. For instance"
It is normal to be more forgetful as you get older. Broadly speaking, memory functions begin to decline in our 30s and continue to fade into old age. However, age in and of itself doesnât indicate the presence of memory deficits that would affect an individualâs ability to perform in a demanding leadership role. And an apparent memory lapse may or may not be consequential depending on the reasons it occurred.
There is forgetting and there is Forgetting. If youâre over the age of 40, youâve most likely experienced the frustration of trying to grasp hold of that slippery word hovering on the tip of your tongue. Colloquially, this might be described as âforgetting,â but most memory scientists would call this âretrieval failure,â meaning that the memory is there, but we just canât pull it up when we need it. On the other hand, Forgetting (with a capital F) is when a memory is seemingly lost or gone altogether. Inattentively conflating the names of the leaders of two countries would fall in the first category, whereas being unable to remember that you had ever met the president of Egypt would fall into the latter.
Over the course of typical aging, we see changes in the functioning of the prefrontal cortex, a brain area that plays a starring role in many of our day-to-day memory successes and failures. These changes mean that, as we get older, we tend to be more distractible and often struggle to pull up the word or name weâre looking for. Remembering events takes longer and it requires more effort, and we canât catch errors as quickly as we used to. This translates to a lot more forgetting, and a little more Forgetting.
Many of the special counselâs observations about Mr. Bidenâs memory seem to fall in the category of forgetting, meaning that they are more indicative of a problem with finding the right information from memory than actual Forgetting. Calling up the date that an event occurred, like the last year of Mr. Bidenâs vice presidency or the year of his sonâs death, is a complex measure of memory. Remembering that an event took place is different than being able to put a date on when it happened, the latter of which is more challenging with increased age. The president very likely has many memories of both periods of his life, even though he could not immediately pull up the date in the stressful (and more immediately pressing) context of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel
The hubbub about Bidenâs purported lack of mental acuity leads me to wonder about how that will be spun if and when Biden and Trump debate. If Biden truly is out of it, would that not become painfully obvious? I mean, if Biden holds his own in a debate â despite being out of it â what would that say about Trump? My speculation is that Trump will come up with reasons not to debate so as to keep alive the narrative that Biden is out of it.
The moment he says, "Will you shut up, man?" We'll know that he has good judgement.
Neither of them dare to stand on a stage and face the unknown. Biden is likely more able to be "prepped", but he's always spoken a bit slowly because of the childhood stutter...and lord knows he's underwhelming.
Can you imagine how painful that debate would be to watch?

There won't be any debates.

Holy pretzel logic, Batman.
"purported lack of mental acuity" Did you somehow manage to not watch his live address to the nation on Thurs night?

But not one investigation ever showed the hint that the election was stolen.
Unless by "steal" you're talking about the failed real estate salesman who doesn't pay his workers.
FTA: Trump was involved in over 3,500 lawsuits during the last three decades. "At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings" were from contractors claiming they got stiffed. USA Today also found "24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act since 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage."
On second thought - you mean the folks who work in Congress and the police that protect them, real patriots, versus the mob that tried to prevent the peaceful transition of power from the loser to the winner and thereby hoped, through violence and intimidation, to steal the election from the will of the American majority? That makes sense. We agree.
