Biden's Lies
-
@AndyD said in Biden's Lies:
Everyone lies, politicians are no different, but their job seems to make lying almost necessary in order to be popular.
Exactly. And that's why this thread exists. We had self-appointed "fact-checkers" chronicling every untrue statement that Trump made.
Where are these people now?
As Jim Treacher said, years ago...
We have self-driving SUVs, political murder of what someone thought was a "right wing extremist," an "elected official" released on bail (and still drawing a salary) after being arraigned for murder and no one seems to notice. Why? Because of what modern "journalism" is.
Quick - without googling, who knows who James Hodgekinson is?
So, yeah, they all lie. @89th was particularly vocal about Trump's lies.
And yet, here we are.

For the record, I was a lot more vocal about Trump's lies, too. Because a lot of people here denied it and that was annoying. Because c'mon, we should all know better.
Biden's a mouthpiece and I lost any sense of neutrality with him over the Afghanistan debacle. But everyone seems to know he's a mouthpiece, so I don't complain as much. Doesn't mean I'll vote for him. I won't.

Yeah, but some of those things y'all decided were lies, weren't.
Bugging Trump Tower wasn't a lie. The FBI making up Russia! Russia! Russia! wasn't a lie. The concept of a Deep State, wasn't a lie.

Presdient Trump was like the character in the "Boy Who Cried To Wolves"
He told so many lies, that his truths were not believed or discarded.

From Mr. Trump, how many lies were there?
1 or 2?
Dozens?
Hundreds?
Why not share a few dozen?

The first two are lies, as for the third it depends on what one means by deep state.

By the way, this thread is my contribution to doing the work that the Washington Post isn't doing.
You're welcome.

@Jolly Well, lets say that 75% are biased. That still leave 8000 or so for @copper to pick his favorites from.555
TG, we addressed that page many times before… Almost all of the disputed claims were the same 20-30 that he repeated hundreds or thousands of times. The Dominion Voter Machine lie counted as 7000…

I'm still waiting.
This one counts as 493 lies.
“We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world…Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
That is 493 lies.
Come on. How is that a lie? It doesn't mean anything.
The Post calls it a lie because they made up a definition of "greatest economy" and then made sure their definition didn't match his.
idiots.

Empathy from POTUS.
Yeah, that house fire was extinguished in 20 minutes. That's EXACTLY the same as losing your entire house.
Was this house his bio-home or his adopted Puerto Rican home?

I thought his talking about his son's death in Iraq was particularly poignant.
Except...He didn't have a son die in Iraq...

I looked into that too. He believes Beau developed his glioblastoma from being near the burn pits in Iraq. It's not an unreasonable belief.

However in comparing military either exposed (predominately after 2001) to “burn pits” to those not exposed, there seems to be equal rates of brain tumors. No data suggests Iraq veterans developed brain cancer at any higher rate than those in earlier wars. Brain cancer prevalence was ~ 0.04% for Vietnam veterans and 0.03% for Gulf War veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the guy who wrote this is a brain surgeon. Who you gonna trust, a neurosurgeon or POTUS?
Biden’s other main claim was his suggestion that burn pits are the reason why some veterans are developing brain cancer. There is little evidence to indicate that’s true, although scientists have not ruled out a connection.
Burn pits are open areas in which trash from a military base is burned, typically because of a lack of other waste infrastructure, including incinerators. Although the U.S. military has significantly reduced the use of burn pits, they once were common throughout war zones in the Middle East and Central Asia.
A 2010 Government Accountability Office report explains that before 2004, burn pits were the only method of waste management that the military used in Iraq and Afghanistan. In November 2009, the report adds, U.S. Central Command reported 50 active burn pits in Afghanistan and 67 in Iraq; by April 2010, this had changed to 184 and 52, respectively, and in August 2010, to 251 and 22.
Although future studies may eventually come out to change scientific opinion, there is no direct evidence that burn pits cause brain cancer, and no indication that Iraq War veterans are especially affected by brain cancer, as Biden claimed.
