Biden's Lies

Remarks by President Biden at a Delaware Veterans Summit
You know, I — my dad, when I got elected Vice President, he said, “Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.” He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, “And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.”
So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, “Present it to him, okay?” We had the family there.
I said, “Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…” He said, “I don’t want the damn thing.” (Laughter.) No, I’m serious. He said, “I don’t want it.” I said, “What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.” He said, “Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.”
Just like a generation — this generation in Vietnam — excuse me, in — in Iraq.
Biden became Vice President in 2009.
His uncle Frank died in 1999.
His father died in 2002.
Frank Biden’s tombstone does not identify him as a Purple Heart honoree, nor does his obituary. A partial registry of known Purple Heart recipients also doesn’t note anyone by that name receiving the award, though that database is not comprehensive.
The Post’s librarians could not locate prior references to Frank Biden receiving the Purple Heart, which recognizes wounded and killed soldiers, in the Nexis archive and the Factba.se repository of Joe Biden’s public statements also doesn’t contain prior references.

I'd stop voting for the motherfuckers if I were you.
I know, you only had two choices, and they were both lying scumbags, so you were kind of stuck.
Maybe you could ask the British to take over again? We're not particularly honest, but we sound a lot more sophisticated than your leaders. Boris can lie in ancient Greek.

Fact-checking President Biden’s 2023 State of the Union address
"That’s misleading. "
"Left unsaid"
"being a bit slippery"
"telling half of the story"
"comparing apples and oranges"
"Biden misleadingly claims to have lowered the deficit"
"technically accurate but lacks context"
"These claim are the subject of dispute"

In a nutshell....

@Doctor-Phibes so, in other words, you’re saying she’s right!

Alt right.

Sometimes, The Resident doesn't even have to open his mouth to lie...
Listening to Bongino a bit today and he was talking about Biden's visit to Ukraine. For those that don't know, Bongino was a NYC cop and later a Secret Service agent (Presidential Protection Detail, Bush 43 and early Obama).
While he said Biden's visit was a gutsy move, he still thought it ill-advised from a security standpoint.
But what he did think was pure political theater was the reaction from Biden and his security staff when the air raid siren sounded. Biden's detail took no action. That means one of two things:
-
The detail did not know that was an air raid siren. That's simply ludicrous. They know. It ain't the movies, they wouldn't have manhandled the president, but they would have placed him quickly into a secure location.
-
The detail did know, because it was a set-up. Just a little bit of added theater to lend some drama and spice to the tv shot. That's why they didn't take any immediate action.
The number 2 possibility is what they call a lead pipe cinch.

Whomever’s idea it was, will probably still get a raise.

Yeah, he's full of shit all right.
Full disclaimer: I was pretty homophobic in high school, too. I know, hard to believe. I was probably compensating for something or other.

@Doctor-Phibes you don't need to be sheepish about it with us.

My God...
That was no slip of the tongue.
That was real.
Right off the whitehouse web site:
Extreme MAGA Republicans’ proposals would ship manufacturing jobs overseas, in a crushing blow to states from Ohio to Georgia to Arizona – and would provide a windfall of economic benefits to China.
They would increase health care premiums for nearly 15 million Americans and make the biggest Medicare benefits cut in decades, forcing America’s seniors to pay more for prescription drugs so Big Pharma can see new taxpayer handouts.
They would defund the police, weaken our competition with China, and slash border security funding. All so that the super-wealthy and corporate special interests can enjoy their tax breaks and cheat on their taxes.
