Biden's Lies

We've got folks right here - supposedly intelligent people - that make all kids of excuses for The Resident.

Yes, that was pretty stupid of him to talk about, and even more stupid that they want to try and regulate.

An extension of the idea the government should be in charge of everything and is responsible for solving all problems, no matter how trivial.

Did he lie to a federal agent?
Fresh out of law school and working as a clerk at a high-powered Wilmington, Delaware, law firm, Biden, in his telling, was tapped to defend a construction company sued by a 23-year-old welder who "lost part of his penis and one of his testicles" to a fire that broke out when he was working inside a chimney at a Delaware City plant. Thanks to Biden’s shrewd legal defense on the construction company’s behalf, the injured man lost the case.
"I wrote this memo. And son of a b—, it prevailed," Biden told Hur on Oct. 8. "And I looked over at that kid…and I thought, ‘son of a b—, I’m in the wrong business, I'm not made for this.’"
Biden said he was so wracked with guilt that he concocted an excuse to avoid a celebratory lunch with one of the firm’s named partners and walked into the public defender’s office to ask for a job that very day. It’s "the only time I ever lied," Biden told Hur on Oct. 8. Thus began, according to a New York Times report on the special counsel interview, "a career that would one day take him to the White House."
But this story is almost certainly a complete work of fiction.
Although Biden did work at a law firm tapped to defend a construction company in a negligence suit like the one he described to Hur, the case concluded in 1968, while Biden was still in law school. And the welder won, walking away with $315,000, more than $2.8 million in 2024 dollars.
And another lie to a federal agent:
Over the years, Biden has told different versions of the welder story. He told Hur that he received several offers from "prestigious law firms," one of which he landed because of his good looks. Biden says he accepted a job at Prickett, Ward, Burt & Sanders but could not begin work until he passed the bar exam and started as a law clerk at the firm.
In his 2007 memoir, however, Biden says he had very few job prospects after his 1968 graduation from Syracuse University Law School and that Prickett took a chance on him, offering him a role despite his poor grades—including the F he received in a torts class after he was caught plagiarizing.

And speaking about the Baltimore bridge accident, the president commented how he took the train over that bridge many times.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

That’s more senior moment than it is a lie.

Yeah, but I didn't want to start a "Biden's Senior Moments" thread because NodeBB doesn't have the hard drive storage space.

Politi"fact" says it's all about context, dont'cha know.
Some news coverage also focused on Biden’s comments about taking trains. And former President Donald Trump’s campaign cited it as evidence that "Biden (confused — again) claims to have gone over the Francis Scott Key Bridge by train ‘many times.’"
Before it collapsed, the four-lane bridge spanned 1.6 miles — and, no, the bridge does not have train tracks.
But these social media posts did not present Biden’s full statement that allowed for some ambiguity; he mentioned commuting by car.
Here’s what he said March 26 at the White House: "At about 1:30, a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either on a train or by car."
The White House clarified Biden’s comments to the New York Post, which ran a story headlined: "Biden claims he commuted over collapsed Baltimore Key Bridge by train’ many times’ — but it doesn’t have any rail lines."
"The President is clearly describing driving over the bridge while commuting between Delaware and (Washington) D.C. during his 36-year Senate career," the New York Post quoted White House spokesperson Robyn Patterson saying in a statement.
"Clearly"

If someone is demented and tells something that is incorrect, is it a lie?
For example, if your grandmother says something you know is wrong, do you call her out as a liar, or just pat her hand and nod your head.

I don't make her president.

That is why President Biden is president in name only. His handlers let him pretend he is, but do all his work behind the scenes.
