President Joe Biden made three false claims about his own past in a Tuesday speech in Milwaukee.

[George K]

If CNN, CNN!, is calling him out for his .. mischaracterizations, that might be indicative of something.

[George K]

"The Civil Rights Act passed the Senate by a 73 to 27 vote on June 19, 1964. Thurmond and other Southern Democrat senators (Thurmond would later become a Republican) made up twenty of the 27 dissenting votes. Old Joe Biden wouldn’t enter the Senate until Jan. 3, 1973. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, Biden was enjoying the summer before his senior year at the University of Delaware. There is no indication that Young Joe, 21 years old at the time, knew Strom Thurmond or spoke with him about the Civil Rights Act."

[LuFins Dad]

That's obscene.

[Mik]

Does he even know he's lying?

[George K]

I long for the halcyon days when the Orange Man would tweet something outrageous.

@Mik said in Biden's Lies:

Does he even know he's lying?

Are you talking about President Biden or President Trump or both? LOL

[George K]

Finally! Glenn Kessler "fact checks" Biden's ... statements.

Guess what word he never uses.

ETA: My bad...he uses that word. Once.

I guess Democracy Dies in Semi-Darkness.

@taiwan_girl said in Biden's Lies:

Is it really a lie if it is unintentional and unknowing?

Well, if you ask the Fulton County DA, yeah, it is.

I am not sure that he is saying it was unintentional and he did not know. LOL

[Copper]

It is unbelievable how often he lies.

[Jolly]

What's unbelievable, is how his supporters gloss over it with a wave of the hand and "Yeah, but Trump..."

[Mik]

Now he was at WTC on 9/12.

[taiwan_girl]

Yeah, he's got to go.

[Mik]

Since he cannot possibly be making the decisions in the White House, it begs the question who is?

[taiwan_girl]

Senior staff and advisors probably.

[Horace]

Junior to mid-range, sometimes medium-high range advisors are advising the senior advisors, who then make the decisions for POTUS. But the dirty secret is that low level advisors to the low level advisors, but actually also the entry-level advisors who started in the mailroom, are able to advise the president about who to choose as his advisors. Rumor is that advice from advisors from the tertiary accessory advisors is actually the main source of advice to potus, however I am awaiting further information before passing judgment on this.

[George K]

Two lies at once!

BIDEN: "When I left the Senate, I was able to convince Strom Thurmond to vote for the Voting Rights Act."

Thurmond died in 2003, while Biden didn't leave the Senate until 2009. The Voting Rights Act passed in 1965, before Biden was in office.
