Biden's Lies

@taiwan_girl said in Biden's Lies:
Here is a database of inaccurate statements by President Trump
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/)
It would beneficial if they (or someone) does the same thing for President Biden. No reason he should be less accountable.
There is quite a difference between “We built the strongest economy in the history of the world” and “law school on a full academic scholarship”. One is hyperbole that can be argued back and forth based on different metrics. The other is a statement of fact that is demonstrably false.
-
Oh, and that one piece of hyperbole counts as 500 of the the 30K lies they attribute to Trump.

No, according to WaPo, that is close to 500 lies.

“I hear all the folks on TV saying, ‘Why didn’t Biden get this done?’ Well, because Biden only has a majority of, effectively, four votes in the House and a tie in the Senate with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”
There’s no evidence that either Manchin or Sinema vote more with Republicans. They are certainly more moderate than other Democrats and in a 50-50 Senate, they have the power to block any part of Biden’s agenda they find objectionable. So, as in the case of Tanden, a vote does not even have to take place, making it difficult to rely on a scorecard. Both senators certainly have been firm in rejecting changes in the filibuster rules, which if eliminated would make it much easier for Biden to pass his program. So we can’t completely say his claim is off base. But it’s close.
Biden earns Three Pinocchios.

He just keeps making shit up.
Biden began telling members of the Dodgers that he used to be quite the baseball player, nearly putting a ball over the fence “at the old Washington stadium” during a congressional baseball game.
“In the very beginning, I used to be a center fielder,” Biden says during his speech after congratulating the team (and for some reason Satchel Paige, who never played for the Dodgers). “It’s a long story,” Biden said before trailing off as he’s known to do.
“My kids only remember two things that ever happened to me in my career,” Biden went on to say. “They’ve met kings and queens and they’ve gone to other countries. But I played in the second congressional baseball game at the old stadium, in the old Washington stadium. I hit one off the right-center field wall, bounced off the wall. I think it’s 368, or I don’t know what it is exactly now, but off the wall.”

The handbook that the Biden folx endorsed: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/8d4b8aa7-b12e-4df8-9836-081a29841523/downloads/ATN Guide to Racial and Restorative Justice in.pdf?ver=1624847347458
folx is a new word for me
(Definition of folx
: FOLKS —used especially to explicitly signal the inclusion of groups commonly marginalized)
The Biden administration admitted it made an error on Wednesday when its guidance for school reopening promoted a radical activist group’s handbook that advocates for educators to "disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression,"
Build a school culture that engages in healing
and advocacy. This requires a commitment to
learning from students, families, and educators
who disrupt Whiteness and other forms of
oppression.
Support Free, antiracist therapy for White educators and
support staff
Those white people are just awful.

President Biden said at a wildfire-focused event in Idaho Monday that his “first job offer” came from the local lumber and wood-products business Boise Cascade, but the company says it has “no record” of that being true.
Biden, who is renowned for sharing memories that did not happen, said that he regularly mentioned the job offer to his Senate colleague from Idaho, the late Democratic Sen. Frank Church.
“I used to tell Frank Church this, I got a — my first job offer, where I wanted — my wife, deceased wife and I wanted to move to Idaho because we — not a joke — it’s such a beautiful, beautiful state. And I interviewed for a job at Boise Cascade,” Biden said.
He added: “And in the meantime there was a war going on. Anyway. But the whole point was that I used to always kid Frank.”
But Boise Cascade spokeswoman Lisa Tschampl told The Post, “We have no record of President Biden’s application or of him having worked for the company. “
