HERE is the most disproven disreputable spreader of lies.. A video is making the rounds in which Biden boasts at a 1987 rally, “I went to law school on a full academic scholarship…[and] ended up in the top half of my class.” Biden also maintained that he “graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school” and was the “outstanding student in the political science department.” Not one of those claims was true, as newscasters at the time affirmed. In fact, Biden graduated 76th of 85 students in his law school class, had only a partial scholarship and did not win top honors in his undergraduate discipline. Biden explained in his 2007 autobiography “Promises to Keep” that he had been angry at that rally since “it sounded to me that one of my own supporters doubted my intelligence.” According to a 1987 Newsweek piece, a supporter had “politely” asked Biden what law school he attended and how well he had done. Biden bristled, saying “I think I have a much higher IQ than you do,” reeled off his fabricated accomplishments and concluded “I’d be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours if you’d like, Frank.” The episode reminds us of Biden recently snapping “You’re full of sh*t” at an auto worker who dared to challenge Biden’s stance on guns; or calling an Iowa voter a “damn liar” for insinuating that Biden had helped his son gain access in Ukraine. The Newsweek reporter wrote that Biden appears “hyper, glib and intellectually insecure,” and says the 1987 encounter was critical to understanding why Biden’s first run at higher office flopped. “The clip…reflects a view of Biden’s character widely shared in the community. Reporters and political consultants long ago concluded that Biden’s chief character flaw was his tendency to wing it. He seems to lack a crucial synapse between brain and tongue, the one that makes the do-I-really-want-to-say-this decision.” That commentary holds up well, as today more than ever Biden blunders into conversational crevasses, with no way out. (Think: “If they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn’t vote for me.” A new Harvard-Harris poll shows 55 percent of the country believes Tara Reade. Game. Set. Match.) Biden’s 1987 campaign foundered also because he was caught lifting passages of a speech given by Neil Kinnock. Biden echoed (falsely) the British Labor leader’s history that he was the first “in a thousand generations” to graduate from college and repeated virtually verbatim the same story about his wife, just as Kinnock had. More shocking, Biden claimed: “My ancestors…worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours,’’ even though no one in Biden’s family tree ever worked underground. That was Kinnock’s family. It wasn’t the first time; Biden had also been caught plagiarizing during law school. He “borrowed” an entire five pages from a published law review article without attribution and had to beg not to be expelled. Interestingly, just last summer complaints arose about Biden “borrowing” the work of others, in putting together his climate plan. As Vox reported, Biden’s plan “contains a number of passages that seem to have been copied and pasted, at times with very superficial changes” from a variety of sources. Biden supporters will dismiss these episodes as being in the distant past. But Biden’s tendency to mislead did not expire in 1988. More recently, the former vice president has told audiences that after his stint in the White House, “I became a teacher. I became a professor.” While it is true that he took a lofty salary to make a handful of speeches for the University of Pennsylvania, Biden has never taught students. Then there was the inspiring tale of visiting Afghanistan to honor a heroic naval officer. Biden described the officer’s actions in detail, adding, “This is God’s truth, my word as a Biden.” But according to a review in the Washington Post, no such incident occurred. Biden was lucky not to be hit by lightning. There were also Biden’s claims of having been arrested in the 1970s because he tried to visit Nelson Mandela in prison. Nope, didn’t happen. He has also cast himself as a civil rights activist and co-sponsor of the Endangered Species Act; those things aren’t true either. Character does not change. Biden’s winning smile and genial nature have granted him license to mislead. But as Biden denies alleged misdeeds related to General Flynn, to his son Hunter’s involvement in Ukraine or to Tara Reade, his history of bending the truth is informative. Lies, damned lies and the truth about Joe Biden | The Hill ...... and this was only up to 2020, the list has since that time grown exponentially
So what was that eight lies? If you are so concerned about lying politicians, how do you feel about Trump (30,573 during his term). Here's more lies, lots more: False or misleading statements by Donald Trump (Note, just reading the confirmed lies that Trump has made will take you at least an hour, if not more). And let's not forget, he continues to lie daily. Trump's drumbeat of lies about the 2020 election keeps getting louder. Here are the facts If you are trying to claim the moral high ground by claiming that Biden "is the most disproven disreputable spreader of lies.." I would say you aren't doing a very good job.
Overall I think Coach is amusing, but sad. Sad because he is representative of the idiots out there who had bad educations (thanks to the Republicans) and read nonsense 'news' that fill their heads with disinformation spread by Chinese and Russian interests hell-bent on destroying the democracy we used to enjoy in the United States. But it's conversation... of some sort. I find it very strange how the Republican political party has been subverted by these interests...it's a far cry away from the liberal beginnings of the party, which touted freedom for slaves and brought us such things as the New Deal and the EPA.
Let the impeachment and removal from office of Joe Biden come, let it come soon, and may the axe drive deeply into those who bought his bullshit.
Joe Biden and his son Hunter are under scrutiny by three separate House GOP-led committees over allegations of bribery and other corruption in Hunter’s foreign business dealings. Evidence shows that while Hunter may have used his father's name to help promote those dealings, Joe Biden was never directly involved. So while Hunter Biden is not the most ethical businessman around, it pales in comparison to the way Donald Trump does business. We unsuccessfully tried to impeach Trump twice, so how can the GOP think they have a ghost of a chance impeaching Biden over this?
What I meant was, we impeached him twice but were unsuccessful in convicting him. And if the GOP proceeds with this they're highly unlikely to get an impeachment underway, much less get a conviction.
On the other hand there's MTG! Marjorie Taylor Greene Fumes At Republicans Over Lack Of Biden Impeachment Inquiry
