Biden caught telling another whopper

President Joe Biden's penchant for embellishment and falsehood has not slowed in his old age.

The president told yet another one of his self-aggrandizing whoppers this week, claiming he spent time at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after an antisemitic terrorist attack in October 2018 left 11 worshipers dead.
"I remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the Tree of Life Synagogue, speaking with the — just, it just is amazing these things are happening, happening in America," Biden said Thursday in a meeting with Jewish leaders.
The synagogue's executive director told the New York Postshe has no idea what the president is talking about. Biden has not visited the Tree of Life even once in the years since the mass shooting.
Asked to reconcile the president's remarks with the synagogue's response, the White House clarified that Biden was talking about a phone call he had with the Tree of Life's rabbi in July 2019.
Just so we're all tracking, Biden said he remembers "spending time at" and "going to" the synagogue after the 2018 mass shooting. This didn't happen, the synagogue said. Now, the White House claims the president was referring to a private phone call that took place a full nine months after the slaughter. Close enough for government work, I suppose.
It's not shocking Biden would tell such an easily disprovable story. He has a long, long history of such falsehoods, which is why it was highly amusing when certain members of the press, particularly the fact-checkers, suggested a Biden presidency would usher in a golden age of honesty and truthfulness.
Surely, he wouldn't just lie! He said he was going to "restore the soul of the nation!"
Oh, please. Anyone who has paid attention to Biden's career for all of five minutes can tell you he has a notoriously strained relationship with the truth.
In case you need a refresher, here are just a handful of examples:
Biden claimed that every time he has run for office, he has had the backing of the NAACP. Not true. Biden claimed that the Obama administration, in which he served for eight years as vice president, did not "lock people up in cages." It absolutely did. He claimed "immediately, the moment [the Iraq War] started, I came out against the war at that moment." He did not.
There is much more where this comes from, including Biden's plagiarism, his lying about being shot at in Iraq, his bogus claim to have led the charge against Slobodan Milosevic, his lying about being the first in his family to go to university, his nonsense claim that he predicted the 9/11 terrorist attacks, his fabricated anecdote about being arrested in South Africa for demanding to meet with an imprisoned Nelson Mandela, and his false claim that a drunken driver killed his wife and child.
In the late 1980s, when Biden first ran for president, he claimed during an angry exchange with a voter that he attended law school at Syracuse University on a full academic scholarship, that he finished in the top half of his class in law school, that he was named the outstanding student in the political science department as an undergraduate at the University of Delaware, and that he graduated from Delaware with three undergraduate degrees.
Not a single one of these claims was true.
In comparison, Biden's bogus synagogue story actually seems to be one of his milder falsehoods.

In Biden's 48 years in government, he's told 100,000 lies.
statistically, trump would be around 1.6 million lies for the same span of time, not counting repetition of the same lies of course...

I had assumed so, until that question was asked.

Prove it.
Yes, the brainless fucks did vote for Biden, and we are all paying for it.
Thank you/S

“In Biden's 48 years in government, he's told 100,000 lies.”
and accomplished nothing, unless you’re a delaware bank. And brainless fucks voted for and defend him, amazing how stupid some can be.
Donald Trump told a hundred thousand lies daily.
Biden will also tell you he was at Ford theatre and tried to save Lincoln after he was shot
He also told them it was him who parted the Red Sea and not Moses.
So... When Mexico paid for the wall did the money go into Trump's campaign war chest? The Treasury department hasn't seen it.
Awww so what .. both sides of the aisle defend the lack of honesty in government and elected officials, it is the only way to continue on with a corrupt government.. one must pretend that this lie is not as bad as the lie told by another .. politicians lie and 'we' either accept it as not as bad as .... or 'we' bitch about it..
Rinse repeat
Don't forget the bleach Colour Me Tide.
Should that not be 'white wash'...?
Think about it Hallux .. a presidential candidate can lie about being under fire on an airstrip and still get the nomination for president .. but a news man exaggerates his experience and he is no longer trust worthy .. go figure!
Only in a sundown neighborhood.
I think it has to do with selective acceptable memory, not Alzheimer's sundown'ing ... 'we' accept things from our elected officials that the private sector cannot get away with .. 'we' are lied to non stop by 'our' government, but my guy lies better than your guy BS rules!
The US decided not to have a king .. but there are Duchesses and Dukes running the place .. unreal - 'we' speak of democracy when 'we' truly know nothing about democracy... [sigh!]
Thanks for letting me vent!
Are you saying that exaggerations are smaller lies? That works with penis enlargement ads and fishing yarns, but politicians and reporters?
NO! .. I am saying that 'OUR' government lies none stop and it is seemingly okay ..!
Both sides of the aisle thinks 'their' guy/gal lies less, or not as 'bigly' as the other sides guy does ... these elected officials are reelected year after year after year - but 'we' get pissy if the private sector lies - it is ridiculous!
Actually, Hillary might not have been intentionally under fire, but there was gunfire in the area.,
Mrs Clinton's security detail took it all very seriously at the time so she felt under fire whether the threat was imminent or not. No matter where or the circumstances taking off or landing at an airport that is being fired upon is pretty terrifying. People going in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq with USO Tours always say it was very scary coming and going because the flight crews are obviously scared. They usually take off and land at night and so they make everyone turn off all the lights and close all the windows and basically prepare to be shot out of the air. Never mind that Hillary Clinton was about as high value a target as possible. She had good reason to be worried. Not many people have actually experienced that kind of personal danger in real life.
Pretty sure that world leaders should stay the hell away from war zones.
Whatever .. there was also gun fire when Brian Williams was in the field reporting .. that is not the point, a lie is a lie - there are no excuses, just some get a pass (politicians) and others do not (we the people) ... 'we' have become numb to our elected officials lies!
40+ years of this with Joe. Back in the 20th century, when he ran for president, this kind of thing got him run out of the race. But in 2020, the Democratic Party just said “fuck it” and forced his nomination anyway.
Yet most Americans trust Joe Biden. He is a known quantity. He served us in the Senate and was Vice President for two successive terms. Compared with his competition he is a rock solid senior statesman.
All the crazy talk about Joe being a socialist bent on destroying America melts in the light of reality. There has only been on dangerously radical President in the recently and it damn sure was not Joe Biden of Delaware. Hint - He is from New York.
Hint - He is from New York.
Funny how the flyover sycophants conveniently ignore that part.
Wait... He's from New York? But that's a liberal sh!thole.
So your defense is that it’s okay that the president is a serial liar because Americans trust him?
that’s the lesson kids, just make sure you are an exceptionally manipulative liar so you your victims believe you, than it’s okay to lie.
Do they? I don’t know if that’s true. I’m sure many Democrats trust him, but “most Americans?” And I guess my question would be why do they trust him given his long track record - going back to 1988 and before - of kinda makin shit up.
That’s the whole thing. Going up against Trump, the one thing the party wanted more than anything else was name recognition. In my opinion, there were better future presidents in the running, but the party got together and kicked them all to the curb.
Republicans say that about every Democratic candidate.
Biden has always been a centrist and reached a hand across the aisle.
"One in five Americans want to take their vote for Biden BACK: Poll shows 20% regret voting for him as president while his approval rating continues to drop."
Bullshit!
