President Biden Governs Through Obvious, Ham-Fisted Lies
Biden’s most recently revealed Afghanistan lie is just the latest in a string of outright falsehoods and deceptions the White House is resorting to in the face of failure.
Hardly a day passes anymore that President Joe Biden or members of his administration do not stand before the American people and lie through their teeth.
The latest lie to be exposed came Tuesday, when Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he advised Biden to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan , and that withdrawing them “would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually, the Afghan government.” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley said he told Biden the same thing.
The generals’ testimony flatly contradicts Biden’s claim in an August 19 interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News that none of his military advisors told him to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, or ever warned him that withdrawing those troops would trigger the collapse of the Afghan military and government. Here is how the exchange went:
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told — your military advisors did not tell you, ‘No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It’s been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that’?
So either Biden was lying or he simply cannot remember what his top military advisors told him about one of the most important decisions of his presidency. Admittedly, the president is slipping in his old age and often seems confused, but the most straightforward explanation here is that he was deliberately lying to Stephanopoulos about what his generals advised.
During the Trump administration, the corporate press embraced the idea that Trump was always lying about everything, that he could not string together two sentences without inserting some falsehood or deception. Media coverage of Trump was premised on this assumption, even for serious matters like the development of the COVID-19 vaccines.
But Trump’s dishonesty now seems quaint compared to Biden’s. Under Biden, lies have become so commonplace and casual, they constitute a mode of governance for an administration that has proven to be hopelessly out of its depth on every major issue and profoundly incompetent in the face of every crisis. If the stakes were not so high, the abject lying — and the media’s willingness to go along with it — would be comical.
Often, the lies are obvious, like when Biden said last week that mounted Border Patrol agents in Del Rio, Texas, were “running over” Haitians migrants and “strapping” or whipping them with their reins, a false claim that was repeated over and over by the press and administration officials after photos of a horse patrol confronting illegal immigrants appeared on social media.
Before Biden even repeated this smear, along with a vile threat that the Border Patrol agents involved “will pay,” the whole story had been proven to be a complete fiction. The agents did not whip or strike anyone. In fact, they did exactly as they are trained to do, using their reins to control the horses and maintain a safe distance between horse and pedestrian.
The photographer who took the viral photos later confirmed he never saw the mounted Border Patrol agents strike anyone , and subsequent video footage of the incident should have settled the matter definitively. Instead of slandering and threatening the agents, the president should have come out and apologized to them profusely.
But Biden appears to be incapable of not lying all the time, even when his abject dishonesty is an insult to the intelligence of every American. It is simply pervasive.
Consider the idiotic lie Biden was peddling last week, that his $3.5 trillion climate change and welfare bill would actually cost zero dollars . White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who is terrible at her job in part because she’s such a clumsy and unconvincing liar, went on to repeat the “zero dollars” false claim on Monday .
What all these lies obscure is rank incompetence on the part of the Biden administration. From the southwest border to Afghanistan to the pandemic response, every crisis that comes along has been bungled by this White House, and in every case the default response of Biden’s team is to lie about what is happening and why.
That is how you get hundreds of Americans left behind in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan after the Biden administration spent weeks claiming it would not leave until every American who wanted to leave was safely evacuated. Specifically, Biden said on August 18 that if there were still U.S. citizens in Afghanistan on the Aug. 31 deadline who wanted to leave, “We’re gonna stay to get them all out.”
We did not, and it seems clear in retrospect that Biden had no intention of leaving any U.S. troops in Afghanistan after Aug. 31, no matter how many Americans would be stranded behind enemy lines as a result.
What we can conclude from this pattern of deception is simply that Biden does not feel the need to give straight answers about any decision he makes or policy he enacts. He will not be honest about what his advisors tell him or about what he intends to do on any given issue.
Above all, Biden has made it clear, through an unrelenting fusillade of lies, that he does not consider himself to be the least bit accountable to the American people, does not think ordinary rules and norms apply to his administration, and does not think he owes anyone an honest word about anything that happens on his watch.
He has decided, that is, to govern by lies. The least we can do, at this point, is be honest about that.

This happened just about a an hour ago in the House Committee meeting on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Yesterday a few of the Republicans made a big stink about Biden being advised by military officials to keep 2500 troops in Afghanistan and alleged Biden lied about it to ABC News George Stephanopolous.
Today that ploy blew up in the Republicans face
Democratic House Committee Chairman : Since the transcript was submitted for the record we read through this kind of quick , but Mr. Stephanopolous says
GS : Your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline, they wanted you to keep about 2500 troops -
President Biden : No they didnt , it was split.
Thats what the President said, he didnt say "no nobody advised me", he said "it was split".
and then Stephanopolous says
GS: No one says "we should keep 2500 troops, its been a stable situation for the last several years, we can do that, we can continue to do that" ?
President Biden : No one said that to me.
The kindest thing you could say about the Republicans is that they deliberately mischaracterized what Biden said to Stephanopolous. That is the kindest thing you could say. The more accurate thing would be that they were lying, in a committee hearing, to try and discredit the president.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.
BIDEN: No, they didn't. It was split. Tha-- that wasn't true. That wasn't true.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They didn't tell you that they wanted troops to stay?
BIDEN: No. Not at -- not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn't argue against that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told -- your military advisors did not tell you, "No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that"?
BIDEN: No. No one said that to me that I can recall. Look, George, the reason why it's been stable for a year is because the last president said, "We're leaving. And here's the deal I wanna make with you, Taliban. We're agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us between now and the time we leave on May the 1st."

Democrats are the party of death, debt, and debauchery. Perhaps tomorrow I will seed Cal Thomas latest article by that very title from the Washington Times..,
Perhaps it is past time to 'check in' with the handlers to re-orient the message into platforms more plausible and on point with the outcomes desired.
Biden is always checking in with his handlers both progressive and Chinese, but has yet to re orient his message to reflect either truth or common sense.
You insinuate that the Chinese are progressive? Uh--------------------stop it.
I said no such thing. I simply said that both groups are among Bidens handlers. They are both fascists though. That is their common ground and Bidens too.
Feigning terrified? Or--------Fidesz?
Not remotely terrified. I just hold both and their supporters in sheer and utter contempt. I’m all in on the all out resistance to the regime and it’s actions.
Then it is Fidesz, right? Orban's playbook.
Poland and Hungary have two of the best governments in Europe.

... if you approve of fascism and anti-Semitism.
You and your dirtbag , far right, crackpot sources are the liars.
Biden is the congenital liar here.
The Federalist is a mainstream conservative opinion publication and site.
XX, I will give you a chance. Go look up the statements and questions made about this yesterday at the Senate hearing, where numerous Republican senators accused Biden of lying to Stephanopoulos about the 2500 troops, and show me which one or ones of those Republican senators used the words "It was split" as a quote from Biden regarding the advice he got from the military.
Stephanopoulos asked Biden about the advice on keeping troops there and Biden said "it was split" , meaning the advice.
So show me which or one or ones of the Republican senators yesterday included that when they were talking about Bidens reply.
Key word there. OPINION.

Was there any attempt to say otherwise?

Cowardly lyin' Biden dodges questions about his record of radical failure | Washington Examiner
He can’t deny that he and his policies are total failures.
Sorry G, I used to read their crp, no matter how biased, but now I get paywall BS from them, so there must be a market for
partisan "journalism" that's only a fraction above Geller or Breitbart nonsense.
I'm sorry about that, I haven't had that problem. Perhaps after I've visited some more it will kick in.
No problembo Greg. WaPo is also paywalled.
However i was able to gab a bit of it off of Twitter dated April 26,2021
There was the hint of a return to normal frequency of politicians "lying", dont you think?
Not at all what the headline implies...
Breitbart is a great news source. One of the best and most reliable news sources available.
Oh they played their hand for ALLL to see haha. Rookies.
"To see people treated like they did? Horses running them over? People being strapped? It's outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay."
Biden and his lackeys lie as a matter of course. There's a reason his staff's main job is to keep him from talking to the press.
Biden has been liar since he stepped into the public eye. . He lies about his grades, his sporting accomplishments, his votes, his jobs, his family, legislation, his activism as a youth and an adult. The man was willing to stoop to claiming his wife and child were killed by a drunk driver as a talking point. He's heroically dishonest.
Biden himself is a terrible lie foisted off upon we the people.
