For all the screeching about how often Donald Trump lied, he can’t hold a candle to that lying sack of crap Joe Biden.
You know, it’s one thing for Joe Biden to exaggerate his life story. But this sack of crap doesn’t just spin fanciful tales about his acts of derring-do. No, not Joe Biden. He also makes provably, demonstrably false statements about the very economy we are all currently living through.
Yesterday, the decrepit old codger was in my neck of the woods speaking at Onondaga Community College, which could explain why I witnessed mothers frantically rushing their pre-pubescent daughters to safety.
And during his speech, Joe stood on that stage and told the audience that the price of gas when he took office was over $5 a gallon.
Can you believe this asshole?
I just checked the White House website to see if they edited his remarks the way they usually do to correct that flagrant lie.
They haven’t. It still says gas was over $5 a gallon when he took office.
Gas didn’t exceed $5 a gallon until this summer, a good 18 months after Joe Biden took office.
Oddly enough, the Washington Post’s resident fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who kept a running tally of all of Trump’s lies and exaggerations, hasn’t said a word about this latest monstrous lie from that sack of crap Biden.
Not that we need a supposed fact-checker to do that. Everybody who either buys gas or drives past a gas station is fully aware that gas prices were far lower when Joe took office than they are today. We all sure as hell know gas wasn’t over $5 a gallon.
Why lie about something every sentient human being knows is a lie?
Joe can spin his fanciful tales of getting arrested while trying to see Nelson Mandela or brokering peace between Egypt and Israel during the 6-Day War. And those lies take some time and research to fact-check.
But lying about the price of gas to people who have to pay for gas isn’t just idiotic. It also shows a craven and cynical disregard for reality.
It wasn’t the only thing he lied about yesterday.
In addition to boasting about the price of gas, Biden also claimed inflation is down and real incomes are up.
In the absence of fact-checkers, media reporter Joe Concha noted the facts on Twitter:
“Inflation when taking office: 1.4%; Now: 8.3%; Wages not keeping up with inflation; Price of gas when taking office: $2.39, currently $3.84. The audacity is truly something to behold as fact-checkers continue their 22-month Spring Break.”
And it is audacious, isn’t it?
This sack of crap burps out such mendacious lies, it’s a wonder he doesn’t get struck by lightning every time he opens his mouth.
Is it that Joe’s brain has dissolved into mush to the point where he doesn’t know what’s going on in the world around him?
National Review writer Dan McLaughlin observed, “It’s hard by now to tell Biden’s lies from Biden’s inability to know what he’s talking about.”
As I said in my column “Fiction Creep,” Joe Biden is an inveterate liar.
He’s been bullshitting his way through public life since he arrived in Washington a half-century ago.
But to lie about what Americans are experiencing daily in his bungled economy? Good heavens, that beggars belief.
