The list is great.

I wish it had elaborated beyond “falsefalse” to prove WHY the statements were wrong, i.e., the truth about each lie. We ourselves know, but if telling a lib, a strong fact to refute would be handy. (Not that they’d believe it.)

Joe is dishonest by nature. His father was a used car salesman after all.

Dishonest people don't get honest over time. They get more dishonest.

And when they enter their dotage, the truth about them comes out.

As an aside, I was a caregiver for my elderly parents. You really learn about a person's character when they get really, really old. In my case, I came to love my parents more than ever because I finally saw them for exactly who they were.

Unfortunately for Joe, he isn't so lovable...and he is on view for everyone to see.

Oddly enough, having Joe as president when he is really, really old is backfiring on the Democrats because we see Joe and those who forced him on us for exactly what they are.

They thought they were pulling a fast one when, ironically, they were just exposing their true selves...hanging their dirty laundry on Joe, if you will, and marching him out for all to see.

"We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean." falsefalse By Sofia Bliss-Carrascosa • June 22, 2023

Okay, Joe, why would we (the United States) want to do that?

Plan all you want you have to get the congress appropriate the money to do such a moronic project.

The most idiotic thing is the the Democrat voters believe it and the Democrat MSM does not call him out on it.

Lucky for Biden most of the 'reporters' at the New York Times and Washington Post are stupid, bimbo's or freaky scared pretentious 'men' who fear their DNC war room packets will stop coming... and they'll be left looking stupid.

If a Republican made these types of comments, the corrupt stupid press would be all over them.
