Yes, sadly.

Right. A good half of the country won’t say, “Another filthy lie by Joe Biden.”
Instead they’ll say, “This shows that Joe Biden always fought for civil rights.”
It’s not so much that half of the country is stupid. It’s more that the mainstream press will only tell them what the Democrats want them to hear.
Joe Bribden reminds me of a relative who would lie to you knowing YOU know they are lying AND they know that you know they’re lying - but they go ahead and lie to you anyway!
I’m trying
At least ‘bullshit’ is sometimes believable.
Biden ain’t ever....................
Biden didn’t become a senator until 1973
That Corn Pop was a bad dude.
Pathological liars like this are generally losers in life who make sh!t up about their “accomplishments” because they know they don’t have any … and it bothers the hell out of them to the point where it boils as an inner rage.
“I was able to — literally, not figuratively — talk Strom Thurmond
into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died,” Biden bragged.
While Thurmond and Biden were contemporaries in the Senate,
the president would have been 21 at the time of the legislation’s passing.
His drooling dream of getting a Senate seat was facilitated
by Delaware’s crooked politics when Biden was 29 years old.
Thurmond died in June 2003 — nearly four decades
after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
> Boy Howdy, Joe’s silver (forked) tongue was as persuasive in 1963 as it is today. <
I heard that Biden also convinced Emperor Hirohito to surrender in 1945. That’s quite remarkable, given that Joe was only two years old at the time.
“Biden just makes sh*t up off the top of his head without even considering plausibility. And it’s not because he’s senile. He has always done this.”
Absolutely correct.
However, I still have a hard time figuring out what’s worse - a congenital liar like Biden OR a media that refuses to call him out on it?
Wasn’t it Ronald Reagan who said we are always one generation away from losing our freedom?
He also convinced Charles Lindbergh to become a rabid interventionist.
There was a Civil Rights Act in 1991 that Thurmond did vote for- it was proposed by John Danforth and signed into law by George H.W. Bush. And while it shares a title with the 1964 law, it really wasn’t much of a landmark law, it primarily created a special class for women, and was not considered to be much of a change in racial politics. So, while Biden might have been referring to the 1991 law, he omits the date, and any other qualifier because he wants to appear to be more important. Considering that the bill was sponsored by a Republican, signed into law by a Republican, and passed with 93 votes, I don’t think Biden had to do much cajoling to get Thurmond to climb aboard.
You make a great point! LOL
Yes, he recognized that freedom is a fragile thing, as did the Founding Fathers (e.g., Franklin: “a republic if you can keep it”).
Absolutely right. They actually come to believe their own exaggerations and lies.
Which would be all well and good IF any of the congressional repukelicants had a gonad amongst 'em.
But they don't.
Why is he talking about this? It’s relatively small potatoes. He should be reminding people how he persuaded Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
