President Biden claimed Thursday that first lady Jill Biden once bitterly snapped at him over his ranking as the “poorest man in Congress” — calling it a “true story” even though it’s unclear if he ever actually earned the superlative.

Biden, who moved into a 10,000-square-foot former DuPont family mansion in 1974 — one year after joining the Senate — told the tale during a New Mexico event focused on his plans to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt per borrower.

The president said that his late son Beau “ended up with [student] debt because I had the dubious distinction of being listed as the poorest man in Congress.”

Jo Jo must be spending all the big bucks on ice cream and “pony” rides without telling Doctor Jill about it.

He’s like one of those guys you meet on occasion who just spin the biggest fish stories ever. You just nod but your BS alarm is flashing big time.

“True story” is a tell. I’d love to play poker with Biden.

Only because he couldn’t legally report all his income.

If by “Poorest” Jilly meant “STUPIDIST” then in my opinion she was Spot On!!

Biden’s income and real estate purchases like the DuPont mansion have always been fishy.

Before that, he got a sweetheart deal from MBNA on the previous deal with his first wife. After the “DuPont Mansion” house, which was another sweetheart deal for changing bankruptcy laws in favor of the banks, he got his present home on a private lake.

No telling where he got the money for the beach house.

True story. No joke. No kiddin’. No foolin’. Not makin’ this up. Sweartagod. My word as a Biden.

You can’t walk away from a Biden speech sober if you play Biden Buzzword Bingo with shots.

There is nothing Biden will not lie about.

Older Freepers may remember the “lying guy” (Jon Lovitz playing Tommy Flanagan) on Saturday Night Live back when it was funny. His stories, which lied about how successful he was, often (always?) ended up with him being married to Morgan Fairchild. Flanagan has nothing on Biden.

How come every one is looking at this statement as financial?

“...poorest man in Congress..”

This might have been aimed at his being just the poorest man and not his wallet. I would have to agree with this.

Don’t all the DC vermin, I mean politicians, have numbered accounts in places like ———

People interested in protecting their identity usually consider banking options in Luxembourg, Monaco, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ireland, Lebanon, the Cayman Islands, and, maybe most famously, in Switzerland. These countries are known for the secrecy and security of their banks.——Latest list.

A meme was going around with photos Tommy Flanagan, Joe Isuzu, and Joe Biden with the caption asking: Which do you trust more?
