Joe Biden’s Political Origin Story Is Almost Certainly Bogus. It May Land Him In Legal Trouble.
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 25, 2024 | Joseph Simonson and Andrew Kerr

For nearly two decades, President Joe Biden has told a story about why he devoted his life to politics. He repeated the tale, at the risk of facing criminal charges for lying to a federal agent, while speaking to Special Counsel Robert Hur in October 2023.

I think the modern essence of politics is just to “say stuff”. It has to sound good. Your accomplishments have to be remarkable. Your opponent has to be an evil extremist. None of this has to be true in the slightest. Just get out there and sling some stories to impress the crowds.

That’s all there is to it. Governing affairs, managing budgets, solving problems — none of that matters in the slightest. Don’t even try to do that stuff. No one cares. It doesn’t matter. Just “say stuff” and get yourself on the TV news. End of story.

Biden has been a lying sack of Sh!t his ENTIRE LIFE.

Why would this one “tall tale” carry any more threat to him than the thousands of others he spews regularly?

Biden is a PROVEN LIAR and NOTHING will ever be done about it!!

He was speaking to a Justice Department official during a criminal investigation. Scooter Libby and General Flynn were indicted for much, much less obvious, and obviously deliberate misstatements.

Sadly that is probably true.

Our founding fathers built a government that expected men to act honorably and to cast out those that did not.

Today our government acts dishonorably and those that do act honorably are vilified and cast.out.

WSJ——a butt kissing Biden donor said: “Biden is a better president because of his age and experience, not despite his age and wisdom and experience.”

Right. Biden’s "experience" resigning presidential races will come in handy.

Biden resigns the 1987 presidential race, caught plagiarizing a UK leader's speech...word-for-word.

1968? Vague recollection of that year and an M-16. No idea why just that I finished college.

Well...

Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Joe Biden...man for ALL seasons!

At one time, Joe was against Roe vs Wade.

Snip
1974, he told a reporter that “when it comes to issues like abortion ... I’m about as liberal as your grandmother. I don’t like the [Roe v. Wade] decision on abortion.
I think it went too far.
I don’t think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body.”
In 1981, he voted for a constitutional amendment that would let states overturn Roe v. Wade.

Thanks for the recommendation.
But isn’t the fix in?
Or does the article tell us that it is not fixed?

(I think the modern essence of politics is just to “say stuff”.)

I have never thought of it that way, BUT you are 100% right.

As some on FR occasionally says, I’m stealing that line.

Thanks for your input.

I noticed this at the very end of the article:

***Update 8:33 a.m.: This piece has been updated to reflect that Biden was not under oath while speaking to Hur, but could still face criminal charges for lying to a federal agent.***

Oh, so now Biden might face charges for lying to a federal agent? The same (former) federal agent that wouldn’t bring charges against Joe because a jury would likely find him not guilty because he is a doddering grandpa man with a poor memory?

LOLOLOLOL
