Hi cal,  Its too bad how much recent presidential politics has degenerated into a mud throwing contest.     -but-    I am looking at the clearest most proven facts and lies out there.

And that liar award goes clearly toward Mr Donald Trump political,  1/6,  his big lie,     MAGA, business,  personal  he wins it going away.   Hopefully  this will be even clearer as we come up to the November 2024 election.   

Now the Joe Biden and the democrats in 2016, 2020 aren't blameless  but again Trump takes it ....... even fellow Republicans have turned away from his  "MAGA circus".

Hopefully both sides will try to clean their acts up in 2024 and beyond.   

I used to really like presidential politics,  I just try to tolerate it now.   And do remember our state and local politics are important too.

And  GO BROWNS !     Lets stay local there.     ?

President Joe Biden’s endless stream of lies

President Joe Biden speaks about gas prices and oil companies profits, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Monday, Oct. 31, 2022, in Washington, as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, left, and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm listen. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

By The Editorial Board | [email protected] |

PUBLISHED: February 1, 2023 at 8:48 a.m. | UPDATED: February 1, 2023 at 8:48 a.m.

Joseph Biden has been a notorious fabulist, which is to say, a well-documented liar even by the standard of fellow politicians, since long before Congressman George Santos was ever born. Santos was born in 1988, the same year as the presidential election Biden dropped out of due to a plagiarism scandal. Unfortunately for the American people, this is a reputation that Biden has reinforced as president.

Last week, President Biden gave a speech on the state of the American economy. He evidently kept the fact-checkers at CNN busy.

Among the examples singled out by CNN’s Daniel Dale was President Biden’s claim that, “Last year, we funded 700,000 major construction projects — 700,000 all across America. From highways to airports to bridges to tunnels to broadband.”

Calling this claim “wildly inaccurate,” Dale notes the president added two extra zeros to the correct number.

Biden also touted a $2,000 annual cap on prescription drugs for Medicare recipients, “now in effect,”  recipients that won’t come into effect for another two years.

Biden also took a shot at President Donald Trump by falsely asserting that only 3.5 million Americans “even had their first [COVID] vaccination, because the other guy and the other team didn’t think it mattered a whole lot.”

In fact, by the time Trump left office in January 2021, 19 million Americans had in fact received their first vaccine.

As a sidebar, it’s particularly ironic that President Biden would take shots at President Trump over the COVID vaccine given that both Biden and  Vice President Kamala Harris contributed to vaccine skepticism.

In September 2020, the Washington Post reported that then-candidate Biden, “expressed reservations about whether a coronavirus vaccine approved by the Trump administration would be safe, raising doubts about the president’s ability to put the health of Americans before politics.”

Back to the speech last Thursday, Biden also falsely asserted that America’s billionaires “pay virtually only 3% of their income now – 3%, they pay” in taxes.

Afterward, the White House revised the figure to 8%, though that, too, is misleadingly citing a figure counting unrealized capital gains.

Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, is quoted by CNN as saying the figures are “way too low,” citing a 2019 paper by UC Berkeley economists indicating that the top 400 households in the country paid an effective tax rate of 23%.

Alas, President Biden’s devotion to class warfare rhetoric trumps his clearly limited commitment to honestly communicating with the American people.

Lying Joe Biden is unfit to save the ‘soul of the nation’

President Biden is going to deliver a prime-time speech Thursday on what the White House calls the “battle for the soul of the nation.”

It’s a timely topic with rich possibilities, but none richer than the notion that the Big Guy is qualified to address America’s soul. Unless he’s going to confess how his family made millions by selling access to foreign governments and Communist oligarchs, Biden will be stuck spinning a web of fiction.

No problem there because fiction is what he’s good at. He has a gift for playing make-believe.

All politicians lie, but Biden doesn’t stop there. He’s a proven plagiarist, a fabulist, always the hero of his own stories, the Walter Mitty of American politics!

Never mind that on his watch and under his policies, America has gotten more violent, more expensive and more pessimistic. The world smells weakness and when our enemies say the United States is in decline, it’s hard to argue otherwise.

I think we need to keep things in perspective, I don’t really care about Trump (or any other FORMER high ranking politician) telling lies.

Its water under the bridge at this point, but the CURRENT President lying?

E Jean Carroll’s lawyers have formally asked to amend her remaining defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump to include remarks made by the former president at a CNN town hall.

We are supposed to be in the start of another presidential. -2024-  election season  but  it's already sliding back into the new style of mudslinging and name-calling politics right out of the box.   To bad we can't just debate the facts instead.

So get ready for 17 more months of playing   "gotcha"    just get your fact checkers ready to go in high gear.  

And if you do not like the True answers just  YELL  "FAKE NEWS"  over and over again.   It's been around now for over a decade,  the author of that was who ?  Remember him ?  Don't hear too much about him now even though he came out with a whole strategy on how to do it.

Hint:

Steve Bannon

Former White House Chief Strategist

Stephen Kevin Bannon is an American media executive, political strategist, and former investment banker. He served as the White House's chief strategist in the administration of U.S. president Donald Trump during the first seven months of Trump's term. 

Smart guy, Harvard grad, 

Legal problems 4 years ? Or 4 months ?   $480,000 in fines, and on it goes.

 

ALSO remember Roger Stone, Rudy Guilanio, and a host of lawyers who resigned from Donald Trump. 

This is the root of today's Donald J Trump style of mean attack style election politics.

 

And feel free to fact check even though most of this has been dead and buried   ........  but it's still there.

Have a nice day.

Can't debate facts because the media doesn't allow Trump to talk, and Bidens handlers don't allow him to talk.

Fact check our economy, border(flood of illegals), division, more crime, Afghanistan withdrawal, Covid garbage, massive debt all the while forking out cash to other countries, criminal son involved in corruption, gas prices, gov't over reach in banning or making strict EPA rules on vehicles and appliances, energy costs and inflation.

Please keep making a childish complaint about being mean, which if you actually seen him relate to people is the opposite. Can he be an ass, sure, but we're all assholes. At least my grocery bills weren't nearly tripled back then.

OMG... 50% pure delusion. I'll grant you the problems at the border, but that's about it. 

1) If you 1\2 pay attention Trump does nothing BUT talk on his Truth Social... 

2) In case you missed it, Trump set the deal for Afghanistan withdrawal with the Taliban. 

3) Maybe you'd prefer DJT's big pal Putinski to take over Ukraine- (which he already would have if it hadn't been for USA weapons and $$$) and BTW- should that happen Vlad isn't stopping there. 

4) I wouldn't call 1,000,000 covid deaths "garbage". "It will be gone by Easter"... didn't mention which Easter.    

5) Aw, Donnie increased the national debt plenty with his massive tax cuts. 

6) I'll let you look up how much Donnie Jr. got from the Saudis.

7) The president has near zero control over gas prices. They were dirt cheap during covid because no one was driving anywhere. Supply and demand. Biden even tapped the Strategic Reserve when gas prices skyrocketed- didn't help much, because a lot of wells were capped as unprofitable when crude prices tanked. 

? Childish? That describes Donald Trump to a T.   I mistakenly thought he'd grow up once he became POTUS, boy was I ever wrong there. He is who he is. I prefer politicians who act like adults, not grade school bullies. Trump's mental issues alone should keep him from ever holding public office again. Not even counting several big time criminal issues he's being investigated for. Please- his "I never did anything" wrong is pure bullshit. 

Finally, no idea how old you are- but take it from this oldster, inflation is cyclical. Wasn't that long ago inflation topped 10%- twice. If you don't believe me, take a look at annual inflation rates going back 60-70 years. You're living in a fairy tale world if you somehow think Trump was solely responsible for low inflation.

• The United States is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world.
• Natural gas production reached a record-high of 34.9 quads in 2019, following record high production in 2018 and in 2017.
• The United States has been a net natural gas exporter for three consecutive years and has an export capacity of nearly 10 billion cubic feet per day.
• Withdrew from the unfair, one-sided Paris Climate Agreement.
• Canceled the previous administration’s Clean Power Plan, and replaced it with the new Affordable Clean Energy rule.

OMG... 50% pure delusion. I'll grant you the problems at the border, but that's about it. 

1) If you 1\2 pay attention Trump does nothing BUT talk on his Truth Social... 

2) In case you missed it, Trump set the deal for Afghanistan withdrawal with the Taliban. 

3) Maybe you'd prefer DJT's big pal Putinski to take over Ukraine- (which he already would have if it hadn't been for USA weapons and $$$) and BTW- should that happen Vlad isn't stopping there. 

4) I wouldn't call 1,000,000 covid deaths "garbage". "It will be gone by Easter"... didn't mention which Easter.    

5) Aw, Donnie increased the national debt plenty with his massive tax cuts. 

6) I'll let you look up how much Donnie Jr. got from the Saudis.

7) The president has near zero control over gas prices. They were dirt cheap during covid because no one was driving anywhere. Supply and demand. Biden even tapped the Strategic Reserve when gas prices skyrocketed- didn't help much, because a lot of wells were capped as unprofitable when crude prices tanked. 

? Childish? That describes Donald Trump to a T.   I mistakenly thought he'd grow up once he became POTUS, boy was I ever wrong there. He is who he is. I prefer politicians who act like adults, not grade school bullies. Trump's mental issues alone should keep him from ever holding public office again. Not even counting several big time criminal issues he's being investigated for. Please- his "I never did anything" wrong is pure bullshit. 

Finally, no idea how old you are- but take it from this oldster, inflation is cyclical. Wasn't that long ago inflation topped 10%- twice. If you don't believe me, take a look at annual inflation rates going back 60-70 years. You're living in a fairy tale world if you somehow think Trump was solely responsible for low inflation.  

How much more have you been paying for a bottle of wine lately? ?
