Facebook fact-checker PolitiFact played the role of the village idiot by fact-checking an Instagram post that dared to slam the Biden White House for redefining the word “recession.”

‘False’ that Biden White House Redefined ‘Recession’
Why false? Biden/Obama and the Left are redefining everything else including what and man and a woman are.

They need a “panties on fire” warning that is placed over this statement.
Dear Leader is above reproach. Always.
Most of these so called Fart Checkers are America-hating foreigners wanting to get involved in American politics. I just blow that scum off. Everybody else should. Who died and put those ***holes in charge?
Of course, that was back when things were stated simply, nobody would believe that Lia Thomas is a girl, and other basic rules of life. Things have changed since then.

For the rest of us, feeling it, it’s a recession with inflation.
When I was getting my accounting degree there was a joke circulating about the cost of various brains for a brain transplant. The proposed recipient was told a lawyer’s brain was $5,000; an accountants brain was $10,000 and an economists brain was $100,000. Wow! Why so much for the economists brain? The recipient asked. Because it’s never been used was the reply.
Biden didn’t redefine the definition of recession, he merely

They’re playing word games. “The WHITE HOUSE didn’t change the definition” (Because the white house doesn’t state what the definition is. That’s up to someone else. Wikipedia changed it, the dictionaries changed it etc. So, THE WHITE HOUSE didn’t change it.
It’s all BS word games.
