IIRC.....The only way the government “helped” bring in telephones was to TAX them for the Spanish-American War.
He went full Biden. Never go full Biden.

May 10: President Hayes has First Telephone Installed in the White House
By John Merrill
Lucy and Rutherford B. Hayes
In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell was awarded the first U.S. Patent for the telephone. A year later the sitting President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, who was born in Delaware, Ohio, installed this new technology in the White House’s telegraph room. Several years earlier, Hayes first used a telephone in a call to its inventor, after which the future president was quoted to have said:
“It’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?”
With such a new invention that was not widely accepted, one might wonder who President Hayes wanted to call or who would be calling him? In May of 1876 the only other number in Washington was to the Treasury Department. It would take a while before the first telephone exchange would be created. The White House phone number was #1.
It would take another 50 years before the telephone actually became a regular feature of the President’s desk when President Hoover had one installed in the Oval Office.
That’s an insult to senile people.
Joe’s an idiot. Always has been.
Joe is completely off the wagon.
Herbert Hoover was president when the stock market crashed so he got that wrong too. FDR was still three years in the future.
But the worst, the very worst thing was to lie to that Gold Star mother, telling her he brought Beau home in a casket. Big fat lie. If Trump told lies like that it would be breaking news for days or weeks. But not a peep from the propagandists at the alphabet networks about Biden.
The cheese slid off the cracker a long time ago. But he’s a useful idiot for the Left. They’ve pretty much gotten everything they’ve wanted on his watch.
Not that he was any great prize but slightly better.
Oh McKinley! If only your doctors had not been putzs!
Aw, I’ve got it. “Trippin’ Joe”. That’s it. That’s exactly who he is.
You got that right and the boy is so evil and insane that everyone is afraid to stop him. He could execute every soul in Texas and nobody would GAS. He’s a pedophile prima donna.
“Back in Okinawa, when I was a cable installer, I remember helping Sputnik scientists discover Antarctica. We were all riding sandworms down Hollywood Boulevard on the Jupiter moon of Ganymede, and suddenly a big shoe began harassing us and calling us Plebian Architects. Well obviously, I wasn’t having any of THAT, so I drew a chain link fence on the hindquarters of a plenary Compsognathus and stole it’s earring! Well, you have never seen such a mess! There were transistors and coffee cups EVERYWHERE. But I won a piñata, and wore a spangenhelm with a big meatball on my clavicle, and I proved that my bishop was a bouncing sign from Orlando!”
You are forgetting “the strawberries”.
Ah...
The strawberries.....
There once was a woman from Macon,
Who cooked me fifteen pounds of bacon,
She said “this much grease,
will make you deceased,
Or at least get your tummy to achin’.”
That poem is so beautiful that it made me cry a little.
Obama was a very accomplished liar but he did know he was lying. Biden believes his own lies. He has told his lies so often they become a reality to him.
