When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic, and the thing that happened was, Barack said to me, "Go to Detroit and help fix it!"

So, Joe Biden was vice president from 2009-2016. The pandemic began in 2020. I'm not some big-wig fact-checker like the ones on Facebook and Instagram, but I think the president is a little off on his timeline here.

Do you think he even knows what year it is?

Snopes will verify this as “mostly true”.

I’d like to see Joe try to draw a clock.

How did we end up with such a hollow shell? Trump won.

He does, but he’s addicted to sea stories. An excerpt from a Trump campaign press release:

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/trump-campaign-press-release-josephs-fables-joe-biden-claimed-he-came-from-family-coal
[Biden even plagiarized his family history.

16 years ago today, Joe Biden claimed he probably would have been elected president in 1988 if he hadn’t lied that he came from a family of coal miners, in a speech plagiarized almost word-for-word from British politician Neil Kinnock. In 2004, Biden admitted that he made it all up. “Turns out I didn’t have anybody in the coal mines, you know what I mean?” he laughed. “I tried that crap – it didn’t work.”

But in 2008, Biden shamelessly tried it again anyway, claiming that he himself had been a coal miner: “I hope you won’t hold it against me, but I am a hard-coal miner, anthracite coal, Scranton, Pennsylvania.” By 2012, he had revised his life story yet again: “My mom and dad weren’t poor. Barack [Obama] makes me sound like I climbed out of a coal mine in Scranton with a lunch bucket…. No one in my family worked in a factory.”

Given his plagiarism in law school, lies about marching in the civil rights movement and being shot at in Iraq, and false story about being arrested in South Africa, Biden’s tall tales about coal mining are just another chapter in Joseph’s Book of Fables.]

Could it be that under Obama, Joe actually WAS involved in “fixing” the pandemic?

My expectations of the NAACP and JoeBiden are realistically low, just as they are for Detroit, a city in perpetual “comeback” mode.

Burden is memory impaired. He didn’t even mention his stint as chief technology official during his time in Wakanda.

Where’s the video of Biden telling his gross errors to Katie Couric regarding the economic crash of 2008?

How ANYONE could believe a single thing that Joey says after seeing that video is beyond me.

I think he’s saying the quiet part out loud. Barrack is calling his shots.

In fairness, they were cooking up Covid in a lab back then so he got confused.

It was probably meant to be deployed in 2016 election but got behind schedule.

>>Got his dates and subject wrong…

Yes/No/Sorta/Maybe.

2009 was the H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemic out of China.

Hussein and Potato ended that pandemic in January of 2010 be ordering new cases and deaths not to be reported.

The Dems studied what happened and what went wrong to use lessons learned at a future date (2020).
