President Joe Biden told Polish President Andrzej Duda that he wanted to add a 'ski' to his last name as a kid, because he grew up surrounded by so many Polish immigrants.

...

'I was born in a coal town of Scranton... When coal died, we moved to a town called Claymont, which was a working-class town, everybody in town was either Polish or Italian,' Biden said. 'I grew up feeling self-conscious that my name didn't end in an "ski" or an "o."'

This crap is being written for him by some very mentally disturbed individuals.

I thought you spelled it “ tobaggon” on purpose. It was a clever misspelling.

I was tempted to claim that, but then I remembered I'm not a Democrat.

How fitting it would be for a politician’s name to sound like “Buttinski”.

he makes up so many stories. He obviously has dementia

That’s where you’re wrong. SleepyJ has ALWAYS been a total LIAR. The only difference now is that as President his lies are now so out in the open that the fake news can’t always cover for him as they have throughout his career.

The only thing about SleepyJ that has changed due to his dementia is his inability to complete a sentence. He used to be able to articulate his lies with ease. Now, he struggles to complete a sentence, and often fails to do so.

I am thinking that Biden is giving Bill Clinton a run for his money over which of them is the bigger liar.

I think Biden wins for overall number and ridiculousness of his lies; but, Clinton will lie even when the truth wouldn't hurt him in any way -- the lie is his go-to place no matter what. Tough call on which is worse.

So I presume Biden will support returning the former Polish parts of Belarus and Ukraine to Poland?

“’I grew up feeling self-conscious that my name didn’t end in an “ski” or an “o.”’”

Poor young Joe was traumatized by the ethnic inequity in his own hometown and he now suffers from PMS (”Poor Me” Syndrome)!

Does anyone know why they add “ski” to their last names?

Because they couldn’t spell toboggan.
