“No man,” said Abraham Lincoln, “has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”
Sadly, that excellent piece of indisputable presidential wisdom hasn’t filtered down to the current occupant of the White House.
Joe Biden is a terrible liar in every sense; he lies on a terrible scale, and he’s terrible at lying.
And as much as I’d like to be kind to an old man and put his constant untrue statements down to memory issues caused by his advanced age and cognitive decline, it’s not because of that at all.
No, President Biden just likes to tell humongous self-promoting whoppers, again and again and again.
He’s done it his entire political life, and now he’s lying so often and so badly that even his most diehard uncritical supporters can’t excuse him anymore.
CNN, my former employer, has bent over into positions even the Kama Sutra hasn’t thought of in a concerted effort to paint Biden as a beacon of honesty sent to rescue America from fork-tongued Donald Trump.
But even CNN’s given up.
Last week, after Biden brazenly and shamefully lied about being at Ground Zero the day after 9/11, CNN’s fact-checker Daniel Dale unleashed a devastating critique that directly accused the president of having an “unfortunate pattern, at this point, of either inventing or embellishing stories about his own past, his biography — he did it three times in one speech last month alone!”
...
There were just two problems with Dale’s sudden come-to-veracity moment of awakening about Biden’s propensity for lying.
First, he couldn’t bring himself to use the word “lie” despite regularly calling Donald Trump a liar during his tenure as president.
Second, by using the qualifying words “at this point,” he suggests this is some new habit Biden’s only recently developed.

I can't help thinking of a loon like Peggy Noonan, because her stated reason for being anti-Trump is that he's a bad person. It has nothing to do with policy. That's bizarre in itself, since if someone's really a bad person, we would logically expect their policies to be bad. How does a bad person produce good policies?
While her insistence that Trump's a really bad man is strange in itself, there's no evidence that she regards Biden as a bad man. How do we explain that? I think she's clinical.
Another possibility is that she's lying about Trump's alleged badness as the reason why she opposes him. Maybe she's secretly focused on permitting trans "female" athletes to compete with real females. I'm starting to think it's something weird like that. Occam's razor.
Biden’s memory resets once a week, from the looks of it.
Danial Dale isn’t old enough to have all of Scranton Joe’s lies.
For me whatever bad I heard about DJT in the past has been completely negated by his absolute incredible sacrifice to try and save the United States of America.
Joe Biden was raised as a black Jewish Puerto Rican.

I think Joe’s befuddled enough to actually believe a lot of his own stories.
Joey has been telling Whoppers for more than 50 years. At what point did he become befuddled???
Seems he has been befuddled HIS ENTIRE LIFE!!!!
So Piers (you don’t need an assault rifle) Morgan buys a clue.

Joe is not a terrible liar — he is incapable of telling the truth even if he wanted to.

It must be genetic confusion. Yes that’s it. Genetic confusion. LOL

Peggy Noonan is an irrelevant member of the opinion page at WSJ. She’s been ridiculous for a while.

Exactly. She’s ridiculous, and has been for quite some time.
Au contraire!
Sloe Joe has got away with being a LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat his entire life!
This low life, LIEing, scumbag sonofabitch should have been retired to Delaware 50 years ago!
The country should be less concerned by his physical age but more with his integrity or with the lack of it.
