Hes telling it to US service members stationed in Japan…
Jesus, did he really fucking say that? It's the kind of statement that makes you want to go personally teach history to every young American
if read the article but use Biden for Trump and Trump for Biden sounds just like something Biden had said during his four years
might just be that seniors that refuse to retire and allow a change of guard just all sound the same
How many times did biden falsely claim he won an election?
my comment was about how both sound like seniors refusing to step down and are holding back progress by doing such which is why seniors get put up as president
easier to control the narrative that way
Fact-checkers and news organizations have documented false and misleading statements made by President Joe Biden on a range of topics. These claims have been made during public speeches, interviews, and on the campaign trail.
Economy and inflation
Inflation rate: On several occasions, Biden has claimed to have inherited a high inflation rate of around 9% from the previous administration. In fact, when he took office in January 2021, the inflation rate was 1.4% and did not peak at 9% until June 2022.
Deficit reduction: Biden has repeatedly stated that he cut the federal deficit by over $1 trillion. While the annual deficit did drop significantly, analysts have noted that this was mainly due to the expiration of temporary pandemic-related spending, rather than the effects of Biden's policies alone. Many of his actions have increased, not decreased, the deficit.
Corporate taxes: Biden has falsely claimed that after he signed the Inflation Reduction Act, no large, profitable corporations would pay zero federal income taxes. The new 15% corporate minimum tax only applies to companies with at least $1 billion in annual income, leaving many large firms unaffected.
Billionaires' tax rate: He has cited a figure of 8.3% as the average federal tax rate for billionaires. Fact-checkers note that this figure is misleading because it is based on an alternative calculation that includes unrealized capital gains, which are not currently taxable income.
Personal biography
Uncle Ambrose Finnegan: Biden has told a story that his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was shot down over New Guinea during World War II and that his body was never recovered because it landed in an area with cannibals. The official Defense Department account states that Finnegan's plane crashed into the ocean due to mechanical failure, not from being shot down, and there is no mention of cannibalism.
Driving a truck: Biden has falsely claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck. While he did ride in one, a commercial driver's license was never in his name.
Amtrak story: He has repeatedly told a story about an Amtrak conductor named Angelo Negri who congratulated him on his travel mileage. However, Negri had retired and passed away before the recounted conversation could have taken place.
Youngest Senator: Biden has claimed to be the second-youngest person ever elected to the Senate. He was actually the sixth-youngest at the time of his election.
Visits to Iraq and Afghanistan: Biden has overstated the number of times he visited Iraq and Afghanistan as a senator and vice president, claiming figures higher than those his own campaign provided.
Other claims
Israel and weapons: In a July 2024 interview, Biden made several false claims about the provision of weapons to Israel, including stating that he was only withholding one type of bomb. In fact, his administration had withheld a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs, but he has made other, often contradictory, statements on the matter.
China's population: In April 2024, Biden claimed that China has more people in retirement than working. This is false, as statistics show China has more than double the number of working-age people compared to its senior population.
US southern border: In July 2024, Biden misleadingly claimed that the number of US encounters with migrants at the southern border was at its lowest point since he took office. While encounters had recently dropped, the numbers were much lower during the majority of the previous administration.
I think this is just a glimpse into this person's constant cognitive dissonance, with their brain doing everything it can to try to justify voting for a literal fascist who is bulldozing the white house and murdering fisherman in South America.
Sucks man, but maybe you should have actually listened to everyone trying to warn you.
The damage is done. You need to accept your role in it and move on
not allowed to vote
only allowed to watch y'all vote straight red or blue ticket while the country burns around me
tried like others to sound alarms but all people say is both sides and my team
Not a single one of those (collected over years) is as grandiose as those mentioned in the article from a single speech Trump made. If you had any desire to participate in good faith you’d acknowledge there is a 2 orders of magnitude difference between total false/misleading claims and a cursory review of the worst statements differ to the point of insanity.
blame both sides because if democrats would have walked what they talked never would have got trump
Biden literally stepped down you goofball. How are we already forgetting recent history?
stepping down would been handing the reigns over before retirement age
does not count as "stepped down" after refusing to retire over a decade ago
Agreed they're both old and politician would ideally be younger but Trump has a very unique way of speaking that includes delusional, narcissistic, hateful and inaccurate content. There is no way that swapping out like that isn't recognisable. You seem to be clutching at an idea
