“One last thing, and I used to think when I was a senator, there were always congestion on the highways. There’s no congestion anymore. We go on the highway, there’s no congestion,” Biden said.

“And so what? The way they get me to stop talking, they’ll say, ‘We just shut down all the roads, Mr. President, you’re gonna lose all the votes if you don’t get in. But anyway, I’ll be back out,” he nonsensically added.

The White House did not respond to The Post’s request for comment regarding Biden’s odd remarks.

Where's your confusion there? Clearly Biden wanted to tear into Trump for disparaging our troops but changed his mind and thought better of it, given it's the 4th of July. Trump on the other hand has routinely made nasty remarks on dates that should be dates of joy and celebration.


Ho ho ho

Trump definitely said it because a Biden supporter said so.

This wouldve leaked years ago if he said it

Some of us watch more than the 5 second clip. Those of us who do are not confused Trump voters.

"Trump denied it" - just adding yet another lie to the dozens and dozens of other Trump lies that day.

The suckers and losers are the MAGA supporters who believe Trump and think he is more honest and truthful than anyone else 🤡

I love how we have to cling to an alleged quote “suckers and losers” (another Democrat lie-they’ve become so good at manufacturing fake news) and not Bidens actual quotes/sound bytes .

He called himself black for the third time this month today.

In a radio interview taped Wednesday that aired Thursday, Biden made some verbal missteps .

“I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president — first Black woman — to serve with a Black president, proud to have been involved with the first Black woman on the Supreme Court,” he said during an appearance with Andrea Lawful-Sanders of “The Source” in Philadelphia.

It’s nice to see Biden changed his pronoun to she/her and his race is black

Because the dirty secret, which is obvious to people who aren't hardcore partisans, is that Joe Biden is not terribly bright and has a big ego. Second to last place in his law school class, he was a third rate senator from a safe seat who lucked into the VP slot because Obama wanted a court jester who'd always make him look good by comparison (never forget what Obama said about Biden). Biden has a long history of boastful lies and making up stories about himself and his accomplishments. He certainly has an ego. People who hunger for the throne don't make it without an ego. And once you have the power, it's devilishly hard to give it up. All the media talk about how he's as sharp as tack are blatantly lies as we now know.

Then add to it that his family must be terrified of the prospects of a Trump DOJ getting investigative powers.

I don't know what he will do or what the Democrats will do. But no one is coming out smelling of roses, either the party or Biden, and the election is pretty much lost now. You don't lie to the American public for years like this and get away with it.




You're not wrong, but your picture lacks perspective.

You're forgetting that we've had dumb and incompetent Presidents in the past, and that none of them have been as incompetent for the job, and habitual liars, like Trump. Bush Junior and Biden, the two most recent dummies, both tried their best. W. Bush made catastrophic mistakes in the Gulf, and US actions there are tantamount to war crimes. Biden has done less damage in the world, in terms of starting wars we can't stop that lead to decades of Jihad terrorism, than the Bushes. Trump is so mentally diseased that he cannot stop lying, and cannot understand that the job means putting the country before himself. He is so insecure that he has to continually aggrandize himself in the most cringeworthy and pathological way. Also, he can't read. His daily briefings were turned into color charts and graphs. He's the WORST President.

All this to say, Americans have a lot of hubris but their Presidents are often not all that. And yet they get elected!

Kamala Harris doesn't need to be the BEST. She's already way better than Bush, Biden and Carter. Maybe she's not the Obama you're looking for. But she'll do.




I think what’s more maddening to me isn’t Biden or his family but the media .


Bush was raked over the coals for his gaffes and called anything but a child of God. He was called an imbecile at every occasion but Biden who was dumber than Bush for all of his political career , got worse grades, commuted stolen valor just like Bush did but far more brazenly , went to worse schools, was proudly racist and Klan friendly , committed more morally foul things like teaching Hunter to break and enter wealthy homes, slept with a down the shore Jersey babe/floozy (Jill) when he was still married never gets hit over the head with any of these bad behaviors by the media. And.. there’s more.

Delaware became credit card and payday loan company haven yet he’s Mr. Amtrak? Give me a break. Biden has pilfered millions and the Bidens use their home like drug addicts in need of a piggy bank refinancing it over 16 times for over 2 million dollars with mortgage after mortgage every 1 1/2 years. It’s insane how they get away with fraud that Trump , Bush, or even the Clintons cant.

I hear that Trump has offered to debate Biden next week if he wants

Oh for heaven’s sake, what is it “with lying for years”? Biden is clearly aging, but it is probably fairly recently that he declined this precipitously. Aging is not a straight line. It is declines and plateaus.

Biden exaggerates but he cannot begin to compete with Trump in terms of lying. So why not hold Trump accountable for his lying to the American public for years?


Biden lies about consequential things. And, he has for years. That is what sunk his first presidential run years ago - he lied and plagiarized. And, was caught because back then the media did their jobs.
Biden has told some whoppers during his presidency. The one that makes me the angriest is saying that all Americans would be out of Afghanistan before removing the troops. Pretty consequential.

How is allowing everyone and their grandma into the country “trying”?


It's certainly less cruel, and more economically useful, than going into Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, whose orphans "inexplicably" hate us and grow up to be terrorists.

The fewer deaths a President is responsible for, the better. A novel concept, perhaps, for you? Immigration is one of the reasons the US has done so much better, economically, than the rest of the world post-pandemic. My personal opinion is that it should be a controlled immigration, with a border wall and much more funding to process individuals and know where they go - not people's backyards in Texas would be a nice start.

This isn't a defense of Democratic immigration policy. I am pointing out that most US Presidents have made significant mistakes one way or another, and that you cannot suddenly hold the next one, just because she's not white and female, to impossible standards that previous ones did not meet.

Smacks of misogyny, that does. Which is sadly to be expected.

Biden will end his campaign next week. He'll name Harris as his heir apparent because she's the VP and there's no one else to tap. Unless Harris miraculously reinvents herself, she'll crash and burn -- no matter how much she's touted and puffed up. Trump wins in November.

Depressing.

Nicely put. Harris will do just fine. More importantly, she can pull us out of the geriatric tailspin we’re in.



Rests on the flawed assumption that Harris can carry swing states in which Biden was already trailing Trump before the debate.
