@HunterBiden He makes up these detailed lies, and at first, I think he knows he's lying, but as time goes on, you can see him starting to believe his own lies.

Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden@HunterBiden·
We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up. So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and independent fact-checks. Here is a partial list of 86 lies: 1. He promised to bring prices down “starting on Day One.” Grocery prices remained high and continued rising. 2. After winning, he admitted that prices are very hard to bring down once they have gone up. 3. He said egg prices had fallen 93 percent. They had not fallen remotely close to 93 percent. 4. He said he inherited the highest inflation in American history. He inherited an annual inflation rate of 2.9 percent. 5. When corrected, he changed the claim to the worst inflation in 49 years. That was also false. Annual inflation reached 23.7 percent in 1920. 6. He said there was virtually no inflation during his first term. Consumer prices rose approximately 8 percent. 7. He repeatedly claimed he had already brought inflation down, including during periods when the annual inflation rate was higher than the 2.9 percent reported shortly before he took office. 8. He told Congress inflation was “plummeting.” Prices were still rising overall, including major household expenses such as housing, electricity and medical care. 9. He claimed to have secured $18 trillion in new investment. 10. He then raised the figure to $19.2 trillion. 11. Even the White House’s own tracker listed far less, and its total included multiyear pledges, purchasing agreements, previously announced projects and commitments that might never become actual US investment. 12. He said America was building more factories than ever. 13. He said factory construction was rising. 14. He said the country had achieved its highest growth ever. Manufacturing employment declined, factory-construction claims depended on cherry-picked categories, and economic growth was nowhere near a historical record. 15. He called the country he inherited a dead country. The US economy grew 2.8 percent in 2024, faster than every other major wealthy economy except Spain. 16. He says foreign countries pay his tariffs. American importers pay them and frequently pass the cost on to American consumers. 17. He said the evidence overwhelmingly showed consumers did not pay his tariffs. Economic studies found that American consumers and businesses absorbed nearly all their cost. 18. He said tariff revenue came with “no inflation.” Prices continued rising, and economic research found that the tariffs themselves increased costs for American consumers and businesses. 19. He repeatedly said drug prices were down 70, 80 or 90 percent. No broad measure of prescription-drug prices showed anything close to those reductions. 20. He said Medicaid was “left the same.” The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation would reduce federal Medicaid spending by roughly $930 billion over ten years. 21. He said Americans were “not going to feel any of it.” The Congressional Budget Office projected that the legislation would leave approximately 11.8 million more people uninsured. 22. He said the Medicaid changes touched only waste, fraud and abuse. Independent analyses found that the legislation reduced coverage and federal spending far beyond fraudulent claims. 23. He said he had eliminated taxes on Social Security. The law created a temporary deduction, unavailable to many beneficiaries, that expires after 2028. It did not abolish taxation of Social Security benefits. 24. He said taxes would rise 68 percent without his bill. No credible independent estimate came close to supporting that figure. 25. He then declared, “I’ve kept all my promises and much more.” 26. He publicly promised at least 53 times to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, or even before taking office. Continued in replies…

@BulwarkOnline Notice how he never denies? He just defects. I once caught someone lying to me and when I confronted her, she said, "Why would I lie?" It's a tactic as old as time.

@Unit025 I don't know if he's any good or not, but the general rule of thumb is that a person who talks like he's talking is not going to be very good in an actual street fight.

Dr. Anthony Fauci's newly released pandemic-era diary entries confirm that former President Barack Obama made those remarks during a 11-4-21 phone call. Obama reportedly called Donald Trump Jr. "a fucking moron" & described Donald Trump as a "hopeless idiot & a pathologic liar".

People who tell details of what they actually did over the weekend, people who tell what they had for dinner or will have for dinner, people who arrange those AFTER work drinks, people who move from door to door greeting people in the morning, people who tell the where, when, and the how about their upcoming vacay. We are colleagues, not friends.

Norm Macdonald Joke of the Day
In a recent interview on the subject of parenting, Jane Fonda admitted that it wasn't easy to talk to her children about sex. But she felt it was necessary because she did not want them to learn about sex the way that she did: By reading North Vietnamese propaganda pamphlets.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Down by 3 with a runner on 3rd & the defense back, Jeff McNeil bunted for a hit & drove a run in & brought the tying run to the plate which also happened to be the guy who had just launched a ball out of the yard his prev AB. Kenley didn’t like that Jeff McNeil tried to win the baseball game he was playing in & felt disrespected that McNeil didn’t try to win the game the way KENLEY wanted him to win it. Bad on Jeff McNeil for getting an RBI hit to extend the inning & bring the tying run to plate. Not a great look at all for Kenley. GTFOH!

The actual President of the fucking United States of America had an innocent man arrested to cover his own failure and shame. That should scare every damn one of us.
