Joe Biden was elected based on a persona of the working-class Joe from Scranton, Pennsylvania who tells it straight. I’ve decided to track Joe’s straight talk and look into his record just a bit. Candidacy is an ephemeral business that often lasts only as long as the campaign. It used to be difficult to gauge a candidate’s or politician’s honesty because records were hard to get. Now the internet has fixed that difficulty. Today it’s fairly easy to look into a career politician’s past and see whether he or she has been an honest politician or a typical purveyor of the immediate prevarication needed in the moment. So, for anyone who hates Trump for his ego and self-proclaimed IQ, meet Joe Biden; that roll-up your sleeves kinda guy who is glad to lie about his achievements, says his IQ is higher than yours, and doesn’t follow through with campaign promises.
Joe’s had more than his fair share of BS come roaring out of his piehole evidenced by a video clip resurfaced from 1987 in which Joe claims, apparently speaking to Frank, that he “was the outstanding student in the political science department as an undergraduate” . . . and . . . “graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school . . . and I’d be delighted to sit back and compare my IQ to yours if you’d like, Frank.” He also said about his time in law school that “the first year in law school I decided I didn’t want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class and then decided I wanted to stay and went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.″
In all actuality, law school records show Joe was 80th out of 100 after his first semester, 79th out of 87 at the end of the second semester of his second year and ended up 76th out of the 85 who finished after three years. We should be glad he made it at all since he finished just a half percentage point above the lowest 10% of the class. He also graduated with only a single undergrad Bachelor of Arts in political science and history. Very typically, Joe blows off his lies when he’s confronted. And it’s not like somebody finally realized today that Joe was lying. His lies were news back then, but I guess voters don’t care if a candidate lies as long as he’s a downhome, Scranton, ordinary Joe kinda liar.
He does understand saying, ″I guess every single word I’ve said is going to be dissected now.″ I would say we don’t have to dissect grossly false claims about school, but we have to should wonder about a candidate who can take himself from the bottom of his class all the way to the top half of his class; truly a legend in his own mind. But it’s okay, because Joe knows, ″I exaggerate when I’m angry, but I’ve never gone around telling people things that aren’t true about me.″[i]
At least Joe knows he exaggerates when he gets angry. The thing is, he must be angry a lot. After all, he did claim during his campaign, “We’re eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn’t have a plan to get this virus under control. I do.” And please emphasize the “I do” part of that doublespeak, because now Joe admits his own fabrication saying, “There’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”[ii] Yes, another campaign prevarication the voters don’t seem to mind.
Joe also wants to inoculate 100 million people in 100 days. Of course, the goal of one million inoculations per day was set by Trump and achieved by Trump before inauguration day.[iii] So Joe’s claims were false that he had a plan and Trump didn’t, and now he openly admits he can’t change the trajectory of the pandemic, yet he signed a federal mask mandate, seems like just because, but, c’mon man, give him a break, he’s a career politician through and through who says whatever it takes to get elected.
