Biden calls Capitol riot ‘coup’ in
Ga. speech, claims he was arrested in
civil rights protest

Original Article

President Biden on Tuesday branded the Capitol riot a “coup” attempt and called on the Senate to scrap its usual 60-vote threshold to pass a pair of election reform bills—but his message was clouded by distracting gaffes. Biden’s sharpened attack on former President Donald Trump and his supporters was bracketed by Biden once again referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “President Harris” and by his assertion that he was arrested multiple times while fighting for civil rights.(Snip)His 2007 autobiography “Promises to Keep” describes no such arrests. In 2020, Biden infamously claimed he “had the great honor of being arrested” in South Africa when he was

Comments:

Senator Biden, pride of New America, meant to say he took a big pull of Metamucil to help with his poop attempt. Remember folks, thank a liberal and the CIA that we have no more mean tweets to endure.

Joe "Dementia" Biden "Confabulation is defined as the spontaneous production of false memories: either memories of events that never occurred or memories of actual events which are displaced in space or time. These false memories can range from elaborate and bizarre, such as a memory of being captain on an alien spaceship, to something as subtle and mundane as recalling having eggs for breakfast when it was actually cereal and toast. Most known cases of confabulation are symptomatic of brain damage or dementias, such as an aneurysm, Alzheimer's disease, or Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome." Jill, put your make-up sessions/photo-ops on hold and take the one for a much needed medical cognitive assessment. It is getting worse, week by week.

I feel a certain degree of pity for this senile old coot. Nothing but contempt for those who made him President of the United States! (Biden's a bit like Uncle Earl at the Thanksgiving table... you never know what he's going to say, once he's sauced up. Except Biden is apparently sober, right?)

Quid Pro Joe claims to have been arrested multiple times in the civil rights movement. Where are the mugshots? Did his best buddy, Senator Robert Byrd (D-KKK) bail him out? The Creep was all fired up today. He must have gotten his shots. It's not possible to muck up a country this badly in only a year. It's deliberate destruction.

this laughingstock of a fool was yelling at us, again. I really don't like him and shake my head in disbelief that he is where he is. He is the most incompetent individual to inhale the air in the White House. just read #1's entry and completely agree but would add - loss of memory is also due to excessive use of alcohol and drugs, which would account for diapers' embellishing and distortion of memory of events and non-events in his recall, real or not real. there is no coming back from this condition because brain cells do not regenerate

every single time he tells these silly lies...another dozen or hundred see it as "too much" and turn away from him, and his party. "Literally held a dagger ..." OK, show us the "Dagger" surely it is entered into evidence, right? A "Coup" is the violent overthrow of a sitting govt, Trump WAS the sitting Govt. ANY arrest records should be public information...THAT is a whole more relevant than Trumps taxes and privileged private conversations with Lawyers and staff. Yet Biden has claimed that HE can waive all prior presidents "Privileges" “Do you want to be the side of the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?” he went on. “Do you want to be the site of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide.” MLK was a Repub, Wallace a Democrat. Lincoln was a Repub, Davis a Democrat. BOTH were assassinated by....a Democrat. Lincoln had tried to heal the Nation by choosing a Democrat to be VP...then once assassinated by a Democrat? Democrats took over the Presidency. "A Coup". There were no ballots even distributed for Lincoln in ten of the Southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas....now THAT was a Democrat "Attempted Steal" of an election, and they still lost it.

The saddest part is that biden is so far under the ravages of dementia that he doesn't have a clue what he is saying. His handlers hand him a paper with words on it, or put those words on a teleprompter, and biden reads them. All he is capable of understanding is that, if he reads the words good, that nice lady (Jill) will tell him "good boy", pat him on the head, and give him extra milk and cookies before one of his many daily naps.

#10, Dementia Jo's words about his first arrest seemed not to be read, but added by him separate from his reading the teleprompter. That is a real danger sign for his handlers, if I am correct. It may mean that Jo is at the point of brain deterioration, and loss of filters, that he will say anything. My late best friend, in his final year on earth, suffering from dementia,declared to everyone that his wife was a lesbian whore because she would not sleep with him. And when I traveled to his home in Upstate New York at his request, to check on his well being, his wife explained that she had to move to the guest bedroom because he had lost control of his bladder, and was urinating on her, in bed. When I explained that to him, he said he was not doing it intentionally, and repeated his charge that she was a lesbian whore. She was not. We are in bad shape as a country, being manipulated by unseen actors, and with a woman cackling in the wings who may be bubbling with resentment because of the way she is being treated. Dementia Jo is dragging her around at events as if she were his house negro. Surely those black students from Morehouse a school that views itself as the black Harvard, would see that. And it would explain their lack of enthusiasm for Dementia Jo, who ignored them when he did his Limu Emu exit from the stage.,

Even for a democrat, Joe Biden is a substandard hack. Donald Trump could speak for two hours without missing a beat and his love for the country was always there, Joe can't go two minutes. If over half of the country preferred this mindless stooge to a great POTUS like DJT then America is a lost dream but the states that cheated are not revealing the true results of their audits for a very good reason. I used to give my estranged friends a break because they were lied to but no more. It is so obvious that the dems stole the election for Joe that anybody who still believes he is worth a Schiff is not worth knowing. FJB

How's that ''uniter not a divider'' bit going for you, Quid Pro Joe? Please explain how if you consider state election laws to be racist and unfair to minorities why they are not being challenged in court? Those of us who are in favor of voter IDs and limiting mail-in voting do not appreciate being called names. Such provisions are not racist, they apply to all voters. I have to show an ID and a utility bill to dump trash in a municipal landfill. Why is it considered such a burden and ''racism'' to require an ID to vote?

Biden is the embodiment of demented evil. One could go so far as to say he is a golem created and controlled by Bolsheviks to destroy the United States. The real issue is that by allowing the democrats to continue to define January 6 as an insurrection and now a coup allows them to control the narrative for the future. They wish to disqualify Republican congressmen from office for supporting an "insurrection". Unfortunately, the Media supports demented Joe and the democrats. Americans are being slowly boiled in a pot of Nazi ideology designed to forever weaken individual freedom.

Those EVs Joe Biden and Democrats promise will transform the climate? That EV you drive and think you’re saving the planet with?

Five West Virginia middle-school track athletes who protested the participation of a transgender student in a recent competition have been barred from future meets and are now engaged in a legal battle with their school district that could end up at the Supreme Court.

The silent protest came after a federal appeals court struck down part of West Virginia's transgender sports ban, allowing the 13-year-old in question to compete

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke admitted Wednesday that she was arrested and chose not to disclose the legal matter during her Senate confirmation process because it had been expunged from her record.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel earlier this week, speaking loudly and waving a small stick. While Blinken ostensibly represents America's national interests abroad, his job in Israel is all about Presidentish Joe Biden's reelection bid — and how Israeli's defensive military actions in the Gaza Strip are complicating things for Biden at home. Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in hopes, once more, of getting a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. A truce would "give us something to build on," Blinken said.
