Biden’s “Honest” Dishonesty Costs Him

Taking on Joe Biden has become a past-time in contemporary Washington. Today the other President Joe, this one named Manchin, blindsided the titular President giving him a political body blow it will be hard to recover from.

Too many times Biden, like the former Democrat President Obama he served, tries to twist things and ends up tying himself in knots. Problem is all these times add up making it difficult to treat Biden as a strong and credible President. True, compared to Trump, an outright con man for whom gross lying and deception are his trademarks, Biden seems to be a relief. But even so, things catch up with Biden when they keep being repeated in so many different ways and forums. This of course helps explain his dismal polling and the increasingly desperate situation the Dem Party is in as 2022 approaches. Also of course explains the other Joe deciding to essentially tell President Joe to shove it.

Among Biden’s latest deceptive not really believeable twists came earlier this month when a Taiwan Minster (not the President who was probably told not to appear) spoke at the so-called, itself a bit corny, Summit of Democracies. Of course the whole thing was a kind of deflection/subterfuge — but that’s a much longer story. Anyway with Taiwan, the only non-country invited with the obvious purpose of trying to pry the island away from Chinese sovereignty despite the long-enunciated “One-China Policy”, an “honest mistake” happened, say the Biden folk.

Imagine, this “honest mistake” happened just at the very time the Taiwanese Minister was unexpectedly displaying a flag clearly picturing Taiwan as an independent country. Right then at that precise moment there was a video feed break down with audio only substituted. Seems the Taiwanese thought they could outsmart the Biden team and get away with it They did at first. But getting caught in the act the Biden team pulled the video feed and then with a big deceitful spin lied about what had happened. Not very believeable! So chalk it up to one more Biden and team screw up.
