Joe Biden — once a fraud, always a fraud


It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Joe Biden isn’t the president he promised to be. He has been a faker, exposed again and again, throughout his seemingly interminable career.


His chameleon lack of principle was glaring during the election, in which he won the primary in the guise of a centrist to defeat his extremist rivals, then executed a violent handbrake turn and hurtled back leftward. There, he allied himself with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the socialist wing — it’s actually less a wing, now, and more the main body — of the blue party.


So, which is it, Joe, centrist or lefty? At his inauguration, he told the United States he’d be a uniter, but it’s been bye-bye bipartisan Biden ever since. He is proving massively divisive.

His gargantuan spending proposals, more than $4 trillion already and rising beyond $6 trillion, dwarf former President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal largesse even after adjusting for inflation. The cipher politician who wafted for decades through Washington, untroubled by any idea or a principle other than his own importance, now basks in his courtiers’ flattery that he can be more consequential than his old boss, former President Barack Obama.

It isn’t just in the fact of his spending plans, but it's in their presentation that Biden is proving himself false. Much less than half of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill was actually related to the pandemic. There’s no truth in its advertising. Hundreds of billions of dollars will bail out arrogant Democratic city and state governments that can’t budget themselves out of a paper bag.

Biden’s $2.3 trillion “infrastructure” bill is an even bigger fraud. As former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pointed out to ABC's George Stephanopoulos, the legislation includes $400 billion to pay for forced unionization. That’s not infrastructure. It's just another item on the left-wing shopping list. More than half the money is, as Ocasio-Cortez boasts and a Wall Street Journal analysis confirms, a disguised version of the Green New Deal.

Capturing the absurd fakery, an online meme depicts the world’s most interesting man saying, “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I call it infrastructure.”

Then there are Biden’s nonmonetary falsehoods. In one of his many Friday surprises, he dumped the big news of an executive order creating a commission to study the case for packing the Supreme Court. He’s already packed the commission with advocates of liberal judicial activism. These sages will ponder the question of whether Democrats should swamp the narrow 5-4 conservative majority — it’s not 6-3 now that Chief Justice John Roberts has flipped — which some of them have already answered in the affirmative.

Should it shock us that this move comes from a man who, before being elected president, said he didn’t favor tampering with the court and didn’t want it to become a “political football?" The answer is no because Biden has always abandoned positions whenever convenient, floating to success on an unending stream of falsehoods and flip-flops.

In his early career, he repeatedly embellished his weak academic record, and during a checkered stint at law school, he tried to pass off an article that he’d lifted from a law journal as his own. Perhaps Biden’s most comically clumsy falsehood came during his 1988 White House run when he borrowed a family anecdote from Neil Kinnock, the leader of the United Kingdom’s Labor Party, and used it almost verbatim as though it were plucked from his own family history. The irony — his effort to sound sincere was itself a falsehood.

The stronger comparison with Kinnock is that, similar to Biden, he sported a comb-over. Both men were concealing the lack of substance underneath. (They are not the only pols, of course, to parade such a cover-up; former President Donald Trump’s was spectacular.) The larger point about Biden, however, is that in small matters and big ones, he’s never real. If there’s no there there, a politician needs to make something up.

It may be successful when a candidate tacks one way during the presidential primary and then back for the general election. But it’s dishonest. The first guy to come up with the tactic was former President Richard “Tricky Dicky” Nixon. As Karl Rove noted to me last year, former President Ronald Reagan took the opposite route, saying, “I’m going to be who I am, win the nomination, and run in the general election as myself.”

To do that, a politician must know what he thinks and believe what he says. Biden is not that kind of leader. He’s a shape-shifter. Malarky is his métier and his modus operandi. With left-wing connivance, he has used it to pull off a fraud against voters and the nation.

Joe Biden is a piece of shit. Plain and simple. He's a liar, a plagiarist, a racist and a do-nothing dementia-ridden politician. He's corrupt as can be.

Those that believed in him and worked for him already got a taste of it when he promised NOT to fire anyone who admitted to past marijuana use, and then he fires them. I'm wondering if they'll be dumb enough to vote for him again??
