HANOVER, N.H. — Joe Biden painted a vivid scene for the 400 people packed into a college meeting hall. A four-star general had asked the then-vice president to travel to Konar province in Afghanistan, a dangerous foray into “godforsaken country” to recognize the remarkable heroism of a Navy captain.
Some told him it was too risky, but Biden said he brushed off their concerns.
“We can lose a vice president,” he said. “We can’t lose many more of these kids. Not a joke.”
The Navy captain, Biden recalled Friday night, had rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade,

Levin played a montage of the audio from the many variations of the story as told by Biden, on his radio show this afternoon. I didn't know whether to laugh, be angry or feel a little sad that the Dems in general seem to prefer this brain damaged, crooked, pedophile, lunatic.

My very liberal sister has the same trait of making up fantastic stories about events that never happened or are only partially true but to her mind they actually happened. I learned years ago just to go along as she becomes angry if challenged.

I don't think Joe Biden is in good enough condition to manage himself, much less this country.

In all truth, I believe Joe Biden has some serious mental problems. Not just saying that, I'm serious!

The Post did a great job of covering and explaining off for Biden when I didn't think it was possible. Is there an award for that or is it just general operating procedure?

Biden's lie about heroism of our military proves he doesn't really view them as heroes. He had to make something up by combining stories as if the individual stories in and of themselves were not heroic. Biden is evil.

After telling this whopper of a lie where he portrays a visit to a Forward Operating Base as an heroic, life threatening act on his part he was later confronted with the fact that his story never happened. To which he replied with two more lies
1. That he was trying to honor the heroism of our military. (It was more about him.)
2. That at least he did to us like our current President. (Lying about lying to us while claiming the President lies.)
Biden has absolutely no shame!

Watching the pseudo-news media contort themselves to accommodate Biden's fictions is amazing.
Imagine for just a moment that President Trump concocted such a story. What would the reaction be by these same outlets?

Those two brain aneurisms alone should disqualify him from even running. Remember the huge stink that the left made about Cheney’s heart problems? Add on all of his gaffes and his apparent dementia and he becomes a complete joke. But keep propping him up, lefties. He doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of beating PDT. And he’s the best they have.

C'mon people! This is what Joe meant when he said they have "truth not facts." Obviously, we Deplorables are just hung-up on these pesky "facts" thingies. "Truth" is larger than facts. They don't need no stinkin' facts!

..gotta pay the wash Po to read this..???...NOT in this lifetime.
..as an aside...IF the Wash Po is ( finally) exposing Sloe Joe as a dunce, then it's like Rush has proclaimed - the Deep State doesn't want him in the race any longer

Joe Biden has apparently told that false war story in different variations many times and has no problem in blowing such politically based smoke to low information audiences that don’t have a clue as to the military or how the military operates. So there is no way that Biden’s utterances were a “mistake”. Clearly Biden told those fraudulent stories to build up his political stature with such low information voters, in about the only way that such corrupt politicians have to insert themselves into legitimate military combat actions that amount to politically fabricated instances of “stolen valor”. Another example of that was when Senator Blumenthal of Connecticut was falsely claiming that he served in Vietnam.

Obviously "my word as a Biden" is utterly worthless. Next he'll be swearing on his first wife's and kids' graves. Disgusting sub-human.

We the deplorables do not fully understand the concept of "the narrative". It is everything in their world and need not be connected with any facts or truth.

SOme of his problem is just being a pathological liar. And then add in his dementia so he can't even tell the same lie twice the same way, it keeps "drifting", the "facts" changing at every telling, driven by his disinterest in facts and his inability to even remember exactly what he said last time.
Say goodnight, Joe.

What everyone seems to be missing (or are not saying because it really is nasty but true) is that Biden's little war story, spoken with "Biden truth", was as much centered around HIM going into danger to pin a medal as it was the medalists not wanting it. (And what was that NO SIR I DON'T WANT IT---and then he died all about?) E.G. You can replace a VP but too many of these brave long men have died yada yada yada. Very self congratulatory. VERY!!!!!!!

Poster #9 also caught that it was really all about our brave VP, much less so about our brave boys. Now why haven't ANY of the talking heads on Foie et al see this?

Not only was all this a big fat lie, his over dramatic telling of it was cringe-worthy.

From his humble-bragging to his gritting teeth, this whole thing was absolutely nauseating. But...………
I couldn't stop laughing when he said "my word as a Biden"! Is that supposed to mean something? It means LESS than nothing! What an absolute buffoon!

It's like Oprah said, "if it's your truth then it is the truth" (or something silly like that)...
