Former Vice President Joe Biden has a pretty good tale to share — but it may be a little tall. Biden, who is running for president, has been spicing up his recent campaign stump speeches with a story of how he was arrested while in South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela, The New York Times reports. But that recollection of events has only recently come to light, and it was reportedly omitted from Biden's 2007 memoir that detailed his escapades in the country around that time. During recent campaign speeches, Biden says he "had the great honor" of meeting Mandela

His secret service detail allowed that to happen?

That’s impossible because back then he was flying F-4 Phantom fighter jets over Cambodia for the CIA.

Biden got one detail wrong. It was not Andrew Young who was arrested with him in South Africa. It was Corn Pop.

Someone close to Biden needs to step in and get this man some help. More and more he is reminding me of my mom during the initial stages of her dementia. The weird stories, false memories, and that blank empty gaze on his face a couple of times during the debate also stood out to me. Get him some help! I don't like him, but it is painful to watch this.

The man has been a serial liar (or does the Corn Pop story = a cereal liar?).

I can't wait to find out that he was actually the first man to step foot on the Moon.

The only explanation I can come up with is that Biden has some concerns about his support among the darker-hued members of the Dem party so he’s trying to use a connection to Mandela to boost his credibility. The results of the primary in South Carolina will be interesting.

it does appear that old Jo has entered the strange land of dementia, where thoughts often become facts. his family knows what is going on with him, and should have protected him from himself. but the money is too good.
Candidates cannot legally spend campaign contributions on themselves, but their relatives can. biden's sister is his campaign manager, and media buyer.
jane sanders is Bernie's campaign manager, and I suspect his step daughter is on the campaign payroll, along with his bast*rd son.
Running for president is a cash cow for even the worst candidates.

Soooooo, again.... which ship did Biden build? Was it the Neener, the Pinty or the Scantilly Clad Panty Maria? I know he was captain of one of those.

More demented, fake stories from the Vanquisher of the Dreaded Corn-Pop. 🤡
He probably had his son, AG of the USA, get him out of jail quietly. 🙄

Twilight Zone Joe.
Rod Serling, in the intro to Twilight Zone said:
"....the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."
This seems to be where Joe's dementia has moved him to, and where he is living now.

Joe Binden has always pandered for the black vote. I appears that Joe is getting so desperate that now he is fabricating stories about Nelson Mandela and a non existent arrest. Seriously people, who would vote for a man with such diminished capacity?
