Lies Eventually Stop Working, Joe

Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, Joe Biden just can’t stop lying about how tangled up he was in son Hunter’s business dealings. He’s doing his used-car-salesman dad proud.

Now the public’s learned of a text message sent from Joe’s home in which Hunter claims to be sitting right next to his dad while threatening trouble from Joe if his partners in China don’t pay up — and the prez is sticking to his “nothing there” story.

Asked point-blank if he’d lied to the American people about never-ever speaking to Hunter about business, he barked “No.”

This lie-about-a-lie is, as Joe likes to say, total malarkey. Hunter’s ex-associate Tony Bobulinski says he met with Joe about the China deal. The prez has been ID’d as the infamous “big guy” due a 10% cut by Bobulinski and another Hunter buddy.

No shock: This president lies about everything that could inconvenience him.

He called his disastrous Afghanistan bugout an “extraordinary success.” On raging inflation, he scoffed: “It was already there when I got here, man.” (Nope: Under the last guy, inflation was historically low.)

The border is “much better than you all expected,” as he suggested recently to reporters? Give us all a break.

Whether it’s on public policy or personal scandal (“there’s no there there” on his classified-docs woes, he insists), he waves off bothersome facts in the same blustery tone.

The tactic worked for most of his long career as a senator with a safe seat, and even as vice president. Heck, it still sort of works for much of the press, who desperately want to believe his lies.

But most Americans don’t keep falling for a salesman (of used cars or public policy) who never delivers what he promises: They eventually realize that the guy lies about “C’mon man!” is not gonna cut it.
