Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, May 06, 2025

The real scandal is that any journalist ever believed Joe Biden in the first place

Indeed, if there were ever a president to rival Donald Trump in terms of sheer dishonesty, it is Biden, a man with a long history of brazen falsehoods and dishonest behavior.

Biden famously claimed that he had been arrested in South Africa after demanding a meeting with the then-imprisoned Nelson Mandela. Biden was never arrested in South Africa.

The former president said he had met with the leaders of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after an antisemitic terrorist attack in October 2018 left 11 worshipers dead. Biden did not meet with the synagogue leaders.

Biden once asserted, "Immediately, the moment [the Iraq War] started, I came out against the war at that moment." Biden did not do that.

Biden has said on several occasions that he marched with civil rights protesters. He did not.

He has said on several occasions that he was arrested with civil rights protesters. He was not.

Biden said the NAACP supported each of his campaigns for office. It did not.

Biden said he was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1965 by the late U.S. Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-Del.), but the late senator's archives show nothing of the sort.

Biden claimed he was once in a helicopter that was "forced down" into "the superhighway of terror" between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He was not.

He said he was "shot at" during trips to the Green Zone in Iraq. This did not happen. (He later clarified: "I was near where a shot landed").

Biden bragged that he had led the charge against the war criminal Slobodan Milosevic. He had not. Biden said he had been the first in his family to go to university. He was not.

A trolling thread based on nothing but gaslighting.

It makes sense high school dropouts like Simping ScottS believe the lies the Republican Party tells about Biden.

Hey, Scott, you figure out why Abu Dhabi just gave Trump $2 billion dollars? Or does actual corruption not bother you, for (R)easons you can't admit to?

Someone can have a different opinion on matters without being a liar. Like when you expressed your opinion shortly after October 7th declaring that you were certain that it was going to result in the downfall of Israel. Current events suggest that you were wrong, but not a liar.

This isn't a logic puzzle. Listen to the Larry King call-in and tell me you have no doubts.

Watch Biden preside at the Anita Hill hearing and tell me you have no doubts.

What is the legitimate death count of Palestinians since October 7th?

Well, considering that the modern state of Israel wouldn't exist without Zionism, let's call it a wash.

#17 | Posted by redlightrobot

Probably lower than the death count would be if/when Palestinians have their own nukes. As demonstrated by the number of Jews who are permitted to draw breath in Muslim-majority nations and the 25% of Israel that is Muslim/Arab citizens (with far more rights than they would enjoy anywhere in the Arab world).

I know you hate the Jews, but they kill hardly anyone compared to what Palestinian ISIS has in store, for Muslims right after they finish with the Jews.

Considering you look upon Hamas as the ideal of humanity, denying or excusing to this day the atrocities they committed on October 7th, I'll take your repulsion to me as a compliment.

"denying or excusing to this day the atrocities they committed on October 7th"

Any atrocities happen by the other side since then?

How's the civilian body count going? Is it 50,000 to 1,000 yet?

When does Israel win?

#20 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-05-07 06:25 PM | Reply

Israel can only stand down when Hamas is removed from the face of the earth. Hamas, of course, is an acronym, it means Islamic Resistance. The political entity can have its leaders killed but the spirit of the idea will never be removed from the people. You can thank the Propaganda Model for that. Read Chomsky if you haven't.

So. Israel will never end the idea of "Islamic Resistance." Perhaps they had a chance after the 1967 war. Perhaps they had a chance after Sadat was assassinated. They lost their last chance after Rabin was assassinated. They elected to use their military to give birth to yet another generational grudge starting on Oct 8 through today.

Ask any Israel supporter, they will tell you Hamas are savages who can't be reasoned with.

So, by creating Israel, the Zionists chose to have a war with religious fanatics, thinking properly that they would win. And they did all this in the name of the Jews, and it makes Jews targets, like the Jewish athletes murdered at the Munich Olympics.

Israel won their war of independence, and they won their wars in 1967 and 1974. But somehow there's still two million Palestinians awaiting Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza, and a half million more in the West Bank who are taking a long time to be run off their land. With Israel, war and territorial expansion is a generational process; it's not a Blitzkrieg. It's not far off from the Spanish Missions that used to control California.

Point is, Israel will forever be at war with her Muslim neighbors, until she has conquered or otherwise eliminated all Muslims who bear in their spirit this sense of Islamic Resistance to the Western Military Occupation.

That is the only feasible scenario under current Israeli leadership.

The other outcome, where Israel ceases to exist, would only happen if Israel thought they were truly losing some years-away war, and decided to nuke itself in some sort of Scorched Earth policy right out of the Old Testament, which seems as likely an outcome as any considering the religious whackjobs calling the shots in Israel.

#22 | Posted by LampLighter"

Great - so pick any of the lies claimed in the article and prove that it is in fact true. You can start with this one:

When Biden first ran for president in the late 1980s, he told voters he attended law school at Syracuse University on a full academic scholarship. This was not true. He told the same audience that he had finished in the top half of his class, that he was named the outstanding student in the political science department as an undergraduate at the University of Delaware, and that he graduated from Delaware with three undergraduate degrees. All three of those claims were false.

But, I have to warn you before you spend to much time because even Biden admitted he was a complete and total liar on this already after he was caught.

You are up dipshit!

Gaslighting articles are all high school drop outs, like Simping Scotty, can muster to deflect from the corrupt Trump family crime syndicate pocketing $2 billion dollars from Abu Dhabi.

ScottS can look past Trump raping children, as long as he hurts immigrants and transgender people.

The jealousy you have for your economic betters is really off-putting. Maybe if you spent more time in school earning an actually useful degree vs. banging dudes in bath houses and getting a sociology degree, you would not be so unhappy in life now. I do know homosexuals that are actually happy - so, it is not your sexual orientation making your a miserable, depressed person - it is your personality and lack of achievement. The good news is that you still have time to fix that in your remaining years.

As it stands, this will be your obituary:

ClownShack died on xxx
He was an insufferable homosexual that brought misery to those around him.
His boundless potential was wasted due to his hubris and lack of effort.
He brought immense joy to the many men he pleasured in bath houses but was never able to form a stable relationship.
He is not survived by any children but is survived by his $150,000 student loan.
The county requests money in lieu of flowers to offset his burial costs.

Do you really want that to be your legacy?

#21: Hi Corky, well done. And only 21% of Arab-Americans voted for Dotard Trumpf, 20% voted Kamala Harris, while Jill Stein grabbed the lion's share of their measly vote at 59%. Between the winning 2020 and losing 2024 elections, Democrats lost 6,265,888 votes. If we liberally subtract the entire 1,698,570 Arab-American vote (1.1% of the US population), that leaves us with 4,567,318. Green Party candidate Jill Stein won 628,129 votes across the US (doing best in New Jersey). That leaves 3,939,189 Democrats unaccounted for nationwide in 2024.

An AIPAC talking point is that Arab-Americans tipped the scales for Trumpf and are now in the 'Find Out' stage of FAFO for that support. You read it here on Drudge Retort from both the trolls and some bloggers. But only 21% of Arab-Americans voted for Trumpf, the same percentage of Jews that voted for him. The Palestinians have been in the 'Find Out' stage since 1948 but now Arabs in the US are being blamed for the 2024 Democratic Party loss.

https://psychologicalhealingcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ScapegoatClipart-926x1024.png

This Islamophobic scapegoating has been effective AIPAC meme to deflect away from the fact that on 5 Nov 2024, nearly four million antiwar Americans stayed home in disgust rather than vote for either the Democrats or the Republicans, just like in 1968 when antiwar Democrats stayed home in disgust rather than vote for Richard Nixon or George Wallace. Both political parties in 1968 were complicit in supporting an unpopular regime in Saigon, just as both parties in 2024 have been complicit in supporting an unpopular regime in Jerusalem. But in 2024 the hardworking American taxpayer became sick and tired of subsidizing the ethnic cleansing, maiming, and starving of Palestinians, and all the blood it puts on our hands.

You can see how much AIPAC funds both the Democrats and Republicans in the links below. Note that US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) do not take a shekel from AIPAC. US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) must go.

@#23 ... Great - so pick any of the lies claimed in the article ...

I prefer to take a step back and look more at the overall approach instead of, say, one specific comment.

For example ...

False or misleading statements by Donald Trump
en.wikipedia.org

That article comes with this disclaimer ...

...This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. ...

OK, then there may be this ...

With 20 lies on Day 1, will Trump break first-term record of 30,573 untruths? (January 2025)
www.indiatoday.in

... Donald Trump delivered two speeches after his inauguration on Monday and several media outlets fact-checked him. CNN put the number of untruths at 20. Trump averaged 21 lies a day in his first term, according to The Washington Post. This is why Trump's Day 1 of his second term could herald a return to a fact-check era. ...

Of course, there seems to linger the question why Mr Bezos has terminated the Washington Post's fact-checking efforts?


Kissing up to the Emperor?
