Well, that's hilarious.

I wrote off Biden's recent attempt to shake hands with an imaginary person at the end of a press conference as just a weirdly awkward gesture. But now we have a press conference where Biden claimed that "for 4 years I was a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania."

He wasn't.

I suppose we could chalk that up cognitive impairment, but he has a long pattern of lying about his education. During a campaign rally, he claimed "I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship, went back to law school, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class. I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year. I graduated with 3 degrees from undergraduate school."

All lies. He was not named outstanding student, graduated with only 1 degree, and was in the bottom half of his class.

And that was in 1987, so it predates any worries about declining mental faculties. He's just a self-aggrandizing, insecure liar.

My take is that it's both. He used to be a liar, and now he's a senile liar who struggles to not look like a pathetic vegetable-brain man. (And fails on live televison for all to see.)
Pretty much. He was not a bright man to start with, and was notorious for being a fuck up. Even Barack Obama admitted as much.

Now that he's firmly in the grip of senile dementia, it's interesting to watch his handlers and flacks desperately run interference. As a comedy, preferably directed and produced by Mel Brooks, it would be hilarious. As reality, it's extremely depressing.

  I think Bright is a stretch.  Grades are not everything, but the guy got into law school with a C average.  I think he could at least function on a talk with people/articulate manner, and maybe had some good emotional IQ, but bright...I think only by comparison to his current state.  He was likely always fucked up/evil though.  His kids reflect that, the fact he was in DC for almost his whole life leads me to think that, and if the stuff about his corruption stuff is true, well it is just fact.   It is not depressing, it is Americans just getting what they f$#king deserve.

It really does beg the question as to how these assholes with C averages were allowed into colleges in the first place.  Bush and Kerry both had shitty grades. JFKs application essay for Harvard is laughable.  No, these shitbags got into colleges by the same means that Aunt Becky got sent to jail for recently...

Don't get me wrong, middling grades in high school are not they only indicator of success later in life, but when these people get shitty grades in college, don't actually become successful doing something afterwards, and still get offered wealth, power, and prestige, it's a problem.

Biden had never had a real job. He's hired at a law firm fresh out of law school and is elected to city council in less than a year - a career path that doesn't require competence.  And that's the problem with most of the elected class - middling performance in school and subpar performance in the work force before being elected where they never have to be competent at anything ever again.  Don't get me wrong - they're competent at grifting, but that's an inherent trait, not a practiced competency...

It's not about education, but connections. Harvard is less a school and more a place for those who aspire to be movers and shakers to go to make those connections. The Cantonese term 'guanxi' seems very apt here.

Remember, they let David Hogg into Harvard. That's not indicative of intelligence. It means someone thinks he might be politically useful.

Did I miss the discussion on the recent movie uncovering the 2020 Election fortification?

I mean I know that I sometimes get the urge to vote at 3am.

   Well...the whole ballot harvesting, and putting other people's ballots into drop boxes (where in some states 100 percent of the nursing home populations voted) at 3am is simply the signs of a vibrant and wonderful democracy.  If you say otherwise, you may well be a white supremacist insurrectionist guilty of sedition, but feel free to use the 1st amendment to speak up about it.  The DOJ of course may want to talk with you afterwards though.

Worst president of my lifetime, and I'm old enough to remember Carter!

Bought a few groceries to feed the family, came to over $200! At least there was some groceries to buy, though I saw a lot of bare shelves. What is it about communist regimes and food shortages?

I don't expect the inflation numbers coming out today to be very good.

Wait till the formula shortages start to bite in.

You want to get a man excited, make it impossible for him to feed his kids.

But hey, no more mean tweets, right?

Obviously more abortions will address future formula shortages...

*Laughing* Yeah, can you just *imagine* the growing desperation from so many women everywhere sobbing and crying to their men..."We can't feed our baby! DO SOMETHING!"

Imagine how that kind of pressure, every day, is going to affect men.

Interesting times indeed.

Oh hey, what was infant mortality like prior to the development of formula? Fifty percent or so.

And not every woman can supply what her child needs, especially if they're big eaters.

  historically I thought it was closer to 25 percent, and total child mortality before puberty was the 50 percent number.  I do not think Formula was the big difference though, as there have always been historical substitutes to feed babies with before formula.  I think treatment of many illnesses and maladies, or medical advancements did much more to reduce infant mortality, as well as child mortality.    I think a formula shortage would increase social pressures on fathers to do something, but I think any scenario where formula is in short supply there will likely be other food shortages that would apply as much if not more pressure (can't breast feed a 15 year old).

I have sincere sympathy for the mothers and families out there that, for various reasons, cannot breastfeed their babies. For them, having access to baby formula is very important.

Regardless of whatever the infant mortality rate was before the invention of baby formula--or whatever the infant mortality rate may become because of future shortages in the supply of baby formula--it is all a disturbing problem, and potentially a sobering crisis, entirely of which I place the blame for on the Biden regime.

Just more stupid corruption and stupidity from this disgusting and pathetic Liberal Democrat government.

I hope also that the American voters take note, and remember this, as well as all of the other absolute failures of this fucking administration.

Fair enough.

The fucking apologists for the zombie Biden and his misadministration really piss me off. Especially as they keep alternating between 'everything is fine!' and 'it's all Trump/Putin/Covid's fault'.
