Non Compos Mentis

“When I was vice president, things were kinda bad during the pandemic, and what happened was Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit and help fix it.’” —Joe Biden

“[Trump] calls the erectionists who stormed Capitol Hill patriots.” —Joe Biden

Demagogue

“The values of diversity, equity, inclusion are the core strength of America.” —Joe Biden

“I left the fancy law firm I had just joined and decided to become a public defender and then a county councilman, working to change our state’s politics to embrace the cause of civil rights.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lie

“I got involved in civil rights when I was 15.” —Joe Biden

Re: The Left

“Democrats were the party of slavery and Jim Crow, and they’re still the party of counting by race. They just decided to shift the focus to getting votes instead of suppressing them.” —Nate Jackson

More BIG Lies

“I never imagined in the [sic] 2024 there’d be folks waiting to ban books in America. … Not only that, they’re trying to erase black history. Literally!” —Joe Biden

“Today in Georgia, they won’t allow water to be available to you while you wait in line to vote in an election.” —Joe Biden

Grand Delusions

“Our economy and people’s paychecks are growing, and our nation is headed in the right direction thanks to [Biden’s] work.” —Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

For the Record

“Though inflation is falling now, it has been higher on average under Biden than Trump. Adjusted for inflation, net worth was up just 0.7% through Biden’s first three years, compared with 16% through Trump’s first three years.” —The Wall Street Journal

Lack of Self-Awareness Awards

“You have to treat people with dignity. You have to treat people with respect. … It doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you sit on.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“[Trump’s] going to tell the attorney general who he should prosecute. … He’s going to get his enemies.” —Joe Biden

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Even if I wanted to lie, I’m not a good liar.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

And Last…

“Since Joe Biden took office, the number of suspected terrorists entering the country has gone up by 2,500%. Border security is national security. And with ‘Open Borders’ Biden, we have neither.” —Gary Bauer
