This isn’t funny anymore. This is just sad and pathetic.
Don’t get me wrong, I disagree with Joe Biden on just about everything. But Biden slurring his way through speeches; losing his train of thought in mid-sentence; and mental facilities that are so diminished, he seems to actually believes his own bullshit stories as factual.
America’s Roomba-in-Chief has no business being within 100 miles of the nuclear button.
Joe Biden is at a point in his life when he should actually be sitting back, relaxing, and enjoy his tapioca pudding along with the apparent joy of wallowing in your own shit-filled adult diapers all day.
True to his life-long habit of stretching the truth to the point of incredulity, Slow Joe just dropped another whopper just so he could be the center of attention.
Case in point, in what was supposed to pass themselves off as campaign rallies in Biden’s childhood hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, he heavily insinuated that one of his maternal uncles was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea during WWII.
As reported by Steven Nelson of the New York Post (emphasis mine);
President Biden twice implied Wednesday that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea after his plane crashed during World War II — even though military records show that the aircraft plunged into the Pacific.
“He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time,” Biden initially told reporters after visiting a war memorial that bears his uncle’s name in Scranton, Pa.
“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.”
After arriving in Pittsburgh for a speech on steel tariffs, the 81-year-old president told the same story.
“He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” Biden told United Steelworkers union members.
The Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency says that Finnegan’s plane actually was lost over the open ocean on May 14, 1944.
“For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard,” the military’s account says.
“Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.”
But wait… didn’t Biden claim that the government “found some parts of the plane”? Wouldn’t that be rather difficult in a couple hundred feet of Pacific Ocean?
And just for clarification purposes, 2d Lt. Finnegan was neither the pilot of the doomed aircraft, nor was it ever shot down, according to an official Department of Defense website.
Lt. Finnegan was a passenger on the flight. Not the pilot, co-pilot or even a crewmember.
Also noted was that the Douglas A-20 Havoc crashed into the South Pacific due to engine problems, not shot-down.
