Joe Biden never let the truth slow him down - Dementia Joe doesn't know what the truth is anymore. //

But that was ALWAYS Joe Biden’s biggest problem — he was willing to say pretty much anything about himself if he thought it enhanced his standing in the media or the Democrat Party. Here are some of the lines that drove him from the race in September 1987 when the NYT and Des Moines Register reported the plagiarism: //

In May 1987, in a speech before the Welsh Labour Party, Neil Kinnock had delivered the following lines: //

some reporters recognized that Biden had used these lines before, and when he did he had attributed them to Kinnock — he didn’t claim them for his own. But it was also beyond dispute that in the instances cited by the NYT and Des Moines Register, Biden had personalized that part of the stump speech without referencing Kinnock — and several other aspects of Kinnock’s earlier speech — and claimed them for his own. //

What came to be more widely understood in the aftermath of Biden’s departure from the race because of the controversy over Kinnock’s biography was that Biden was a serial offender, taking parts of speeches without attribution from other prominent Democrats over the years. Again, without the benefit of the internet, this took a decent amount of legwork by political reporters.

In a speech to the California Democratic Party Biden used without attribution passages from a speech given by Robert F. Kennedy had John F. Kennedy. In 1985 and 1986 Biden’s speeches used without attribution a passage from a 1976 speech by Hubert H. Humphrey. //

As a part of the Kinnock controversy, it was revealed that Biden had been involved in a similar incident during his first year at Syracuse University School of Law in 1965. Biden initially received an “F” in an introductory class on the legal methodology for writing a paper relying almost exclusively on a single Fordham Law Review article, which he had cited only once. //

Dementia Joe knows he’s running for President. Dementia Joe knows that he’s been a prominent politician in the United States for nearly 50 years. Dementia Joe knows that he SHOULD know things of substance and significance. Dementia Joe knows the stories that are in his head, and that he should be able to tell just as he’s told them for decades. So he does.

But Dementia Joe no longer knows if those stories are all true, partly true, or not true at all.

Joe Biden knew, but didn’t concern himself with such unimportant details. But Joe Biden isn’t running for President.

Dementia Joe is on the ballot for the Democrat Party.
