Joe Biden took gaslighting to an entirely new dimension today during remarks to brag about the recovery of U.S. supply chains during his administration tenure.
As incredible as it sounds, Joe Biden actually claimed Thanksgiving food prices were the fourth lowest in history despite the astronomical prices we pay at the grocery store. This is economic gaslighting in the extreme as the inflationary data from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics proves.
First, here is the claim by Joe Biden:
See below for a chart of food and energy price increases since Biden took office.
SOURCES: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employment, Hours, and Earnings from the Current Employment Statistics Survey (National).” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Consumer Price Index.” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “PPI Commodity Data.” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Consumer Price Index News Release.”
Since President Joe Biden took office:
- Inflation surged to the highest level in over 40 years. Despite slowing their rise lately, consumer prices are up nearly 17.1% overall. Gasoline is up 50.3%.
- Average weekly earnings haven’t kept pace with prices. After adjusting for inflation, “real” weekly earnings dropped 3.9%.
.
The claim by Joe Biden is so over-the-top incredible, it was noted by Senator Rick Scott of Florida.
What the heck? This is hilarious – how stupid does he think we the people are…seriously. Notice how long it took for the clapping seals to respond-I think they were waiting to see if it was a joke or not or they were stunned until one of Obidens flunkies started the round of applause and they followed along. Esh
“how stupid does he think we the people are…seriously”
How else do you think he got where he is? He’s speaking to his constituency.
All two of them.
He got to where he is because the democratic party has become a master at stealing elections. Like being a proponent of climate change, being a democrat has become a kind of religion. A sick demented religion to be sure, but a religion just the same.
Its really pretty easy to “Master” stealing elections.
“Step 1) Infiltrate and gain control over the opposition party, so that it no longer actually opposes your agenda, and only purports to, while actually facillitating it.”
“And,…? So whats ‘step 2’?”
“There IS NO ‘step 2’; once you achieve step 1, you have “Mastered” the Stealing of elections.”
And they lap up everything he says word for word.
He knows those who voted Democrat in 2020 (all 8 million of them) are that stupid. The 73 million ballots which were mysteriously mailed in with Joe’s bubble filled in only let you know that Democrats really are that stupid!
That many? Damn! And I wonder how many were switched from Trump, who already officially received the most legal votes of any Presidential candidate in history, to Dementia Joe?
We may never know how many were switched for sure, but certainly, it was a bunch, scientifically speaking that is.
I doubt the rats who stole the election are feeling that stupid because what they did worked so far and they’re probably living high on the hog from the grift they enabled with their sock puppet signing laws without even knowing what he’s signing.
Yhey need an “applause” sign, or better yet one of those machines that enabled tv shows to do away with live audiences, altogether.
Shock collars would be apropos.

This message was not for you or I, it was intended for the mush heads who truly believe what they hear on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, and MSNBC is factual. When you control MSM you can say whatever you wish and they will broadcast it.
They debase themselves when they do not all him out
Yeah, but the money is good.
How does a mush head CNN ect viewer wrap their head around the words they hear from MSM and the number they see when they check out at the grocery store or get their electric bill?
Not everybody has the ability to think independently. Myself I would call those people followers others would call them sheep.
It does not matter how you describe them, so to your question that group of people just follow others and march off the edge of the cliff and meet their own demise. When your eyes see for themselves that things are bad, and your ears hear everything is great, what do you believe?
I assume AI is at play in pricing, marketing, logistics in general
Instead of obvious sudden shocking inflation we have gentle, nudging, ratcheting shrinkflation
So, you might be spending the same, but what you get is smaller or worse quality or you are adjusted to it over 3 years
https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/co/2023/08/10206062/1PllS9QGxvG
Inflation has been “progressively” nudged and we have been “AI nudged” to accept it
Biden voters, the 20% of the professional class servicing the multinationals who actually love Bidan and voted for him don’t see prices go up. The things they want, luxury items, prices are going down. They don’t care if gas is 10$ or if a steak is 10$ more.
Bidan voters (professional laptop class, advanced degree types) are seeing prices drop in their world
https://www.forbes.com/sites/pamdanziger/2023/07/29/luxury-leaders-sales-drop-in-us-as–aspirational-consumers-put-new-purchases-on-hold/?sh=59fe455c415c
all those smell aspirational new rich types have given up buying homes in the Hamptons, and thats a good thing for them
hence, Bidan makes a victory lap
Bi Dan?
fake Biden

They are seeing prices drop but are they putting new purchases on hold?
“The leading global luxury brands showed topline gains for the first half of the year, despite a drop in sales in the U.S., where aspirational consumers are stretched thin and have cut back on indulgent purchases.”
history = the last five minutes
that’s as far back as he can remember
Even the Democrats are waking up. Sadly, its going to get even worse.
I wonder if Joe Biden actually believes these claims about a booming economy and rising standards of living. We know he’s senile, if he doesn’t even know what day it is how can he know what’s really happening in the world?
Somewhere in Your question lies the answer. 😂😂
I’m looking forward to the cognitive dissonance when his campaign can no longer deny reality.
That day won’t come because they’ll just lie, as always, and expect us to find a way to believe them.
We’ve already seen Joe get angry when reporters ask him about his terrible polling. He’s completely flummoxed about how he can be so unpopular when he’s delivering the best economic results in 50 years.
Part of the disconnect is they measure Joe’s numbers from the lowest point of the artificial COVID recession, rather then Trump’s boom. And we know NOBODY blames President Trump for COVID except Joe.
No way Jeffrey. He knows nothing except which night he gets pudding and which night he gets ice cream. Unless, of course, he is faking all of this in an effort to look incompetent and senile, and therefore, can not stand trial for any crimes committed ( similar to “Junior Soprano” in the Sopranos show)
His beach friends tell him what a great job he’s doing every weekend. When he’s not taking a nap or eating ice cream.
Dazzle them in brilliance or baffle them with BS
Option “B” please for $100.
I didn’t watch the video of Lyin Biden. Can’t bear to hear his voice. I also cannot stand to even see his face. I used to revel at the sight of him looking and acting (being) the fool. No longer. This schiff show should have been ended by now. He – his administration has dragged the USA down to the pits of Hades.
Me either! Like the big eared Kenyan I refuse to watch or listen to liars lie!! Same goes for Jose!!
God Bless America!!!
Who is Jose?
Joe FJB!
Me either. Cannot stand the sight nor sound of that demon.
It just occurred to me that Joetato will need a new grift when he leaves office in 2025.
Even in his diminished condition, he cannot simply stop his deep seated compulsion to continue grifting.
That has always been his life. I don’t see him lasting long once it stops. Much like what happens to many men who retire with no hobbies or outdoor activities.
So, I expect some sort of post presidential grift to continue. Probably to be established by his wife or son, no doubt.
The Biden Global Intiative?
This is how they lie and get away with it.

What is mind numbing is at least some Liberals believe it. Those that don’t still proclaim
in loud voices, ” but it would be worst under Trump”.
You can’t fix stupid. These same voters if asked are you religious say, ” I am spiritual”. Liberals
worship the face they see in the mirror.
“But it would be worse under Trump!”
“Yes, I have been vaxed and boosted and still got the ‘vid 3 times, hospitalised once,…but it would have been WORSE without the boosters!”
Its true, you really can NOT fix stupid.
Sometimes you have to wave bye-bye as the lemming head off the cliff.
Does his “brain” rattle when he speaks ?
No. Sound waves don’t travel in a vacuum.
In Joe’s skull, no one can hear you say “ice cream.”
(h/t Alien)
“Lost in Space” wasn’t supposed to be a documentary.
Joe Biden is Baghdad Bob and Joe Isuzu rolled into one.
But there’s a lot of that going around.
Retired Magistrate here: Between the huge increase in home heating oil and food increases, life is getting really interesting! I liked it much better when it wasn’t so interesting under President Trump.
…and they still lie
That sheet eaten grin on his face is known as the Liar’s Smirk. What other fabrications does he have in store for us????? Maybe that he got 81 million votes in the 2020 election?
It’s not gaslighting, it is plan old fashioned lying.
Will: “In case you may be wondering, yes, he (his handlers anyway) really do think that the American people are that stupid.”
That, plus they are confident the fix is already in for 2024 and it doesn’t really matter how many Americans are smart enough to see through their gaslighting.
On the other hand, just how many Americans really are that stupid? (Or better stated, that willfully blind to the facts?)
The great majority of the true blue Democrats I know personally have mentally rewritten the history of the last five years to blame Donald Trump for inflation, placing the beginnings of today’s serious inflation into the third year of Trump’s 1st term.
As these people tell it, for the last three years since he entered the White House, Joe Biden and his economic team — in addition to pulling America out of the ‘Trump depression’ — have been fighting a tough but winning battle against the ‘Trump inflation’.
And they say all this sh*t with a completely straight face.
Exactly! Dominion software is still running. Don’t care how many people vote for Trump, he will never be president again.
! President Trump Won and Will Win Again!!
God is on Our side! No worries!! Our Lion!!
2024!!!!
If he didn’t carry electoral college certification then he didn’t win. And yet we can’t imagine life without that system.
TPTB will not ever let him screw them again.
And where in the Constitution does it say we have no choice but to use Dominion? (Or ES&S, Smartmatic, Hart, whatever.)
Wait a minute. I’m no expert at “gaslighting”, but I think I know generally how it works. And one thing, for it to have any chance of being effective, it has to have some possibility of being true… right? I mean if you tell someone A is true, when they can see for themselves it’s not, it can’t be 100% obviously false. The victim of your attempted gaslighting has to think to themselves… “hmm, I don’t think that’s right, but maybe? I don’t know, I guess it’s possible that I’m just not understanding. So yeah, maybe, I don’t know… hmm…”
But when there is ZERO chance of a person being fooled by your little game, what’s the point? Biden and his puppet-masters MUST know nobody will believe a word of this, and in fact it’ll make Biden look even WORSE, then… well I just don’t get what they’re trying to do.
They do it because they are sick, perverse, malignant, pernicious and plain darn EVIL.
Silly man. Tricks are for non-believers.
Yeah, if you’re an illegal alien.
RULES FOR RADICALS: Continue to repeat the BS over and over and eventually the masses will believe you because the MSM has said it is so!
A regular sized tin of Clover Valley (their generic) Black Pepper at Dollar General today…Blew me away…5 bucks.
Now, explain that doubling in price from pre-WuFlu. Pepper tree blight or something? Price of fuel getting those corns and putting them in the grinder? The price of steel in the can? Come on, man.
That’s just plain ol’ gouging. My Gen-M gamer son is correct–These companies are partly to blame in all of this mess.
Yeah. So much for “Dollar General.” What, now $5.00 Dollar General?????
IMO. they are now ALL gouge pricing, BECAUSE THEY CAN.
I just said that to a friend the other day. Dollar General is now $5 General. Same for Family Dollar. And no, they are not “price gouging”. The cost of doing business for them has increased.
Your comment piqued my curiosity so I searched it. Pepper prices have gone up because of the increase in demand of international markets.
“While pepper consumption in Southeast Asia has surged almost by four-folds, in China, the demand has increased by 200%. In the European market, the demand has increased at a slower rate of 15% and 45% in North America.
In Asia, the demand has been propelled by increased meat products, increased wealth, and disposable income.”

Obviously Hunter isn’t the only Biden smoking crack.
So almost goes without saying but Biden isn’t doing anything here. He was already out to lunch during the 2020 debates. He’s completely gone now and has no idea what’s even in his diaper.
If I were Team Biden, I would keep lying and lying with bigger and bigger lies. Look at our society. Women can be men, men can be women. Two plus two is whatever. Our entire US society is a huge lie everywhere you look. Why is this so offensive or unique?
Communists lie and they lie with boldness and the media in america will help as much as they can. If I were a sadistic commie POS, I would do the same thing. Why not?
Honestly, you really can’t blame them.
The American people have bought so much (bullshit) for so long, its not unreasonable for them to think they can now tell us ANY lie, and have it believed.
“the Domino theory”, “the tongin gulf incident”, “the lone gunman”,.”the 9/11 hoax” .how about the “no reasonable prosecutor” and “manchurian candidate”, and then of coarse theres COVID, masks, etc.
If you can conduct the mental contortions needed, to see things from their point of view,…its really not unreasonable for them to believe they can tell us ANY lie, no matter HOW Preposterous.
80% of the hundreds of millions of sheep who got the jab will probably believe
I don’t even believe that many people took jabs. They lied to make it look like us unjabbed are in the minority.
fanbeav,
I agree. We know they lie about everything, we know Covid Plandemic was ALL a hoax, we know they used a bogus test and conflating of admission/death WITH #’s with FROM #’S,…
and we know that THEY are the only ones with the data, on HOW MANY people were actually jabbed.
So, why WOULDN’T they inflate the #’s, to make us look like a small, disgruntled segment of the population?
They are all taking them. A friend recently old me that she and her husband — who has cancer and other serious ills — just got the most recent shot in the series because, “with their existing health problems, they can’t risk getting a virus.” I’ve lost count of all the shots they’ve already had.
I don’t tell friends the truth any more, because they just think I’m annoying when I do.
They Lie To Us, We Know They’re Lying, They Know We Know They’re Lying But They Keep Lying Anyway, and We Keep Pretending To Believe Them.
I do not pretend to believe them.
An awful lot of US refuse to pretend.
Nor do I…I can plainly see “the emperor has no clothes”
Lying Trailer Trash Filth.
Easy there. The trailer trash just phoned and they are offended.
I’m white, and I live in a trailer, with 3 more in storage. So I guess that makes me “White Trailer trash” and like “Deplorable”, proud of it.
I own my trailers, I own my vehicles that I use to move em, I own my property, I owe nobody and can comfortably survive quite well on an income the Givernment says is “poverty level”.
And, it bothers me not when people who are mortgaged to the hilt, Insured up the ying-yang, and stressed to the max, call me “white trailer trash”.
Now I love you even more.
One of the dumbest things I can think of is buying something that is way more of a ‘want’ than a ‘need’ on credit; thus, raising the cost to you by the amount of interest charged.
Have to admit, it took me years to learn that.
That man has no clue what is going on… NO CLUE!
We paid $22 for a 6lb turkey breast this thanksgiving. TWENTY TWO DOLLARS!!!!
I cannot wait until dementia Joe is done done done… and GONE.
I bought a FROZEN Julian Apple Pie (popular in SoCal) this weekend, didn’t even look at the price when I grabbed in the grocery store. Got to the check out and it was $24.99! 😱😱😱😱 for a frozen, un-baked apple pie. Joebama is just out-right lying.
Wow!
Ohhhh… I miss the Apple Festivals in Julian.
I remember as a child going to Ramona and Julian.
We lived in the San Pasquale valley. California was wonderful then.
We moved to Washington state and it was wonderful then. Then enough of the BS and now live in Montana.
I paid $11 for an unbaked pie that was $4 under Trump.
Joe Biden is a Communist Lying Criminal POS.
They don’t care whether or not we know they’re lying! They’re in charge and we’re supposed to just lay down and let them drive the steam roller over us. FJB is responsible for all of it but isn’t doing any of it himself. HRH FBHO, Soros, et. al. are the “brains” behind all of it.
Puppet Joe will read anything put in front of him.
Please clap.
They lie and lie and lie as part of their psy-ops. No accountability. No opposition in the MSM to challenge them.
Same with the CIA, FBI, DOJ and the rest.
Let’s look for a root cause. Do not blame the empty bag of skin that Brandon is as he will say whatever he is told because he is the useful idiot.
Who is really making the decisions? Barack Hussein, WEF, Major Corporations, George Soros, do we really know? We know that Brandon is not, that we know and when the useful idiot has served his purpose someone will poison his ice cream, they will call it a heart attack, and his family will ride off into the sunset with hundreds of millions of dollars and live happily ever after.
I wonder what it would take to “hack” the teleprompter system, and insert ,….use your imagination.
PDJT, would not be drawn in, and would just “wing it” and frankly many politicians and talking heads would quickly realise “something was up” but Joe would, I suspect just keep on reading.
Just imagine,..”yes, I really DID steal the 2020 election, and molest my children,..and I really AM Xi’s agent!”
Says the jack ass.

Anything is Possible ..
The Babylon Bee has competition. Good Grief!
Biden’s declaration in regard 2023 inflation is another in a line of “measuring sticls”. A measuring device to determine the level of cognitive consciousness of the USA citizenry.
Any level of belief in Biden’s declaration by any individual or group is a clear display of refusing to acknowledge one’s personal requirement for the daily bread and housing. Label the condition denial or delusion or cheerleading a lost cause are not attributes in a healthy citizenry.
Just remember to point and laugh.
Lemme guess…. prices haven’t been this cheap since we went Dutch with the natives.
It doesn’t matter, he loves abortion. All Dems aboard the Biden train.
One, I do think they think we are stupid.
But Ole’ Joe is so far gone, that he really believes this. You can see it in his eyes, he does.
How sad that we as a country have fallen this far, this fast.
Think how many Ukranians would be alive if Democrats had not rigged and stole the 2020 election.
..to answer your qst….approx…500,000 and 50,000+ without leg/arm…saaaaaaad thanks for 500+clappin seals in the CON gress and BoJo….
any Fact Checkers calling him out? didnt think so
Has anyone checked how much their car and homeowners insurance went up?! Holy S!#@! Those two alone ate up all of the raise I got this year…FJBLGB!!!
I had to cut a lot of my coverage just to what’s legally needed…My rates went up twice in the last year on the 6th month renewal…40% the first 6 months and 20% the next 6 months…Geico…And they didn’t even give me a notice…My wife and I have never made a claim…I called them and they said it was due to repair rates going up in our state (Vermont)….I let them know how being a good cutomer over the last 10 or so years with them didn’t even afford me a heads up or explaination.
I can’t quite make sense of food prices. I shop at Walmart in SouthFL, and I noticed that they cut prices significantly on many Thanksgiving dinner items in November:
I was there today and all prices back to pre-November levels, which reflect the significant inflation that Biden’s money printing machine has brought the USA.
What a maroon.
I noticed the price of BirdsEye frozen vegetables this year and compared them to when we had a real leader in the White House. These are sale prices: 2023-$2/pkg, 2020-$1/pkg. I don’t know if the weights were the same—if they are different, they didn’t make them larger.
“Sandwich shop monopoly”? Is she nucking futs?
Rhetorical question but when did the phrase “gaslighting” replace “lying” or the more street worthy “bullsh!tting”
The firm which employs me raised the daily food per diem travel budget this year by 25%. Even so one has to be judicious. Eating at a restaurant is expensive with tips etc. My MO is to eat food bought at a grocery store. On day one of the week I get butter, bread, cereal, milk etc. that we all have at home for late night snacks before bed in the hotel. Unquestionably, prices are up bigly. Fruit is very expensive. Whole baked chickens are smaller and about twice the price from just a few years ago. Nowadays I take a French press with me, buy and grind coffee beans in the store which saves $4.00 plus for each cup bought from a sbux store or the like. There are ways to save money on food. But it requires a lot of effort and planning.
I wonder if he actually has any clue or if it’s just what they tell him when they tell him when he’s taking his Alzheimer’s meds.
“As a share of earnings this Thanksgiving, dinner was the fourth cheapest ever on record.”
WTH kind of Voodoo Economics is this “as a share of earnings” nonsense?
