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.
It was close to $80 for me to put a fruit tray together for Thanksgiving. That ain’t right.
What used to cost $20 is now $60 under this criminal Regime.
Biden is the worst POTUS in our history! His term in office without an impeachment or forced resignation is testament to the corruption, incompetence and twisted ideologies of our Congress! He has committed several high crimes and misdemeanors, yet the Obama Cult in the bureaucracy continues to cover-up and ignore all Democrat crimes! This country is headed for Civil War and financial collapse because of Obama/ Biden administrations.
“,…because of the Obama/Biden administrations, set up by the “W” admin, and facillitated every step of the way by their co-conspirators, their comrades, McConnell, Ryan, McCarthy, McDaniels.”
FIFY
RIght on, can’t ignore the Bush Cheney participation into the Obama Biden disaster.
Nope, it was all one platform. Bush used 9/11 to keep him afloat. Obama used the race card and Americans suffering from white guilt and lacking of a spine due to being called “racist,” and Biden cheated and used fake ballots to get in to continue the same platform all three were pushing.
One time a friend mentioned that he didn’t understand how that picture with Obama, Bush, and Clinton could even be taken, they are ideological enemies. I just laughed, and said, “So, they have fooled you.”
Yep, I reckon this is coming very soon
Take “Biden” out of all of that and you’re dead-on.
LOL ok Marbles I was just at the market…they are selling on sale 4 cans of progresso soup for 12.59 cents Last year they were 4 cans for 5 bucks
A box of frosted flakes were 7.59 last year they were 3.59 – sliced apples were 7.59 last year they were 4.25
I could go on and on…but why bother…
My eyes are lyin now it turns out my wallet and those awful “corporations” known as supermarkets are also lyin.
As when natural weather occurances happen: winter storms, hurricanes, tornados, excessive rain, etc. that leads to fuel supply chain issues and gas prices go up….the prices going up in the stores must be due to corporate greed and price gauging….yeah, that’s it!!! That would be better than Joe just saying it doesn’t exist.
My lying eyes too country. They must be constantly lying. I’m ashamed of my eyes…..trying to compete with KJP.
This is similar to the example Tucker Carlson used on his segment about what 2024 will be.
You go to the pantry and see that half the Oreos are gone. You ask your son what happened to the Oreos. He lies and says he only took one, or maybe two. You know it is a lie and he looks guilty.
But, Tucker Carlson said, the lying by our government is a complete inversion of the truth. This is like your son answering about the Oreos, “No, Dad, YOU ate the Oreos.”
Are people actually fooled by Biden’s lies? Yes, unbelievably, they are. They believe him because a president doesn’t lie and he’s a good person.
They believe him because he is a democrat and democrat voters believe that democrats are on the side of the angels.
They don’t care and they are too stupid to know the math.
They spend more and more for less and less and think that republicans are stealing money from their bank accounts – really, I’ve heard this in the town where we live. Talk about brain-dead…
And many don’t even pay for their own stuff: welfare, foodstamps, and wic. All increased by the FJB admin to align with inflationary values last year. So, no, his bought and paid for constituents may are not feeling it because it’s not only were their checks increased but it’s not their money.
Even his strongest supporters have to be questioning his sanity.
All three of them ? ……three..that stood in the ridiculous circles at his rallies?
This is one stuffed turkey, someone forgot and left the giblets and neck inside this bird.
The Clown has zero shame. He knows damn right well he lying through his teeth. The name Biden has become synonymous with dishonesty, lying . Like Hillary Clinton he is no doubt a compulsive liar and can not by nature be truthful about anything. They could say something like “it’s a very cloudy day” but you still have to go out and check.
I’m shocked and Amazed at how easily they twist the truth to fit their narrative. After all they both have had a lifetime of practice. No matter how good they are ,you still know they are lying if their lips are moving.
He has no idea what he’s saying. They put this bravo-sierra in front of him and he “polly-parrots” it like a good fascist democrat. I doubt he’s even reading it. Someone tells him the sentence in his earpiece and he just mimics it out of his piehole.
A can of Carnation Condensed Milk at Albertsons is $3.99. A year or so ago they were 99 cents a can. I use it for making Vietnamese French Drip Coffee and Key Lime Pie. Same thing with Ocean Spray Cranberries and turkey gravy. The prices have more than tripled!
In late 2021, I bought several cans of condensed milk because it can be used in so many ways, if necessary, and it makes awfully good pumpkin pie. If you lived closer, I would share.
12oz. Can of Albacore tuna —$9.00 and change.
Joe Biden has lied so much for so long he actually believes his own lies.
The basic items I have checked at the local chain grocery store are up c. 15% – 50% or more.
Recently a $1.25 drink at McDonald’s jumped to $1.80. c. 40 % inflation!
If the record only includes his time in office, then yes, prices are the 4th lowest since he usurped the oval office. How does he prevaricate, let me count the ways.
Let’s call it what it is – lying. Even when telling the truth might benefit them, lying comes more naturally so it’s the automatic recourse.
If a liar is caught in a moment of truthfulness, it’s because, for that one moment, the truth doesn’t seem to provide the same level of comfort. Joe Biden is a liar, and he always has been. He doesn’t require handlers to help him to lie, he’s very practiced at it. “I’m awake, therefore I lie,” is his unspoken motto.
Who thinks Joe even knows the price of food? Does he shop, or go to the grocery store? Probably has a subscription food service and no clue on what it costs.
I think there is a better case here for complete ignorance rather than gaslighting, as bad as it is.
I have a feeling that included with his salary, is room and board at the WH. Bet they don’t even pay for special treats.
I was in a Publix today. Like almost everyone looking to buy meat, I only looked. Top Round was $9.99 /lb. For laughs I looked at Fillet Mignon. It was $29.99/lb.
Try some different stores right now for whole frozen turkeys. Lot’s of them didn’t sell and some will probably go for less than a whole chicken! I bought a twenty pound high quality bird for $7.85 total. They’re over shipping to the grocers for the holidays and folks aren’t buying. Plan ahead to cook and save by freezing for later what is not used.
Be prepared and scout for ham ahead of Christmas. Sad but the stores will probably be oversupplied again this year and they will cut rate price them to not be stuck with them going out of date.
Grocers hardly ever ship back items as it is cost prohibitive.
Folks are not buying because they can’t afford it. Don’t worry though, the illegals will be given the scraps paid for with our tax dollars, cooked in a living space paid for by our tax dollars, eaten by illegals wearing cloths paid for by our tax dollars, and then they go out and spend the $2500k a month of our tax dollars on other goodies. All while our kids, our elderly, our veterans, and others lose sports fields, Thanksgiving handouts, and other items meant for citizens paid for by our tax dollars.
Illegals- or otherwise known as U.S. Special Privilege Inhabitants.
1000 upvotes! Amen brother!
If the whole bird seems too much to freeze or cook all at once, have the butcher cut in half.(even frozen) Most grocery store butchers will do this. For me it’s easier to fit in the freezer and half a bird is plenty for my family.
Ahh, beef. I remember beef ☹️
Inflation is one of the reasons I have found that it is cheaper to eat a Turkey dinner out then try and cook the fixings, even on a small scale.
chocolate is way up this year
And as long as he says this the people will refuse to question it as their food bill grows, because surely the government is right and things aren’t all that bad?
Joe Biden has dementia and is insane. The problem is that 40 percent of the country believes him and is equally insane. Can’t fix stupid.
Are Biden’s claims gaslighting if he truly believes them?
It’s glaringly obvious that Joe’s mind is gone. He’s just not there at all and everybody knows it, his advisers most of all.
Could they just be gaslighting Joe and then putting him before the cameras to repeat their nonsense.
Does he even buy groceries, let alone know what his advisors are telling him??
Not that it matters any longer, but do you suppose this started with J Edgar Hoover, or did it pre-date even him?
Prices haven’t risen if you’re on food stamps.
Boy howdy, you said a mouthful
Biden should self censor for disinformation…..or is it misinformation?
Fjb
Today his story was helping with peace in the Middle east. He got rid of anything Donald Trump, and is taking credit for the Abrahms Accord. I absolutely HATE these people Like, For real.
The pretending goes on. MSM caries the mantle for this. THIS site provides clarity. They are losing but it’s gonna get ugly in ‘24+
Just another dose of bullshit in a sea of bullshit.
On a lighter note, I will leave this for those who have not heard/seen it. This may be my theme song. NOT the video. George W is in the video and that mf has no good place in my memories.
Life is Good!
That chart for food is more like every 6-12 months, not since Jan 2021
The more brain dead Biden lies, the better !
he has no idea what anything costs. He’s not in the real world. He only knows what his handlers tell him. He’s just a drone.
“There is no starvation in the Ukraine! All comrades are happy and well fed!”
-Stalin 1937
Ah, yes, … remembering Holodomor.
Gaslighting? It is called LYING. I thought things were gonna get tougher round here.
So dementia reads what someone else wrote. His team tells him how popular he is. He and his grifting family spent Thanksgiving at a 35 million $ estate in Nantucket. They didn’t spend a dime. He has no clue how the policies he is told to push are a disaster for most of us.
Once again it’s the middle class and working people who struggle more when food,shelter, transportation costs go up.The poor ( who don’t have it easy) are not as effected by all these higher prices. All the new arrivals are probably amazed at all the free stuff and it certainly must be better than where they came from because I haven’t noticed hugh lines leaving the US.
I used to be bothered about getting old. Now I am grateful my expiration date is nearing. At 71, I will be lucky to have 10 good years and the rest ? All of this is not in my hands. One day at a time and try to live my best life.
Best wishes to all on here ,pray and help others
Joey reminds me of a drunk/ junky. They lie, for selfish reasons. They do it so much they lose track of where truth and lie begin and end. Then everything becomes a lie, even when a lie is not needed. Then finally they believe their own lies.
It’s not a lie if you believe it.
George Costanza
Maybe Biden’s math is correct*
*if you allow for inflation.
Honestly, I don’t even think it’s gaslighting at this point, this habitual liar has such a long held ingrained habit of saying whatever occurs to him that he thinks might be politically useful that he doesn’t even think about it, it just comes out.
Pols are like fishing stories, the first liar doesn’t stand a chance!
It’s the same ploy covered in another recent CTH post: If the dictator in charge shows you a horse and says it’s a deer, you must agree that it’s a deer or be punished. If they can tell you a lie and force you to agree with it, they have reinforced their power over you.
Seems to me The Regime’s lies are increasingly blatant and outrageous, almost as if they are turning up the pressure on proles to surrender/conform.
Eff JB and the Kenyan Cabal too
And the horses they rode in on!
What’s wrong with horses?
Where can I file a complaint against my local market for price gouging?
The stupid senile Obama puppet says what is put on the teleprompter, he doesn’t even know where he is half the time!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Biden is delusional!

pathological liar: see joe malarkey for reference exhibit
https://www.miningjournal.net/opinion/2023/09/heres-why-biden-lies/
So why does Biden do this? To understand the source of his constant flagrant departures from reality, it’s worth reverting to the late philosopher Harry G. Frankfurt’s analysis in his classic essay, “On Bullshit.”
“It is impossible,” Frankfurt writes, “for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction.” The person doing it cares about the facts only “insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
Frankfurt adds that the spinner of these tales “does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
I refer to the great white embecile as simply (and I mean very simple) joe malarkey.
it’s an ironic insult to his person/persona.
for reasons only fools can understand, his own campaign tour people decided early that he needed a campaign slogan. So of course, they selected “no malarkey” and scrawled it on every vehicle and tour bus, including the banners. In a hot new york second, it was immediately mocked and ridiculed as an incredibly stupid attempt to develop credibility.
the reason why obama selected joe malarkey is because it would drive attention away from the failures and the secret agenda of obama and company and direct them to the number two bullshitter! And it worked. the lightbringer had developed his own style of insulation…anyone could point to the almost daily false claims made by joe malarkey and few would actually pay attention to what was more important: the obama was (and did) effect the first stages of a very serious transformation of the United States Central State. Joe malarkey was his huckleberry….the court clown…the village idiot.
and so, again, I raise this issue again. You do not need to be a rocket surgeon to understand the election of 2020 was fraudulent. Even if you do not understand the legal aspects, the muling, the mail boxes, the ballot dumping, the fake ballots, the dead rolls, the electronic irregularities, the courts that failed/refused to recognize evidence of fraud…that state assemblies refused to serve the constitution and the people they are oathed to serve..you don’t really need to have any level of understanding of THOSE POINTS to draw a reasonable and proper recognition that the election result was fraudulent.
HOW CAN A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND BULL SHITTER GET ELECTED?
remember the genius collection of founders…they understood one of the risks that could subvert the election of a president:
for these REASONS, the founders actually articulated HOW THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE would be contructed:
a. that they be loyal and faithful to the state constituency..the people would not be betrayed.
b. that a specific QUALIFICATION/TEST would be used by each state to properly inspect for fraudsters..or cheaters..or criminals…tricksters…immoral people who attempt to defraud the agency of the elected position.
c. That congress would and can and does have the proper authority to “certify OR NOT’ each state electoral slate.
this is my understanding. It is also obvious that while the founders were keen in introducing some measures they also understood that the very structure of our UNION would make it unlawful and prohibitive for the federal government to force rules upon states with respect to how they would regulate their own electoral processes, including the rules to prevent fraud.
it is MOST DISSAPOINTING (to say the least) that nearly all states have not adopted serious rules regarding qualifications….The ideas and risks identified by the founders, well discussed and debates, numerous times, have been ignored by states. The fact is that the only rules in place for “qualification” are age, citizenship, state of residency, and being an air breather.
THUS is was inevitable that eventually, the country would find itself with a complete bullshitter and pathological liar in the white house. Who is also a criminal and possibly someone who has pedo tendencies if not outright a sexual pervert.
this what happens when states ignored the genius of our founders….
God Bless America
From the article you linked – this is key:
Well, to be fair to Joe Malarky- not every family has a grandfather born at two different hospitals on the same day, three states apart. But Joe did……or so he said. C’mon man that makes him special.
That was sarcasm for those who don’t ‘pick up on such things.
yes, and it shows concretely that he is the worst type of bullshitter.
a high grade bullshitter will say bullshit to result some reward and the bullshit will be just tolerable that no one really cares to verify or test. I made the internet…al gore. no, he did not…but the way that he frames it, which can be seen as true (he was instrumental in making regulations and law and funding that did in fact help promote and expand the modern internet.) but the manner in which he makes the claim, leads to a warped and lopsided version of history. Al gore could not code basic to save his life much less build workable networks. he would not know how to write code for tcp/ip is he spent years studying it. He made no discoveries or breakthroughs. he happened to be in the right place at the right time and was in congress at the time to boost the internet along. that’s it. So, he rates a high grade bullshitter, because it depends on which caveats you apply (or ignore) when evaluating his claim.
a medium grade bullshitter is someone who makes a claim that can be neither proven nor disproven. But it’s almost always a outrageously ridiculous claim and riddled with exaggeration. the stunt of this bullshitter is to claim recognition…listen/watch me. They bullshit to gain attention. s
“I saw a UFO yesterday”…okay great, sure…no one can test that. so you can bullshit about it all day long and it really doesn’t make a difference other than making a bold claim to get attention.
a low grade bullshillter is someone who gains nothing, not even attention by spewing bullshit. There is actually no benefit whatsover for the bullshit. because it can be easily checked and tested and proven TO BE BULLSHIT. This is the most dangerous type of bullshitter….they chase cars because they are dogs and dogs chase cars. There is no reason for the bullshit, they just have added making bullshit part of their image/persona. Like perhaps I might like to tell a colorful story, which may or may not be entirely truthful..but I do so for comedic relief…to get a laught…satire…it’s actually part of my culture and family ,..we like to adds color to our stories…but it’s innocent and not to be confused with serious talk. I imagine I am not unlike many other who enjoy telling a tall take to pull someone’s leg and have a laugh. It puts people at ease this kind of humor. I saw a woman today in walmart who had an ass so big that two parishes can’t agree on jurisdiction. No, I didn’t see that big of an ass. but it’s fun to make up stories for a good laugh. but for the low grade bullshitter, the dotard bullshiter there is no gain…no reward…no laugh..no satire and comedy and there isn’t any reason to pretend the bullshit has any purpose. I did the math and 2 plus 2 can equal between 3.8 and 4.2.. NO, it cannot. That can be tested and has been tested. No one can arrive at the math. it cannot work. And more importantly there is no reason to make the claim. it just a dumb decision to make up such bullshit.
joe malarkey is a low grade bullshitter and pathological liar. No, the economy is NOT good. this can be proven with official US agency data. It’s not just wrong, but COMPLETELY WRONG.
and here’s the thing…by making up this bullshit, serves no purpose…it does not promote his adminstration and policies in a good light at all…because again, this is easily debunked as complete and utter bull shit. And so by making this bullshit claim, the effects are precisely opposite. it insults and spoils the interests of others…it tears down credibilty and demonstrates incompetence and failure. So the low grade bullshitter, joe malarkey repeatedly destroys any possible angle of positive narrative. There is no such thing as “talking up the economy” by the way. The policies are either solid and produce good results or they do not. You cannot “imagine” or “talk past” or “dream” your way into economic security. it just doesn’t work like that. this isn’t the lottery, where you spin the wheel or scratch off random numbers and hope for the best. No, it requires hard work and seriously talented people who are respected and have proven records to lead economic policies that are agile and flexible. This administration possess NONE OF THESE PEOPLE. But that doesn’t explain WHY joe malarkey bullshits about it. the hard reality is that joe malarkey isn’t just a very corrupt person, but he is very stupid….dense stupid…obtuse to the point where he cannot evaluate information and make decisions according to change. He is a simpleton. A low grade good for nother bullshitter, who is ruining this country, it’s people. This is what happens when corrupt secret police spy state installs a muppet, criminal, sexual pervert, druggie and bullshitter. This is the result.
I withdrawal all consent to this corrupt and broken administration…at every level.
God Bless America
While your comment is not 100% on topic…….
It’s 100% on topic!
Regi-Tiger is 100 percent correct!
This comment is gold!
Joe doesn’t say nonsense like this because he believes it, he says it because he knows the typical liberal voter will believe it.
see my remarks…it is solely my opinion, but I believe we need to actually understand that joe malarkey does not KNOW the truth and neither is he interested in truth…and so technically, he cannot be a liar. He is a bull shitter. Which is far more dangerous in effect. A liar, knows the truth, knows that what they are doing is a deliberate process to trick. I do not believe joe malarkey understands this. And this makes people like him, bull shitters VERY DANGEROUS.
let me get to the point: a liar (someone who knows the truth) is being deceptive…this means they have understanding and consequently the lies they create are designed for some specific outcome…usually to self promote or to deflect from accountability. But that can be inspected for. One can evaluate a liar and construct reason and find truth and thus the person can be judged. (it’s one of the reasons why our court systems acknowledge that people of DIMINISHED CAPACITY may not be held to the same legal standard of criminal intent…they may not know right from wrong…this is a good way to analogue what I am trying to discuss here). On the other hand, someone like joe malarkey, a pathological liar…bull shitter, does not know the truth…he just opens his mouth and out comes random (although often repeated ad naseum) spews of bull shit. He is LOCKED into a type of ground hog day existence. he repeats his bull shit, not because he chooses to lie, but because he has chosen these things to BE TRUE. he has invented his own reality…a bull shit reality. And you can’t deal with someone like this. You cannot reason with it. it past being a hard headed embecile.
couple this to his diminished state and you have chaos on two weak and stumbling legs.
It might seem a difference that is moot, but when it comes to things like how to effectively remove a person from the white house under current law and custom, someone like a bull shitter pathological liar is actually much harder to remove than someone who is a simple liar and cheat. A good example is someone like santos. who does that happen, and why does it continue to happen?
As for a solution to this kind of risk to national security I can only imagine who state’s will need to reinforce some kind of qualifications standards for electoral college…as the founders discussed..but were ignored.
God Bless America
Dang, your clarity is on a roll!
Truly, it is.
“The press is particularly excited about that, I can see”
The senior lizard in the WH is now pissing in our Wheaties and telling us he hopes we FO and die. That’s what this is. It’s good for my stress that I haven’t watched much of his antique pie hole since he occupied the WH.
In a twisted and demented sort of way I never thought I’d say, I look forward to when this country burns. God will not be mocked.
Eggs are missing in all of the above databases. They have jumped 200% here in AZ. Earlier in the year they were $10/doz.
MAO Xiden who attended Joesef Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda School for GASLIGHTING!
Fourth lowest for him. For the rest of us not so much.
That was 4 or 5 people clapping. Lol
Don’t blame Obiden.
I don’t think he is actually in control.
You CAN blame every son-of-bitch in Congress from both parties that supports and votes for his policies.
Vote them all out.
Why do we say “gaslighting” when we should be calling him the “bald-faced liar” that he is?
I’m so sick and tired of his LIES!! Corruption at its best.
Who writes this stuff for him to read?
