Biden cures cancer and the White House transcript office won’t even give him credit for it
First, the claim:
Next, the transcript:
“If you could do anything at all, Joe, what would you do?” I said, “I’d cure cancer.” And they looked at me like, “Why cancer?” Because no one thinks we can. That’s why. And we can. We can end cancer as we know it.
Winston Smith at the Minitrue.
It certainly could be the case that that’s what Biden meant to say. It definitely is true that that’s what his handlers wish he had said. But it’s also true that it’s a bizarre error to have made, indicative of a trait Biden has had for his entire life: being a grandiose braggart.
Trump is a grandiose braggart too, but on a smaller and more understandable scale. And I’ve never seen any evidence of dementia in Trump, although his critics – the same ones who are silent on Joe’s cognitive decline – kept pointing out supposed evidence of Trump’s senility. Trump’s bragging takes a more ordinary form than Joe’s, and is more in the nature of exaggeration: the crowd attending his speech was the biggest, he was the greatest – that sort of thing. In that regard, Trump reminded me and still reminds me somewhat of Mohammed Ali, and much like Ali he often has been able to accomplish what he said he would accomplish.
Biden reminds me of no one and nothing. He doesn’t even remind me of the many cognitively challenged people I’ve visited over the years in nursing homes. There is something more odd and repellent about Biden, and it was present even before his current slow fade: something arrogant, bold, sly, mendacious, and cunning.
Neo, you real nail it when describing Biden in the present and through the years. Continued support for this man and this administration only confirms the absolute grip the MSM has on a large contingent of people who successfully hold us hostage to the madness.
This infuriates me.
Yes, there have been advances in the treatment of cancer. But it is very expensive and difficult to make advances on any cancer much less solid tumor cancers like pancreatic, brain and lung cancer. Biden barely graduated at the bottom of his class at a mediocre law school. And he wants to take credit for one of the most difficult things in human history!
Right now I’m invested in a biotech company that really is working on a cure for cancer. And I can tell you it is a long hard slog even with millions from Michael Dell. TCRT is the symbol. Do your own due diligence.
My mentor, Fr. Schlegel, died of pancreatic cancer. One of my best friends lost her husband to lung cancer and he never smoked a day in his life. Two Omaha lawyers I knew died of brain cancer.
Have we ever been this regularly exposed to someone in serious cognitive decline?
I saw some collection of denials he made about not being involved in Hunter’s business and many were from 2019 and he was clearly much sharper he was engaging with several questioners at once and he didn’t have the tell tale vacant look on his face.
Of course he was lying his ass off but at least he was better able to pull it off.
When thinking about Biden’s mendaciousness and absurd braggadociousness, I always remember that infamous moment back when he was running in `88 when he snapped and some guy about how smart he was and brazenly lied about his academic record. He’s always been an inveterate liar of low character. He’s not even an exaggerator, just a straight liar.
We saw an article yesterday about how many times the new Biden German Shepherd has bitten Secret Service agents, including sending one agent to the hospital. My husband remarked that the dog resembles his owner. (And this is not a knock on German Shepherds. Properly trained, they are wonderful dogs.)
It seems to have manifested in Biden in him being the same pathetic liar but being less able to convincingly pull off his own BS but I’m not sure if that is how it usually goes.
My grandmother had Alzheimer’s and died when I was 10 so I don’t remember much of her before her decline but from all I heard she could be very judgmental and cruel towards people and when she started to decline this got worse and she became more cutting and even violent but I have also heard of people who were the nicest, sweetest people in the world who become very mean and abusive.
Jill Biden might be the most reprehensible person in modern American political life and that is really saying something I admit.
“ something arrogant, bold, sly, mendacious, and cunning.”
Accurate. Another way you’ve described him, Neo, is “not very nice, not very smart, not very honest.” (Not necessarily in that order.) I’ve often quoted that.
I don’t think these are slip ups or word scrambling, to me he has made up his own world history and his life and its as real to him as real history is to you or me.
There is something more odd and repellent about Biden, and it was present even before his current slow fade: something arrogant, bold, sly, mendacious, and cunning.
He reminds me of the administrators in That Hideous Strength.
Griffin (3:31 pm) said: “Jill Biden might be the most reprehensible person in modern American political life and that is really saying something I admit.”
Griffin, I’m sure you fully realize that that indictment includes Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Love that. It sounds like something Al Swearengen would say about Cy Tolliver.
I think I can put that a bit more tersely Neo, “Trump exaggerates, Biden just lies.”
BTW Oddly enough there are people that try to argue that Biden isn’t trying to take credit and we misunderstood him, cough cough Ann Althouse. For those that think Joe wouldn’t take credit for something he didn’t do or didn’t even happen all you need to see is his tweet (or X or whatever) where he claimed he stopped ebola. (He was lying, anybody want me to explain why it’s utter claptrap?)
I have worked in long term care facilities for 30 years (Physical Therapy). His behavior reminds me of Alzheimer’s dementia patients who also have the diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder, a particularly nasty combination. But, I’m no doctor, just some therapy guy.
“odd and repellent … arrogant, bold, sly, mendacious, and cunning”
Spot on Boss, but that won’t appear in his eulogy nor his grave marker. It’ll be the conversation he has at the last day though. Good luck with that Joe
“Cunning” implies a degree of intelligence that Biden does not have; but, yes “arrogant … sly ,and mendacious” are apt descriptors for this career politician.
He’ll be gone by January of 2025, regardless of the identity or party of his successor. As I’ve previously said, I become more convinced with each passing day he’ll be swapped out for Newsom. Today provided plenty of additional evidence.
It sounded to me like Biden was trying to say “We’d end cancer as we know it,” but he misspoke (surprise!)
I wonder if he has been intensively drilled to memorize what his handlers want him to say. It looked like he wasn’t reading from notes, but was glancing around shifty-eyed like a purse-snatcher in a crowded room.
And that dolt will more than likely be re-elected next year (and definitely will be if Donald trump is his opponent).
‘Remember Jerry, it’s not a lie if you believe it”
George Costanza
Joe Biden believes everything he says including making Corn Pop stand down.
hes a fabulist fraud, thats who the deep state wanted, and they did everything in their power to ensure he would be installed,
And yet there are those who will listen to that video and STILL refuse to not only acknowledge his decline but reject that he even said what he did, adamantly espousing that “We” was really “We’n” and there was no “ed” on “end”. I’m sure it was written differently but that’s what he said.
Some of them are bloggers.
Trend to be expected in obits and public service announcements?
“He passed away after a short struggle with lung “as we know it (AWKI).”
Or don’t delay your mamograms, they are essential for detection of breast AWKI.
Then again, Brandon is fully, “as we know it,” alert, oriented, and aware of his surroundings. (not)
AWKI, the real killer of nations.
Biden reminds me of the Walter Mitty story but Biden says it lout loud and believes it. As for Trump, I am reminded of the Dizzy Dean quote: “It ain’t braggin if you can do it.” Conrad Black, in his book on Trump, says that he had doubts about Trump doing his Sun Times building replacement in Chicago based on stories he had heard. In fact, the building came in on time and under budget.
It’s also a staggering error to try to put out a false transcript when the truth is too easy to get.
BTW: Constanza is actually right. It isn’t a lie if you believe it, that is, think it’s true. To claim is, is to deny there are such things as mistakes. Assuming you didn’t get 100% on every test you took, should you also have been punished for the lies you told when you didn’t.
Of course the key is that you actually believe it. And there ARE cases where extreme carelessness about the truth can amount to negligence.
Grandiose braggart or belligerent drunk?
You make the call.
