President Joe Biden on Tuesday blamed Republicans and the Russian invasion of Ukraine for soaring US inflation, in a bid to deflect voter anger over his inability to keep prices down. Speaking to trade unions in Philadelphia on the eve of the Federal Reserve's likely decision to raise interest rates again, Biden said inflation is "sapping the strength of a lot of families." (Snip) But he rejected arguments that his government's massive spending to stimulate the economy at the tail end of the Covid-19 pandemic was to blame, instead citing shockwaves from Ukraine and Republican obstruction.

Biden has been in over his head for a long time now. I remember another Senator diplommatically saying that Joe relies on his staff to a degree that is unusual even for D.C.
And it's an open secret Obama considered him a simpleton.

I understand these blatant lies are meant to fire up the base in an attempt to shift blame, but even in the demoslut party, what percentage of the party are made up of these rabid leftists that would believe this garbage?

It would be funny watching this senile old man make a bigger and bigger fool out of himself on a daily basis!!!!
Except, of course, that he is destroying our country, turning it into a 3rd-world socialist cesspool, and we are all paying the costs!!!! I'm definitely not laughing!!!

He is like a child that ate the cupcake after mom told him he couldn’t have one. So later Mom comes in and the kid has chocolate all over his face Andy hands and mom asks him if he knows what happened to the cupcakes because one is missing, and the kid says he doesn’t know what happened to the missing cupcake.

The sad thing is, I look a Joe Biden and rank him lower than Saddam and Quaddafi. I think he may be tied with Mugabe of Zimbabwe and he may be barely above Idi Amin. Regardless he and his administration along with Rinos and Democrats (at the National and State levels) have taken a once-great country and placed it on par with several banana republics.

We all just got too much money
FJB
The gov has to inflate their way out of a 30 TRILLION dollar debt. They can no longer tax it. 18% mortgages here we come. Social security get ready for pennies on the dollar. African jack hole currency ? Bit Coin came about for a reason but it will burn too. Grow food.

Biden believes all Americans are as stupid as those who voted for him.
He has been peeing down our legs and telling us it was raining for his entire term so far.
No one with a brain believes the Russians and Republicans are responsible for the disaster he has brough on us with that one signature attacking oil companies and closing down pipeline he signed on 1-20-21.

The plan was / is to destroy America and Americans. It's easier to control and exploit those that are broken in spirit and broken financially. Only the dummies of the dems base will believe anything joey says.

When they refuse to take blame, they refuse to accept responsibility. Hardly leadership material.

He just reads what the PuppetMasters put on the teleprompter, he was a dimwit before his brain crapped out.

Thank you, DVC (19)
That gave me a good chuckle. Otherwise, I would be screaming, reading the news headlines.

At least in banana republics, they can get bananas for free just by climbing a tree like a freaking monkey.

Well, I was pretty certain he wasn't planning to blame Joe Biden,
And gee, I guess it was the Republicans' fault. We left him energy independence, low fuel prices, low inflation, a world more-or-less at peace, a controlled southern border, and COVID vaccines. It's easy to see how that could have led to the calamities of the past year and a half.

FTA: But he also said "Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to stop my plans to bring down costs on ordinary families. That's why my plan is not finished and why the results aren't finished either."
Somebody should ask the little lunkhead how they are doing that? They are a minority in both houses.

Everyone in DC knew Biden was never very intelligent. That's when he had all the few marbles he ever had. But HE has a plan!! Really? I believe no one wants to hear it. Just sit down, shut up and don't bother us any longer with any of your silly lies, stories about your vile family, stories about your lies. Just zip it.

Joe keeps digging his hole deeper with such unreasonable statements. Joe needs to quit blaming and start finding solutions. He sure does know how to build a straw man!

I know from watching Carter, Clinton, Obama and now Biden that it's SOP for a democrat president to blame everyone and the kitchen sink when things go bad under their watch. Creepy Sleepy Slimy Sloppy Joe however seems to have taken that to a whole different level.
