The US president spreading misinformation on the podium is wild.

Almost reminds me of Trump but we have a good guy now.

I mean is he that much of a good guy? Better than Trump by a lot, but damn the bar is low.

Regardless of whether he is a "good guy" or not, he's very obviously experiencing cognitive decline.

Yeah so is every geriatric politician. Isn’t Trump just as old as Biden?

Yeah I'm not looking to make any whataboutisms here...

As you said, the bar is low.

The difference is they retracted the statement. Never heard of such a thing under Trump...

[–] hottari@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

The difference is the kind of lies & propaganda both were willing to peddle. But I guess being a Biden supporter won't allow you to see what actually happened here.

They are going to release the proof of WMDs in Iraq any day...week...month...year...decade now.

[–] Rascabin@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

By the time they reveal the truth of the WMDs we will be long forgotten and floating back into the universe as space dust.

long forgotten

I used day...week...month...year...decade because I realise many here were likely not alive/yet to start school when the reference started.

I’ll say it again and get dv’d to the ninth circle again: yea, Western governments do propagandize our own citizens. And spy etc

This is the best summary I could come up with:


President Joe Biden addressed Jewish community leaders at a round table on Wednesday, where he referenced a gruesome claim made by the Israel Defense Forces.

Later in the evening on Wednesday, a National Security official told NPR that Biden was referring to media reports when he made that remark.

Later on Tuesday, IDF spokesman Major Nir Dinar told Insider that Israeli soldiers came across the bodies of babies, including some that had been decapitated, at the Kfar Aza kibbutz near the Israel-Gaza border.

Dinar said the IDF "can not confirm any numbers," but described the situation at the kibbutz as a "massacre" in which children were "brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action."

Dinar said the claim of decapitated babies was made based on what soldiers on the ground had relayed to him and others in the military.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Palestinian authorities said 1,100 people in Gaza have been killed, including at least 260 children.
