Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This declare:
“We lowered the price of everything.” — Former President Joe Biden, Friday
We say: Uh oh, Joe’s into the Rocky Road again. Maybe if you happen to too slept by his presidency you might buy Biden’s line that his was a golden age of affordability.
