President Joe Biden offered another addition to his already massive gaffe reel when the geriatric leader tripped over his tongue during a speech touting his administration's high-speed rail investments.
On Friday, Biden stopped in Las Vegas, Nev., on his way to a star-studded Hollywood fundraiser, and during his remarks to union members, the 81-year-old Democrat threw out a number well above $8.2 billion of dollars for the 10 new passenger rail projects across the country.
According to the president, the amount the federal government would spend is “more than a billion, three hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars.”

Biden was most articulate when the subject was his likely opponent in next year's crucial election, GOP front-runner and former President Donald J. Trump.
“Trump just talks the talk. We walk the walk,” he told the audience in the Carpenters' Union room. “He likes to say that America is a failed nation. Frankly, he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I see shovels on the ground, cranes in the sky. People working hard to rebuild America together.”
The octogenarian leader's exaggeration of infrastructure money prompted X users to withdraw their views on the verbal trainwreck.
I see they loaded Joe up with amphetamines again…

Imagine the noises inside this man's head as he babbles, squinty-eyed, into the camera. Must sound like a broken roller coaster in there.

The mocking media made a national story with Covfefe. Those were picturesque times.

The storyteller regaled the audience with his widely debunked yarn about a conductor congratulating him on traveling more than a million miles on Amtrak, commuting regularly between his home in Delaware and Washington, DC.

“One of the senior guys at Amtrak, I became friends with him after all the years, and he had spent 36 years as a senator and he comes up to me (his name is Angelo) and he comes and says, 'Joey “. , girl!' and grabs my cheek, “I thought he was going to get shot,” he told the audience, who had been eating out of his hand.
“And I said, 'Ang, what's up?' He said, 'Just, I just read the paper,' because they keep a meticulous mileage of how many times you use … how many miles you use on airplanes for the United States Air Force as vice president,” he continued. “I just read in the paper, Joey, that you've traveled a thousand—oh, sorry,” he said, rubbing the numbers again. “One million, two hundred thousand miles in the Air Force,” Biden added.
“He said, 'Great…' I won't quote him exactly. He said, 'Big deal, Joey.' He said, 'We just had our retirement dinner in Newark, New Jersey… Do you know how many miles you've driven?' I said, 'No, Ang.' He said, '1,000,327 miles. I don't hear anything else about the Air Force.
But, as has been the case with Biden throughout his half-century as a DC insider, he doesn't let the truth get in the way of telling a good story, and the Amtrak story didn't go beyond the meeting with the fact checkers.
“Biden's tally just doesn't add up. Biden didn't hit the million-mile mark as vice president until September 2015, according to his own past comments. But Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993 and died in May 2014, according to an obituary published online and in the Asbury Park Press, a New Jersey newspaper,” CNN. reported in 2021.
“Today, the Biden-Harris administration is announcing $8.2 billion in new funding for 10 major passenger rail projects across the country, including the first world-class high-speed rail projects in our nation's history,” the White House said in a press release Friday. liberation
“The major projects selected include: the construction of a new high-speed rail system between California and Nevada, which will serve more than 11 million passengers annually; the creation of a high-speed rail line through California's Central Valley to ultimately link Los Angeles and San Francisco, supporting travel at speeds of up to 220 mph; provide significant improvements to high-traffic rail corridors in Virginia, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia; and improving and expanding capacity at Chicago Union Station in Illinois, one of the nation's busiest rail hubs,” the statement said.
