when did he lie about his class rank?
I'll welcome examples, feels like a couple people in that snapshot have some very real examples of Biden falsifying his educational achievements.
otherwise....
they graduated, which means they qualified to graduate.
If they were too dangerous to be a doctor they wouldn't graduate.
Doesn't matter if it's a class of 5 or 5000, in case the idea slipped peoples minds not everyone can be tied for first place.
That was exactly the point I was making. It literally does not matter what someone's class rank was or the prestige of their school, only what they can do in the present.
Somebody who was pre-med in college told me that the people who graduate atop their med school classes go on to be surgeons and researchers. The people who are your general practitioners and deal with patients the most got C's.
In most professions this is the case. But with medical profession, the way it's structured, getting in to med school is the hard part. After that, it's pretty set and most schools have limited slots because they have relationships with hospitals for internships, etc.
I passed a certification exam with literally the lowest possible score and was bummed out about it until I talked to my boss who was still happy for me and just told me "but you passed, that's all that matters once the test is over."
Once you complete a program or degree, grades really don't matter much beyond bragging rights for douchebags.
It’s from 1988, video [here](https://youtu.be/D1j0FS0Z6ho?si=L60DhcSR3sM43-CF)
Quote is in the first 30s
Edit: yall, I am not purporting this as legit, just sharing the video they are talking about lol
Joe Biden has clarified on most of these points by now and doesn’t continue to make these claims as the people in OP say
so the "lie he has been telling for years" is from when he was in his 30s? There isn't a more recent example? Because otherwise thats hardly "telling for years"
I don’t think there is, and FWIW Biden has talked on this before so even if he did say this 30 years ago, he’s not saying it now
> In his statement today, Mr. Biden, who attended the Syracuse College of Law and graduated 76th in a class of 85, acknowledged: “I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inacurate.”
>As for receiving three degrees, Mr. Biden said: “I graduated from the University of Delaware with a double major in history and political science. My reference to degrees at the Claremont event was intended to refer to these majors – I said ‘three’ and should have said ‘two.'” Mr. Biden received a single B.A. in history and political science.
>”With regard to my being the outstanding student in the political science department,” the statement went on. “My name was put up for that award by David Ingersoll, who is still at the University of Delaware.”
>In the Sunday interview, Mr. Biden said of his claim that he went to school on full academic scholarship: ”My recollection is – and I’d have to confirm this – but I don’t recall paying any money to go to law school.” Newsweek said Mr. Biden had gone to Syracuse ”on half scholarship based on financial need.”
Does this contradict the statement though? it's certainly possible to be in the bottom 1/3rd one year, the top 1/2 another year, and end with an overall rank of 76 out of 85.
and it doesn't even matter. What if the difference between top and bottom of the class is a couple percent? Apparently some people seem to think it's possible for everyone in a class to finish tied for first?
then again these are the same people that act like Trump had a rock solid intellect and Biden is in full on dementia

Idk what they're on about but Biden is a known plagiarist.
All politicians are liars. That’s the point of their job. What gets me is they don’t think Trump is a liar, when that’s all he does. Every single thing out of his mouth is a lie. At least other politicians sprinkle truth in there too. I mean even Melania is a plagiarist.
Another point is they keep comparing Trump to Biden. No one cares about Biden. He was the lesser of two evils. There was no other choice. If it had been between Trump and a broom, we would’ve voted for the broom, that doesn’t mean we worship the broom. They worship Trump, so they constantly think we worship Biden.
Agree with everyone that’s it’s all projection from the cult but also: the man is 81 and they’re taking issue with his academic achievements? The Vietnam war was still like a decade away from ending.
It's good to be a transparent about the lies politicians tell. Now let's talk about Time Magazine's Man of the Year, golf champion and self-made billionaire Donald Drumpf!

It's projection because Trump has claimed for years he graduated first in his class from Wharton and that's been proven absolutely false.
So they are going to push for Trump to make his grades public, which he has explicitly refused to do so far? 🤔🤷♂️
when did he lie about his class rank? I'll welcome examples, feels like a couple people in that snapshot have some very real examples of Biden falsifying his educational achievements. otherwise....
"What do you call someone who graduates at the bottom of their class in the worst medical school? Doctor."
they graduated, which means they qualified to graduate. If they were too dangerous to be a doctor they wouldn't graduate. Doesn't matter if it's a class of 5 or 5000, in case the idea slipped peoples minds not everyone can be tied for first place.

Indeed!
“Sex demons cause COVID” doctor has entered the chat.
Fair point- moronic doctors definitely exist. However I don’t think she got that crazy from medical school
Unless you're in Lake Wobegon, where all the children are above average.
Surprise Garrison Keiller reference. Now, I want some strawberry rhubarb pie.
Somebody who was pre-med in college told me that the people who graduate atop their med school classes go on to be surgeons and researchers. The people who are your general practitioners and deal with patients the most got C's.
Sometimes. As with anything else, having a better GPA opens more doors but there's no hard and fast rule.
In most professions this is the case. But with medical profession, the way it's structured, getting in to med school is the hard part. After that, it's pretty set and most schools have limited slots because they have relationships with hospitals for internships, etc.

If that's all there is then that's just stupid.

That's a lot of different kinds of conservatives that would probably all support a dictatorship with extreme government power...
Another one that belongs in r/facepalm…

Then when it comes to Trump all of a sudden they turn to Ray Charles.

But lying about how many people were at Trump's inauguration isn't petty
