As the year winds down, political commentators can’t help but reflect on the wild and wacky world of politics. In a surprising twist, PolitiFact—the well-known internet fact-checking bastion, which prides itself on its talent for transforming inconsequential tweets into scandalous headlines—has unveiled its choice for the “biggest lie of the year.” Spoiler alert: it doesn’t involve any of the serious blunders we’ve come to expect from the left. Nope! Instead, it’s Donald Trump and JD Vance’s claims about Haitians having outlandish dietary quirks that takes the cake. Yes, folks, that’s apparently the pinnacle of deception in 2023. Forget about the other details that swirl in the media ether—PolitiFact has made it crystal clear what truly matters.

Now, it’s fascinating to think about what other contenders for this prestigious title could have been. Perhaps they could have considered the mainstream media’s insistence that Joe Biden is the intellectual equivalent of a somewhat astute goldfish. After all, it hasn’t been too long since we were treated to scenes of the President getting lost on stage—captured in a dramatic Hollywood-esque moment. Picture it: Biden, frozen on stage while Barack Obama comes to the rescue like the celebrity superhero of the Democratic Party, leading him away from the glaring spotlight (and perhaps towards a well-deserved nap). Yet, according to PolitiFact, we need to focus on what really matters—dining habits of people we’ll never meet.

Of course, when it comes to the legacy media’s portrayal of Biden, their reality-altering glasses paint him as a razor-sharp mastermind, primal in political brilliance. Multiple clips, like treasures from a long-lost pirate’s chest, flooded the net showcasing Biden’s adventures in verbal gymnastics—his knack for forgetting names and painstakingly reshuffling sentences like a toddler learning to speak. But let’s not forget how this digital age of disinformation has trained us. When reality begins to peek around the corner, the media expertly claims, “fake news!” as if the term holds any weight anymore. Rebranding mumbling and general confusion as “sharpness” is the name of the game.

Speaking of sharpness, what does one need to do to craft the ideal Democrat? Apparently, the requirement includes complete denial of any mishaps or fumbles during speeches. Biden is presented as a mythic figure—never making a misstep, soaring through the complexities of governance with dazzling focus. Meanwhile, his administration barrels through Medicare and Social Security like a runaway freight train, while Democrats turn a blind eye to the catastrophic cliff they’re heading toward. Anyone calls out this disaster? That’s hate speech—not American discourse, but hate speech.

As we eagerly approach the next election, the real thrill lies in watching the Democrats scramble. It’s almost Shakespearean to witness the internal competition between Kamala Harris and the line of hopeful replacements popping up, like weeds in a garden. In a world where the Democrats could potentially switch out the President like a pair of shoes, who else is left to save them from their self-inflicted PR disasters? It’s comical, really, to think that a party that could have likely used Michelle Obama to galvanize support instead showcased an infighting circus that would make Barnum and Bailey proud.

So, as the credits roll on this bizarre year, it’s time to give a round of applause to Joe Biden for stepping up and ensuring the remaining segments of the Democratic Party remain as clueless as ever. If there’s one thing we can cherish, it’s the eruptions of laughter that come through the confused chaos—they give us all a reason to believe in comedy emerging from the dark recesses of politics. And hey, don’t forget to check out all the fantastic merchandise inspired by this political escapade; who wouldn’t want to wear the gift of nostalgia, irony, and sarcasm all in one go? Because if this year has taught us anything, it’s that sometimes, laughter truly is the best medicine—even in the tumultuous world of politics!
