HOWEVER, this was a drone strike in direct retaliation to an attack on Americans that was a direct result of  Biden's leadership. So, he orders a drone strike to deflect from  his incompetence, only he kills an innocent family. Then he lies and brags about it. Then he lies about it some more. Then the truth comes out.

That's not a run-of-the-mill drone strike, dude. That's not what we're mad at. We are mad at an incompetent liar, and you should be holding his feet to the fire.

All presidents lie. That's part of the job. They lie to make themselves look better. Trump did that more than anyone. Like I said, I don't like Biden at all. He's like a mindless, walking corpse. He does lie, but so does every other president. George Bush lied, Clinton told some whoppers, Bush Jr. lied, Obama lied, Trump lied a lot and Biden lies, although I don't know if he realizes it, because I don't think he knows where he is half the time. Even the greatest president in the history of this country (Reagan) lied. They all lied about different things. Some lied to prevent mass panic or to prevent backlash for some of the shady things we do in the name of democracy and some lied for personal gain or to boost their own ego. It doesn't matter. A lie is a lie and it's just part of politics. Yes, Biden told a bad lie and it's horrible that innocent people got killed, but it's nothing that I haven't already come to expect. Politics are shady and it's really gotten worse with Obama, Trump and now Biden, so my expectations keep getting lower and lower. I've just come to expect stuff like this to happen now. It'll almost certainly happen with the next president as well, no matter which party is in power. I don't find any of this stuff surprising. It's just depressing, but totally expected.
