Debate coming up. Should be high comedy. Why Biden picked having the podium on the right instead of having the last word is baffling.

Because Biden did his research.

@ElwoodBlues

You mean his handlers did. 🤭

Oh, wait... that clip is a "cheap fake" that even fooled them in India.
@Thinkerbell What's the difference between "handlers" and "competent staff to whom tasks can be delegated"?

If I recall, that clip wasn't a "cheap fake" it was a re-framing to cut out the parachutist who landed on on that side of the group that Biden was watching. Oh, here it is! Watch the clip here and see the second parachutist off to the right.

@ElwoodBlues

You said "Biden" did "his" research, not his "staff"; I doubt that Biden knows his left from his right.

As for the "second parachutist," gee... Biden was the only one to be astute enough to notice the guys that had already landed, instead of the one right in front of the group. That nasty Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, must have been just trying to make Biden look bad. She must be a neo-fascist, eh, Ellie? 🤭

Yes, I suffer from advanced synechdoche.

BTW, Did you watch the whole clip? Biden was giving thumbs-up to some parachutists who landed earlier. He didn't wander off from the group. You got played by a re-framed video!!
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

Yes, I watched the whole clip; you're just repeating part of what I said, and dodged the rest. 🙄
@Thinkerbell What else would you like me to address?

And perhaps you can address my question about the difference between "handlers" and "competent staff to whom tasks can be delegated."
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

The parts that you dodged, of course.

E.g., why Biden wandered off to look at the parachutists that had landed earlier, instead of the one that had just landed right in front of the group, why no one else thought to do that, and why Meloni had to go and fetch him.

I can already guess your opinion of Meloni's politics, so you don't need to answer that part. 🤭
@Thinkerbell wonders
why Biden wandered off to look at the parachutists that had landed earlier,
Biden was communicating with other parachutists off to the right by giving them thumbs up – you know, the guys who were sorta cut out of the framing in the video you linked.

Why did Biden choose to give them thumbs up? Why did the other leaders choose to watch different parachutists? You have an unreasonably high opinion of my mind-reading abilities, LOL!!!
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

Tut-tut, Ellie, you're STILL dodging.

Big time. 🤭
@Thinkerbell You asked my why various people chose to look at various parachutists and why Biden gave a thumbs up to some of them. I confessed already that my mind-reading skills are not up to answering that question.

meanwhile, this is the FOURTH TIME you have ducked my question about the difference between "handlers" and "competent staff to whom tasks can be delegated"🤣😂
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

Competent staff: what normal presidents have to advise them.

Handlers: What Biden needs to make decisions for him, guide him offstage when he freezes, shut off the mike when he mumbles incoherently, etc.


P.S. You're STILL dodging, Ellie.

Big time. 🤭
@Thinkerbell So how do you know that Biden's staff didn't ADVISE him to choose the podium on the right? How do you know it was done by "handlers"? Is this a case of mind-reading on your part??

I've asked you what else would you like me to address. Am I supposed to mind-read YOU as well???
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

"Is this a case of mind-reading on your part??"

Nah, it's a case of observing Biden on my part. He never did anything on his own, and now it has gotten to the point where he needs Obama to guide him offstage, Meloni to show him where to stand, etc. Oh, wait... perhaps they were just ADVISING him. 🤭


"Am I supposed to mind-read YOU as well???"

Nah, you're supposed to read and answer the questions I wrote, and which you've been dodging ever since.

You're floundering, Ellie.

@Thinkerbell How will you explain it when Biden gets through the debate with no sign of dementia? A body double? Drugs? Magic?
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@Lila15

How do you explain how Biden made three significant blunders in 10 seconds as soon as he went off his teleprompter script at the SOTU speech, even though his handlers prepped him for the expected interruption? Drugs, seven days of rehearsals and lots of rest can only go so far, it seems. 🤭

Nah, I answered them all; you just don't like my answers, LOL!!!
She’s correct. What you call answers sensible folks call evasions. @ElwoodBlues
@jackjjackson I'm calling your bluff. Please identify which questions I have "evaded."
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

Your (perfectly obvious) evasions:

1. Why Biden wandered off to look at the parachutists that had landed earlier, instead of the one that had just landed right in front of the group,

2. Why no one else thought to do that.

3.why Meloni had to go and fetch him.

[media=https://youtu.be/byXKhkMu_3o]

P.S. "LOL!!!" is not a substantive answer, just another evasion.
@Thinkerbell All those questions are about individual motivations; the answers require mind reading; a skill I freely confess I do not possess; as stated earlier.

Actually, I did suggest that he stayed looking at the earlier parachutists because he was giving them the thumbs up. Of course, that begs the question: why give them the thumbs up. Sorry, that requires mind reading again.

And, in any case, the description "as President Biden wanders off to nowhere" (NY Post & others) is a false description, which is the point I established at the get-go.
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

And yet another of your evasions of what is plain to see.

BTW, Ellie, even 2/3 of DEMOCRATS think Biden is too old to run again.
I guess they must be mind readers.
Too bad you don't share their skills.

And here is another one of Biden's highlight moments at the G7:

[image/video deleted]
@Thinkerbell Oh, I'm in those 2/3rds who consider Biden too old - believe me. As I've said here many times, I'm not voting for Biden, I'm voting AGAINST that lying sack of felonious corruption.

The choice isn't Biden or some average person; the choice is Biden or the guy who claimed he was tortured in the Fulton County Jail, who claimed his body was covered with wounds, and whose claims of a "rigged" election STILL lack evidence!!

And, in any case, the description "as President Biden wanders off to nowhere" (NY Post & others) is a false description, which is the point I established at the get-go.
Taking the totality of all of the videos illustrating Biden’s challenges the bottom line is there are issues. Sure a thing or two can be debated but not the sum of the whole. @ElwoodBlues
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@ElwoodBlues

"Oh, I'm in those 2/3rds who consider Biden too old - believe me."

You are? Good !
I'm glad you're showing a little improvement.

Now, may I ask you WHY and HOW you came to that conclusion? Is it because you take an ageist position and believe EVERYONE over a certain age (say, 75 or 80) is too old to be president, or have you noticed certain things (without mind reading, to be sure) about Biden in particular that you think make him too old to be president, and if so, what are they?

"And, in any case, the description "as President Biden wanders off to nowhere" (NY Post & others) is a false description, which is the point I established at the get-go."

Tut-tut, Ellie... now you're trying to move the goal posts.
The clips I posted simply said Biden "wandered off," which he plainly did, turning his back on the rest of the G7 group.
My clips didn't say "to nowhere."
