I have watched the “debate” 3-4 xs and I think Biden has a medical problem. The habit of laughing, facial expressions, a touch of anger, and twisting his comments.
Could be early stage dementia.
No, he KNOWS we aren't idiots, but it isn't us he's addressing.
I believe you are right... it was intentional - and rehearsed. Joe Trippi works for FOX NEWS. Someone needs to ask him - he would know.
What I LOVED about the debate was that the camera behind Joe’s right side kept displaying his quite obvious BALD spot in the back that a front shot could not. They panned to it multiple times and made his “plugs” look even more ridiculous.
"Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience!"
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Was he singing “The Villages” song?
To be used effectively ridicule must be done on a constant but not aggressive basis. If you do what Biden did during the debates his attempt at ridicule made him look like a clown which he is.
If you want to look at effective ridicule, watch CBS and NBC and ABC. When reporting the news they will subtlety make comments that are moderate ridicule or facetious. In and of itself one day of this type of subtle ridicule has no effect. However, when this is used day after day after month after year it is deadly effective. If you look at what was done to Vice President Dan Quayle you can see how effective this is. Quayle made a few minor gaffs in office and on the campaign. They were minor and of no importance. Obama has made many more and not minor.
After 4 year of this low intensity constant ridicule of his minor gaffs the public perception of Quayle is that he is slow and stupid. He is not. He was a victim of classic character assassination using Saul Alinsky tactics.
Historically, a POTUS’ second term is worse than his first. If the trend holds, we’re in trouble.
I saw it as a mature, well-adjusted adult vs. an insane old fart. Sadly, per Cheney in an interview with Hannity, this is the “real Joe”. They said everyone dreaded it when Biden would attend a meeting because of the constant interruptions and brash behavior.
I can’t get out of my head the horror of that whack job, grinning, snorting, and smirking, sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office. Imagine Lincoln or Eisenhower acting that way. Even Reagan, possibly coming into Alzheimer’s, was respectful and grown-up.
Concur. I anticipated the ridicule on Biden’s part. The net result was that he appeared to require a medication adjustment. Apparently, exposure to Alinskyite tactics is providing the disinfectant sunlight to affect the occult infection. Kudos to all those who enlighten the public!
