Biden Dazed and Confused in France on June 6, 2024 - Luvnit2 - 06-06-2024 Another appearance, more issues with Biden showing his lack of mental acuity. He has had a bad few weeks showing the narrative he is not fit for office is accurate. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-perpetual-state-confusion-display-normandy-amid-rising-cognitive-questions Biden's 'perpetual state of confusion' on display in Normandy amid rising cognitive questions At one point during the D-Day 80th anniversary ceremony the president appeared confused about whether it was time to sit down The Republican National Committee (RNC) research division posted several videos on X that appeared to show President Biden in "a perpetual state of confusion" following his speech in Normandy on Thursday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The RNC research account, which is managed by former President Trump's campaign and the RNC, rattled off several posts on X of the president in Normandy, with one video showing Biden bending down at one point, seeming to be uncertain whether it was time to sit down. "Awkward," the RNC captioned the video. In part of Biden's speech to D-Day veterans, he appeared to misspeak while urging allies to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, saying that hundreds of thousands of Russian military personnel were killed in Ukraine. "They've suffered tremendous losses with Russia – the numbers are staggering, 350,000 Russian troops dead or wounded," he said. Later, Biden claimed in an ABC interview with David Muir that he's known Vladimir Putin "for over 40 years," notwithstanding the fact that Putin served as an undercover KGB intelligence officer for the Soviet Union throughout the entire 1980s. "I’ve known him for over 40 years. He’s concerned me for 40 years. He’s not a decent man," Biden told Muir. Another video showed Biden walking off with his wife, Jill, as the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, continued to greet and chat with World War II veterans. In a hot mic moment, Biden appeared to say to Macron, "My advance team said I gotta be the first one to leave," in another video capturing the interaction. Questions about Biden's mental acuity circulated this week after The Wall Street Journal's bombshell report that interviewed 45 lawmakers and administration officials about Biden's mental performance. Biden, 81, is the oldest person to hold the presidency and has faced skepticism from voters and Republican lawmakers about his ability to do his job. Many Republicans and even some Democrats said the president showed his age in private meetings. Most of the people interviewed by the outlet who were critical of Biden's performance were Republicans, although some Democrats said the president showed his age in several exchanges. These interviewees participated in meetings with Biden or were briefed on them contemporaneously, including administration officials and other Democrats who did not express concerns about how the president handled the meetings. RE: Biden Dazed and Confused in France on June 6, 2024 - SunsetBengal - 06-06-2024 Oh, it was probably just jet lag, indigestion or something.. RE: Biden Dazed and Confused in France on June 6, 2024 - StoneTheCrow - 06-06-2024 Eh, apparently this is just what happens anytime he’s not behind a closed door. RE: Biden Dazed and Confused in France on June 6, 2024 - FormerlyBengalRugby - 06-06-2024 If he is sharp as a tack, and has boundless energy, per the democrat staff and compatriots, what does that say about their energy and acuteness? I read he did the French kiss thing, not tongue, but both sides of the cheeks, to all the soldiers, except the black ones? Trying to find video to confirm? Why would he do that?

How do they still trot him out in public?

He landed and put a lid on immediately. So, he should have plenty of rest the night before. He said watch him, we are, and he has trouble delivering 5 minute remarks.

Can you call remarks of less than 1 hour a speech? You say it was great. He uses a teleprompter yet confuses Ukranian soldiers' deaths with Russian deaths. To me, that alone is a huge mistake. Can he get through any remarks without a mistake or a lie? He said he knew Putin when he was a member of the KGB, either a lie or a real problem. He is digressing each day, and it is on display for all to see. He said watch him, so people are, and polling says he is too old for 4 more years.

The Gettysbug Address:-2 minutes with 272 words FDR's 1st Inauguartion Speech: 20 minutes Kennedy's Inauguration Speech: 15 minutes 31 second MLK': I Have a Dream Speech: 17 minutes Regan's Berlin Wall Speech: 26 minutes Regan's Speech for 40th D-day Anniversary: 26 minutes Name one memorable speech lasting over an hour People remember short and sweet. A speech over an hour is quickly forgotten and usually says nothing. Biden has never been known as a great speech maker...so no, he is always likely to make a mistake. Biden and Trump will be side by side in several weeks...I'll be willing to put Joe Biden up against a man who can't answer direct questions with complete sentences.

A drug test is easier to rig than an entire presidential election or a 34-count criminal trial. I doubt minds will be changed. RE: Biden Dazed and Confused in France on June 6, 2024 - Dill - 06-10-2024 Something desperate about the "success" of these doctored visuals, how rapidly the false narrative then spreads through people on guard against "fake news" and "leftist media." The link embedded in Dino's first post offers a primer on the methods and history of this genre of disinformation. https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/apr/12/how-misinformers-manufacture-and-embellish-embarra/ ...With basic software allowing amateurs to alter photos and slice up videos, and with social media making that content easier to disseminate, an increasing share of the supposedly embarrassing presidential moments going viral online are neither fully authentic nor totally faked. Instead, they are real photos and videos that have been edited in misleading ways — ways that, in an increasingly polarized country, will usually find a receptive audience, experts said. "The thing that really gets stripped out of all of this is context," said Mike Caulfield, a research scientist and affiliate instructor at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public. "Even though this stuff is propagated through some of these cable news networks, a lot of it comes from this sort of participatory culture of the web or Twitter and various other platforms, where people sort of compete to come up with the decontextualized video of the day."... Caulfield said some people may be especially susceptible to edited videos targeting presidents in this way because they feel they can properly assess when someone looks confused, disoriented, weak or stupid. "A clip like that is sort of immediately understandable to a very broad range of people. You don't actually need to have a knowledge of foreign policy on Ukraine or what public spending does to inflation," Caulfield said. "When we look at something that seems like one of these human moments, we're like, ‘I don't need to know anything. I can see it right there.’ It does breed, I think, a false sense of confidence in us." Caulfield, who developed a four-step method for separating fact from fiction online, said he recommends taking stock of how compelling a shortened clip of the president appears on the first watch, and then seeing if it’s equally as compelling in its complete context. "It’s the difference between those two that is the level of deception," Caulfield said. "And that's what we ask people to pay attention to." Here's a link to Caufield's four-step method.
