Who would ever call a toddler 'Sexy'? Who would call any child under age 'Sexy', and then say 'Don't tell your momma'? Seriously, who would do that? Would any of you think to do that?
Perhaps nobody, including Biden? Dude, it’s easy to fact-check these things before spreading misinformation.

Here’s the original unaltered video:
I am curious about this. How do you know this is an unedited version? He gets closer to the phone, but doesn't say anything or it isn't picked up by the phone, even though he said he said something?

You could be right, and the other version is edited with AI.

There's going to be so much fake video content leading up to the 2024 election. It's going to be awful.

Lawrence O’Donnell did an excellent piece on why Biden can’t and shouldn’t be “swapped” out for the upcoming election.

He makes some good points. I can't say that I agree with everything about Biden and his great mental health. Why don't we have more film of him being sound that they claim that he's not suffering from dementia?

Funny you say that... Jon Stewart railed on this on his first Daily Show return.

Jon Stewart's return segment was funny, but I think when he says "did you film that?" in regards to Biden having moments of lucidity and clarity is a bit unfair. Biden has plenty of speeches, press conferences, interviews, etc. where he is lucid and seems just fine. But folks harp on the times when he makes gaffes and mistakes. It's not like we have zero footage of the guy being cogent and alert. It just isn't interesting and doesn't fit the narrative.

Um, I don't think it's unfair at all given he's being asked to run the country for another 4 years and is WAY passed the age that anyone should be working. Sure there's footage from years ago, but you can't go an event lately without him having a senior moment. I get why some people turn a blind eye to it... Look at our other option.

O'Donnell covered that. We don't film presidents actually doing their job. There could be classified info involved or info that shouldn't be public. All we see is the public facing stuff. The non-important stuff. Not the real job of which there is a lot of good that Biden has done for our country. Is he perfect? Of course not, no president ever is. But he's pretty high ranking whereas Trump is dead last.

The President Roosevelt stuff was pretty interesting. He died while in office. But he made some important contributions while struggling through health issues before he passed.

I thought his follow up show was even better. I loved his response to the backlash he received from his first show back:

LOL, I'm supposed to take this partisan ranking seriously? Come on, that's ridiculous. Who gives a rat's behind about that crap? If the other side wrote it, they would rank Biden last. So who cares?

Of course, the only place that Biden is lucid is off camera during classified meetings? That seems like an interesting take. On one hand, that's good. On the other, it seems suspect.

It really is a shit sandwich either way you slice it.

You got a wax figure who doesn't know where he is half the time and a fat toddler who has zero qualifications to have the most important job in the world.

It's incredible to think that neither party could drum up a better candidate, I for one cannot wait til both are off this earth.

What are the qualifications to being President? I thought it was defined in the Constitution.

The thing I keep coming back to is, I do think Biden has done a pretty darn good job as President given the circumstances. Most of what he's done has been stuff I approve of, except for some notable exceptions like how he's handling Israel/Gaza. He is too old and he makes gaffes, and I'm not thrilled about that. But the actual policy and decision-making output of his administration has been much, much, much better than I would be seeing from a second Trump term. I'm pretty happy. I will gladly vote for him this November.

The Constitution needs some amending, but we won't get into that.

Are you 35 and American? C'mon doooown, it's such a joke. 🤣

You'd think after 250 years they'd have started to figure out somethings just don't work like they used to. *Shrugs*

Well, you have over 150,000,000 Americans to decide which of the 'qualified' candidates should be hired. And, I'm sure that most base it on something more than 35 yrs old and a natural born citizen of the United States.
