Hunter Biden: Guilty on all charges.

[JimL]

Fom JimL's book of quotes.

It's one of my favorites my Putin loving friend. It's all that needs be said in reply to certain blah blah blah blah who cares posts

This reminds me of some kid huffing and puffing about how my dad can beat up your dad even though you know his dad is some frail old man needing a walker to get around.

Btw, old Joe recently declared that he could beat up a reporter (IIRC from Time Magazine) who asked him a question regarding his obvious dodderage.

The White House insists he was only joking but old Joe has a long, long history of saying stuff like that and definitely not joking.

Well, we KNOW if trump said it, they would accept "only joking" from him with grace. Jim would be the FIRST to call out anyone who said Trump was serious.

Maybe, but in this case the fight took place and that huffing and puffing kids frail old man beat the begeesus out of em all.

He did get 81 million votes but very few seriously believe he had 81 million voters

I never said or thought of whether he was only joking or not, or if he ever said it. But, you could possibly be correct, I would have to actually hear the comment and the tone and postures of each man to judge the nature of the remark. But let's be serious now.We all already know, so let's not be silly, which man it is that is more prone to nasty, threatening remarks. Don't we?

You got that from Trump ...
.

At a Greensboro, North Carolina, rally, former President Donald Trump, referring to 2020, said "82% of the country understands that it was a rigged election."

and didn't bother to fact check it yourself or look up a fact check on it.
.

Trump said, “82% of the country understands that it was a rigged election.”

We couldn’t find any credible poll — or any group of polls — with results that support Trump’s claim. His campaign also produced no evidence to support it.

Polling continues to show that most Americans believe the 2020 election was legitimate.

We rate Trump’s claim False.

How many Democrats does it take to rack up 81 million votes?

Aside from that not even being what I said, people have been saying what I actually did say for awhile.

What you said is that most people think there were more votes for Biden than there were Biden voters. Because everyone who thinks there were more votes than voters thinks the election was rigged, that means that most people think the election was rigged.

Never mind.

It's an arithmetic thing. You wouldn't understand.

Ha ha, rogue fell for the con and hasn't been able to figure it out yet. So long as you don't win rogue, you will always think the election was stolen from you. That's a typical characteristic of republicans anyway. They are the whining "waa, waa, you got a bigger piece than me" party, was. The "you don't let me win, I'm taking my ball and going home" party, waa. Waa! They're the " just can't admit they lost party, and they always will be. That's why their logo is the Elephant, the biggest babies in the world.

Of course. They follow the example of their leader, Tump:

"Everybody's says so. Everyone knows it.

[Stoic]

If there's that much of a time gap between Biden standing up there bent partway over and straining and his and Jill's exiting then that would be deceptive editing.

Also, if you'll go back and look at that G7 skydiving demo video you posted, you'll see at the beginning, just as the guy with the flag is landing, there are a number of other jumpers who landed earlier and are packing up their chutes. That's what distracted Joe.

The reason everyone wanted him to look back the other way is that an army officer was starting to brief them on the demonstration.

How Republicans used misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period
Such deceptively edited videos, known as “cheap fakes,” have become staples of Republican attacks against the president.
.

Biden and the ‘invisible’ chair'
The Republican National Committeeand right-wing influencers posted a 12-second clip of Biden standing next to French President Emmanuel Macron and appearing to reach down with his hand and bend his knees haltingly. The video ends abruptly with Biden in an awkward position, but some who posted it suggested that Biden was sitting “in an invisible chair,” and Donald Trump Jr. wrote that it was an “embarrassment” that showed American weakness. The full video shows that Biden ultimately sat down shortly after the clip ended, though he appeared to pause briefly while crouched, waiting for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name to be announced before taking his seat. A wide shot of the stage showed that other people also appeared to crouch, as Biden did, before fully sitting down.

Biden ‘pulled away’ by first lady
In another video disseminated by Biden’s critics, the president appears to be led away from the D-Day ceremony by first lady Jill Biden as the event is ongoing. A Republican National Committee account on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote that Biden was being escorted out, and another commenter said Biden was being “pulled away” while Macron was still greeting veterans. In reality, Biden, who arrived at the event before Macron, had already greeted the veterans and was leaving the ceremony at its conclusion to attend another scheduled memorial event. Joe and Jill Biden were holding hands and walking side-by-side, with the president leading the way, shaking hands with veterans and saluting some on their way out, before finally exiting the event. The edited clip only shows Biden leaving the event, not shaking hands and greeting veterans before he exits.

Biden ‘sleeping’
Some right-leaning accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers also circulated a six-second clip that appeared to show Biden with his eyes closed during the D-Day ceremonies. A further examination shows that Biden closed his eyes briefly while listening to live translation of the D-Day ceremony — the translation device in his left ear could not be seen in the shortened clip. The president opened his eyes shortly after the edited clip ended, and there was not evidence that he slept through portions of the Normandy events. The allegations were notable because Trump faced claims that he had regularly fallen asleep in court during his hush money trial in New York because he regularly closed his eyes as witnesses testified. It remains unclear whether Trump actually fell asleep at some points during the trial — which ended with him convicted on 34 felony counts of business fraud — and he and his team have vigorously rejected the claim.

There's source video and edited video side-by-side in the article itself.

You will also see Biden giving the thumbs up to the parachuters that he is watching. But that is the kind of editing that the "fake news" aka propaganda sites sites on the right are feeding these people and it seems that more often than not, they just without question, eat it up.
