And Joe Biden is once again gone upstairs in a complete state of confusion as he's wandering like a geriatric patient. Italian Prime Minister has to bring him back.

Two screen grabs taken at the same moment (as close as I could get.) . This from the one that James Lacey posted as 'original'.

Credit where credit is due, Richard. Your vid is not cropped at the moment Joe turned to face the kneeling guy.

If we all watch the 'original' video we should clearly see that the cameraman is shooting wide at first until the para-guy lands and then zooms in on the G7 gang for and beyond the crucial moment when Biden faces the kneeling man. Screen grab below of the wider view before the cameraman zoomed in....this view was not in Richard's video, to be fair, but it also is not showing the Biden move towards the two guys kneeling.. The only info the wider shot gives us is that there were two guys kneeling, not just one....

And no nefarious, after-the-fact 'cropping' was done. It was just cinematography - get the wide shot, zoom in on the subjects....

+1 to Richard this time.

This time......

First we will have to agree on a definition of 'doctored'.

Richard's vid is edited from the longer original video to show the moments when Biden turned around. It isn't cropped or doctored in any way at that time.

Seven minutes of video precede Richard's clip, showing each paratrooper landing interspersed with close-ups of the various G7 leaders. All leaders are doing the same thing. Looking up. Pointing. Watching the show. Classic 'nothing-to-see-here'...

I suppose you could make a point that Richard's video ignores all the stuff where Biden behaves exactly like all the other leaders for 14 minutes, therefore providing no fodder for criticism, and just reports the one moment when Joe did something different by turning the other way to give a thumb's up to the paratroopers.

Heck, you could show the whole 14 minutes with the Davis-esque headline, "All G7 leaders fail to give a thumbs up to the paratroopers except Joe Biden who took a moment to turn and acknowledge them before being called back for the inevitable photo-op.." Then the critics from the other side could say, "Yeah, but did you see what he did at 7:14?......" And we'd have another stupendous Politics Thread (TM)....

CNN Anchor Gets Right Into Trump's Team's Face & Puts 'em In Their Place!

the debate will be an ugly, unwatchable mess because they will both talk over one another to the degree that no message will get out from either side. Each candidate will hear what they believe to be 'untruths' from the other and they sure as hell won't wait to counter that untruth with a truth from their own belief system.

My humble proposal: Sound-proof booths with switchable microphones. Candidate can hear the other guy when he's talking but his mic is off so he cannot interrupt. Give 2-minutes each back and forth of being 'on air'. While not on air the other guy can make notes to prepare his rebuttal.

There would have to be a coin toss to see who goes first, of course....

Ain't never gonna happen but it would convey much more information than two men talking over one another with a 'moderator' yelling, "Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden" about a million times.

No gerrymandering in Canada, either. Which is a basic aspect of truly fair elections.

Trump's Latest On Project 2025...

“I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it,” the presumptive GOP nominee for the White House wrote. “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”

"Steele rebuked Trump’s claim, highlighting the project’s links to high-ranking members of the Trump administration, including the project’s director, Paul Dans, who once served as chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management, and its associate director, Spencer Chretien, Trump’s former special assistant."

Trump or Steele, whom to believe?....

Trump says he isn't going to implement any of Project 2025. Therefore, based on what comes out of his mouth every single day, he WILL do all of it that he can.

More videos of Joe Biden, completely gone upstairs, acting like he's catatonic in a closet! The guy is just like Chauncy Gardner in the Movie Being There
