Wow. The denial is amazing. You refused to notice the other people in the video - all major European leaders - effectively going "err.... what the heck" and the Italian PM quickly and gently going over to Biden and escorting him back to the group, just like a nicely mannered granddaughter does for her grandfather with dementia at a family Easter dinner. The contrast between Biden's behavior and movement and the rest of the leaders is glaringly obvious to all but the most hardcore partisans.

Anyone who's dealt with aged family members *knows exactly what is going on*. And it's nothing to do with partisanship, but honesty.



Watch the rest of the clip. It gets worse.



The entire incident is crazy, but when the Italian PM leads him back to the group of leaders it’s clear he’s not there there. He shuffles back slowly without looking or speaking to her, no smile, zero expression on his face. He doesn’t look at anyone in the group. He stands facing the camera with a slight grimace but overall blank look on his face and in his eyes. His teeth are actually bared. He slowly raises his sunglasses and puts them on. He looks like a worn out animatronic figure. He looks nothing like the people around him; no expression on his face and not even noticing what is really going on around him. For some reason he was drawn to the Soldier packing his chute, but is too physically frail in voice and body to catch that guy’s attention.


+1 And the Italian PM was clearly alert to the situation, and observing him with concern, and then positioned herself in a way that a teacher would guide a young child or one with special needs back to the group. It's all very sad.


She knew to watch him. The rest of the group was watching him. They slowly moved over to the area he was wandering and huddled around him for the picture, while he blankly and robotically put on his sunglasses and stared straight ahead. It’s like taking gramps out the nursing home for a trip to the park. Madness people are pretending he’s not majorly impaired.


Agreed. I voted for him last time because Trump is a lunatic. I'm not voting for Trump this time either obviously but Biden is clearly unwell. My dream scenario is that they both drop out.


DP. Totally agree. I’ll be writing someone in.

I look at this clip and grow envious of other countries with young, virile leaders.

Excellent (and accurate) summation. He looks so very childlike. Shame on his wife and all of his yes men for not insisting he pull out of this race.

This is what’s so funny - the outraged LWNJs insisting the video was edited or cut too soon. We’ve all seen the entire video and it only gets *more* cringeworthy. Truly painful. All these young, vital leaders and then… an old man with dementia.

Meh. Biden got what he went for, G7 unity and aid for Ukraine.

I like a POTUS who accomplishes things in the U.S. interest, unlike Trump.

Guess the Russian trolls are not too happy about that.


The russian trolls who control an Italian media outlet/newspaper?

People aren’t supposed to touch the Pope. You can hear the people in the background freaking out as Biden goes in inappropriately and puts his head onto the pope’s head. It’s so creepy. It’s protocol, imagine someone going up to Biden and doing that? It’s just weird, he’s always sniffing people and doing weird shit. Embarrassing!

I am waiting for a campaign ad featuring a compilation of Biden falling, tripping, and stumbling, with Trump doing a voice over, saying something about falling down on the job. Or Americans stand tall, blah. Or you’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything, there’s a hideous country song that people love that has that exact chorus. It would fit Trump’s demographic perfectly. They’d lose their MAGA minds for that kind of low hanging fruit in campaign ad form.

It’s cruel. Outright cruel.

Honestly it’s cruel to Trump too, who also has dementia, but it’s harder to sympathize with Trump.

we can clearly see the skydiver packing his chute. he never looks up or speaks to biden. He doesn’t even know Biden is there.


I saw the video. Biden was approaching to try to engage the skydiver who was kneeling down packing up the chute.It was awkward in that the skydiver didn't seem to be aware that Biden was approaching to talk to him and Biden just kind of hung there for a moment until he was pulled away. But that's all it shows.


Yes, it shows how confused Biden was, especially when we see what the other leaders were doing. Would you have preferred that the PM of Italy leave him over there?


The point is he wasn't confused. He was trying to talk to someone who wasn't aware he was standing behind him. It happens. The bigger issue is the danger in basing our opinions of people on short video clips that have been edited to promote a certain narrative. I see this all the time on TikTok and other social media. Like every day. It's a problem for our whole society because we're getting our "news" from seconds-long video clips or sound bites that are very susceptible to being manipulated. Expect it to get worse in the lead-up to the election.


This. There will be deep fakes. Probably already are.
