Hostage-Like Video From Joe Biden Is Really Freaking Everybody Out
2022-07-27
[Townhall] President Joe Biden is almost pretty much out of the woods when it comes to recovering from COVID-19, or so we're told. His symptoms are nearly "resolved," though it's worth reminding time and time again that the White House refuses to make Biden's personal physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, directly available to the American people, instead insisting that letters will have to do.

The president has continued working throughout his diagnosis, which includes talking to the press and partaking in several video messages. A recent one truly has people talking, though. Not only does the president like and sound really tired and ragged, he doesn't blink once throughout the whole message, which may be the most hostage-like video the White House has released.

Seriously, it's painful to watch. Our friends at Twitchy highlighted some of the best reactions, while also asking if this was "a test of Disney’s new animatronic Biden" for the Hall of Presidents.

#14  Unreliable sources report an early morning meeting of the Facial Systems Group at Disney Animatronics. Apparently, there were issues with the recent "live" test.

#13  If Joe is not blinking it's the wide eyed drugs they got him on.

#9  /\ Both most interesting and incredible! That's what I call... 'first hand knowledge.' Something tells me there could be a great deal more of these remembrances.

Thanks for sharing.

#8  Ref #1 above B
My father was one of the Secret Service Agents on the Presidential Detail for FDR from 1940-1945, and then Truman through the end of 45 before he transferred as a Special Agent at the State Department. He was on Duty at the Warm Springs House when FDR died, helped move him to the bedroom after his collapse, and remained on scene until the President was pronounced. He then was one of two agents that helped Lucy Mercer Rutherford and Artist Elizabeth Shoumatoff discretely leave the Little White House before any press or public officials arrived. He then rode the train with he casket back to DC and assumed the same duties with the Truman Detail, going on with Truman and the USS Augusta to Potsdam and the conference thereafter. It was while onboard the Augusta that Truman sent the approval for Hiroshima bombing.

#7  Only an anti-science flat Earther would refuse solo isolation for three weeks, and then exit only if passes 3 tests in a row.

The Experts said pets are also carriers. The NSCPA will be by shortly to save your dog with purification by fire.

I am still not buying into that he had C-19/22.

I am leaning in the direction of a cover story to explain his absents while getting needed treatment for his declining mental capabilities and related issues.
