In our reporting over the last two years, we have cautioned countless times that still pictures can lie, especially when that still picture is pulled from a video. Half the memes on the internet wouldn’t exist without the ability to take one or two frames completely out of context and make someone look like an ass.
Guess what? Some small clips of video can do the same! And we have one in use by the MAGA right who are convinced that Joe Biden is senile, despite the fact that – if he is senile – he sure hides it well during those press conferences he has now had regularly, given what’s happened in Afghanistan.
How many of us, in listening to someone hard, and trying to gather one’s thoughts, have not briefly closed our eyes (while the person is speaking to someone else), either to concentrate, or gather one’s own thoughts? If more 20-year-olds did such, they’d be well-served.
Well, Joe got caught. It is probably also best to remember that all this is occurring while the crisis in Afghanistan is unfolding. Daytime in Afghanistan is pretty much the middle of the night here. It is acceptable to be tired, though presidents do have access to fantastic medications that we don’t, which help with the issue. No, we’re not talking about Adderall.
Regardless. Marjorie Taylor-Greene offers up her proof that Biden cannot serve as president:
Remove Joe Biden immediately!
Our country is in danger being controlled by a man who can’t even stay awake in a meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister.
We have already seen his decisions as Commander in Chief! 13 dead & our military demoralized!#ImpeachBiden or 25th now! https://t.co/Y8K3RhOSZP

CNN’s Daniel Dale pointed out that Biden was NOT asleep, and has video proof.
This "Biden asleep" stuff is nonsense. Full vid https://t.co/1jC9JjOXag shows: 1) Biden talking; 2) Biden looking at Bennett; 3) Biden looking downward, his hands moving, starting right when Bennett mentioned this week's "difficult days"; 4) Biden immediately replying to Bennett. pic.twitter.com/dJ9dLsoiTY

Take a look at the video…it’s obvious he’s awake and listening:
There is also this fact. If Joe managed to stay awake 25% of the time as president, he would still be ten times a better president than Donald Trump.
We would still like an explanation as to what Marj was doing in the week prior to January 6, 2021, by the way.
