I would think that inferring something untoward happened going by such a remark, says way more about that person than Sleepy Joe.
I mean he could have just been a friend of her parents
Indeed my uncles have said worse to me, but it was always in good fun and completely innocent :shrug:

A far right biased propaganda scandal rag prints something and some people believe it.

With some posters I almost always check the source to see if there's any chance it's actual news rather than propaganda.

Well I think that the media on all sides, constantly does this. They constantly look at phrases, or behaviors, and infer absolute villainy wherever they can. My concern is that the fact of this practice, of social neuroses on the media level, might actually inject real suspicion and anxiety into the general social construction of society, goading on / or generating bad behavior just by planting the seeds for it

That said, I myself do sometimes get a creepy vibe from biden. I also think trump is fairly creepy. But a mere recollection of how old he was, and how old someone else was, without reference to misconduct, really should not trigger an automatic inference of villainy in a normal mind.

I think that the white collar, upper culture people who work in media must constantly do this - constantly see everything in terms of pretense. And in extension, I bet that everyone in the upper class does this, maybe they all see their reality at the top as being built on pretense. Which actually says something disturbing about our upper class culture, and might make me glad to be blue collar, where people can at least be a little more down to earth, and not have to read into each other quite as much. That is to say, it is far more obvious if a blue collar individual is acting badly, or is a jerk

Though at the same time, media and upper class culture tries to train us all to think in terms of pretense

Only to you it is.


Must be a deep fake or something.

Such libelous insinuations from right-wing publications beg a question: is it in line with Christ's teachings to cast aspersions on others and their reputation without sufficient evidence, or does religion only matter when it serves specific political interests?

Amen to that!!!
I see this in my own media but American media in particular has always seemed really hyperbolic to me. Especially concerning political figures. Either championing or demonising them.
Granted ours does roughly the same but maybe not as frequent. And honestly not nearly as hyperbolic. Like it’s not exactly honest but still.
Maybe we just have stricter laws regarding that, or maybe we really don’t care during non election seasons, I dunno.

I’ll agree with that. Though from an international perspective Trump has never exactly been seen in a positive light. By either side of the political aisle, truth be told. At least from what I’ve seen
His reputation took a complete nosedive after the rather infamous Jan 6 riots though.

Hmm that may be true. America does seem to have harsh class divides. Not saying we don’t but yeah

Perhaps. Outrage culture does tend to bring in the big bucks for media companies though.
Honestly I think companies tend to bank on it for free advertising these days.
From the eye roll inducing “outrage” over minor gay background characters (Buzz Lightyear movie, Beauty and the Beast remake etc) to cries over how “woke” Rings of Power supposedly is, to the rather telling racist reaction to the soon to be released Little Mermaid. Seriously watching that last one unfold was just…… wow. :flushed:

Biden leaves viewers stunned in teachers speech: 'She was 12, I was 30'

I was watching the speech. He was talking about someone he was working with and how they knew each other a long time. He was only reflecting that he was 30 when he met her, and she was 12 at the time. There's nothing creepy about this any more than a teacher working with a former student later in life. Of course only the right wing will ruin this with immoral thoughts. Their minds are in the gutter.

JFK was creepy. LBJ was creepy. Nixon was a little creepy (Watergate.) Ford was not creepy. Carter is not creepy. Regan was not creepy. Bush Sr, slightly creepy (like Nixon.) Clinton is creepy, (as is VP Gore.) Bush Jr is not creepy. Obama is not creepy. Trump is creepy. Biden--kinda creepy. IMO.

Funny how those fine details are being kept under wraps. Guess nobody wants to explain or elaborate...

In the meantime, I'll think sniffy hair fetishism.



Or perhaps that oh so innocent shoulder perch for those very tired hands to rest on.
