Joe Biden’s Vacant Debate (And Eyes)
Townhall.com ^ | October 1, 2020 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 10/01/2020 4:05:53 AM PDT by Kaslin

That was fun. The first debate is in the books and the pearl-clutching class has, as expected, clutched their pearls. Democrats in the media were outraged by President Trump’s behavior, never-Trump “Republicans” and self-important, self-appointed “keepers of conservatism” were beside themselves over the president’s tone and interrupting. To me, and to people who don’t make their living from left-wing media corporations and billionaire donors who don’t mind tossing away millions of dollars on little-read vanity project websites, it was a good night where the president was able to shine a light on a great number of issues and stories these groups of people would rather remain in the dark. And by dark, I mean as dark as Joe Biden’s eyes.

I’ll get to the issues in a minute, but I have to note Joe Biden’s eyes. Am I the only person who noticed his eyes were dilated during the entire debate? He has normal blue eyes, and looks like a normal person most of the time. In the debate, he looked vacant, more vacant than usual. Not a lost vacant, a “not there” vacant. Check out clips and look at his eyes, they remind me of the Quint speech from Jaws about a shark’s eyes, “lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes.” That was Joe Biden’s eyes, at least to me, during the debate.

I’m not suggesting he was on mind-focusing drugs, but I am curious that one of the side effects of Adderall is dilated pupils.  

As for the content of the debate, Biden fell flat.

What does Joe Biden want to do as president? As far as I can tell, he wants to be “not Donald Trump.” He insisted he does not support the Green New Deal, which has to come as a surprise to his supporters who thought they’d had their champion to “save the planet” before the latest “we only have 10 years to save the planet” window closes. It also had to come as a surprise to whoever runs his campaign website, since it reads “Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.”

Moreover, Biden’s running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, who is an original co-sponsor of the Green New Deal in the Senate, said last year that if she were elected she would get rid of the filibuster to pass it.

But why let the facts stand in the way of a good story? Moderator Chris Wallace, who was locked in seclusion with his team in preparation for the debate, must’ve decided to just Netflix and chill rather than familiarize themselves Biden’s policies and history.

Wallace also didn’t bother discussing truthfully the president’s history of condemning white supremacists, which he has done multiple times. Instead, he repeated the Charlottesville lie, claiming he didn’t condemn neo-Nazis (which he did). When the president happily condemned it again, Wallace and Biden, as if a tag team in the WWE, talked over him, then denied he’d said it.

Meanwhile, Biden offered nothing. Seriously, what does Joe Biden want to do? Raise taxes, sure. He did admit that. He said he doesn’t support socialized medicine while proposing socialized medicine. He wants “justice,” but didn’t define what that meant. He called the president a racist, told him to shut up, and called him a clown. Remember anything else from Joe?

What amazed me most wasn’t that Wallace was horrible or that Joe didn’t offer anything remotely specific, it was just how unprepared Biden was on the issue of his loser son Hunter.

It’s been a year since questions arose about Hunter’s history of falling bass-ackwards into piles of money related to his father’s positions in government. As a senator, he sat on the board of a bank that shoveled money to his father and his father protected, with no experience in banking. He sat on the board of Amtrak, which his father kept alive with billions in federal subsidies, with having ridden trains being his only experience with railroads. He got $1.5 billion out of the Chinese communist government for a hedge fund while Joe was running point on China policy for Obama, with no experience with hedge funds, on a trip with his dad to China. It didn’t occur to Joe to ask why his son was tagging along to China on an official government trip? And then there’s the untold fortune he milked from the Ukrainian oil and gas company with no experience in oil and gas.

Hunter Biden’s life is one long convoy of Brinks trucks dumping piles of cash out on his lawn, with no negative impact on that convoy from his history of drug problems, being run out of the military for cocaine use, personal family issues, or general stench of loserdom that surrounds him like stink lines around Pig-Pen in the old Peanuts cartoons. Nope, when he walks into a meeting, people just feel mysteriously compelled to open up their bank accounts and make him richer.

Yet somehow, after all this time and all these stories, Joe Biden is still unprepared to answer any questions about any of it. Wallace didn’t ask, of course (that would be too much like journalism and might jeopardize his chance at getting an interview with Joe), but Trump did. And Biden lied about it.

Joe denied Hunter received a $3.5 million in a mysterious wire transfer from the wife of the former Mayor of Moscow for reasons no one can understand, he simply said it was “debunked.” He didn’t say by who, and wasn’t asked, naturally.

Biden could only try to get away with any of this because he knows there is no one in media he will be questioned by who will point it out or follow up with him, and his handlers won’t allow anyone who would into the same zip code with him.

Ultimately, Joe’s performance was…missing, he was just there. A physical body on the stage that didn’t answer questions or offer policies, simply parroted talking points and hurled childish insults. Biden has always been an empty suit, it makes sense that his performance would be vacant too.

For people who think that BiteMe’s performance Tuesday night rules out dementia...

Most states in the US still allow people diagnosed with dementia to drive.

BiteMe is impaired. And the fact that the enemedia won’t ask the capmaign to confirm or deny speaks volumes.

BARF BAG ALERT Early surge of Democrat voting worries GOP
The Day (Washington Post article) | September 30, 2020 | Amy Gardner & Josh Hawsey / FR Posted by bort

"In North Carolina and Georgia, for instance, one in five voters who have already cast ballots didn't even vote in 2016, McDonald said. Mail ballot requests are up astronomically in dozens of states; the figure is 350% in Michigan, for instance, when compared to 2016.

In North Carolina, 17 times more people have requested ballots than four years ago; in Wisconsin, requests were up by a factor of 12, according to internal RNC data. The fact that more Democrats have not just requested their ballots but have also turned them in is also a reversal of the trend in prior elections, McDonald said. It means one of two things, he added: That Democrats are more enthusiastic and are filling out their ballots quickly, or that Republicans are holding onto their ballots despite requesting them, out of concern over potential fraud.

"It could be that they're listening to Donald Trump, and even though they are requesting a ballot, they are going to vote in person if they vote at all," he said. Additionally, younger voters are a much smaller share of the voters who have already cast ballots so far than was the case overall in 2016 - leading him to believe that most young people, the majority of whom will support Biden, will vote much closer to Nov. 3 or on Election Day itself.

"I can't say with certainty that this is going to carry through," he added. "But everything that's happened over the past couple of decades, and our understanding of how people vote, is being upended in this election." (Excerpt) Read more at theday.com ...

"Biden backers are more enthusiastic about their candidate than those backing Trump," says one analyst......
<><> "huge numbers of Democrats have requested mail-in ballots,"
<><> "are filling them out quickly, and,"
<><> "have already turned them in weeks before the election."

===========================

This story is so bogus.....there is no enthusiasm at the grassroots level for Biden.

The Dems are working overtime, putting a false face on orchestrated voter fraud.

===========================================

So where are all these "enthusiastic" Biden voters when Biden has campaign events in their towns?

A Biden campaign event in a liquor store parking lot. Six people show up to hear Jill speak.

Where are the party regulars? The elected locals...the people expected to get the vote out?

Media probably isn’t questioning because half of them are being kept afloat through Chinese “investment” themselves.

Mr. journOlist, Ezra Klein believes Joe won the Debate, BUT!

29 Sept: MSN: Vox: Joe Biden’s most surprising, and possibly important, answer of the debate
by Ezra Klein
Throughout the debate, Trump demanded Biden decry things he has already decried, or disavow policies he has already disavowed. And Biden did so eagerly. Asked to say “law and order,” he said it. Challenged to speak positively of law enforcement, he did. Pushed to denounce violent protesters, he called for their prosecution.

Attacked for his plans to defund the police, pass a $100 trillion Green New Deal, and abolish private insurance, Biden said he opposed all of those ideas. “He just lost the left,” Trump muttered angrily.

Which made it all the more notable that when moderator Chris Wallace asked Biden to “tell the American people tonight whether or not you will support either ending the filibuster or packing the court,” Biden refused. “Whatever position I take on that, that will become the issue,” he replied.

On the merits, this is a dodge. Those are consequential questions of governance, and Biden is running for president. His views are supposed to become flashpoints in the election...

The question shadowing Biden’s campaign is whether his oft-voiced nostalgia for the Senate that was will render him paralyzed by the Senate that is; whether he will be too attached to a past era in American politics to make the decisions necessary to govern well in this one. Early in the campaign, I was reasonably sure it would. I’m less so now.

Dilated pupils is one of the signs of a central nervous system stimulant.

pupil dilation is a common side effect of Adderall

Adderall (Aderal) is a central nervous system stimulant prescription medicine used for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications such as Adderall (Aderal) are thought to work by restoring the balance between certain chemicals in the brain.

When Biden gets caught off guard he has a “dies not compute” blank look. Saw it when Trump mentioned the 3.5 million.

Adderall and Ritalin will cause eyes to dilate.

What I noticed about Joe Bidens eyes is that he kept squeezing them closed when he fumbled for a word, he never has done that in the past. This is something new with his mental decline.

Why isn’t Biden’s Amtrak Tour making stops in black communities? That’s Biden’s base... and train tracks always run through black neighborhoods.

Anyone know?

(Liz, s of those six people in the picture look like reporters...)

Yes I do remember something else about Biden’s remarks. His refusal to state his position on court packing. Didn’t want to make it the issue! The issue is, vote!
He’s a candidate. Stating one’s positions on issues is the job.

So how many times can you pump up a old man with drugs before he has a stroke? Did anyone notice that at times when Trump was hammering Biden about Hunter that Joe’s right side temple was bulging?

We’ve seen photos of his hand indicating the presence of an IV port wound, and now there are photos of an odd little clip on the cuff of his shirt.
He may not be “wired,” but I’ve no doubt he is tubed.

I am no Biden Fan but I believe if he is on those drugs he needs a court appointed medical guardian considering his brain surgery. He is a walking timebomb.

I watched the video, and paid attention to the debate clips. The contact lens might seem like a conspiracy theory and a bit over the top, but ...

1. I Googled some images of him, and his eyes are a light blue. At the debate they were dark brown moving in to black.

2. Some of his monologues, e.c., re voting, show a stream of consciousness that a normal person would have. We know he hasn’t been able to do this if he’s thinking for himself. He can’t speak one coherent sentence, much less spit out paragraph-long diatribes as he did in the debate.

3. The lenses are super high tech, and expensive, but when all of the Silicon Valley would do anything for a RAT win, the cost wouldn’t be a problem. They’s just chalk it up to R&D.
