Screenshots display confusion over whether Biden is popular or unpopular.

At WaPo:


I didn't read either column. I just laughed at the first one. As for the second one, I got absorbed comparing the looks of the 69-year-old Kennedy and the 80-year-old Biden. The relative smoothness is freaky.

Biden probably does Botox and likely has had cometic surgery.

I thought the same. Joe's plastic surgery becomes very obvious.

Joe Biden's face has been weird for years. Way too much Botox/plastic surgery - Madame Tussauds... Similar - Nancy Pelosi.

holdfast म्हणाले...

Kennedy is a Marxist lunatic. Yes he was correct to show some skepticism on Covid vaccines, but that’s because he is obsessive on the topic of vaccines generally. It doesn’t make him a good potential president. At most it makes him a useful spoiler to mess up the Democrats.

Michael K म्हणाले...

Biden was the only imitation moderate the Democrats could come up with in 2019. He has proven to be a Potemkin moderate but his senility is showing in his rages about Trump. His Leni Riefenstahl style speech sort of gave away the would be dictator. But we all know, even Democrats, that Biden is just a paper image. Nobody know for sure who is running things. A lot of us would not be so upset if those running things were only competent and not crazy.

My hatred for these fawning sycophants is incandescent as the sun. The typical boogaloo fantasy has all manner of nasty things befalling politicians and street muscle like Antifa. Not me. My fantasy reserves the worst fate for the MSM.

Editors go last. Make them watch.

So, maybe it was 81 million votes of fraud!!

I've always looked on Joe Biden as PROFOUNDLY stupid, but someone figured he would make a good president????

but i knew that already

Aggie म्हणाले...

People always imagine that plastic surgery doesn't show. All you have to do is scroll through 50 years' worth of Joe to see how that works out. That prick John Kerry is another Nip-Tuck-Botox-Plugs poster mummy that, cumulative effect, looks like an Area 51 resident, either inside the bunker or with the rest of the reptiles outside, sunning. Kennedy is unmarked and looks human.

"The relative smoothness is freaky..." A lifetime suckling at the government teat is not something that would put lines on one's face, especially when one considers that the sun has not shone on Biden's face for the 40 plus years his head has been up his ass.

Rabel म्हणाले...

You know you're looking at a modified image of Biden, right?

He does have relatively smooth facial skin thanks partly to multiple cosmetic surgeries, but in that photo his age spots have been erased, that ugly place above his left nostril is gone, there's heavy smoothing around the jawline and a softening filter looks to have been applied to the entire photo.

Propaganda has really progressed since the days of Vaseline on the lens.

Democrats don't like Biden. What's to like?

Democrats like "Democrat", however stupid and corrupt.

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...

Trump, DeSantis, and RFK Jr. don't have the advantage of the Democrat voter fraud machine.

They are also saying a lot of things that college educated white suburban women don't want to hear. This group is no longer a block of "swing" voters. They are entrenched on the far left.

One "theory" I saw today is Joe will drop out of the race. Hunter goes free and the Biden bribes are buried. Gavin Newsome will jump in.

I'd imagine too at this point, considering the Hunter deal, the odds of Trump going to prison are pretty high. Judge set the trial date for August. It's now just in your face brazen. Nobody even pretends or makes and effort to apply "the rule of law" equally. It's now just an empty platitude.

Trump will be convicted. Even if there isn't prison time, I would expect efforts in places like Madison, WI to remove him from the ballot because of the conviction. The country missed its chance in 2020 to deal with all of this. We've "moved on" into the abyss.

RNB म्हणाले...

No, Biden should not be as unpopular as Trump. He should be MORE unpopular than Trump. Much more unpopular.

Sydney म्हणाले...

Biden also has more hair than he did in his 50’s.

William म्हणाले...

Any man who goes for hair plugs will go for a face lift...People are not antipathetic to Biden personally. It's his age and enfeeblement they don't like....To give him credit, his bribery boutique was far more honest than the Clinton's wholesale operation. His family, save for Hunter, were willing to pay their fair share of taxes on the bribes they received. The Clinton Global Initiative was a tax free way of bribing the Clintons. Democrats respect Joe Biden's honesty in this matter...I didn't know that RFK Jr. was that old. He looks good, and it's a more honest way aging than Biden. I bet women find him attractive. In a few more years, he'll be safe to leave around your daughter. I bet Biden has a trunk load of oppo research on him if needed.

MrLiberty म्हणाले...

Search the internet. You can find pics of Biden as Senator with ear lobes that do NOT connect to his head, and many recent pics in which they do. There appears to be recent pics showing BOTH. This is a GENETIC thing, not something that changes with age or makeup. MANY have suggested that this is NOT actually the person who used to be Senator Biden. Wouldn't be surprised one bit.

gilbar म्हणाले...

of course, the Thing IS: Biden's NOT 'as unpopular as Trump'.. He's MORE Unpopular
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/majority-biden-worse-than-other-presidents-losing-to-trump-by-6
Majority: Biden ‘worse’ than other presidents, losing to Trump by 6
Rasmussen Reports said that 52% feel Biden has been a “worse president than most recent presidents.” Just 32% believe he has been “better,” a number driven by supportive Democrats.

In a sign that the president is having trouble rallying independent voters, which will likely be the difference-maker in the 2024 outcome, they agree with the majority’s view. By a margin of 60%-20%, independents said Biden has been worse than those who came before him.

One reason may be that many likely voters believe the Biden administration is corrupt.

Rasmussen said that 45% believe that Biden’s team is more corrupt than past administrations, versus 37% who believe it has been less corrupt.

it's Important to remember; that the 37% who 'believe it has been less corrupt', are people that are paying Bribes to the Biden Admin

Leland म्हणाले...

The first one is funny because setting aside the reportedly fortified and accurate 2020 election, Joe Biden has never been popular. He was Senator from one of the least populous states in our country. Only by process of elimination did he finally make it to the top of the Democrat ticket. Even when he was installed as President, Democrats claimed his vote was buoyed not by people wanting Biden but hating Trump.

"You know you're looking at a modified image of Biden, right?"

I don't know what I'm looking at other than that it's badly screwed up. I'm less interested in whether what we're seeing there was done in photo processing or whether it's the product of surgery and other cosmetic procedures than in the fact that it's a thoroughly creepy look and it was chosen and actively inflicted on us in an effort to win our favor.

By contrast, RFK Jr., plainly aged, is quite appealing.

There's also good old-fashioned makeup, and that could include spackling on something thick that could fill in the grooves.

Explain to me again why Biden should be more popular?

tommyesq म्हणाले...

Easy to reconcile - Biden is (at least) as unpopular as Trump, but Democrats (as in elite members of the DNC and the like, not the hoi polloi idiot dem voters) like Joe Biden, or at least the empty-headed carcass on whom they can force their wildest, most negative policies.

Limited blogger म्हणाले...

Get me another bucket of spackle!

tommyesq म्हणाले...

I am - there is nothing I have learned about his personal life and his personal way of dealing with the people around him that hasn't been entirely negative. Plus his politics sucks.

Bob Boyd म्हणाले...

Fill your freezers people. You ain't gettin' any younger and the good times won't last forever.

Biden. He has his father’s eyes. Corrupt , lying, lifeless. Filled with the fog of malarkey, guilt and his own human waste.

Meade म्हणाले...

Biden’s eyes used to be much larger and expressive. Now they’re no larger than the head of a pin, the prick of his 8th booster shot, the soul of this emoji 😕.

He gets that a lot. All the lesser Kennedys do. My wife's business partner would coo and ooze when she saw RFK in Scituate...

Biden's favorables are actually lower than Trumps. Only Jimmy Carter has been worse, since this type of polling has been done.

Scroll down and look at the side by side, and you tell me.

Remember folks: Botox lasts about four months.

So either you are seeing someone with constant re application or you are seeing someone who has had other things than Botox done.

Keen observation! I noticed the same uncanny smoothness. Weird.

"There's also good old-fashioned makeup, and that could include spackling on something thick that could fill in the grooves."

Yup. Rumor has it that when Queen Elizabeth died, the very first thing the Biden administration did -- even before offering their condolences -- was to hire her makeup team.

Biff म्हणाले...

Ann Althouse said..."By contrast, RFK Jr., plainly aged, is quite appealing."

The irony is that the RFKJ pic clearly has been chosen/manipulated to highlight his wrinkles. The lighting and color saturation are both a little off. I'm guessing the intent was to make him look older, more weathered, maybe even a little bit mean.

You always can tell the score by the photo choices.

But what about the fact that the letters "NIG" are clearly set apart by a fold in the fabric of his suit?

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

I watched parts of the Joe Rogan podcast with Kennedy, and one thing that struck me physically about Kennedy is that he seems to be compactly built for a 69 year old man- muscular upper arms, forearms and chest were quite noticeable through his shirt. He has obviously kept good care of himself physically. If Biden ever challenges him to a push up contest, it won't go well for President Shit For Brains.

Of course the MSM uses photo improvements to send messages to the lofo voters and avoid the real issues.

Every time I listen to RFK Jr it sounds like he's about to lose his voice. He's thoughtful, and I like hearing his perspective, but it makes him sound frail and it's hard not to get distracted by it.

Notice that CNN airbrushed life into Biden's cheeks. He's usually whiter than a Klan Rally.

Static Ping म्हणाले...

They haven't been given their talking points yet, so each media organization is on their own to determine the best way to flatter the potato-in-chief. I'm sure someone will get on it and everyone will fall into line. Or not. Blatant contradiction is not really a detriment to the left. They don't care about consistency, hypocrisy, cognitive dissonance, or, for that matter, the truth.

Plugs Biden was early adopter of aesthetic modifications.
It's akin to his plagiarism(s) and plasticity.

He has a medical condition, I think it's called spasmodic dysphonia, or something similar. It's an involuntary spasming of the vocal cord musculature. There are no medical treatments, if I recall. My F.I.L. has it, as did one of my high school math teachers.

He's very popular with the cretins. In fact he's the king cretin. I have it on very good authority from people on this very blogsite that they will vote for the king of cretins again. Who knows why cretins do what they do.

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

Karen of Texas is right: THAT 1974 Kitty Kelley profile of Biden is the creepiest political article of all time.

What's worse: threatening to take away the First Amendments rights of the female reporter he's hitting on while sitting under a huge photo of his dead wife's gravestone, or bragging about how hot his dead wife was in a bikini while sitting under a huge photo of his dead wife's gravestone? Bragging about all the sympathy invites he gets in Washington while sitting under a giant photo of his dead wife's gravestone, or bragging about how much smarter he is than the people he brags about being invited to dinner with?

Under a giant photo of his dead wife's gravestone. In his Senate office.

TRISTRAM म्हणाले...

I don’t see a disconnect. One is ‘For the population as a whole, Biden is as unpopular as Trump was’ Same percentage, just only a partial overlap. “For RFKjr, the problem is the Democratic (esp. primary) voters like Biden.” Both can be (an likely are) true at the same time.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

RFK jr deserves to be heard. He is another truth teller, or he will refuse to say what he thinks, like a good politician. In other words he is a real middle of the road old style Democrat.
