Yawn, it might be Worthwhile,
Fact Checking Altered Photos.

It's Worth Noting, We Do Live
in A "Photo-Shop" World; the
Faux News Had me Concerned too,
Until i Dutifully, Fact Checked it too...


"Examining the images
On social media, the accusation is often accompanied by images, memes, GIFs and videos of Biden appearing to touch children inappropriately. The photos that are real often lack context. Others are not of him or have been deceptively edited to suggest something improper.

We found that these images are overwhelmingly captured at public events when he is posing for pictures or greeting people and many depict Biden showing affection toward his family.

For example, one photo, of Biden leaning down by a boy with his hand cupped on the child’s face, shows him comforting his grandson at the funeral of Beau Biden, Biden’s son who died of brain cancer. Another image from the funeral routinely used in posts shows Biden kissing the top of his granddaughter’s head as she stands holding her mother’s hand. Another shows Biden leaning in to kiss his grandson during his 2013 swearing-in ceremony as vice president.

RELATED: No, this photo doesn't show Joe Biden engaging in disturbing behavior with a boy

Some of the photos used in the posts were taken at various White House events over the years, and in multiple cases the parents have spoken out against claims that Biden behaved inappropriately around their children.

One often-used photo shows Biden touching a young girl’s arm as he leans in to whisper something as she looks slightly uncomfortable.

The image shows Maggie Coons, the daughter of Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, during her father’s swearing-in ceremony in January 2015.

After the clip went viral, Sen. Coons, a Democrat, told Fox News host Chris Wallace that Biden was simply offering her reassurance and that his daughter didn’t think he was creepy. Coons said that Biden, who held Coons’ Senate seat before resigning to serve as vice president, has known his children their whole lives.

"I could hear him," Coons said in the interview. "He was leaning forward and whispering some encouragement to her about how, when he was sworn in, his own daughter Ashley was 13 and she felt awkward and uncomfortable."

Carly Melin, former member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, spoke out on Twitter when a 2014 photo she took with Biden and former U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Minn., became the subject of a Twitter thread by conservative columnist Richard Armande Mills. In the image, Melin and Biden are both holding Melin’s son. Mills, a conservative columnist for Turning Point USA, wrote in the tweet that Biden is "an open sexual predator."

"Sir, I don’t know you," Melin responded. "You have tweeted out multiple photos of my infant son in a disturbing, misconstrued attempt to advance your political viewpoint. Delete all tweets that include my son. I’ve reported your behavior to Twitter. Thank you."

Our ruling
Social media users claim that Biden is a pedophile. There is zero evidence — no accusations, testimonies, arrests or investigations — that gives this claim any credibility.

Photos that supposedly support the claim are taken out of context or have been directly contradicted by the families involved.

We rate this Pants on Fire."

Political opposition, are naturally going to run with any kind of rumour , innuendo, allegations, internet memes, in order to attack and smear. And that s quite a strong accusation. Clinton(s) in 90's had a lot of heat put on them too, from the opposition.

Additionally, Yawn, 'on ToPiC', Rogan's Popularity
As the Number One Podcaster Globally in Terms
Of Views in the World, Is News Worthy, So Yawn,

In Turn, CNN, Investigated
For Their Audience, Who
Might not See the Appeal...

It's Called Pursuing News that
Folks Might be Interested in, in Detailed
Fashion And Not Just A Blow Hard or Soft Opinion;

Similar, to The Style used in the so-called "Jimmy Dore
Show" to Gain Some Views From Folks Addicted to the Dopamine
And Adrenaline Fix of Overall Discontent, And Everything Hate about this

Life Now;
Somehow,
Sadly Failing, to See, AND
DO The Glass Now is More
Than Half-Full for those
Who Adapt to the Situation
At Hand, and Not Only survive, yet thrive;

And That's What's So Dam Interesting About Joe Rogan,

He Has Surely Done This And Continues to Adapt to Challenge
And Succeed in What He Is Personally Trying to Do; Yep, Please
A Wide Range of Folks In a Target Audience For Fame and Fortune;

The So-called
American Dream,
Even More So for
Newest Generations,
Hoping to Gain Fame and
Fortune on Social Media, Doing Life Their Own Way;
If they Can and Will Stomach Coming Target Audience

Demands,

And Make the
Grade, Like Any
NFL Player, Who Was
Once Only Grade School, Football Material;

Soon For Buy and Sell if they Do Well Enough Next.

At least, Rogan Has A Generally Optimistic View of Life
And Doesn't Share The Same 'Sour Puss Face View' of 'Peterson',
And Blow Hard Style of Spinning Some Words of the so-called 'Dore Experience'...

Yuck;

i'd Much
Rather Listen
to Rogan than
Dore or Peterson
Just Because He's

Really Doing Something
That is at Least a little bit MORE
THAN GLASS IS EMPTY LIFE NOW.

BEEN THERE DONE IT; i understand
the Challenge; Yet Overflowing Fountain

of Joy and Happiness Through All the THorns of Life

Makes Life
So Much
Damned Better...

-Snoopy

~Make the Best of
Life or Go 'Sour Puss' Like the Rest...

And That Indeed is the Appeal of Rogan...

It's Harder to Understand, Until Ya Enjoy the THorns...

i Don't Agree with a Lot of What Joe Rogan Says Yet

i Appreciate

His Overall

Zeal for Life....

And i Ain't Gonna Add
Another Frigging App to
See His 10 Minute Highlights
From His 3 Hour 'Church Services' hehe...

There is Plenty More Great FREE Stuff to See, Hear, And Learn
About; Stuff i Agree With, And "Stuff", i Don't Agree with Either...

Ya Gotta
Mix the
DarK and
LiGHT to
Enjoy the TWiLiGHT
Ever Lasting oF iT All,
Like A REAL Vampire Who
Lives Longer Than Folks Expect, hehe...

Just RiSinG Out of the DarK iNto TWiLiGHT Once Again..;)

Reading your post aghogday. It just struck me. Joe Rogan is just basically a modern day Johnny Carson.

I didn't say it was sexual. In fact I said I don't care if it's considered sexual or not. I didn't say it criminal, either. That's not my point. I'm drawing attention to the double standard, and the fact that voters have a warped sense of morality.

If Trump did the same thing, it wouldn't be tolerated. People would have gone mad. CNN would call it sick and disgusting, or sexist, or perverted, or call him a pedophile.

I'm not defending Trump by any stretch of the imagination. They're both sick puppies as far as I'm concerned.

Surely someone on Biden's team could have / should have stopped him.

Didn't he have advisors?

Didn't people tell him it wasn't 1960 anymore?



Maybe his advisors work for Q?*

I wonder if it is related to his 'dementia', but I haven't checked that yet.

Bush Jr at least swung that way, and trump went full reh-tard, at least according to 'ahem' CNN


to end this on a moar cereal note, Bush Jr Didnt start saying off the wall dumbya stuff till he was Gov., so he may match early alzheimers, but what CNN is doing with trump doesnt fit dementia, but rather narcissism.

However by making him look stupider than he is, they end up watering down his narcissism, saying hes just stupid or uninterested when hes a real active and engaged dick.

My point is - the last two Rinos acted or were incredibly stupid. I wonder if Biden is the dem version of 'bad and dumb'

I havent checked it out yet, if its true what they are saying about Biden saying demented things. But after the Dubya and Trump I have to at least consider it till I check it out.


* I dont buy the 'fact' that q was invented by 8chan, and feel bad for some of those who got mixed up.

I used to hang around forms like 4chan and saw how Q was promoted there, more personal and less moronic than most would expect.

I dont know how this woman got mixed up, but sure I wish my Mother was more like her.

no CNN result I can quickly find on this, which surprises me


Quote:
Cynthia Abcug became “a bit crazy” after Colorado child welfare officials removed her son from her custody, her daughter told authorities.

As she struggled with the separation, the 50-year-old woman was increasingly consumed by the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, according to police records. She made frequent appearances on fringe YouTube shows, claiming in one September video that child protective services “has child trafficking rings in certain areas.” She stopped going to therapy and started leaving her Denver-area home only to meet with QAnon followers; one of them, an armed man, stayed with her for “self-defense.” She spoke of “evil Satan worshipers” and pedophiles, according to what her daughter told police.
