Biden town hall prompts mockery, ‘Beavis and Butthead' comparisons
[NYP] President Biden is being dragged on social media after a moment in his CNN town hall performance that has users comparing him to the cartoon "Beavis and Butthead."

While listening to a question from CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Biden stood on the stage with his arms bent in front of him and fists closed. Dozens of netizens took to Twitter sharing an image of Biden in the position along with a picture of Beavis, who is known for the trademark jittery pose.

"Biden is straight comedy! Uhhhh Beavis......" former Australian NBA player Andrew Bogut tweeted with a laughing face emoji.

Social media personality and commentator Mike Cernovich tweeted a video of Biden with his arms bent and asked, "What is Biden doing?"

Dozens of Twitter users flooded Cernovich’s replies, making the comparison between the president and the cartoon character.

"That or he’s about to transform into cornholio," one user wrote, referencing Beavis’ hyperactive alter ego that usually makes the gesture.

Not even Bannon. I just can't fricking believe this nationwide Pravda filter. Is everyone bought by the Chi Coms?

The clinical picture of Alzheimer’s disease
1. Memory loss
2. Cognitive problems
3. Personality and behavior problems
4. Problems with the orientation to time and place

Moderate (or Middle) stage
Wandering: It represents the main problem for caregivers because they may lose the patient at night without appropriate clothes and because he can’t protect himself.
Emotional incontinence: It is an emotional disturbance, which, during it, the patient shows sudden, unexpected, and uncontrolled emotions, such as laughing, crying, and aggression with resistance to the caregivers.
Also, the patients in this stage suffer from illusions and delusions, and they may show impulsive behavior. Multiple tasking (tasks that require sequential steps), such as clothing and bathing, becomes difficult for patients in this stage.

#5 My take: He really did think his hands were resting on a podium. It's sad, creepy and alarming.

#6 Mail - President Joe Biden said police officers and emergency workers who refuse COVID-19 vaccination should stay home or be fired, as he answered questions during a CNN town hall on Thursday evening.

'Yes and yes,' he said to a thunderous round of applause.

Where do you go in this country (at this time) to find a "thunderous round of applause" for such a ridiculous comment? A CNN staged performance from start to finish.

Biden's handlers clearly want us to acknowledge that he is no longer in charge of anything. The goal appears to be for the public to go about their business and ignore him.

#9 #3 How the hell is it that NOT ONE news outlet, left or right are addressing Biden's stage of dementia?

Some potential explanations (which are not mutually exclusive):

- Orangeophobia: reporting on any aspect of Biden's full-spectrum incompetence, weakness or corruption serves to validate Trump's bitingly accurate criticism of the muppet

- Loathing of Deplorables: cf #1. Any friend or supporter of OrangeMan is my enemy, who shall not be given any comfort or quarter under any circumstances -- cf the Lincoln Project bastards, or Bret Stephens at the NYT

- Fear of Canceling by Colleagues: Even those few journalists who are relatively immune to #1 or #2 are unwilling to risk the wrath of the herd by declaring that the Emperor's buck naked and sniffing little girls while his douchebag son launders money for Chinese Communist thieves (and Kazakh, Ukrainian and Russian thieves).

Re #3, two of the best journalists in the business refused point blank, when I confronted them with the truth about Hillary and Steele's Russiagate bullshit and then about the truth of Hunter & The Big Guy's blatant lies about their ChiCom connections, to break either story.

Each of these superb journalists, gentlemen both, became uncharacteristically angry, weirdly dismissive and nasty when I said, "You know the truth. Why are you not reporting it? Why spread lies?"

The emotional resistance is massive. It's sickening. "Sad!"

Every synonym for infallible.

Remember, the bats have been leaving the belfry since before The Iowa Caucus. To admit Mr. Biden's health problems is to untie all narrative until then, you horse faced pony soldier.

#11 “ When Beavis turns into Cornholio, he will raise his forearms in a 90-degree angle next to his chest, pull his shirt over his head, and then begin to yell or scream erratically, producing a stream of gibberish and strange noises, his eyes wide.”.

Yes. Consider that CEOs of major corporations believe their primary responsibility is their fiduciary responsibility to their stake holders. That means profits are the most important thing to them. In a global economy, profits are more important than loyalty to the United States or, for that matter, accurately and fairly reporting the news. Their job is not to inform you but to make money by keeping you entertained. And, if they want to make profits in China, they must avoid doing anything that the CCP disapproves. That means media corporations like Disney (ABC), ViacomCBS and ComcastNBC will never say anything that makes #FJB look bad because he is Xi Jinping's boy. They have too much money at stake in China.

#14 See what happens to the NBA when one of their players talks out of turn. You can bet your butt that Disney will not allow anything like this to happen.

#15 It really doesn't matter. No one pays attention to what he says--and that sounds snarky, but it's meant as a statement of truth. See, for example, the workers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, who he announced with great fanfare would be working 24/7. They're not. And there are no consequences for them (or for anyone else) for ignoring Biden completely.
