Thank God for fact-checkers. Where would we be without them? Instead of believing the evidence provided by our own two eyes, we’re assured that what we see isn’t really what we thought we saw. Except when it is. But that’s another story.
Last Thursday, Joe Biden spoke to students and faculty at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro. It was boilerplate political stuff — blaming the supply chain problems on COVID-19, increased fuel prices on the Russians, and inflation wasn’t his fault.
At the end of the speech, Biden’s eyes became a little glassy and he turned around slowly and extended his hand. Except there was no one there.

Well, it's obvious the puppet master wasn't paying attention, probably had to stifle a sneeze or something, and let go of the string for a moment and Biden's hand was just sort of hanging in the wind so to speak.

Biden's gestures after he stuck out his hand indicate he was surprised/startled that no one was there. He eventually turned around 180 degrees, like someone trying to figure out where they are and where they should go next. You don't need to watch the entire 40 minute speech to 'get context'.

Dim associated fact checkers would create excuses for Herod and Pilate who acted like dims. We know Herod had children killed post birth

After the large sums Xi has "invested" in the Biden crime family, Brandon is always looking for affirmation from his owner.

Brandon was shaking hands with his best friend Harvey, an invisible six foot-tall rabbit.

I'm going to play Devil's advocate here and add a comment with which some will surely disagree, but I cannot honestly say I can discern what the heck it is Biden is attempting here, no more than than the self-styled fact-checkers can. Biden may have been gesturing to the small crowd stage right, he may have been attempting to congratulate Harvey the invisible rabbit, or perhaps his struggling brain even remembers that he was once a fan of the Cleveland Indians and is attempting the memorable 'tomahawk chop'.
I try to be an equal-opportunity skeptic. Bearing in mind how the mainstream press leapt upon every perceived gaff and comment that Trump made, there is no reason to assume that our side is any more kind in their assessments of Biden's confusing gestures and garbled rhetoric. I find that a workable probability-determining algorithm to apply is "how much credence might I give the same allegation were CNN saying the same thing about Trump. Perhaps that's setting bar a bit high, but you get the idea.

"Are you going to believe the fact checker or your lying eyes?" (A tip of the hat to the Marx brothers -- Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Karl)
His performance at the speech reminded me of another Marx brothers quote. "He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot."

President Biden looks like Admiral Hargrade, the doddering and confused former head of CONTROL on the classic 1960s comedy series, “Get Smart.”

#11, the Atlanta Braves fans did the tomahawk chop. The Cleveland Indians fans drank beer.
For those of us who have dealt with friends or family members with dementia, we recognize that glazed look and slightly confused, aimlessly wandering around Jo Biden. If Adulterous Jill is cruel enough to put Jo through these events, at least she could be right there to take his hand and lead him off the stage.

C'mon, man, you've got way better fish to fry.
Next time, just run with a recap of the dozens of nondebatable verbal gaffes by Xiden, rather than tie up a news story on something as debatable as the 'hand shake in thin air.'

Jill Biden, pardon DR Jill Biden, should be shot for allowing her husband out like this----she knew better than anyone about his decline while he was running from the basement, and could have dissuaded this man, whose ego agreed that he would be the next FDR, from running....and I notice that she is NOT around at a good deal of the disasters, out "teaching a class" etc.

Don't be too hard on our cabbage head president folks he was following orders. He was listening to that idiot Klein yelling at him in his earpiece to turn to the right and snake hands with Secretary Austin. Only Austin himself a clueless moron got lost on his way to the event.

Snopes says, "That's rain on your leg." I say, "That's micturition. Zip it up." As far as Xidens's hand gestures go, he's also known for doing his impression of Mattel's Rockem Sockem boxing robot. He's got hands out there at the ends of his arms, and he doesn't know what to do with them..(What he actually said was "I'm radioactive. Shake.")
