What rightwingers/delorables are now being distracted with-- they make me sick

There's meme that is a huge deal with the rightwing now. It's based on a video clip with Biden signing orders at his desk where you can't even clearly hear what he's saying. They claim he says "I don't even know what I'm signing". All I can hear -- even with the volume turned all the way up and listening closely-- is "I'm signing". But the right has TOTALLY LATCHED onto this as PROOF that Biden is senile and being manipulated to sign things he doesn't understand. They don't listen to him talk or read any actual news stories about what he's doing. It's sickening. It's so depressing how easily manipulated the rigtwing is-- it's no wonder Trump chose that arm of our political system for his illegal conjob presidency. My god, what can we do with these people???

Not sure if I should provide the link here or not but I have it if anyone wants to see it. It's so ridiculous.

They are very frustrating either way

expecting them to hear “a reality check”. Why waste your time.

something unclear. Easier than manipulation and spreads like wildfire in their circles, apparently

Is these people have influence on people who believe their lies. It’s disturbing, imo
