It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He walks like a nursing home patient trying to prove they aren't a fall risk so that they don't have to have an escort to piss. He's unsteady to the point that he overcompensates.

[–] btfod@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

The way his upper body didn't move reminded me of junior high marching band, love to have a president with such CLASS AND COORDINATION

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Yea between the short steps and the stiff arms it really looks like he just filled his diaper.

Also it's pretty notable that they didn't actually show him make it to the helicopter or wherever he was going.

"In North Korea the citizens cheer for their leader when he does even the most mundane everyday tasks."

Unusually strong for Biden is "can walk 50 feet in a straight ish line." Truly American exceptionalism is justified

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

Not pictured: Biden lifting the helicopter and then eating it in a single bite

[–] Moonworm@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't think you should ever be describing your leaders as "unusually strong today".

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Today Xi Xinping crushed a tech executive into a small ball in his hands, in a move experts are saying demonstrates "an unusual strength"

[–] HonestMistake_@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Surely being able to occasionally walk a couple of steps, somewhat, is deserving of peoples votes in an election.

Old blatantly limping man with a bizarrely stiff walk

WHAT VIGOR!

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The twitter account looks pretty republican and is most likely posting sarcastically here.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every time a liberal tries to tell me how great Biden is doing it seems like they're being sarcastic too until I realize they're actually dead serious so who knows.

When you have snopes writing articles saying it's a lie to say Biden tripped going up the stairs and they say it's a lie because he didn't trip he just caught his foot on the step leading to brief uncontrolled forward momentum it's pretty hard to decipher if they're actually being genuine.

I'm more concerned about his mental grasp than his ability to walk and they are both declining. Compare Biden's speech within the last few months with 2020 campaign speeches, and he had clearly lost ground at that time too. But anyway the twitter account still appears to have pretty shitty politics.

Idk could be Blue MAGA

[–] dead@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This comment is correct. The tweet is a joke. The tweeter is a right wing guy who is most known for heckling the white house press secretary and a contributor to Fox News.

Search his name on youtube, "Simon Ateba". The top results are like 3 separate times that he was interviewed on Fox news and then there's a several videos of him heckling during the white house press briefings. During the press briefing, he interrupts the speaker and shouts: "This is not China. This is not Russia. We are in America." He is saying that like China and Russia are evil authoritarian, but the US is good Free Speech (tm). The other journalists tell him to stop interrupting.

This is not a denial that Brandon is not walking badly or suffering from dementia. I am pointing out that the tweet is a sarcastic joke by a right winger and not some delusional Bidenist.

Biden's aides proclaim that with just 5 minutes of tummy time per day, Mr Biden should be able to support the weight of his own head within just a few weeks.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He still looks like shit lol if this is “unusually strong” can my dude even walk normally?

Edit: we fell for a bit angery

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I was an actor and was given the direction "you have received a mortal wound, and you walk off into the sunset trying to play it casually"

This is how I would walk

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I once saw a liveleak video of a guy shooting his boss and then himself with a 12 gauge, and this is literally exactly how the guy walked after putting a slug in his own chest.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I was gonna say you should put a CW, but you did start the sentence with "I once saw a liveleak video" so...

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

asshole closed down a road and made me walk 4 miles to work today.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Were you feeling vigorous? Did you do it in tiny, uneasy steps to assert your dominance and right to rule?

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Pictured: a helicopter

The projection of 70 years of the west creating media that depicts non western leaders as dictators followed by a school of yes men

Walking like he's been having mini strokes.

They'll wheel out a folding screen one of these days when Biden collapses on the south lawn.

that's MY PRESIDENT walking like he's holding in a big sloppy poo

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

The President is vigorous. He’s beastly. Very virile, and dominant. I would let Mr. Biden have sex with my wife

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

He looks like he's walking like a robot. Also, it really says a lot when you're lauding someone for being able to walk. I'm curious as to what his default energy is now.
