      Look at pictures of Joe Biden when he was younger.
      On Google image look for pictures that are he's looking left or right.
      Now look at pictures around 2022 including up to last night's debate

      Does make me wonder because there has been some weird looking closeups of his ears. It’s hard to positively decide it is him though, because he’s always still behaving like cringe senile Joe Biden. You’d think if they relaxed him he wouldn’t be senile, and you’d think if they were using a double when get gets too senile or can’t come out that day, you’d assume they’d do average barely competent Biden rather than make any clipable senile moments.
      So…. I don’t know… yet surely we’ve seen some of these being used.

    Living in LA for 5 years, it's worth pointing out that the big-wigs of Hollywood have every sort of connection possible. Their most interesting connection is with the local taxi and Uber services. Actors and actresses (on a very regular basis) meet with expert make-up artists who disguise them so they can go out and about around town without being noticed at all. The only people who are aware of them are those who are driving them around town.....often times in 'clunkers' that could actually out-perform your $500k sports car (if it had to). Those were the good times.
