Not really shocked by anything anymore, but watching right-wing media people continue to insist that Biden was checking his watch (and doing so repeatedly) during the ceremony the other day... They know this isn't true, but they're trying to cement the narrative.

I used to think, "Oh, but there's video that disproves their narrative" would put an end to stuff like that, but after the past several years of watching them successfully do this same thing over and over... I am no longer under that impression.

At first they tried to argue that he skipped it... before it had even happened...

Fact check: Bidens attended dignified transfer of 13 fallen service members
Both President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden attended the dignified transfer of 13 service members killed in a suicide bombing in Kabul Aug. 26.

1. They're drooling for any angle to attack him, or any Dem President, because

they know Donnie Dumbass (who had ZERO sons serving in the military) had nothing but contempt for servicemembers and called them suckers and losers. Ignore it.

2. The other RW outrage is the banning of the dead marines mom from Instagram

She posted this anti Biden rant about how he’s going to burn in hell and that America hates him. She also considers trump “her president”

I really hope Biden’s security is increased. There are a lot of RWNJS out there.

3. US President looks at his watch and this is a crisis?

This is all they can think of?

Even if true, who knows what emergency may be in process and he has to get back to the WH for some reason.

7. Obama and the Marine holding an umbrella, Obama and his auto-salute

forgetting he had a coffee cup in hand. Always trying to gin up outrage over meaningless moments.

9. Sociopaths typically do this with opponents. Blow up benign events into major drama.

It serves to deflect from their own serious wrong doing, and creates confusion.
People don't know who to believe or who is the bad guy.

But the nature of the silly and minor accusations is good news for Biden.
It means they don't have anything on him.

4. Remember when Biden skipped the World War I Centenary observance because it was raining? Outrageous!

Oh wait; that was Donald J. Trump who wouldn't come out of his hotel room to join the other leaders of the allied nations to pay their respects to those who died in World War I. He did make time later to call them suckers and losers, but he couldn't be bothered otherwise.

5. If their lips are moving, or fingers typing, they are lying

6. As Mentioned

First they tried to run with the claim that he wasn't even there, then when that made them look STUPID, they switched to other false claims that are also debunked by video, which makes them look STOOPID.

8. "... for appearing to look at his watch ..."

So, he's not really being slammed for looking at his watch, but because some people thought he appeared to look at his watch. Hard to deny that someone thought you appeared to look at your watch.

10. And their getting help by the parents of the fallen

Their own parents are using their deaths create partisan attacks…I came across a post from one of the parents a lady who was talking about Biden stealing and cheating in the election and that he isn’t the real president and her president is trump…I guess Hannity had two dads on his show to complain about the watch thing….but what they do is put some truth into it because they said Biden mentioned his son Beau which is probably true, only to then lie about other things
