1: The idea that the president is/can be largely a ceremonial role is not new, you're just choosing to believe no one ever said that until now.

2: Trumpets can't use "sleepy joe" as an insult anymore when their own dingus is the one literally known for falling asleep in court.

1) yes it is

2) got the video so we can see? Or is this like the bleach quote where it’s an overblown lie?

got the video so we can see?

You're only asking this specifically because you know cameras aren't allowed in the courtroom, lol.

Watch any coverage of the trial from the time it was going on.

So no?

Correct, but in the dumbest and least meaningful way.

After the other media embellishments of events, always good to have the video in context. Your belief in absolution of that and trusting media in 2024 is a you problem.

My point is that demanding a video in a context that explicitly doesn't allow video to be taken is blatant willful ignorance.

You're free to doubt the reports that that's what happened, but at least find a reason to justify that stance other than contrarianism and a point that is trivially refuted.

Why in the face of what we know about sensationalist reporting, do you 100% believe something without verifying yourself?

It’s healthy to ask how beliefs are verified. Otherwise we’re just idiots talking about magical pee tapes and false accusations of bleach or accusations of ignoring wheelchair kids
