As if Biden would have a wireless receiver, or even the necessary buses to hardwire one in post-hoc. My mans is old is what I’m saying.

Checks… Yes, he’s still on the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

I daresay that committee is insufficiently select.

Senate decorum blah blah blah. The only appropriate response: “I’m sorry Senator, but are you insane?”

Time to reread Interface by Stephen Bury (Neal Stephenson & J Frederic George).
Chip implanted in presidential candidate’s brain, not directly controlled but influenced by dials set by a focus group.

For reference the senator is probably referring to things like this. Which really, looks to me like a technical glitch or a staffer hitting the wrong button.
Of course the senator was so fixated on the suggestion that Biden’s communications were being directly managed that he forgot to clearly explain what he was talking about.

This stuff is all over the right-wing media, even the relatively “sane” outlets like Fox News, the Daily Mail, the NY Post (sane relative to OANN and similar). So Risch’s audience (the MAGA base) knows exactly what he’s talking about.

Wait, what? The right thinks Biden is being wirelessly controlled? He’s a literal - not figurative - but a LITERAL puppet? Is that what they are claiming???
I… have no further words. What the fuck do we even SAY to that level of gas lighting bullshit??? Holy… just… fuck…

no, not literal. the claim is that Biden is being ‘cut off’ early as to not gaffe or show anger towards reporters when he goes off script.

This is the equivalent of sharing those inane social media posts that say Bill Gates will give a quarter for every forward. “I mean, it’s probably not true, but what if it is and we didn’t do anything?”
