Thanks for that Frank - I am now thoroughly reassured about the character, motivations and integrity of the people who are controlling things - or, at least, the people who are reading the scripts emanating from those controlling things.

I am not the first person spontaneously to notice that there is something 'CGI' about these vids of the 'President'- it is very difficult, perhaps impossible, to do this perfectly, especially the mouth movements - and this hasn't been done perfectly.

What is weirdly self-destructive (or Sorathic) is that if you are going to have a (more-pr-less) simulacrum president (as precognitively described in some 1960s novels by Philip K Dick) it would surely make sense to make one that had authority and inspired confidence rather than a pitiful shell?

Apparently not...

I saw that 'next-generation' CGI look right away too. If that's what it is, I hope it's made available to the Disney-Lucasfilm people so that they can go back to "Rogue One" and make Peter Cushing look more lifelike.

My goodness, they've really outdone themselves here! I could swear Mike Judge is scripting these things.

I like how they cover all the bases, so every demographic has someone they can relate to. For those put off by Elagabalus in the beginning, we also have the manly men of "Brave Wilderness" (sounds about as legit as "Music Band"!) assuring us that being afraid of the peck is just as irrational as being afraid of grizzly bears.

My grandmother told me to not trust any man who loved cats. I'd like to add to her wisdom to not not trust any well manicured man.

I watch these videos from our betters and I can't help feeling these people have a totally different genetic makeup to the rest of the population there's definitely something other about them.

It's like the soul's been caved in and scooped out, but the body's been artificially re-inflated.

It's clearly ridiculous, how amateurish and theatrically the candidates ask their contrived questions, pretending that what they get for an answer would be substantial and serious information and not obviously trivial nonsense slogans nobody should really take at face value.

Biden and Fauci probably have no idea to whom their scripted lines are addressed. Every participant's questions and answers could have been recorded separately and edited into a 'town hall'. The filmmakers forget that a shot of the President with slow side-tracking doesn't exactly look unscripted; ditto the shots with a deliberate obstacle at screen left or right.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s almost as though, that which animates them, is not them.
I first noticed this phenomenon with George bush the younger. Deeply inscrutable, malevolent goat eyes, concealing yet revealing, an intricate, calculating mind, with a comically absurd exterior that was somehow not in sync with the interior, but appeared to be a puppet.
The animation was somehow off. Can’t quite grasp it.

Biden reminds me of Dubya. A lot.

@ WMJ. Striking similarities. Very strange phenomenon.
Worth keeping an eye out for. Probably more to come.

I couldn't even press "play" based on the thumbnail alone.

I recently ended a period of abstinence from unnecessary internet (and I already don't watch TV). Though I experienced what could be roughly characterized "withdrawal" (especially considering I had little/no community outside social media), returning to the internet feels like a recovering heroin addict realizing that his tolerance wasn't what it used to be.
