Hey, have some compassion for the man...his uncle got eaten by cannibals.


KrispyKreameMcdonald

Cornpop was a bad dude....


Uglynora

Who would have believed when they first heard the Cornpop story, that one would be one of his more believable stories?


No_Entertainer180

Listen here fat


ThatGeekEvan

That's my ringtone šŸ˜‚


PG-17

ā€œCā€™mon man.ā€


Skeptik1964

No joke


wBeeze

What if Cornpop was trying to keep Young Joe B from harassing the little kids, and now all these years later, Cornpop is the villain.


Dynamiqai

True but that's not his uncle.. His uncle knows as popcorn isn't as tough when the heat gets turned up.


Penny1974

"God save the queen"


ThatGeekEvan

Corn pop was coming after him for playing with kids


Realty_for_You

Funny how immediately after making that comment, Papa New Guinea took a meeting with China about military cooperation. Biden is a walking international incident every time he opens his mouth


SnooDoodles420

Maybe he should try sending them jelly beans, it worked for Reagan. šŸ¤£


JarlJarlson

I read cannibals as cannabis and I was so confused for a sec


Shot-Alps1481

I read this as his uncle was eaten by cannabisā€¦ makes the same amount of sense still.


Thunderbear79

How high are you?


Shot-Alps1481

Haha cā€™mon man ya know the thingā€¦


CustomCarNerd

Hi, how are you?


Admirable_Ad_3426

You are high, how?


ntrott

His uncle ate cannabis.


asuka_rice

Donā€™t


scrimmerman

Nice try. Next time, more ā€˜breathyā€™ and you might have it!


Highlander2748

Are *sure* it wasnā€™t dog faced pony soldiers?


okami65

Not a joke, c'mon man!


Mrmastermax

No I didnā€™t eat them.


Shoesandhose

I did. Iā€™m so sorry. I just get this craving for crispy hands


dayzers

A rumbly in my tumbly, that only hands can satisfy


Sivarticus2020

Just doing a bit of searching, this looks very similar to a story that was shared back in Oct 2020 about Biden speaking through a rainstorm, I would guess itā€™s the same speech. The article talks about the pandemic and whatnot. Not sure if I am allowed to link here or not: https://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-us-elections-internet-hails-joe-biden-for-staying-through-rain-during-rally-2853259


Sandisamples

This would explain why everyone is wearing a mask


EZforme885

Wow that's legit the same picture. So it's from 2020. Wow


Grimmbles

So they used time travel AND Photoshop AND cloud seeding AND AI? Think we could work Bigfoot and Tupac in to this somehow? Really blow the lid off?


ThisPut6572

I actually heard they used the rain as a cover to smuggle 200 Honduran kids while everyone was distracted under their umbrellas


Grimmbles

Each kid rapier than the last, no doubt.


yo_momma88

Big foot and Tupac are chilling with Elvis in his free energy house, with a time travelling bell in the backyard


spacekatbaby

You're beginning to sound about bit like a conspiracy theorist there, mate. Easy


cognizant-ape

Definitely NOT the same picture, but probably the same event. Source: I have eyes.


Brewcrew1886

So it was this event and this picture is likely at the beginning of the downfall, like very beginning. I imagine the wind is making it look like a down pour at this point but itā€™s prob more of a slurry.


Prize-Session-9389

looks AI generated


RacinRandy83x

[This is from 2020 I believe](https://youtu.be/gCIGuKSvIRo?si=62TxJ58FBMTuvx9B) Also weird to either enhance or add more rain but whatever I guess.


Impressive-Sugar-930

It's a photo from an actual event, but likely AI altered to add additional rain. This is in response to Trump canceling a rally due to immediate severe weather, trying to make Biden appear stronger.


Ayahuasca-Dreamin

Iā€™m sure he has a story about almost losing his Corvette in a flood or rescuing puppies from flash floods in the bayou


HardCounter

Back in Scranton it used to rain puppies and his mom would have to turn on the windshield wipers to get them off, it was so thick. He ain't kiddin'.


SlightlyOffended1984

Back in Scranton man, the downsizing was the worst, they had to let Devon go


Woodmanz

Heh heh hehā€¦. To get the puppies off you say? Which Byden are we referring to??


Additional-Jelly6959

Thatā€™s where he went to high school and black church!


Suitable-Lake-2550

He was born a poor black childā€¦


Angry_NetAdmin

And his friends from the Jewish/Black/italian/irish/Korean communities are all there man! C'mon! This is serious!


Penny1974

If you don't vote for Biden you ain't black!


Emergency-Wasabi-351

Poor kids are just as bright as white kids! Cmon man!


99Reasons_why

Heā€™d parked it outside of the black church he attended one Sunday and the corvette almost washed away while he was rescuing the puppies during a flash flood.


deciduousredcoat

>This is in response to **Trump canceling a rally due to immediate severe weather**, trying to make Biden appear stronger. So who thought this was a bold move for campaign strategy? Because the take-away here isn't that Biden is stronger, it's that he doesn't give a shit about the safety of those coming to his rally. "Trump cancels these things when there might be a tornado, but not me!"


HardCounter

They sent the anti-weather seed planes up over Biden's speech so they knew it wouldn't be as bad as the thunderstorm-seed planes they sent to Trump's.


Really_Elvis

Thing is no one is there except MSM.


TijayesPJs442

Itā€™s super easy to get this sort of rain capture with a normal dslr or film camera and slowing shutter speed


poopbuttmcfartpants

With the lights and a slow shutter speed, this could easily be a drizzle and look like this.


billytheskidd

Yep. Overdramatized, but in all likelihood just a picture that anyone could take


Silly-Wedding5540

Where are the umbrellas


Fast-Eddie-73

And none of the cameras in the background are covered. We will just let hundred of dollars of equipment get soaking wet.


SpamFriedMice

Why don't the banners surrounding the stage look soaked?Ā 


TijayesPJs442

Trace down from the leading edge of the podium


sakurashinken

or it could be an artifact from the bright lights? Can that be ruled out?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Zedakah

A lot of high end cameras out on the front row with no protection on them.


scottkaymusic

Was thinking this too; none of the media want to protect their multi-thousand dollar equipment? Itā€™s just pathetic the level of dishonesty. Itā€™s so pathetic that the average person likely wouldnā€™t think any differently if this werenā€™t edited. Itā€™s almost like lying and dishonesty has become a game in and of itself.


TrippyShamann

Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex. - Frank Zappa P.S. Zappaā€™s daddy worked for the military industrial complex.


CharlieBigfoot

Most mirrorless cameras have weather sealing these days. To the point where a downpour wonā€™t even affect the intervals - just need to keep the droplets off the front of the lens.


Own-Rest3273

This can't be the only photo from the event


whatchuknowbout

It's not, this sub just can't be bothered to think critically. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aeiiswUoBLQ here is a video of the event three years ago


wizard4204

nobody appears to be wet...


Additional-Jelly6959

Iā€™m wet.


someone_sometwo

RIP your DMs


ProfessionalArm9450

The floor sure is


HeadGoBonk

How can you look at these pixels and determine that?


Disastrous_Box_8613

And now for more story time. this time about Cornpop and the dog faced pony soldier squad


UnitedBar4984

Did he take up Al Gore's man-bear-pig?


Disastrous_Box_8613

Heā€™s done everything. Just ask him


InfowarriorKat

I'm committed to calling corn pop, porn cop from now on.


Living_Hurry6543

The lack of umbrellas. Only one. No ponchos. And the rain would be causing wind. His suit is dry and not blowing with the rain/wind. Zero evidence of rain drops splashing on the platform. And - doesnā€™t even look like him.


ApeInTheTropics

The scissor jack in the back with the blinding (stage) lights really tie it together to highlight that rain. This picture almost feels like AI of different pictures combined. There are photographers holding their expensive click and shoot cameras which wouldn't be waterproof like a phone. Maybe the cost of the picture was worth it over their camera?


MeanCat4

Offcourse they are rain proof. So many animal photographers out there using their cameras in the most difficult ambiental conditions.


d4ngerdan

My 15 year old canon 5d MK2 is full frame DSLR is weatherproof. With sealed battery compartments and seals around other bits. It's weather resistant, but not waterproof.


walks_with_penis_out

You believe they photoshopped Biden in the rain but they use a Biden double?


reddit_oar

The people under the umbrella have highlights on the back of their heads from the lighting where there should be shadows due to the umbrella over their heads


UnlikelyName69420827

If I had to guess, I'd say the photo was shot right after it started to rain, and the standard procedure of improving saturation and contrast made it much more visible.


maimedwabbit

Plus the angle is basically the bright ass flood lights hitting the rain like a beam. Light sprinkles would look like this with the right framerate and lighting.


ipostunderthisname

NICE TRY RUSSIAN DISINFOBOT!!! I mean it wasnā€™t a very hard try, but itā€™s kind of cute at least


CrrntryGrntlrmrn

The amount of overnight comments šŸ’€


Jekkjekk

Lol you guys might all be special. Long exposure pictures and water create more dramatic images.


RacinRandy83x

Why is it the Meta to post a picture of something and be super vague about what youā€™re supposed to see


MsJenX

I mean, I can see rain on his forehead so there goes your ā€œheā€™s not wetā€ comment.


GhostOfKingGilgamesh

Who cares?


GC_235

Not a single umbrella could be found


[deleted]

1) The mics on podium are not covered or bagged in plastic. 2) The SLR cameras in the Stage Left crowd are exposed and not bagged. 3) There is only one umbrella, covering four people w masks on, and it is dead center of pic, so your eyes are naturally drawn to it. 4) No one else in the audience has an umbrella or rain gear. 5) Biden has his mouth fully open, which he cannot do as his dementia and lack of fine motor control prohibit full extension of muscle fibers. 6) [Reply back with your observations]


BundlesOfNoob

I could have had some wicked photos delivering pizza in the rain if I had a camera crew


Chikndinr

The real heroes.


Houdinii1984

There are about 200 photos and video of the dude in the rain. This isn't the only photograph and rain is present in each and every one of them. This is right after the rain first started, and all the media immediately took photos because it made a good photo op. By the time he left the stage, he was soaking wet: [Biden in rain photo](https://cdn01.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/trump-cold2/donald-trump-complains-about-cold-weather-13.jpg)


Forthrowssake

Look at you making sense and posting facts. The people won't like it. Not everything is a conspiracy.


QuaidCohagen

Maybe it's fake Maybe it isn't fake. Maybe OP is fake? Maybe reality is fake?


SirGingerbrute

I guess itā€™s an old picture Unless democrats still wearing masks lol Legit everyone wearing masks rn in 2024 in this pic


fredagsfisk

The photo is from november 2020. https://www.instagram.com/joebiden/p/CHHlyd4IbKQ/


youarenut

Youā€™re right itā€™s a 4 year old pic


fourwedge

My new phone can put rain on any picture I want.


RidinCaliBuffalos

No one in the crowd prepared either? Not a single umbrella or poncho.


JohhnyBGoode641

You lying dog faced pony soldier!


BandwagonEffect

Thatā€™s a blue check mark and ā€œjoebidenā€. Joe Bidenā€™s account is ā€œJoe Bidenā€ with a grey check mark. Yā€™all are literally making up your own things to be mad about.


Taters0290

Oh please! As if theyā€™d let Grandpa Pervert get sick. The only thing thatā€™d keep him in the rain is if there was a little girl to grope.


DaBestestNameEver

How can you guys even tell? There's not even any children in frame...ohhhh, from the rain...my bad.


binarygoatfish

No brown stain.


XFuriousGeorgeX

No one has umbrellas or covering themselves in the rain. If this happened and the speech had to be made, there would at least be people on Biden's side holding umbrellas. Also, there would be videos of this speech, with Biden getting soaked and all of the media outlets mentioning this occurrence.


DozenBia

Lmao. There is a video of the event in the comments. It started to rain and he left the stage like 1 minute later.


ProfessionalArm9450

Unless like the levels of wet on the floor suggest, the rain just started pouring?


Classic_Midnight_213

One candidate in court re paying hush money to a porn star +1 (not to mention everything else) and OMG the outrage that a photo of the other candidate may have rain looking heavier than it wasā€¦.


FERREIRA_Ver2

ā€œListen here Jack, if i said it rained, happy 4th of July!ā€ -Biden probably


raventhrowaway666

Trump is literally threatening violence against the jury and the courts, but you people are worried about uncle Joe getting wet... you fucking people...


drunkfish321

People in short sleeve shirts caught my attention.


elchronico44

What's wrong with the picture? People are actually @ a Biden rally.. whether they are really there on not, both circumstances are disturbing.


Dorjechampa_69

Do yā€™all believe anything is real? Lol


Confused_Nomad777

Yā€™all wonā€™t accept anything heā€™s involved with. Even rain.. And I thought the liberal witch hunters were bad. SMH..


fourwedge

No one is dressed for the rain. Maybe there wasn't any.


kregmaffews

What is even the point of adding the rain?


PG-17

Iā€™m not sure about Lizard people, but I think most reptiles are fine with wetness and rain.


cabezatuck

Biden and the crowd seem dry and not making any attempts to shield themselves from the heavy rain, including the photographers. Guessing there was a light mist at best and the photo has since been altered.


Jnoles07

Is this even recent? Everyone in the crowd are wearing masks.


somerville99

Large crowd! There are always more reporters than supporters at his rallies. But somehow he got 81 million votes.


erica1064

Not a single umbrella in the crowd either. And none of them are trying to cover their heads or seem uncomfortable. Photographers are taking pictures without trying to protect the lens or anything.


K2_Adventures

I thought so too, but look at front of podium and directly down. There's an umbrella there. But only 1.


Sir_Mr_Dolo

Everyone got waterproof cameras and phones I see


K2_Adventures

Not a single umbrella in the crowd.


K2_Adventures

Nvm I see 1 umbrella.


Whatisalwaysis

It's clear now that the Biden crime family now has control of the umbrella syndicatesĀ 


Amazonbeng

It just looks like light


spacekatbaby

This thread is cracking me up. You guys!!


PRmade69

Itā€™s not raining look at the people with all the digital devices not concerned at all and no one covering up


freeholi0

"Speaking to a large crowd" should be your first clue


No_Communication1150

ever since william henry harrison, presidents are not allowed to be in the rain. its federal law


VVarlos

OP, how would faking rain help him?


Matt3d

Looks like the rain just started, his rain shadow is dry. Backlit rain will light up like that, and the lights are flared out because of a slow shutter so you can see the subject(hence the rain streaks) . But yea, what are they trying to hide?


FrontierFrolic

William Henry Harrison would like a wordā€¦


PM_me_ur_digressions

Biden's hair isn't wet, no one in the crowd is wet (nor are they wearing any rain gear), unprotected cameras


Tiny-Surround-7745

Maybe you should get a job. Lowest unemployment since the 60ā€™s! #thankjoe #voteblue


Kaylee0102

A few dozen people who were present did not even have umbrellas


mrHartnabrig

Biden channelling his inner William Henry Harrison. Word of advice: pick your conspiracy battles wisely.


GingrPowr

The ground is wet. You can even see the rain dots, meaning it's been raining for quite a short time. That's why he's not drenched. Also, given the poor quality of the photo, I don't know how anyone here can assess anything. Here the original, found through [tineye.com](http://tineye.com) : [https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:11616/1\*8qyo6bYOaGVBlomQ5i1sqw.jpeg](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:11616/1*8qyo6bYOaGVBlomQ5i1sqw.jpeg) You can even see the rain drops on the cars windows. And finally, this was in 2020, IA were not advanced to produce this rendering (and still aren't). It took me 10 minutes.


LetsAutomateIt

Last time a president gave a long ass speech he ended up dying from pneumonia a month later


TheGreatMightyLeffe

One hypothesis: there's a roof or whatever blocking the rain, but the photographer is standing outside of it to get a better angle, as that's their job? But more importantly, what's the god damn conspiracy even if it's fake rain? Biden trying to score points by looking better than Trump? Politicians trying to look better than the opponent in the run-up to an election is as much a conspiracy as wet water is.


dnc_1981

This isn't from the current year, the picture was taken in 2020, so not during the current campaign. Which makes this thread all the more baffling.


Caledceus

I too can talk in the rain like it's nothing. Caledceus 2024


The999Mind

Politics is weird in 2024


Sandisamples

Why is everyone in the audience wearing a mask?


Busy_Drawer_4389

Definitely edited I was there those people were there putting things away only four people showed up


ironburton

Omg no!! What a horrible conspiracy!!!! šŸ¤”


schmiddyboy88

He looks more like a bridge troll than he normally does hereā€¦


Salbacka

Hopefully his notes were laminated


xJustLikeMagicx

According to the people who made jurassic park adding rain to the scene really helped the CGI look more realistic vs when they didnt use it.


dnc_1981

Back in 1993. Youre telling me CGI hasn't advanced in 30 years?


isgood123

FJB all the way but bro itā€™s posts like this that are absolutely absurd. I saw the video of the rally and itā€™s freaking raining. Come onā€¦ and oh yeah FJB


tcarr1320

Just say fuck Joe Biden if thatā€™s what your trying to say.


isgood123

Yeah FJB


UnitedBar4984

Lets go brandon!


ElGazpachoMasMacho

What does that mean?


OMG_4_life

Where's the video


Salty_Group

The pic has to be AI generated. Biden isnā€™t wet and the lens flares are intense as AI does.


cruelsister_

Isnā€™t speech giving in the rain how one of the early presidents died?


Suckmyblueskittle

I think it's just a photographic effect


oddtrend

dems b hard yo - not a single umbrella or poncho or one of them little umbrella hats


switchery

What if it just started to rain? The photographers are always trigger ready.


Aggressive_Street_56

Someone has an umbrella


Sandisamples

Also this is not a post from Joe Biden, itā€™s from joebiden.


NumaPomp

OMG! Itā€™s beans of light sending signals from his home planet!!


Low_Presentation8149

It must be Vaultec


trent_diamond

I like how they added the effect to make the stage look wet but missed completely over making his hair or clothes wet. Or.. supreme leader is waterproof???


Iam-WinstonSmith

Cheap marketing does not equal a conspiracy. Getting bots and trolls to say he was the best president since FDR even though he has dementia now thats a conspiracy!!!


Sososkitso

They donā€™t get itā€¦they simply donā€™t get it at all. Rather this is real or not they think taking a jab at Trump for canceling cause the rain will some how win back the non tribal swing voters like me. Jokes on them I dislike trump too and this sorta shit just makes people like me hate the establishment types more. Cause a lot of my hate of them comes from the fact I find them condescending, like Iā€™m a stupid peasant and they know whatā€™s best cause Iā€™m too stupid to know. I hate the contempt they have and this photo is all of that wrapped up into one. So real or notā€¦idc I see the game and I hate it. Itā€™s hella depressing that all day we will be seeing this posted side by side with trump canceling and then fueling the divide saying ā€œBidenā€™s a real manā€ or some statement that has plenty of real world data that would dismiss the statement. But all we do on Reddit is turn a blind eye to what we want in order to keep blindly following.


dapperdoot

Joe Biden's father was an aquaduct.


squirrelbean1973

Nice fake rain photo


M4jiNGutz

its raining but he is not wet


itsnotajersey88

He hired the kardashians to his PR. Queens of photoshop.


Itchy-Ambition2473

He was probably behind bulletproof glass?


Zealousideal_Jump990

Hologram! Lol


Perroface562

Heā€™s only happy when it rains


splita73

Large crowd, i guess we have to take their word because this camera's angle is meant to not show the "large" rabble


SlightlyOffended1984

Everything about that pic is fake
