Has Biden had tonnes of botox?

He has absolutely no facial expressions whatsoever - totally frozen!

Why doesn't his face move?

Hrm.... I know "nothing" about you, yet you "know" enough to start a thread about Botox and Parkinson's, ignoring the actual importance of a world leaders speech?

Bless your heart.

I didn't start a thread about Parkinsons.

Learn to read. You are incredibly tedious and unwelcome having a go at anyone with your own agenda. Go over to the other threads talking about war if that's what you prefer. No-one want to converse with you.

Good night. Get some rest, you sound like you need it.

@CallieRedux I hope you are not part of the U.S. diplomatic service or maybe you are and that is why your country is involved in so many wars

Sorry, still bailing y'all out. :)

Well you clicked on my botox title to get here @CallieRedux

Why are you clicking on shallow thread titles and not focusing your giant confused brain on higher planes of thought?

Rhetorical question, no need to answer.

You need to work on that judgmental attitude of your. It's attitudes like that which drive conflict. But then you'd know that wouldn't you with your huge knowledge of world conflict and blind following of political rhetoric.

Honey, you'd do far better sticking to shallow, than trying to regurgitate words from previous posts to sound smart. You don't.

I saw "Biden" in the title, so took a look.

Thread full of shallow, biased, nonsense - so I responded.

I don't "worship" Biden, I'm just VERY aware that in the two-party system we have in the US, he's the only way we don't have fascism. That's not even a LITTLE hyperbolic and if the US falls to fascists, y'all are doomed as well.

ZERO PATIENCE for even stupid/unimportant opinions about Biden that foster and encourage others. Women are losing rights BY THE DAY, under Trump appointed judges.

The threat IS REAL.
Pick on Botox reality TV people who signed up for that - instead of a public service career guy who RETIRED after being VP, then was moved to run again ONLY after trump won, because he was actually worried about he country.

He's NOT my dream President, but he brought the country back from the trump abyss, and his record is actually MORE effective than Truman's New Deal, so... yeah.

Don't "adore".

RESPECT.

I can't resist pointing out that that's quite a judgemental attitude there.

He was pretty animated when he was in his 40's.

Well he''s not in his 40s any more, is he?

ScandiNoirNuit · 10/10/2023 22:44

I was wondering the same thing. His speech lacked any expression, facial or tonal which made it seem robotic and completely lacking in empathy. That is almost the equivalent of having plastic surgery that impacts being able to do your job!

The speech wasn't intended as entertainment.

Farmageddon · 11/10/2023 07:52

Sorry OP, your thread seems to have been hijacked by extremists... my advice is to ignore and carry on. They run out of steam eventually.

Anyway, it's pretty clear from old photos he has at least had blepharoplasty around his eyes, as he had rather prominent eye bags in his middle age that have miraculously disappeared.

As for what else he's had, who knows, I would guess some sort of botox but it could be lots of things.

MumUndone · 11/10/2023 07:54

@CallieRedux read the room! Start your own thread if you want to discuss American politics. Not every thread needs to be high brow, y'all.

Obviously not entertainment 🙄, but the way it is delivered makes a difference when it is televised.

Big contrast to Obama who was lauded as a great orator, he had great communication skills. I don’t think it is facile to point out that a lack of facial expression (potentially from Botox) is impacting the way the American President is perceived when making a speech in the world stage.

FFS, give it a rest! There are dozens of threads about politics, this one is about botox.

OP you might have been better posting this in Style and Beauty.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 11/10/2023 16:24

Ridiculous.

You might want to find out why you so desperately need to hector everyone.

it will help you feel better.

He might be afraid of his false teeth shooting out if he exprrsses too much emotion.

ThisUsernameIsNotAvailablePlsTryAnother · 11/10/2023 17:11

Jesus, I just read through this and Callie, you could not sound more pompous if you tried.

Piss off and let people talk about what they want to talk about. Start your own thread if you like and stop trying to enforce your divisive black and white way of thinking on everyone else.

endofthelinefinally · 11/10/2023 19:45

Anybody using the expression Y'all makes me back away, slowly and warily.
There are many threads discussing the appalling events of recent days. I don't think the OP intended this to be one of those.
