Kevin McCarthy Attacks Joe Biden For Sleeping At Night

https://www.politicususa.com/2021/05/15/kevin-mccarthy-biden-sleep.html

"SNIP.....

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy complained that President Biden doesn’t have Trump’s energy, because he sleeps at night.

Video:

McCarthy talked about meeting Biden, “He was with it, and he was engaging, and he was giving numbers, and he was talking, but at no time having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump. We both know it. Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep five hours a night, and he would be engaged. If you called Donald Trump, he’d get on the phone before staff would.”

The fact that Trump was getting on the phone before staff would was a problem. The reason was the government was dysfunctional and failing was because Trump didn’t know what he was doing, didn’t care about governing, and wouldn’t delegate.

......SNIP"

Were you in Trump’s bedroom with him?

If not, you don’t know how long he sleeps. He’s a liar. If he says he sleeps 4 or 5 hours a night, it’s because he thinks that would make him look good. There is no good reason to believe that’s a true statement.

And there is no good reason to think that a 74- year-old operating on 5 hours sleep is competent to do a job as demanding as his former job, especially when he started out as a fucking idiot. But you’re buying the absurdity. Good luck to you.

The Former Guy didn't sleep 4 or 5 hours a night because he had a lot of energy. If anything, it was because as a lifelong substance abuser, he was UNABLE to sleep more than that, if at all, without medication.

I can't believe they are spinning TFG's Adderall/amphetamine/coke addiction as a sign of an "energetic" POTUS. What a joke. Our side needs to start calling out this bullshit and setting things straight.

ADULTING IS HARD....

Get over it Kevin.

ADULTS go to sleep to behave in a responsible and reasonable manner when they wake and to have all their wits about them in case someone needs them to think for themselves.


We understand that with your head up tRump's rump you were NOT allowed to think for yourself, but you made your choice when you took brown nosing to the ultimate extreme and THAT is on you.... as well as a lot of decidedly nasty excrement.

Ya' can't blame others because you are a shit show now, Kevin.

Pull your own head out before trying to look at other people and call them on their behavior.


Your VIEW is SKEWED.

My mom would be up all night, and take a couple of naps during the day when she started to develop Alzheimer's.
