Maybe the House minority leader could use a few more zzzzzs to clear his head.

By Mary Papenfuss

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) likely shocked typical humans Friday when he dinged President Joe Biden for apparently requiring at least five hours of sleep a night.

McCarthy was attempting to make a point about Biden’s energy compared to Donald Trump’s as he scoffed about sleep requirements.

It’s not known how many hours a night Biden sleeps. But adults typically require seven to nine hours a night, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“At no time, having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump,” McCarthy told Sean Hannity on Fox News. “Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep five hours a night.”

1. How many nights did he and trump spend together?

He seems to know some pretty specific information

[Guilded Lilly]

2. When is this ass kissing, suck up (and his fellow Republican morons) EVER...

going to focus on doing ANYTHING for the American people?
They care nothing for actually doing their jobs.
NOTHING.

[madaboutharry]

3. McCarthy is a very stupid man.

It amazes me how these incredibly stupid people get so far in the Republican Party.

[Major Nikon]

26. You're talking about people who manufacture their own reality

It’s not just the leadership, it’s the entire constituency. They believe in complete bullshit like Q, the Big Lie™, and a superhuman who can’t walk a gentle incline without a spotter.

[PatSeg]

30. I know, he really has always come

across as an idiot and for some reason the dumber you are in the republican party, the farther up the ladder you go.............OR you can be relatively intelligent, but extremely corrupt and immoral to succeed as well. Very strange set of qualifications. Maybe republicans' corporate overlords like them dumb and dishonest?

I guess on the upside, republicans are having a hard time finding negative things to say about President Biden, so they have to resort to the trivial, petty crap. Meanwhile, I hope Biden is getting at least five hours sleep a night.

[Midnight Writer]

4. Joe doesn't have little rocks spewing from his nose.

[Haggard Celine]

10. That's it!

[Lemon Lyman]

5. JFC

I know how much PJB sleeps, nor do I know how much tangeranus slept. I do know Joe doesn't need 8 hours a day of r&r to watch tv and tweet though.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. People who don't get enough sleep

on an ongoing basis, often wind up psychotic. And not in good health.

I honestly think that a very important reason I am as phenomenally and annoyingly in as good health as I am is that most of my life I've gotten plenty of sleep.

These days I'm retired, and I go to bed when I feel like and wake up when I do. It seems to work out anywhere from 6 to 9 hours a sleep. More to the point, I don't get out of bed until I'm good and ready.

[ShazzieB]

7. I don't know how many hours Joe Biden sleeps at night.

But I do know one thing he can do that McCarthy can't: open his mouth without an avalanche of lies tumbling out.

[SergeStorms]

8. Biden has more done by noon....

than His Assholiness did in an entire day. Joe doesn't require 4 hours of "executive time" every day, either.

One time I figured out how much "work" Dumpf did in one day from his official White House schedule . It came to a little over 3 hours. Like I said, Biden does more before noon every day, than Dumpf did in an entire day.

So fuck you, McCarthy. If I ever need to know what the inside of Dumpf's colon looks like, I'll be sure to ask you. You'd most certainly have a detailed description of that for me. 💩

[AZ8theist]

22. I contend Joe did more in 100 days than the Treasonous Pig did in 4 years....

[ck4829]

9. Maybe the whole meth head act is one of the reasons why Trump lost, no?

[Grokenstein]

11. The last dying embers of the "Sleepy Joe" nonsense.

The increasingly rare occasions when Generalissimo Corpulente exhibited ANY energy can be attributed to the same thing that gave him those endless sniff-sniff-sniffles.

Any intelligent human understands that "awake" and "aware" are different words for a reason, and that there's no connection between "being conscious" and "being productive." But these pathetic sycophants still groveling at Dim Don's smelly feet are desperate to convince anyone that he's fit, ready to fight, and prepared to rush right in there and take out the shooter. They keep tweeting that clip of him bobbing in place, smiling giddily because he's had a fresh snootful of toot from Junior's stash, but people see: Biden is working while Former #1 Russian Asset is doing nothing but whining about this embarrassing loss months ago.

[mwooldri]

12. We don't know how much Adderall Trump consumes.

As far as I know, people on Adderall tend to sleep less. Take too much, one ain't sleeping. And that's not good.

[Rebl2]

31. That was

my thought. He takes adderall, so likely sleeps less. People who don’t get much sleep also have greater chance of dementia.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Donald Trump 'starts his working day at 11am - later than at beginning of presidency'

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-working-day-start-time-11am-us-president-beginning-george-w-bush-barack-obama-a8147366.html

Former President George W Bush usually arrived at the Oval Office by 6.45am, while Barack Obama preferred to work out and got to the office between 9am and 10am.

Mr Trump's days are also shorter than during the early days of his administration, Axios reports, and finish around 6pm when he returns to his residence. Schedules released to the press show Mr Trump's last meeting of the day has routinely begun between 1 and 4pm.

[twodogsbarking]

14. I've slept five hours and then

retired for the evening.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Trump has all the brainpower of a sleep-deprived moron

It shows.

[Maxheader]

16. Worthless bastard...

Screwball, ..Didn't he call stumpy about people trying to break in to

his office.? Asked the yellow haired freak , "just who do you think you are?"

[gab13by13]

17. Why is this a thread?

It's stupid. What happened to the 2 members of the FEC who failed to vote to pursue an investigation into "individual 1?"

I don't do grocery store check out magazines.

[oasis]

18. Trump should sleep even less if he dreams up shit like curing covid with bleach.

[COL Mustard]

19. Ah, The Sleepy Joe Trope Again

I'll take Biden over T***p any damn time, even if he DID need to sleep 20 hours a day. I'm so tired of this crap. I hope if I live to be 78 that I have as much energy and am as mentally alert as Joe is!

[MissMillie]

25. President Biden would get more accomplished in 4 hours

than The Orange One could in a month.

Tweeting out verbal sewerage doesn't count as a Presidential accomplishment.

[Delarage]

20. Next up

He'll say that Trump's penis is much, much longer and firmer than he imagine's Joe's to be.

[twodogsbarking]

27. I knew a great guy years ago they called

Root. Women knew of him.

[MissMillie]

23. One performs better (on all levels) when they get proper sleep

Though I don't think it would have helped The Orange One. He doesn't perform well because he's a miserable human being.

[raccoon]

24. Stay classy, McCarthy. :sarcasm: nt

[machoneman]

32. Proving the theory that R's only offer performance art these days and skip the hard stuff....

of legislating. MTG and MCarthy are joined at the hip in offering smart-assed comments backed by nothing. It is amazing though that the leader of the House minority R's has stooped this low with cat-calls against a sitting president.

I do hope Psaki calls out MCarthy for living in a lobbyist's home and paying minimal rent. Maybe she can ask the press to determine if he and his landlord slept together? Hey, fight fire with fire but have others convey their criticisms from Joe in a indirect condemnations of his foolishness.

[area51]

28. When I saw the headline, I thought it was Borowitz.

I thought Donnie didn't roll into the office until around noon each day.

[George II]

29. McCarthy's guy needs 5 hours on the toilet every morning.

[Warpy]

33. Uh, Kevviepoo?

[niyad]

34. Hey, kev, you smarmy, sycophantic, suck-up! I only sleep three hours a night, but then, I am NOT

the leader of the free world, dealing with major crises hourly. Still, it takes a LOT of time to stick pins in all my pubbie poppets. (My sewing shop keeps wondering why I order pins by the thousands!) Pity that HAARP is not real, and could be calibrated suitably. Would save my wrists!

[Stuart G]

35. Kevin McCarthy just proved how stupid he really is..."VERY, VERY, STUPID"

...Commenting on "sleep" is like an apple commenting to a pea about the necessity of being "red."

[KPN]

36. These fuckers are such little people. What the hell is wrong with them? The whole frigging GOP is

nothing more than a bunch of cowardly, insecure bullies. We need to just destroy them at the polls in 2022 and 2024, 2026, 2028 and so on ... just help the on-going natural extirpation (evolution's natural selection process) of their party along.
