warrior” is likely to sink Biden. No one likes a mean, angry old man. Part of that is because he is, of necessity, TOTALLY hopped up on meth. But his handlers have little choice on THAT…
Joe Biden—or at least the Joe Biden the public is allowed to see these days—is angry. He sounds like he wants to fight Trump. He yells at the young men at Morehouse on one of the most joyful and special days of their lives. He’s rough and gruff and thoroughly displeased with everyone and everything. And if he’s not careful, it’s going to cost him the election.
You half expect him to shout, “And get off my lawn!”
To be clear, Joe Biden has always been a bully. Whether attacking reporters for not being as smart as he claims he is; stopping just short of calling a campaign-stop questioner a “fat a**,” or trying to intimidate Clarence Thomas (of all people) on the intricacies of Natural Law, Biden has long tried to browbeat those with whom he has a problem. He has never been an especially gentle politician.
… One senses that those campaign directors have been backed into a corner here. For whatever reason—most likely his age and his diminishing mental acuity—Joe Biden seems to be most coherent when he’s irritated. When he’s calm, he mumbles and slurs his words. When he’s jovial, he seems kind of creepy or, at the very least, just a little bit “off.” But when he’s angry, he’s different. Sure, he yells rather than speaks. And sure, it’s not easy to get him riled up all the time, but then, as Donald Rumsfeld keenly noted, you go to war with the army you have. What choice do they have but to have him be ticked off all the time?
And one thing this article doesn’t mention–the meth. We KNOW scientifically that meth is very much associated with anger and irritability.
Remember how Joe reacted to a challenge several years ago:
He yells at the worker, saying, “I don’t work for you!” It was bad. And maybe meth-aided.
After a brief exchange about the topic, the 2020 presidential candidate told the man, “You’re full of shit.”
So it’s no surprise that Joe is often irritable and angry–his handlers too often have him on meth. And I’m really not sure they can avoid that now.
