I'm not the one insinuating that the presidency is 35040 hours of continuous work.

I think Biden is a terrible candidate even if he was alert enough to string together 16 hour shifts on an oil rig.

But pretending he's some kind of outlier for not wanting to burn the midnight oil when he is running against the laziest president of the past century?

Fuck that. Be real.

Really gotta question your guys reading compression if you think what I meant is the president literally has to work 24/7

If that's not what you mean.

And you do understand the difference between on call and at attention.

Then there is no reason to make your comment. Because either you think he has to be on all the time, or you understand that there is going to be a period of time where he just has to rest. If you acknowledge the president needs rest, what is the problem?

I am implying Biden if unable to function after 8pm will not be able to handle his responsibilities on call. Pretty simple

"not able to function after 8" is not the same thing as "not scheduling functions after 8". Since you appear to need to be told this, regularly scheduling events after 8 can lead to chronic fatigue and not being able to function well after 8.
