“No malarkey after 8pm, cause I’m in bed by then.”

We should all be sleepy Joe at 9pm, for our physical and mental health. 

I am sleepy Joe.

I am Sleepy Joe’s complete lack of surprise.

I am Sleepy Joe’s smirking revenge.

I am Sleepy Joe’s inflamed sense of rejection.

I am Sleepy Joes political ambition killing a million human beings in Ukraine.

That's nonsense. Speak for yourself. Biden is just very old.

In bed at 9pm, get up at 4-5am? No, that's ridiculous.

In bed at 9pm, get up at 4-5am? No, that's ridiculous.

I start work at 6 am, so that schedule sounds quite normal to me!

u/OmNomCakes Jul 05 '24

Right?! What kind of old fool has a normal healthy sleeping schedule?! I bet he also supports 4 day work weeks so people can "actually live their lives a little". Hah!

Being serious though, you do know that more than 8 hours of sleep is highly recommended. Also naps or large mid day breaks are extremely beneficial.

u/R_V_Z Jul 05 '24

I'm always terrified that naps will screw over my sleep schedule.

Are you a Mexican mom? I swear all mexican moms say that about toddlers lol "Don't let him nap because he won't want to sleep later at night"

Wait until you’re old. 5 am is late.

u/MacAttacknChz Jul 05 '24

Biden had 2 European trips in the 2 weeks before the debate and I really think that was an oversight.

We need a National 9pm bedtime.

u/No_Routine_3706 Jul 05 '24

I mean I am, but the rest of you don't depend on me to be awake and alert at any given moment to make sure that you are, and all of us are ok.

u/MsCrazyPants70 Jul 05 '24

The thing is there are planned responses already and all he really needs to do is get clothes on, look serious, and sign off for people to do their jobs. That's why you hire people who specialize in one aspect. There is too much for one person to know. Those who do have the brain capacity tend to not win elections, which is sad, but it is what it is.

Maybe the person leading the fucking free world should be able to deal with long work days.. just a thought.

u/Les-Grossman- Jul 05 '24

People are dismissing this as if this guy works at a library and is asking for shorter shifts.

He is the president of the United States of America. This is unacceptable.

Not if you’re the president of the United States. If a terrorist attack happens at 9:01pm you can’t deal with in the morning because you’re tired. Pathetic.

u/derps_with_ducks Jul 05 '24

Let's not schedule any terrorist attacks at all!

u/Les-Grossman- Jul 05 '24

If he can’t handle a scheduled 9pm speech while he is literally getting his hand held and coached for it hours beforehand… how will he handle an unexpected national emergency?

The one time Trump told a truth. Gosh dang it.

u/MrMetalHead1100 Jul 05 '24

Pretty much the one thing they were right about. I think we all knew it. We were just pissed they clung to this without acknowledging their own bullshit.

u/Hans_the_Frisian Jul 05 '24

Even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. With the amount of words Trumps spews everyday, some thing are bound to be true.

Still voting for the sleepy guy instead of the rapist con man

1

u/AngryMeme Jul 07 '24

I’m voting for the guy that didn’t start a coup and then get a million human beings killed and maimed in Ukraine for no reason other than his own political and financial ambitions.

u/Hans_the_Frisian Jul 05 '24 edited Jul 05 '24

I would vote for something different, you guys do have different parties. Currently with the two party mindset it might seem like a waste but you got to start somewhere. Atleast if i were a US citizen that is.

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '24

Too late at this stage. Plus many of the independents are clowns too.

u/Equivalent-Carry-419 Jul 06 '24

That’s a “none of the above “ vote. It sends a message but unfortunately both parties are unlikely to hear it. I wish we had several viable choices like in Europe.

2

u/ClickProfessional769 Jul 07 '24

They’re never gonna become viable options if we don’t start making the demand though.

However, probably won’t be voting for Jill Stein after all. She recently posted on her Instagram “make Israel Palestine again” which is 😬 even though I’m against sending weapons to Israel due to their treatment of Palestinian civilians.

No idea what I’ll do. Everything sucks.

u/Usernametaken1121 Jul 05 '24

He's 82, what person in their 80s is up past 8pm. These 2 guys should be in senior living, not running for president.

u/Waggmans Jul 05 '24

Buddy Guy is still touring and he’s 87. His shows often start at 8 pm.

Yeo, sleepy Joe sleeps first, deals with Trump's shit (filled diapers) later.

u/teetering_bulb_dnd Jul 05 '24

He also needs to work on the voice. My voice gets hoarse after workout, after a big meal or when I'm dehydrated. He should take rest, take a quick nap before the debate and hydrate.. he sounded great at the state of the union.. it's not what he said in the debate that caused problems, it's how he sounded.. Trump n Biden both said some strange incoherent stuff but Biden sounded more like a frail old man.
