In keeping with their Joe-Biden-is-so-old-OMG-he's-too-old-how-can-he-possibly-run-again-when-he's-so-old mindset — the better to goose ratings with, of course, which is all they care about — the news media talking heads have been breathlessly chattering away the last couple of days about whether the President has gotten any sleep. And boy, they say — he must really need it!
We heard the prattling ourselves last night, when we watched live coverage of Biden's arrival in Warsaw after his arduous trek to Kyiv. "Bet he can't wait to get to the hotel!" they bleated. But the visuals said otherwise: Biden was lingering on the tarmac, chatting up his Ambassador and all the other folks who'd turned out to greet him. In short, it was journalists embarrassing themselves, as usual.
Well, Biden gave a pretty long and important speech in Warsaw today, but even after that, he got on the phone. Why? That train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio, that the Trumpsters have desperately been trying to blame him for. He called worthless GOP Governor Mike DeWine, Senator Sherrod Brown, EPA Administrator Michael Regan, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Representative Bill Johnson, to assess progress on the cleanup. Then he tweeted a long update of everything the government is doing — and has been doing since the crisis began.
The best part? He took a well-deserved shot at the Republicans in the thread. "For years, elected officials — including the last administration — have limited our ability to implement and strengthen rail safety measures," he said. "Heck, many of the elected officials pointing fingers right now want to dismantle the EPA — the agency that is making sure this cleanup happens."
Note to the POTUS doubters: Don't worry about Joe Biden's age or how much sleep he's getting. He tolerates no malarkey, and he looooves this stuff. It is his Dark Brandon super power. We cats PURR.
