We cats saw stirrings of some kind of New York Times hit piece (at least, we assumed it was a hit piece) about Joe Biden's style as President. We immediately assumed Maggie Haberman had a byline on it. Okay, we were wrong. Apologies to Haberman, who's probably too busy working on her book about Trump (and continuing to curry favor with traitors, fiends and insurrectionists).
But the article-not-by-Maggie-Haberman was still kind of a head-scratcher. Joe Biden, it seems, grills his aides for minute details on issues before he makes decisions. If they try to skate by via generalities and assumptions, he grows impatient and sends them off to do their homework. He asks granular questions about how his policies will affect working-class Americans, the kind of folks he grew up with in Pennsylvania. (Luckily for his climate-change team, they were able to readily answer them.) Sometimes he calls aides at 10:30 or 11 at night, asking for more information to get ready for his meetings the next day.
OMG, we're doomed! The President is a careful, deliberative, thoughtful, caring person!!!
Say no more: If it was meant to sow concern, the Times piece is ridiculous. If it wasn't meant to do that, we don't know what the point of it was. Unless the reporters were simply dying to get into print the fact that Biden has a Venmo account. (He uses it to send money to his grandchildren for ice cream, a Biden passion. So at least, this is one case where "ice cream" really means ice cream.)
None of this would be a story if the country hadn't lived under a narcissistic psychopath for four years. We cats HISS.
