Internet Raging: McCarthy Implies Biden Isn’t Mentally Fit, Then Praises Trump for Not Needing Much Sleep

By

For the time being, Kevin McCarthy is the new Donald Trump, at least the one in office. He is the most dangerous MAGA politician in America because he is the highest-ranking Republican willing to parrot every single Trump-MAGA-FOX talking point, including Qanon level lies. When we say willing to parrot Trump’s talking points, we point to this:

“At no time, having known Joe Biden for some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump. Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep 5 hours and he would be engaged. If you called Donald Trump, he’d get on the phone before staff would.”

Maybe because Trump was paranoid about what his staff might say? Maybe Trump was paranoid he’d miss a call from someone who just “learned something.” Maybe Trump was just paranoid. We will deal with his issue with Biden below but first talk Trump and sleep.

We are a far more responsible media organization than FOX News so we are not going to say that Adderall played a major role in Trump’s “energy” because even though it’s an extremely strong rumor, it is not a reported fact. (Not for nothing but chronic stimulant abuse is also strongly associated with paranoia. Trump’s paranoia was on display near every day. No rumors needed.) Without regard to any rumor, McCarthy just admitted that Trump was not healthy during his term as president. Of course, the obese, lazy, COVID-filled, KFC-eating, “No schedule before 11:00 a.m.” man was not healthy and sleep deprivation is just more proof.

Some people need less sleep than others. But according to SleepFoundation.org, neurologists say that people 65 and older should get 7-8 hours of sleep per night to be in top mental health and fitness. Let’s rule out chemicals for now. Trump could say “But I didn’t need it, I’d wake up,” and a doctor might recommend things like… oh, exercise. Additionally, Trump’s idea of “need” could be warped because he doesn’t know whether restful sleep would have led to fewer sentences run through the meat slicer or at least some greater degree of discipline in firing off the tweets that got him in the most trouble, or he might have even made one decent decision. Who knows?

But the sleep thing – which was not a compliment – was less an issue than what McCarthy said about Biden, which Hannity served up on a platter. (Biden complimented the Republicans at the meeting). McCarthy went full Qanon, FOX News. He implied that Biden is mentally unfit:

“I kinda see Joe as a little bit out of it, well, a little bit more than out of it, a little checked out. And I’m concerned that I am not the only one that sees it. As a matter of fact, everybody I talk to says they see it.”

Fck you, “Kevin.”

Bullsh*t. Everybody that McCarthy talks to has bought in on the MAGA lie and is following orders from Magaritaville. It is the “concern” word that is most pernicious. Kevin is “concerned about” two things; One, the raving lunatic that Kevin services might bury him before he becomes Speaker of the House. And two, Biden’s overwhelming popularity and approval ratings.

We don’t doubt that Biden isn’t as spry as he was when he was younger, and may have trouble remembering some details – that’s called aging. But most people who age gain the type of wisdom that more than makes up for any loss in “quick thinking” and total recall. If Biden is so “checked out” why is the GOP scrambling to keep up with all the new programs coming out of the White House?

We don’t recall Biden struggling to work Trump over in the debates, nor do we recall seeing a guy “checked out” during his hour-long speech to the American people a few weeks back. We only see a guy desperately feeding a universe of false-facts, Russian propaganda.

Kevin put Twitter into a rage:

Peace, y’all
