Affable Old Joe Biden may be a disastrous president, but he’s a kindly old fellow, no? No. The picture of Biden as a friendly, amiable regular guy turns out to be just as false as the innumerable lies he has told about his background.
For over half a century now, Old Joe Biden has carefully cultivated his public image: he’s good ol’ Lunchbucket Joe, a down-to-earth man of the people, someone who fought his way up from a hardscrabble beginning to become an indefatigable servant of the common man. This portrait is not true in any detail. Biden is actually a churlish, spiteful bully; his public image is a cynical and manipulative effort to fool voters into supporting a man who has anything but their best interests at heart.
Until now, however, the establishment media has dutifully done its part to keep the public from seeing the real Joe Biden. In another sign that the Left is preparing to throw Old Joe overboard, Axios on Monday revealed that the real Joe Biden is ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, and brutal to those who have the misfortune of working for him.
Axios noted that “in public, President Biden likes to whisper to make a point. In private, he’s prone to yelling.” Old Joe isn’t just raising his voice to make a point. It’s so bad that those who work for the Figurehead-In-Chief avoid meeting with him in private: “Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast.” The meetings are a charade, anyway, since someone else is giving the real orders, so why should staffers have to endure the old man’s tirades?
“Tirades” is a polite word for what Old Joe is dishing out. “Current and former Biden aides who have witnessed and been on the receiving end of such outbursts” say that he tends to scream abuse (Axios calls them “admonitions”) on the order of “G** dammit, how the f**k don’t you know this?!,” “Don’t f**king bullsh*t me!” and “Get the f**k out of here!” Old Joe sure is a charmer!
Axios, however, is a reliable cog in the Left’s propaganda machine, and so it wants us to think that this mendacious, corrupt old man’s nasty temper is a good thing: “Some Biden aides think the president would be better off occasionally displaying his temper in public as a way to assuage voter concerns that the 80-year-old president is disengaged and too old for the office.” Yeah, that’ll work great. Let us see Old Joe screaming and shouting at his hapless aides. Then we’ll know that he’s in there fighting for the people, right?
Even as it purveys this arrant nonsense, Axios can’t help but draw back the curtain far enough for us to see just how miserable it must be to work for Old Joe. One Biden regime official said: “No one is safe.” And so even top aides could be in for the Biden treatment at any moment: “Biden aides still talk about how angry he got at Jeff Zients, then the administration’s ‘COVID czar,’ in late 2021 when there was a shortage of testing kits as the Omicron variant spread. (The rage was temporary. Zients is now Biden’s chief of staff.)” Oh, well, then! Zients must have recognized that Lunchbucket Joe’s anger was righteous!
That’s apparently what former White House spokesditz Jen Psaki thinks, as she supposedly told Old Joe “multiple times” that “I’ll know we have a really good, trusting relationship when you yell at me the first time.” Chris Whipple, author of a sycophantic whitewash of Biden’s presidency, commented: “Psaki wouldn’t have to wait long.” Once again, Old Joe’s charm is off the charts.
Much of the Axios piece, however, appears to be devoted to using Biden’s rants as evidence that he doesn’t have dementia. And so we’re told that “Biden’s temper comes in the form of angry interrogations rather than erratic tantrums. He’ll grill aides on topics until it’s clear they don’t know the answer to a question — a routine that some see as meticulous and others call ‘stump the chump’ or ‘stump the dummy.’”
Try squaring that claim with the new videos of a barely coherent Biden that come out practically every day. But Ted Kaufman, Biden’s chief of staff when he was a senator, which is now over fourteen years ago, says: “If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it. It’s not to embarrass people, it’s because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”
Reassuring! Or maybe not. Contrary to Axios’ spin, it is worth noting that a hair-trigger temper is a sign of advancing dementia, as is making rude or crude outbursts in public. The Alzheimer’s Society observes that “as a person’s dementia progresses, they may sometimes behave in ways that are physically or verbally aggressive.” This may take the form of “swearing, screaming, shouting or making threats,” as well as “hitting, pinching, scratching, hair-pulling, biting or throwing things.”
There have been no reports of Old Joe throwing things or pulling anyone’s hair as yet — he’s much more into sniffing hair, not pulling it. As throwing things is also a sign of dementia, however, before too long Old Joe may be rivaling Hillary in sending objects aloft as an expression of ire. Then the media will tell us that throwing things is a sign of Old Joe’s passion to do the right thing.
Jeff Bargholz says
The Alzheimer’s society is dead on right.
Intemperate angry outbursts are definitely a symptom of the disease, along with stupid rambling speech and physical frailty. Jerkoff Joe can barely walk and talk and he has angry outbursts regularly. And yes, he has Alzheimer’s disease, not some other form of senility. I took three tests based on observation of a person’s observable personality and behavior and they all came up positive for Alzheimer’s. The tests are designed for family members of the afflicted to determine the level of senility and what level of care is needed. Alzheimer Joe is OBVIOUSLY at level four, minimum, and maybe level five. I mean, the dolt shit his pants when he visited the Pope and rambled on about Satchel Paige (even though we all know he hates black people.) He farts uncontrollably in the presence of “royalty,” shakes hands with imaginary people, wanders off regularly on video, speaks incoherently and falls down over and over. He’s a human vegetable and we’re all supposed to pretend not to notice.
I really wish some female staff member would punch out the decrepit old weakling on video when he has another abusive outburst. That pussy needs so be put in his place.
From The Other Side of Town says
Here is a scary thought: our president is in far advance Alzheimer’s, and we cannot be rid of him.
Capitalist-Dad says
Biden has always been a vulgar, double dealing, half-witted Party stooge, so it isn’t just be Alzheimer’s disease. Better to pray that Darwinian selection quickly does its work—despite the best efforts of his tyrannical puppeteers.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
Yes, it presents with anger and belligerence.
But also, people who have followed him for decades say that he was ALWAYS mean and vindictive. He led personal attacks on Thomas during his hearing. He is an especially despicable jerk. The left’s claim that he would be a uniter, was strictly a social construct, aka, a big lie.
Lightbringer says
I didn’t know much about Joe Biden before his hostile interrogation of Clarence Thomas, but by the time those hearings were over I knew exactly what he was. And what Clarence Thomas was — a perfect gentleman in the face of truly disgusting bigotry and hostility.
Judith says
The whispering is as creepy as the fondling.
roberta says
Carter was supposedly a mean turd to deal with while president. He also had the cultivated ”man of the people” image.
They are a hateful bunch, without one nano-gram of gratitude between them all.
The lack of gratitude, or even the lack of knowing what to be grateful for, is a big part of what has gotten us to this ugly point in our history.
One should expect children to have no gratitude, if you have one that seems to have gratitude (I would suggest youve got yourself a little con-artist) But for an adult to behave this way is unacceptable.
Steve says
The notion that Peanut Dhimmi Carter was a deeply moral man as opposed to a sanctimonious, holier than thou poseur is one of the great political myths of the past century.
CowboyUp says
You forgot petty. It seems carter and the dems have cornered the market on that, as well.
Steve says
You’re so right. My bad.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
For this reason especially many call them “grifters”. That is what they are.
Steve says
When Biden ran in 1988, the mainstream media was merciless in exposing his stupidity, lies and plagiarism. Of course, back then he was more age appropriate for the job he was seeking, and he was one of several Democratic candidates and not the frontrunner. The Left and the mainstream media act as his apologists because allowing this cretinous, ice cream scarfing foul mouthed 80 year old white man to be president permits the Great Narcissist Barack Hussein Osama to serve an unconstitutional third term, and removed the Orange Man from office.
CowboyUp says
Ironic, that he and Gary Hart was rejected as unfit by their own party in 1988. My how they and the msm have dove into the gutter for dem candidates.
Lightbringer says
The former Narcissist in Chief is not actually serving a third term, he is just being convinced that he is by the people really running the country. Obama could not run a lemonade stand; he is lazy, feckless, and rather lacking in intelligence. What we have to wonder is, who is actually running things around here?
CowboyUp says
It’s scary how well the puppet masters are staying in the shodows. A suddenly incurious msm helps.
Kasandra says
Bill Clinton’s aides called his outbursts “Purple Rages.” But our media cover for Dems so we usually don’t hear about their proclivities. Biden,s outbursts are, I suspect, due to his deep (and well deservered) insecurity over his intellect. He probably asks these questions not to obtain some esoteric piece of information but so, when the aide can’t provide an answer, the odious Biden can say to himself, “See, that Harvard guy ain’t so smart. I, Joe Biden, stumped him.” Anybody who, as Robert Gates observed, has been wrong about every foreign policy issue for the past forty – now fifty – years just isn’t so bright. My cat, just with the law of averages, would have a better record. He’s just a stupid, nasty, bullying corrupt dishonest piece of work, now with dementia.
CowboyUp says
Shame on you Kasandra! You put the word “work,” in a sentence referring to joe biden. That’s profane, and we know better;-)
Kasandra says
Well, I thought the word I wanted to use might get me banned, as it did from Powerline Blog.
RAM says
Hillary Clinton is also crude and nasty. This is why attacks on Trump’s character failed in 2016.
Steve says
If you look up the words “political hack” Hillary’d photo would be next to it. She was a carpetbagger who ran in New York State (where she had never lived- even Robert F Kennedy “Massachusetts’ Third Senator” in the 1960s actually had lived in New York before running there in 1964) because it an ultra-blue state that had a vacant seat- she strongarmed Nita Lowrey (who had represented Westchester County in Congress) out of the race and was such a pathetic opportunist that she changed her favorite baseball team to win votes. During a debate with Rick Lazio (who was about as intimidating as a 12 year old boy) she claimed he was threatening her by approaching her lecturn. Aside from all of that, the only reason Hillary was elected was the backlash against impeachment of her sleazy spouse, Being the woman scorned is hardly a recommendation to the Senate, and it’s telling that Hillary has always lacked the popular appeal of her scummy husband.
K.F. Smith says
The only president who fit the definition of “man of the people” was Ronald Reagan.
CowboyUp says
He actually was a lifeguard, and did come from humble roots. Maybe joe was plagiarizing him on his resume. Dems loathed Reagan, yet still try to claim his mantle.
Steve says
Even some Republicans (mostly the RINO variety) used to roll their eyes when Reagan spoke of the Soviet Union as “the Evil Empire” and predicted Communism would be consigned to the ash heap of history. A little premature, what with Bernie, AOC, Maduro, but the implosion of Communism in the Soviet Union and its satellite states proved the assumption that Communism could not be rolled back was false. And just a few years after Democrats savaged Reagan as a dangerous warmonger who would set off a nuclear war (more likely to be caused by Biden and Barack Hussein Osama’s determination to aid Iran’s nuclear program) Reagan won the Cold War in large part by insisting on pursuing a Missile Defense Initiative (“Star Wars”) that Mondale made opposition to a centerpiece of his campaign in 1984. And with glasnost the Soviets themselves were acknowledging that everything they had denounced as an anti-Soviet libel for over 70 years was true. The least that the Democrats could have done (the VERY LEAST) is to admit Reagan was right.
Justin Swingle says
Where there’s smoke, look for fire. Biden came from humble means, never worked in the private sector, but somehow became wildly wealthy. Several of Biden’s family members essentially work in the family business of apparent influence peddling. Does Biden’s frequent refrain, “I never spoke with my son about his overseas business deals” come to mind? It makes one wonder if “never” really means “never!”. Biden has nine relatives receiving millions in foreign cash. What were they talking about when Vice President Biden and his cronies met 80 times at the White House? Veracity is everything when you solicit the public’s trust, and Biden’s persona is wrapped around his supposed trustworthiness. However, the facts here point to a person who uses hyperbole, manipulation, and outright lying to sway public opinion. ALLAN J FEIFER
Justin Swingle says
Levin charged the Democrats with unbridled hypocrisy, accusing Biden of racism.
“This effort to try and turn conservatism into the KKK, into neo-Nazi ism is really amazing, especially considering the history of the Democrat Party and its embrace of the KKK and slavery and segregation and Jim Crow. Despite its history of filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, despite its current president, Joe Biden being a racist and segregationist early in his career opposing public school integration, calling it a jungle,” he said.
John Vaiea says
I took care of my father during his path through his dementia until he passed. Biden’s behavior is an accurate reflection of my father’s dementia.

When people get old/demented, they can’t hide their true character.
staffsgt7 says
Being around dementia patients, I already knew he had dementia. Hitting and yelling are a part of it and tells me it is advancing. The falling down and looking like he is seeing things and wandering off – well, that is a part of it too. It seems the democrats like demented ones though – Fetterman is another example. Then they have Harris – one who is supposedly of an intact brain but what comes out of her mouth sounds very demeted.
Lightbringer says
Let’s give Harris the benefit of the doubt on the dementia issue. I would call her profoundly stupid, but mentally intact. The manner in which she slept her way into high office and ended up Vice President is the stuff of comedy, not history, but given the valiant Zelinsky’s rise to power from his roots as a comic, we live in rather comedic times. Might as well laugh at it all, else we’ll weep.
RS says
The United States is in a bad spot. Our security is greatly comprimised whether the Democrats and media want to admit it or not. Alzheimers is a brain disorder that gets worse over time. Its characterized by changes in the brain that leads to deposits of certain proteins. Alzheimers can cause the brain to shrink and brain cells to eventually die. The signs are gradual decline in memory, motor skills, thinking, behavior, and social skills. These changes eventually affect the person’s ability to function, and all doctors know this, especially the President’s physician. Those that deny that there is a problem are putting everyone’s security in jeopardy, including the media pundits.
10ffgrid says
He has been an incompetent, dishonest, and corrupt democrat parasite for his entire adult life. He’s clueless about working for or earning a living, choosing to suck off the taxpayer instead. Biden has done more damage to America’s sovereignty than I thought possible, while aggressively undermining our country’s ability to compete internationally. I’m disgusted with him and his party, and fear for our children’s futures.
Lightbringer says
Good observations. You’ve said it all.
Taylor says
He was always a loudmouthed bully. Now he has some form of dementia and he cant control it.
Andrew Blackadder says
Trump called a few Reports as Fake News… Headline on CNN for weeks.
Joe Biden calls a Reporter a dumb son of a bitch…Crickets…
Goh Heung Yong says
He is a vulgar, congenital liar and thug. So what is the big secret ? He is a degenerate, not just physically and mentally, but ideologically as well.
