This makes sense.

I think it's funny that with Nixon they used to ignore his orders at night and wait until he sobered up in the morning.

This isn't anything like that.

Hold up, let’s not indulge the fantasy that Nixon was ever sober in the White House. Just periods of time where he was less slightly less than completely shitfaced

It is but we need to notate that sober for Nixon is drunker than my alcoholic ass has ever thought about being

I can really only respond with a resounding AROOOOOOOOOO!

I wouldn't be scheduling non-critical meetings after 8:00 PM either. A normal president's day must start around 7:00 or 8:00 AM. Unless it's an emergency, I don't see a need for a President to be working more than a dozen or so hours a day.

On the topic, do MAGAts really think that their orange god was awake, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and working at 8:00 AM every day after staying up and rage tweeting until 3:00 AM? I would be shocked to find out that Trump did any actual work at all before noon.

If I was president, I'd limit work hours to 8 hours per day as much as possible, not 12. Sure, you can't schedule emergencies, but you can provide goalposts.

Heh, so if Biden had just said he was scheduling "executive time" for 8:00PM to 11:00PM every day, everybody would have been cool, right?

Let's not forget that he golfed a lot as well.

He should do what trump does - spend more than half of his time on the golf course. /s

Well that sure instills confidence! He's good as long as he doesn't have any events at night or need to work late. This is fine for an elective job, where an old person has a task that will take 50 hours performed whenever they feel up to it, not for a candidate. All these excuses are just other ways in which he's not fit to be candidate. Can't change time zones within a WEEK of an event? Can't schedule anything after 8 pm? Cancel if he's got a cold (one of those colds that make you incoherent but involve no coughing or sniffling)?

We shouldn't be rolling the dice with an increasing list of restrictions needed for Biden to be up for public interaction.

Trump supporters are going to have a fucking field day with this.

Please you fucking prideful asshat. If you get Trump reelected we'll never fucking forgive you. If you can't win this then step the fuck down.
