The newest NYT scandal is essentially a rehash of the Obama NYT scandal.

Biden demands his advisors be prepared and wants to know details before he makes a decision. 😱

Oh, also: he gets angry when his experts try to bullshit him.

SHORT FUSE — @JoeBiden has a casual, ‘aw shucks’ demeanor. But that masks a demand for long, detailed deliberations and a quick temper with aides who don’t have answers. For more, read our deep dive about how he makes decisions. @anniekarni @katierogers https://nytimes.com/2021/05/14/us/politics/joe-biden-policy-decisions.html?surface=most-popular&fellback=false&req_id=534142419&algo=bandit-all-surfaces-uh-lasttoday-alpha-03&variant=4_bandit-all-surfaces-uh-lasttoday-alpha-03&pool=pool/91fcf81c-4fb0-49ff-bd57-a24647c85ea1&imp_id=880429942&action=click&module=Popular%20in%20The%20Times&pgtype=Homepage…

He also *gasp* genuinely cares about his aides, takes the time to talk to their families, and has dinner with the First Lady every night.

And CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! Dr. Jill Biden likes wine.

This seriously might be the most ridiculous article I’ve ever read.

1. Why is this a "scandal"?

[gratuitous]

4. Because apparently the Times doesn't know how to do reporting anymore

They got so addicted to the former guy's gaslighting that they don't know how to cover routine political events anymore, and so they have to try to blow up everyday proceedings into some kind of "crisis" or scandal."

9. I read the whole article and found it to be overall favorable to Biden, especially compared...

to the last guy.

2. Damn, that sounds like someone I want running my country and hopefully safeguarding

all of our futures. I wonder what I missed?

3. In a world where the media constantly refers to politicians

“slamming” and “ripping” and “eviscerating” one another, it’s really hard to know what “lashing out” means in this context. Did Biden, like, bodyslam Bercerra to the ground? Or was it just a spirited discussion?

[Me.]

5. Oh Dear God

This crazy president wants real answers and wants to take his time making a decision so that he might make a better one. And he really should manage his time better so that he has enough time to dally with people who aren't fully prepared. He acts like he's running a country full of millions of people, is trying to completely end a pandemic and fight off inflation. WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

6. The prior guy refused to read his briefing memos and had the attention span of a gnat.

I'm glad that Biden demands to be fully and comprehensively briefed.

7. So it turns out Sleepy Joe

Is a badass BOSS. The horror!
The NYT can suck it.

8. Amazing! An actual, real live, working president! Wow! Just wow! Go Joe!
