Most presidents are fact checked about their policies, few have been fact checked about whether they were awake. Joe Biden has had the most sleeping fact checks of any other president, but that’s because presidents usually don’t fall asleep at major events like visits by foreign leaders or commemorations of mass deaths in a recent natural disaster.
Even at the best of times, it’s never that clear whether Biden is awake or asleep. But sometimes he closes his eyes and appears to drift off before stirring awake.
And the media rushes in to argue that he wasn’t really asleep.
This happens so often that when former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited the White House in 2021, video showed a masked Biden seeming to doze off with his eyes closed. Current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joked in his own video that, “I heard that Biden was very attentive at this meeting. He dropped his head in agreement.”
Media fact checks claimed that the video of Biden sleeping had been “misleadingly cropped”.
This year, Biden welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog (an unelected official) to express his opposition to democratic judicial reform in Israel by seemingly closing his eyes, clasping his hands and mumbling something about everyone “coming together at a political level”.
Some people thought he was sleeping, but the media explained that he was reading from a note in his lap. With his eyes closed. The media blamed “misleading clipping”.

Ceremony, protocol, international relations and major crises can’t stop Biden from napping.
In the latest naptime incident, Biden appeared to nod off during a memorial event for those who died during the Hawaii wildfires before shaking himself out of it and nodding in confusion.

That was then. Things move much faster now.
I wonder....if Congress impeaches him will the defense be that he’s too incompetent to stand trial?
Sleep is in the eye of the beholder and only Biden knows for sure whether he was really asleep. You don’t have to be 80 years old to fall asleep during a speech. I’ve done it myself. And most of us have probably briefly nodded off at some occasion only to quickly wake up again. There’s nothing especially wrong with that, beyond a little bit of social awkwardness, but lying about it is another matter.
It’s not at all far-fetched that an 80-year-old man after an extended flight, touring wildfire damage in hot weather, and taking part in multiple events might have briefly dozed off at 9 PM or so, before boarding a return flight to Nevada.
The problem isn’t that Biden’s people are lying about the sleeping, it’s that the media is doing it.

You don’t have to be 80 years old to fall asleep during a speech. I’ve done it myself. ....
a little bit of social awkwardness perhaps, but lying about it is another matter.

My brother-in-law says that Biden might be slipping a little but that he’s still going to vote for him.
It is so hard keeping up with him. He is just go go go. (To his next vacation or bed).
Large segments of the news media exist only to support Democrats and spread Democratic propaganda.
And the corrupt liars in the press are A-OK with Biden's crap.
Why would you want us to know about your dysfunctional family? Clean up that mess.
Haha. Yeah like I got any control over that. Actually I’m just illustrating how irrational supposedly educated people can be.
And there are a lot of them out there. It would be foolish on our part not to acknowledge that, depressing as that is.
I hear you. I have a distant cousin-in-law who just retired from academia. I think of him as educated above his common sense. I have started distancing myself from family, friends and people in my circle of influence who put liberal politics ahead of everything else.
If they can’t associate with me without trying to dumb me down with their unintelligent leftard political agenda, then they are not welcome in my world. I’m a hardass about it too. I haven’t spoken to my youngest daughter for 5 years.
I’m not sure what is going to happen there, but we taught her better…I should have never paid for her indoctrination at the University of Washington.
I quit talking him (my BIL) and his idiot wife. They live in another state, so it was easy enough to do. He is a generally nice guy and good company, did not push his leftist politics generally, but when he advocated the Rats arresting political opponents I was done with him - he said he wanted every person who worked in the Trump White House to be arrested. I want nothing to do with anyone that wants that. His wife is an irritating person to be around anyway, so her commie beliefs were icing on the cake.
