Joe Biden Says He 'Almost Fell Asleep' on Debate Stage Published at 7:24 PM EDT

President Joe Biden on Tuesday offered an "explanation" for his poor debate performance during a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia.

While addressing supporters alongside Virginia Representative Don Beyer, the president said that he "wasn't very smart" to travel in the weeks leading up to the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.

"I decided to travel around the world a couple of times ... shortly before the debate ... I didn't listen to my staff ... and then I almost fell asleep on stage," Biden said, according to a pool report from Andrew Feinberg, White House correspondent for The Independent.

"It's not an excuse but an explanation," the president added, per Feinberg.

[That’s an interesting way to try to make the debate better.
Didn’t he have an entire week off before the debate?]


In my 20s, it took a week to get over jet lag, and there was no high pressure event scheduled in the evening, when my circadian clock would have been thinking it’s bedtime. He’s not in his 20s.

Ay por favor-esta mierda otra vez? First it was a cold that made him look stoned-now it is jet lag/too much travel/changing time zones? What’s next-he slept too much at Camp David during practice?

Well, no one told me about him, the way he lied
Well, no one told me about him, how many people cried
But it’s too late to say you’re sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don’t bother tryin’ to find him
He’s not there

I almost fell asleep on stage," Biden said

That should help to reassure the nervous Democrat donors out there.

Jill tried to tell him to take a nap first, like Ellen to Clark Griswold telling him to stop driving because he’s getting over tired.

Ellen: “You get weird when you get tired. Let’s just find a motel.”
Clark: “I’m not tired.”

RE: Falling asleep AND killed medicare.

Ha. He ditched the murder weapon, a sharp letter opener, in the potted plant on the way to the stage.

And when Joe was not traveling around the world, he implementing his policies 24 hours per day to make everyone’s life in America honky-dory. And that is no malarky.

I thought little Joey had a cold, that was the original excuse for his decrepit raspy voice which he later called a sore throat, not a cold. They realllly think everyone is stupid to now be putting this fossil out as Mr. With-it.

The whole situation reminds me of that scene from the film “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” when Hunter S. Thompson decides to take a shortcut through the airport running through a fence so Dr. Gonzo can make his flight. “I’ve never missed a flight in my life”. Or something like that.
