They really published this, y'all.
Biden's quirky aphorisms are sometimes weaponized by Republicans to insinuate the 80-year-old president is in mental decline. But Biden has been using unique phrases for years โ but even some of his aides aren't exactly sure what he means by them.
Truly marvelous.
"Quirky aphorisms."
Biden, the master sage of adage, maxim, and banter!
What a time to be alive, eh?
Translation: "Those pouncing Republicans are evil when they suggest Biden has dementia, but it's true that not even Joe's staff knows what he's talking about."
President Biden often uses old-timey expressions that confound even his own staff. That happened again Friday when he ended a speech on gun violence with "God save the queen, man."
See, any rational person would look at this octogenarian shuffler babbling incoherently and go, "Wow, this guy is really facing down the ravages of time. He probably shouldn't be in charge of anything like nukes and the economy."
But the mainstream media goes, "The Supreme Leader is virile and strong and shall lead us into a glorious future!"
Biden also said, "God save the queen," when he was vice president in January 2017, after he certified Donald Trump's 2016 election victory, The Telegraph reported at the time.
- Axios asked several current and former Biden aides what the phrase meant. Several gave different answers and some said they still aren't sure.
- As a proud Irishman whose ancestors probably weren't fans of the crown, Biden may use the phrase more as sarcasm.
Ah yes, the "old-timey" expression of "God save the queen" meant as a witty jab at the monarchy to cap off a speech about taking away everyone's guns.
There are legitimate questions about Biden's age and stamina as he runs for a second term โ but his off-beat proverbs are just Biden being Biden.
"Proverbs."
They want you to believe that the nonsensical, incomprehensible drivel spouted off by our resident POOTUS is merely proverbial, like King Solomon of old!
The super-serious Catholic can't even pronounce the word "psalmist"!!
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." โ George Orwell, 1984
Anyway, thanks for the laugh, Axios!
What would we do without clowns like these?
