Old yeller: Biden's private fury

[Anonymous]

In public, President Biden likes to whisper to make a point. In private, he's prone to yelling.

Behind closed doors, Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast.

The president's admonitions include: "God dammit, how the f**k don't you know this?!," "Don't f**king bullsh*t me!" and "Get the f**k out of here!" — according to current and former Biden aides who have witnessed and been on the receiving end of such outbursts.
Why it matters: The private eruptions paint a more complicated picture of Biden as a manager and president than his carefully cultivated image as a kindly uncle who loves Aviator sunglasses and ice cream.

I don’t know how true this is, but it seems like Dems are trying to get rid of Biden.

Wow, now raising your voice is disqualifying. It must be in Article 69 of the MAGA constitution.

Jeff Connaughton, a former Biden campaign and Senate aide who was chief of staff to Kaufman when he filled Biden's seat in the Senate, wrote about Biden's temper in his 2012 book on Washington corruption, "The Payoff: Why Wall Street Wins."

Connaughton wrote that as a senator, Biden was an "egomaniacal autocrat … determined to manage his staff through fear."

The article has many examples of more than a raised voice.

He’s certainly impulsive, and sometimes not in a good way. I would not have chosen this guy in the last Democrat primaries and I’m not happy he wants to stay on. However, he does have very extensive political experience, including international experience, which is seriously valuable at the moment.

The republican pearl clutching is hilarious given who the leader of their party is. "Just ignore the carnival under our tent" must be their motto.

I suppose they have to cope with their powerlessness somehow.

Wow next thing you know he'll be throwing ketchup at the wall.

Sounds more like an orange liar that we voted out of office recently.

So what? May I introduce you to Donald Trump? Or any number of elected officials? Since when is a "temper" disqualifying?

And yet, he keeps getting elected, has staff that work for and are loyal to him, and is an effective leader.

If you don't like it, don't work for him. Easy.

They're really running out of things to pin on the President. Reminds me of the tan suit and 44.

Unlike the Trump White House, there hasn't been a revolving door of Biden staffers, there hasn't been hundreds of damning leaks about how things are being run by Biden, there hasn't been a regular spate of books written by former Biden associates talking about how bad it was...

I'm pretty sure Joe never said "You can grab them by the pu**y. You can do anything."

Yeah I don't really see the problem here.

This is a common dementia/alzheimers symptom.

This was my thought, too.
