We’ve actually already covered this story; a couple of days ago, the New York Times published a piece on how Dr. Jill Biden wasn’t standing on the sidelines when it came to her husband’s most elusive campaign promise — winning the “battle for the soul of the nation.” On Wednesday, the Orlando Sentinel picked up and republished the piece, quoting the first line in its tweet:

As the Times reports:
The summer was a rough one for President Joe Biden.
Another pandemic surge prompted Biden, a veteran moderate, to attack Republican governors and embrace vaccine mandates. A bipartisan infrastructure deal hung in the balance. The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, during which 13 service members were killed in a terrorist attack, was criticized as violent and haphazard.
But the events left another Biden feeling bruised.
“I love him, and it’s hurtful,” Jill Biden said in an interview, the first she has granted to a newspaper since becoming first lady. “I do feel the sting of it. I wouldn’t be a good partner if I didn’t.”
“A veteran moderate” is having a tough summer and so is his wife.

It’s hasn’t exactly been a day at the beach for the rest of us, either.

Poor guy. Why is he the only one? Seems unfair. 🙄

No, America is who had it rough. Biden is the reason.

American people had a rough go of it, too.
— Thanks, bruh. (@BozOzler) September 22, 2021
Yeah but it’s been rougher for working class Americans.

Well, the cost of your Fourth of July barbecue was down 16 cents.
Yeah I mean I for one feel sorry for the catastrophes of his own making.
Plus, it's everyone else's fault.— Torrey M. Spears 🇺🇸 (@torreymspears) September 22, 2021
I think 13 of our servicemen and women had it a tad worse.

A few Afghan kids had a bad day too.

Yep, we still have Americans stranded in Afghanistan but this is the story here.

I've run out of sympathy for incompetent, morally repugnant, tyrannical walking corpses. Sorry not sorry.

Everybody wonders who is fucking everything up, since Joe is clearly just a husk at this point in his life.
Is this photo a hint?

Yes.
Where's Joe?

Keep up the good work Jill. 😂

I don't know who needs to hear this, but that's not Joe.

Joe looks a bit different here. Does he identify as the person pulling his strings?
— Aldous Huxley's Ghost™ (@AF632) September 22, 2021
Joe looks odd in your picture. Halloween?
— Douglas (@DouglasShrugged) September 22, 2021
Jill wanted the presidency more than Joe is the only explanation why they trotted him out like Weekend at Bernie's.
— #RespectTheChart (@69Rsi) September 22, 2021
Probably the person telling Joe what to do and say, so good choice.

That's his caretaker contemplating if it's time to finally put him down?

Yeah its rough wandering around with dementia being told when you can answer questions.

Yes. Pretty tough when you squint and still can’t read the teleprompter! 😱🙉

Who would have thought things would be tough if you suck at your job?
— No. Just No (@HarryThetech76) September 22, 2021
Biden hasn’t had a summer this rough since his run-in with Corn Pop while he was lifeguarding.
