Word is that President Joe Biden has headed back home to Delaware for the weekend after a tough week of negotiations on his Build Back Better Act, which is going nowhere without Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema on board. We missed this earlier in the week, but NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell posted a couple shots from the White House Thursday night right before 9 p.m., noting that the lights were still on and a Marine was still at his post at the door. From those clues, she deduced the president was still working.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded within four minutes that her office lights were still on.

But what about Biden? That’s pretty late for him.
100% chance he’s dead asleep at the desk.

Given when his lid is normally called, he either fell asleep or is lost.

If you zoom in you'll see that he's actually drooling over an ice cream cone watching Sesame Street.

Just because the lights are on doesn’t mean anyone is at home.

He forgot to use The Clapper to turn off the lights after Murder She Wrote.

He called a lid 7 hours ago. The dude doesn’t know what work is.

Biden's light hasn't been on the past year.

It’s funny that it makes the news when the White House lights are on at 9 p.m.
