Earlier today, President Joe Biden delivered another one of his trademark Biden-y performances by briefly showing up to talk about the Silicon Valley Bank bailout that totally won’t cost taxpayers anything and then turning tail and running.
Where’d he have to go that was so important? Why couldn’t he stick around to answer some questions? Hey, maybe his former press secretary and current MSNBC political analyst Jen Psaki can give us some insight:

Wait a minute … that’s what she came up with?
“President Biden does nothing at 9AM.”

Um, great?
That's reassuring.

is that supposed to make us feel better

Like, we get that Psaki would still feel loyalty to Joe Biden for giving her such a huge career boost despite her being completely inept (although next to her successor, she looks like a whiz kid), but if that’s indeed the case, you’d think she’d try a little harder to come up with a defense for him. Because the one she came up with is … woof.
She thinks…this is a good thing???
Apparently Biden can't answer the emergency phone at 9 A.M.? https://t.co/ZJ049AnVfX

Because he’s a “night owl.” Or something.
"He's a night owl". Uh huh, sure. That's the reason. The complete lack of curiosity about this admission (and the other questions that should immediately follow) is very, very telling. https://t.co/DuhUjqjbF0

Joe Biden must’ve become a night owl very recently. Like last night:
Also, on her claim that Biden is a "night owl," here's an article from 2021: "Unlike his most recent predecessors – night owls who spent the dark hours reading briefing materials, Biden is more of an early-to-bed type."https://t.co/UlIjsGrLRM

Biden early to bed and early to lid makes us think we’re way better off if POTUS stays hid.

Not great when it’s supposed to be a sign of reassurance that the President is working at 9am https://t.co/WVhJWBLpfa

You can tell it’s serious because Biden is working at 9am.
That’s now insulated from reality these people are. https://t.co/eVVsSGltcU

Just an incredible admission https://t.co/U1CAzaQdTt

Or is it?
To be fair, he doesn't do much at any other hour of the day either.
