Are you not irritated at the max-level gaslighting the legacy corporate media continues to pile on you regarding President Non Compos Mentis Joe Biden? A Monday morning post at Axios might well have been the most shining example yet.

The thing about Biden is that he’s never been a nice guy. He’s never been this Good Ol’ Joe character as he’s been portrayed — to the contrary, he’s probably the trashiest politician in America of the past half-century. Whether it’s shilling for predatory credit card companies; botching every foreign-policy question in a manner most favorable to those who hate us; race-baiting from every possible angle; shamelessly running an influence-peddling scheme; lying in public about his academic record, his first marriage, his current marriage, his dead son and his live one; engaging in highly questionable hygienic pursuits with his 12-year-old daughter; refusing to acknowledge his granddaughter and on and on — there exists no figure in American politics who has fallen this short of a reasonable standard of conduct for a prominent elected official as has Joe Biden.

He’s Dirty Joe. He’s always been Dirty Joe. And now he’s a demented, senile old man who can’t control himself around staffers and others. (READ MORE: Joe Biden Throws Son Hunter Under the Bus)

Anyone who’s dealt with a relative suffering from dementia knows that angry outbursts are par for the course. But Axios, in a piece noting that they’re de rigeur for Biden now, says there’s another cause:

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.

• Some Biden aides think the president would be better off occasionally displaying his temper in public as a way to assuage voter concerns that the 80-year-old president is disengaged and too old for the office.

Zoom in: Senior and lower-level aides alike can be in Biden’s line of fire. “No one is safe,” said one administration official.

• Biden aides still talk about how angry he got at Jeff Zients, then the administration’s “COVID czar,” in late 2021 when there was a shortage of testing kits as the Omicron variant spread. (The rage was temporary. Zients is now Biden’s chief of staff.)
• A spokesperson for Zients told Axios: “I’m not going to speak to what internal convos may or may not have happened between Jeff and the president.”
• The White House declined to comment.

It gets even better than that:

Zoom out: Biden’s temper comes in the form of angry interrogations rather than erratic tantrums.

• He’ll grill aides on topics until it’s clear they don’t know the answer to a question — a routine that some see as meticulous and others call “stump the chump” or “stump the dummy.”
• Being yelled at by the president has become an internal initiation ceremony in this White House, aides say — if Biden doesn’t yell at you, it could be a sign he doesn’t respect you.

Ted Kaufman, Biden’s longtime chief of staff when the future president represented Delaware in the Senate, told Axios that Biden’s process is policy-driven, and has made him a strong executive.

• “If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it,” he said. “It’s not to embarrass people, it’s because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”

Some Biden aides argue that the president’s rages reflect his high expectations for his staff.

• “Speaking Biden” is a particular skill, they said. It can take years to learn to navigate his moodiness, and anticipate what information he’s going to ask for in a briefing.
• Some administration officials, many of whom went to elite schools, struggle with Biden’s demand to ditch wonky, acronym-filled language and brief him as if they were talking to a close family member who isn’t in the D.C. bubble.
• Biden’s defenders acknowledge he can be tough. But they also say he can be more generous and compassionate than many powerful politicians and can make them feel like family. That’s partly why so many aides have worked with Biden for decades, and go in and out of his orbit, they say.

Right, OK. So Joe Biden screams and yells at his staffers because of his (checks notes) high standards of performance.

And not because he’s a senile old man who for two years has blown off calls from Congress that he undergo the Montreal Cognitive Assessment while making nonstop gaffes during his mumbling speeches.

He’s tyrannical because he’s a perfectionist. Get it, plebes?

Except this comes out right after Biden showed up on a beach in Delaware looking less like a tyrannical perfectionist and more like somebody who could use assisted living.

To wit:

And then Biden hopped a flight to jolly old England, and, well, let’s just say that Jerry Lee Lewis might have had a more successful sojourn in his ill-fated appearance there. Look how frail and confused our tyrannical perfectionist Alpha Male president is:

This is the White House that sends its treasury secretary to Beijing to literally kowtow to the ChiComs while splashing the bright idea to send cluster munitions to Ukraine for the purpose of committing war crimes that will almost assuredly bring Russian retaliation to our shores and start World War III in earnest (and for … what, exactly?). (READ MORE: China Betrays Its True Weakness — Despite Blinken’s Obeisance)

And meanwhile someone is smuggling cocaine into the White House, and we have no idea who it was. Forget that Biden’s known-cokehead son spent the Fourth of July clearly hopped up on something and was caught on camera in an action that looked a whole lot like he was taking a bump of yeyo…

It’s out of control, it’s a manifestly untenable situation, it’s clear to anyone who’s paying attention that we don’t have anything more than a figurehead president, and our betters at Axios and the other regime media organs lecture us that Biden’s gruff diatribes reflect his Alpha Male muscularity.

By now you ought to be utterly insulted and seeing red.

How many people not reading this piece feel the same way?
