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.

Whoever was charged with tying his shoes will surely be reprimanded for that lapse.

The "loafers with no socks" type is like the hipster type. To be avoided and definitely not trusted.

From the Daily Mail - no similar article in the NYT or Wapo
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was slammed for bowing multiple times when she met with China's vice premier He Lifeng, as some critics say the protocol error is a sign of American weakness.
Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden's top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday.
Moments after bowing at least three times, Yellen then stumbled over He's name, calling him 'Vice Premier Hu.'
Video at link. Biden is indeed wearing that blank and lost expression on his face and doesn't seem to realize that he's supposed to keep moving. I can't tell if Charles is all that frustrated or just mildly amused. If you watch the video you'll see Joe putting his hand on Charles' back. Elizabeth would have smacked him for that.

As for Janet, she's a good girl. She knows which side of the bread is buttered. She'll do as she's told.

I think the answer is all politicians and bureaucrats must be required to place all their holdings in "a basket of securities most likely to be damaged by bad political and central bank choices."

[NY Post] Guess the party, race?
A Georgia mayor was arrested for breaking into a lake house he coveted and confronting the frightened homeowner while snarling, "Do you know who the f—k I am?" police and the victim say.
South Fulton
...the Blackest city in America, at least among those of 100,000+ population, it is both 90% Black and has a higher than average individual education and income, though that may change. Unwillingly incorporated in 2016 with a weak mayor system, the government has been ridden with strife from the beginning... Attempts to recruit or retain white residents have been largely unsuccessful.
Mayor Khalid Kamau was busted Saturday after the homeowner called cops around 6:52 a.m. about a trespasser at his home on Cascade Palmetto Highway.
“All property belongs to the people, and I’m a people.”
The victim said that while he was on the phone with police, Kamau yelled at him several times, snarling, "Do you know who the f—k I am? I’m the mayor, and I’ll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then," WSB-TV said.
Kamau has declined to comment on the incident, instead choosing to praise the South Fulton Police Department for its quick intervention.
"I do want to thank the South Fulton police and the staff of officers for their courteous and professional service throughout the day," he told reporters as he later left jail.
The mayor told officers that he was on his way to a dog park when he stopped by the house, claiming it was his dream home and that he had hopes of purchasing it one day, according to the police report.
Kamau admitted to police that he was aware he was trespassing on the homeowner’s property, despite telling FOX 5 Atlanta he believed the home was "abandoned."
The homeowner, who has not been publicly identified, said he saw the mayor walk up his driveway and approach his lake house when he rushed to get dressed and called police from inside his truck.
The owner of the home then approached Kamau and held him at gunpoint until police arrived, warning the mayor to stay put, the report states.
"No, motherf—ker, you stay right there," the homeowner said, according to Kamau.
The mayor claimed that he apologized to the homeowner and explained who he was. When the homeowner warned him to wait for police, Kamau allegedly responded: "Are you going to shoot me while I’m walking away?"
The mayor was charged with criminal trespass and first-degree burglary and was booked in the Fulton County Jail on $11,000 bond before being released.
City officials said the investigation is ongoing and did not provide further details on the case.
"The city of South Fulton is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their position, are subject to the same fair and just treatment," officials said in a statement.
lord garth submitted the same article, commenting:
his bio indicates he is a BlackLivesMatter organizer and a socialist
Inspired by that, I discovered Hizzoner is a local boy, son of upper middle class professionals, who changed his name to khalid kamau without any capital letters when he was 18, claiming it was a Yoruba thing. Politically he comes out of the Bernie Bro end of the spectrum, and is proud to be the first BLM activist elected mayor. Though he does deeply resent that the city only pays $13,000 a year for the job, which does not allow him to live in the style of his parents — and he’d pledged to take no outside work, lest he be distracted from the cause.
Courtesy of Fred, Gateway Pundit adds:
Kamau went on to say that he hoped his arrest would "highlight some of the inequities that have been happening" in South Fulton. Was he implying that his arrest was an example of an inequity?

The Police were called by homeowner BEFORE 7AM ? "The mayor told officers that he was on his way to a dog park when he stopped by the house, claiming it was his dream home and that he had hopes of purchasing it one day,"</small>
Who the hell enters other peoples yards that early in the morning for "legal" reasons ? Let alone to discuss buying a house?
