Question to the drug experts here: What exactly are they giving Biden before big events where they need him to be on his A-game? (hexbear.net)

During the 2020 primaries, he was sleepy and not with it in all the debates, but when it came time for the one-on-one debate with Bernie, all of a sudden he was "fiery" Joe.

The same thing happened at the state of the union. They literally hide him whenever they can, even to the point of him declining a pre-superbowl interview. And then all of a sudden he's "fiery" Joe again during the state of the union.

I have to believe that they are giving him some kind of concoction or drug or something, and I don't think it's conspiratorial to speculate that this is the case.

So to any biology/pharmacy/medical experts out there, what the hell is going on?

The joke is amphetamines, but I recall hearing reports a few years back that TONS of the people in congress/whatever in DC see doctors that give them prescriptions SPECIFICALLY for events like the SOTU speech. Some sort of stimulant, nothing that I can recall the name of. But, the report came out under the Trump admin, so its probably coated in liberalism unless you find something scientific.

In my country when staffers and politicians have to do marathon work or overnight work, it's well known that modafinil does the rounds.
