Have you ever noticed how when you have to concentrate on a subject, I mean really bear down and concentrate, how you have to hold in your memory everything you mean to say in precisely the way you mean to say it, if you lose concentration for one second the whole thing flies out of your head and you're screwed, it's almost impossible to get it back, and one of the physical "tells" that you are concentrating that hard is you squint your eyes. It's almost like you're reading something you've written down beforehand, but you don't have the writing in front of you, you have to read it in your head, and the best way of filtering out any physical distractions is to squint and visualize what you wrote and read from it. Joe Biden canot make any public pronouncements any more without having a very serious squint in his eyes. And he almost certainly is reading from a teleprompter, but some part of his brain is struggling with all its might to read the words as they are written, and he's terrified he can't do it. So he concentrates with every fiber of his being and squints like there is sunlight glaring in his eyes. It's something I have noticed about the man. Am I the only one?
