There’s a video going around of Joe Biden appearing to fall asleep momentarily with the Prime Minister of Israel yesterday. And people are having a fun time with it:

Ok that’s hilarious. And as much as I would love to mock Biden for this, for it to be real and true, I’m instead going to be the bearer of bad news. He didn’t fall asleep and his eyes were open the whole time. He was just looking at the floor for who knows why.
Here’s the video from the White House feed of the meeting, all cued up:
You can even see his fingers moving while he’s looking down. And if you zoom in to his face, you can see him blinking.
It’s not a great look him looking down, but that’s all it was. Sorry if I burst any bubbles.
