#4 Remember when the LSM went gaga over Gerard Ford's 'slide' down the steps of Air Force One?

Biden's fall at Air Force commencement draws concern, mockery: 'This isn't fair to anyone'

#10 At his age with his mental decline is a clear indicator he doesn't have much time left. The brain that controls the motor functions, along with the motor functions themselves are now falling apart. Soon that will spread to swallowing and the diaphragm. 2-3 years for him. If he breaks a hip during a fall it will be even quicker.

#11 Sandbag, huh?

#12 I don’t see a sandbag in the video. Could he have dropped a bean bag from his pocket for when Jill lets him play Toss Across between signing executive orders?

#13 Beanbag? I think Buttgig is the one who plays cornhole...

#14 Nothing there. That is front and center stage, transit area, where the fucking keynotes and VIPs will and did transit, unless everyone is so incompetent that they not only put a foot obstruction where an 80 year old would walk, nobody else said anything.

Simple fact is, Brandon was a mess the entire ceremony, with slurring and stammering off topic speech. Like, when he wondered off and that gal had to go get him, the humanitarian in my wanted to jump out of my seat and make sure he didn't stammer sideways off the stage. Like watching someone with heat exhaustion symptoms of mental declination.

#15 ^ So, either someone botched his meds or he's reaching the point where they no longer help.

#16 He has the platinum health care attention. I'd be bed ridden and carted about in a chair.

I'd wager they have a downer or straight out sleeping pill handy when he starts rambling confessions.

#18 Biden bites it during the diploma handshake conga line portion of the ceremony. You might put a sandbag on the flag holder or under the podium for wind conditions, but there aren’t sandbags in a receiving line. I do like that everyone stands when Biden sits, but just looks bemused during the presidential break dance. There is no established military etiquette for a POTUS face-plant. Confusion reigns. Should the band play Pop Goes The Weasel? Should everyone recite London Bridge and fall down too? Do we needs carpet squares for nap time? What is the etiquette?

#21 I'm 74 with moderate neuropathy in my feet, affecting my balance. If I spin too quickly, my head keeps spinning.

I think Joe spun too quickly to get off the stage and his balance failed. My wife's news feed told her Joe 'tripped on something on the stage.' Hogwash.

#22 In all fairness if you slow the video the edge of sandbag can bee seen holding down a speaker stand. Slow Joe wasn't watching where his feet were going.

#23 I stand corrected. The stage set up crew is likely cuffed to chairs watching season 2 of Hello Larry by this time.

#24 There are better ways to secure a mic stand than a foot trip, especially when the path will be used by a semi-invalid. I can go down to Music Town and get you a weighted stand right now. Fucking amateurs.

Banged his head fairly solid on Marine One.

We've all done these things before, at least I have; taken all together if this were a person at a bar I'd figure him as absolutely plastered.

#26 We are watching a presidency descend into the realm of a Stooges episode. Unfortunately, Shemp is headlining.

#27 Slapstick has never been an appropriate look for a national leader, least of all an American national leader.

The continuance of "somethin' just ain't right" is not funny - it is downright dangerous.
