    Watch: Biden falls on stage at Air Force Academy graduation

    President Biden falls down walking up steps of Air Force One - Bing video


    Joe Biden was involved in a bizarre moment after he stood up and wandered out of a studio during a live TV broadcast.

    "The US President walked off set while cameras were still filming after appearing on MSNBC for an interview with Nicolle Wallace.

    Joe Biden Made Another Embarrassing Mistake (msn.com)
    "Back at the end of March, President Joe Biden repeatedly referred to the town of Rolling Fork, Miss., as “Rolling Stone” during a stop in the town to examine the damage caused by a tornado a week earlier."

    Biden can’t recall visit to Ireland he took two weeks ago (nypost.com)
    "The last country I’ve traveled, I’m trying to think of the last one I was in,” Biden mused to the children of administration staffers and members of the media.

    “I’ve been to, met with 89 heads of state so far. So, uh, trying to think where was the last place I was; it’s hard to keep track.”

    “Ireland,” a child shouted out, jogging the president’s memory."
    “Yeah, you’re right, Ireland. That’s where it was,” "

    Truth in advertising - I am a big pickleball player and am teaching one of our kids how to play. Recently at a match an opponent made a mistake and hit a high lob which I would be easily able to smash for a point and demonstrate to my child how to make an overhand smash - while back peddling I tripped and fell flat on my a_ _ which greatly delighted my opponents and my child. All I could do was laugh. I sometimes forget the score and at times have trouble remembering names but always remember faces. It is not the end of the world or something to be ashamed of it is just a fact of life.

    Note: anyone who would base a vote for any individual on an internet post or story has more problems than could be possibly handled here.

    After hearing one of his predecessors praise the excellent health care system of Nambia, complain about American jobs being moved to Thighland, talk about watching the first responders just after the World Trade Centers collapsed on 7/11, talk about how the Continental Army took over the airports from the British during the Revolutionary War, and very many other similar gaffes, these sorts of things just don't stand out anymore.

    It's been more than six years since the last mostly competent person sat in that office. Both major parties need to ditch their front runners and put up someone younger and better.

    Giving credit where credit is due.

    I recently sent two very critical emails to Joe Biden thru the contact the President website.

    The emails were about the current immigration crisis in the US and his recent criticism of another part of our Government System- the Supreme Court.

    Today I received two very courteous replies that detailed his position and why he did what he did.

    I appreciate the replies and time it took to express why he felt the way he did and why he took the actions he did.

    You don't have to agree with someone to respect them. I understand his actions and his reasoning even if I might not agree.

    It is a wonderful country where you can contact your leaders and they respond to you, even if you disagree with them.

    The responses indicated the person took the time to read and understand my comments and reply directly to them- whether a staffer or the President himself I appreciated it greatly.

    that's crazy, i had no idea you could contact them. my uncle was an engineer, and always had an solution to the nations technical problems. he would write letter after letter, but never got a response.

    At least Joe showed up and showed empathy. How many times have those at a disaster drop in turned it into all about POTUS showing off and not trying to understand the needs and showing concern. At least he didn't throw rolls of toilet paper.

    I'm President of a home owners association at 80 years old. I have no business doing this and didn't want the job. I doubt I'm doing half as well as I did in the same job 14 years ago. Is my memory as good, heck no. I took the job because there was no one else with any background willing to do the job. I have 6 more months to go and then like the Roman emperor who returned to the plow, I will resign the office as promised (god willing I can find someone else) even though my term would have 2 more years.

    But I'll bet I raise questions of why we are still doing "this" and is it still appropriate 10 times as often as my younger directors. Age does allow perspective if you allow yourself to reflect.

    I agree, no one this old should have the office of POTUS or SCOTUS or Senator or Representative. Term limits (legal) and age limits (by practice of voting).

    I'll vote for what I perceive as the better of the choices I'm offered if my gerrymandered special interests coddled vote adverse politicians allow me a say. And I'll contribute too.
