I remember when the press went out its way to make Ford look clumsy.
Heh....love it.
“Cause he’s a Day Tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It takes him so long
To find out
He wont find out.
Tripper Joe
The Bounding Biden Act was very calculated....and apparently pre-planned.
Biden's flubs, forgetfulness, and his shuffling oldster walk have made him a target of derision.
Most significant was that after the first fall, he continued bounding up the stairs....then fell..... again and again.
He obviously had rehearsed the Bounding Biden Act and was incapable of reversing course.
Plus typical of a prog/lib's stupidity....he probably thought nobody'd notice that he tripped.
Heh, same thought this AM
NOBODY rushed to help, not even a travelling medic
Here's an earlier event...no umbrella or person to hold it. Hard to believe that umbrellas stored on AF-1 weren't available. We also don't know if there was a stumble incident at that time.
Can we surmise that a Do Not Resuscitate general order has been given by the puppeteers?
“3. Same results: They both end up on their knees. Should be known as the Kneepad twins.
Did you notice that none of the Marine Guards or Secret Service went to help “Joe Is Down” Biden. Interesting!
What do they know that we can only surmise about?”

They have all been given their copy of “the rules of engagement”. They followed them as trained.
Many of us are old enough to remember the treatment of Gerald Ford. Sure, he was no true conservative, but he had a lot more principle and he did serve his country honorably. For the time he served as President, he was universally and relentlessly portrayed as an incompetent klutz.
He was a star athlete in college, and in the USN during WWII, an extra duty assigned to him was being in charge of physical fitness on the ship. Here he was playing basketball on an elevator on the USS Monterey:
And he was no slouch in his service, either.
During Typhoon Cobra in 1944, the USS Monterey was damaged by a fire, which was started by several of the ship's aircraft tearing loose from their cables and colliding during the storm. The ship was afire from stem to stern, and in the very short range TBS (Talk Between Ship) discussion which was the only kind possible during the typhoon, a talker on a passing ship was heard to say "There goes the Monterey...", meaning there was no way she could survive those fires.
During the Typhoon, Ford got off watch and narrowly avoided becoming a casualty himself. After he left his battle station on the bridge of the ship in the early morning of December 18, he went onto the flight deck to get to his quarters faster, and as he did, the ship rolled twenty-five degrees, which caused Ford to lose his footing and slide toward the edge of the deck on the port side of the ship. He slid all the way across the slick flight deck and would have gone over the side to absolute certain death (no ship or launch could have gotten him out of the water) if it had not been for his physical prowess.
As he tobogganed on his rump, scrambling wildly trying to grab onto something, his feet hit a raised steel edge on the flight deck and he catapulted into the air. As he went through the air, he managed to flip and catch hold of a railing as he went over it towards the sea. Pretty astonishing in that sea and light state.
He went back to his rack, but smelled smoke. He got up again and made his way (carefully) to the hanger deck which was completely ablaze, with burning wrecks of planes, engines, and support equipment sliding to and fro in the pitching ship, and went into the inferno with a fire party.
Agree or disagree with his competency as a President or his policies, he deserved far better treatment than he got from the Left.
Excellent post, RL! As a teen, I had the honor of meeting President Ford, twice, after he stepped down. My dad was a business associate and friend of his. I had been with him both on the ski slopes of Vail and then Colorado’s Columbine golf course. President Ford was a strong athletic presence in both venues, and had a very sharp mind (having somehow remembered my name the second meeting). In Vail, I had the honor of playing with Misty & Liberty, outside of his Chalet. I thought it was so surreal at the time as all I could think about was how they were portrayed as stuffed animals on SNL with Chevy Chase tripping over them. Anyway, I miss those days.
The readers’ comments are priceless.
I remember when every little stumble of Gerald Ford was played up by the news and TV comedies.
I was wondering if this would be on national news.
The media is the communications arm of the democrat party.
Don’t believe anything you read in the democrat media.
ANYTHING !!

I did not know all that about him and his service record.
Thanks for sharing.
And you are correct. it’s the double standard I object to.
He’s ben on a trip for a very long time the 60s were good to him.
“I didn’t see one salute from Buy Dung”
That SNL focus turned me off to Chevy Chase, even though I had no idea he was such a Leftist. I realized some years back the guy is a Moonbat.
Get ready for President Harris.
