Biden Falls Again
FLASHBACK: Biden Mocked Trump's Ability to Walk, Claimed Biden's Own Walking Ability Was Streets Ahead

This time at an Air Force Academy graduation.

Before getting to the main dish: Let's start with a coquettish-yet-bold amuse bouche of Biden walking the wrong way off the stage, and having to be guided back to the correct exit:

And now: the pièce de rèsistance.

Daily Mail:

President Biden has fallen on stage while handing out diplomas at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

The 80-year-old commander-in-chief stumbled and fell his knees and then got back up during the graduation ceremony in a worrying incident likely to spark more concerns he is too old to run for a second term.

He walked away without help and appeared to point to a sandbag on the stage that he appeared to trip over.

It is just his latest stumble after he fell up the stairs of Air Force One last year and toppled over on his bike near his Delaware beach house.

The pool reporter said: 'POTUS was walking back to his seat when fell. He appeared to have tripped on a black sandbag on the stage.

'When he fell, pointed to the black sandbag suggesting that's what he tripped on'.

During PRIDE MONTH, Black Sandbag? DURING PRIDE MONTH?!?!

Breaking: Merrick Garland has just sent 40 Angry Democrat Shysters to indict the Black Sandbag.

FLASHBACK: When Biden mocked the way Trump walked and claimed that he, Biden, was just aces at walking.

Thanks to JackStraw.

"Talking In Threes" Update:

Sandbags are like pride, in that when you are sandbagging, you fill the bag *stifled laughter* with sand, then you take it...and tie it...at the top. Now we also make the bags black, to remind ourselves of how racist this country is and how to combat that, the sand of life must be bagged.

I'm at that age where every doctor's visit begins with the question, "Have you had any falls recently?" Falling once is an accident. Falling multiple times is a pattern and a pretty significant indication that the end is fast approaching.

Yes. Older people cannot take many falls without breaking something that can't be put right again.

BTW, there's no real explanation for why pièce de rèsistance means what it does, including in French.

"most important piece or feature," 1831, from French pièce de rèsistance, originally "the most substantial dish in a meal." Literally "piece of resistance;" there seems to be disagreement as to the exact signification.

Rèsistance in French means resistance, and opposition, but it also means endurance or stamina. Maybe pièce de rèsistance means the part that endures, that part that stays with you, the part you remember?

I dunno. Quelle mystère.
