Unfortunate. Also, for all you comparers to Trump, it's probably worth remembering Trump's "carefulness" when, say, walking down ramps.

Either way, may Biden recover very quickly.

It will be interesting to compare how the US media cover this , compared to how they barely covered the Trump health issues (like his weird ramp walking you mentioned, or his still unexplained visit to Walter Reed Hospital last year).
 
In other news, more Biden Admin names leaked.

Neera Tanden: director of the Office of Management and Budget
Cecilia Rouse (Princeton economist): chair of the Council of Economic Advisers
Wally Adeyemo (president of the Obama Foundation): Deputy Treasury Secretary

Flat-out lies and mindless drivel are nothing to say "ouch" about.

Another Trump lesson: t's not enough to simply yell from the back row how much better you could do the job when you're doing everything you can to make sure you don't get it, you also have to call everyone pointing out the errors in your claims dishonest. False news, lies, whatever, just make sure you never admit to, say, preaching to the forum that proud Democratic Socialist Sanders would have won over the Cubans in Florida? Or claiming that no moderate has won the Presidency?

Some mouth-breathers will say this is proof Biden is a weak old man, but my Mom broke her leg when a neighbor's dog ran into her and she was only in her 40's.

I’d wager Biden could go down a ramp and back up it a dozen times while Trump was still trying to go down the first time.

ETA: even with a twisted ankle.

While playing with his dog, Biden slipped, and twisted his ankle.
He will be examined this afternoon by an orthopedist “out of an abundance of caution.”

CNN is now reporting that he has hairline fractures:

Biden's doctor says he has hairline fractures in his foot after slipping while playing with his dog


Washington, DC (CNN)President-elect Joe Biden has hairline fractures in his "mid-foot" and will "likely require a walking boot for several weeks," his doctor said in a statement Sunday, after Biden slipped while playing with his dog, Major, Saturday.

"Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture, but his clinical exam warranted more detailed imaging," Dr. Kevin O'Connor said Sunday. "Follow-up CT scan confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect Biden's lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the mid-foot. It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks."

Earlier Sunday, Biden's office announced he was going to be examined by an orthopedist "out of an abundance of caution" after he twisted his ankle playing with the dog.

On Sunday evening, President Donald Trump tweeted, "Get well soon!"

If it's this rough with the dog, wait'll he gets the cat!
 
And Biden's mishap has led to perhaps the strangest Trump tweet of all time:

"Get Well soon!"

:confused:

Since clearly he does not have any good wishes for Biden, this is either sarcastic or perhaps at least in his mind he is already considering a run in 2024.
If that's the case, he probably thinks (wrongfully so, but everything Trump thinks is wrong) that he would be able to crush an 82 year old Biden. He would fear any younger opponent more so than Biden. With 4 years of Biden gaffes Trump could compile an even bigger collection of videos that supposedly show Biden's dementia.

This nomination will be an interesting case, as far as Senate confirmation is concerned.
Neera Tanden is very active on Twitter, and there must be quite a few juicy tweets from her about right wing idiots. But she also sometimes engaged with left wing supporters, and not always in, let's say, too polite ways.

It will be "fun" having Republican senators vote against her because of bad tweets. Those same senators, who these last five years, never had the time to read Trump's tweets, and anyway, "tweets don't matter."

Not that the hypocrisy test has any value if there's a "R" after your name, mind you.
