I do it frequently. Never down, always up. Mother would tell me to pick up my feet and stop stumbling.

Maybe he just lost his balance - we've all done that.

DU sure is a strange place sometimes.

He missed a step a couple of times while trotting up them. I've done that too.

I always figured it was better to fall UP rather than DOWN.

just as falling steps is easy with my balance issues. As for SNL, my gut says no.

Maybe he should start entering and exiting the plane from the cargo hatch in the belly of the plane, like The Former Guy was doing in the last months of his term.

I have broken bones from a few of my falls and I’m much, much younger than President Biden. I’m pretty athletic for the most part, but I can really be a klutz. I don’t mess around with stairs, just a slow steady upwards or downwards momentum lol.

Or the shrub had to dodge a shoe...
and the senator that fell off a stage can't remember his name though, maybe Bob Dole
I've never done either of those but I have stumbled on stairs many times in my life.
Joe is in good shape.

Joe and I both have big floppy puppy feet. Practically clown feet. So what? We still don't embezzle government funds or tell people to drink bleach to cure a virus.

doggie play time with an injured foot, could have injured the knee a bit too. We know what age Biden was when we elected him. He never lied about his health, like that other guy.
