1. And she precedes him up the ramp

The old gentlemen's code says that the lady goes up first in case she stumbles he can catch her. Going down, the gentleman goes first so that the lady falls into him rather than down the stairs if she stumbles.

Also, it's just a nice and respectful thing to do.

[Walleye]

5. Correct. An old school gentlemen. So nice to see

[malaise]

2. That's adorable

The Insurrectionist in CHief would have crushed it.

[JuJuChen]

3. ...

4. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if it was raining, he'd hold the umbrella

for her and be able to close it by himself.

[Tommy Carcetti]

6. To be fair, the Former Office Occupant once did something similar.

[underpants]

10. I guess Joe didn't stop and scream at the press for 5 minutes

Because I’ve seen that done.

[OnDoutside]

7. Joking apart, you would expect that grass to be in better condition.

[getagrip_already]

11. Better for what? Certainly not for pollinators or the environment.

Too many people in this country have been brainwashed that only grass is an acceptable ground cover and billions must be spent to poison, burn, and crush any other plant. Then they pour billions of tons of fertilizer on it causing runoff problems.

It has created virtual desserts for pollinators and is poisoning waterways.

Let the damned dandelions, and clover, and anything else that flowers just grow. Green lawns are a sign of a right wing mentality.

[llmart]

14. +1000

Can we get rid of this obsession we have with perfecting our lawns? Too many chemicals, too many noise polluting blowers/weed whackers/edgers, mowing grass to an eighth of an inch of it's life, etc. etc.

[newdayneeded]

28. Thank you!

My dandelion covered lawn thanks you for the support.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Thank you!

And, let's not forget all of the pesticides and fungicdes that get used on these monocultures, which wind up killing pollinators, and also wind up in our waterways, killing everything else.

[OnDoutside]

29. You should take your own advice and "getagrip" ! This is an area where helicopters landed for the

President, in the middle of Washington DC ffs ! It's not a meadow beside a leafy glade.

[getagrip_already]

31. So what? Did potus mind the flowers? Did flotus?

So what if it is a public park. There especially we should set a standard and roll back the only green is good mandate from monsanto and dow.

Why should you be so overly concerned with a few flowers under his feet or in a park?

Let open spaces go back to meadows. We don't need short grass for anything.

[OnDoutside]

32. It was an observation not an edict. For a park in the middle of DC,

grass (which I referred to in my post), looked patchy and not in great shape. To want meadows in a park close to the White House is a nonsense suggestion.

[getagrip_already]

34. I think meadows are beutiful... especially in a city

So we will have to disagree on that one.

I could care less if clover grows on golf courses.

[Treefrog]

18. I purposely allow dandelions to grow in patches in my yard.

The bees love them.

[OnDoutside]

30. And do helicopters land for the President there ?

[llmart]

33. It's not a golf course, for cripes sake.

Obsession with perfect grass is what is decimating the bee population.

[PunkinPi]

8. So sweet...

here are a couple stills.

President Biden picked up a dandelion for his wife, Dr. Flotus Biden, before boarding Marine One for Georgia. Chivalry is back in the White House.

[llmart]

15. At least he can still bend over as opposed to the lardass former guy.

Also, I love Jill's dress and shoes and I'm not a dress and shoes woman myself. This is just a classy first couple all the way around.

[lunatica]

19. I love the way Dr JILL Biden dresses

And her shoes always match the colors in her dresses. She is classy and I think she makes a wonderful First Lady!

[COL Mustard]

23. I'm With You

She’s wearing a very stylish dress! Such a classy couple.

[GoCubsGo]

25. As if the former guy would even think of doing something like that.

And, in the microscopically low chance that he did, his wife would just slap away his hand, like she always does. The Bidens are such a refreshing change from that shit.

On edit: Actually, it's really just getting back to normal. We often saw similar affection between the Obama, and even between Dumya and Laura. The Formers were an anomaly. A horrible, nightmare of an anomaly.

[Bayard]

20. First Class Romantic

I love this couple!



And her outfit, once again. Gorgeous dress, coordinating shoes and mask. Sure beats--I Don't Care. Do you? Jill's beauty shines through, with no artificiality.

[IronLionZion]

21. I like how the First Lady's mask matches her dress

very classy

[JuJuChen]

9. sue him for being romantic with his beloved wife!

[Grins]

12. Can't believe it. Dandelions on the White House lawn????

I blame Trump.

[Under The Radar]

13. Right! I know that we have paid for championship Bermuda out there...

Leave it to Trump to mess up the grass

[joetheman]

17. They make good wine and tea. nt

[tavernier]

16. I adore that!

I was raised in Michigan and the first flowers I would bring to my mother were dandelions and the first flowers my kids would bring to me were dandelions. They are such a pretty happy flower and so many neat things can be done with them, including blowing the fuzzies all around and watching them fly through the air. I have earrings with little dandelion seeds. I am so happy that these people are normal!

[packman]

22. I remember my mother and two brothers picking dandelion greens

in the spring before they flowered. She would cook some bacon bits and make a bacon/vinegar dressing for the greens and then top the whole thing with a chopped boiled egg. Damn, now I want to go out and get some dandelion greens.

26. Hey! Trump picked up a dose of the clap to share with Melania. That's pretty romantic.

[llmart]

27. That was laugh out loud funny. Sadly it's true.

No wonder she always had either a scowl on her face when she was with him or a phony smile. The only time she really smiled was when she was flirting with Trudeau or Obama.
