Bidens injury at end of November included a hairline fracture. It is not unusual for a fracture in the foot to take up to 6months to heal. He has been far too active for that type of injury, IMO, and I notice his limp has been more pronounced.
Biden doesnt need to give a shyt what any RW rag thinks about putting that boot back on, but, he does need to heal properly this time.

Another lifelong Republican leaves GOP

&t=0sSenate Republicans siding with Trump are hopelessly evil. They applaud wrong
as they oppose everything right and good.
They do not deserve benefit of the doubt.
Their evil needs to be pointed out every day.
They do not love this country or its people.
This isnt just a political difference. They are psychopaths.

The price of your soul is worth less than the cab fare
That gets you home before the living end.
The dead part of you leaves me with a blessing
From a destruction of your beauty, your self-hatred, your self-pity...
Axios: How Charlotte's favorite millennial politician dad decided senate run
https://www.charlotteagenda.com/246196/exclusive-how-charlottes-favorite-millennial-politician-dad-decided-to-run-for-senate/......The day he sent that Im thinking about it email, I asked Jackson if I could follow him through the decision-making process.
I wasnt so much interested in the politics (we have two years to cover that) but the personal side of a family guy considering a big pivot in life.
It was clear early on that he had his mind set on running. But it needed to be a family decision. Before anything could happen, he said 2-year-old daughter Avery needed to complete potty-training.
In Charlotte, one of Americas top cities for millennials, Jacksons become a sort of local icon of his generation posting pictures of hanging ornaments with his daughter one day, then explainers on policy and laws the next.
Hes famous, though, because of how ordinary he seems. Hes approaching 40 yeah, millennials are entering midlife and hes weighing what hes done vs. he wants to do, responsibility vs. personal joy, and what his generation inherited vs. what theyll leave behind.
They were teenagers and college students on September 11, 2001, and entered adulthood strung to ideals and a certainty about right and wrong.
That idealism faded some after the 2008 recession and politically volatile 2010s but still many, like Jackson, believe more in their ability to change the world than the worlds ability to change them.
