He will be wearing a rather large boot  at the inauguration . .....

Given that he managed to kick Trump out of the White House without the boot, I'd imagine kick starting his presidency won't present much of a challenge, with or without it.

The kick start  would begin   "AT THE INAUGURATION"  as in " booting him out of office" and specific to his refusal to concede. Sorry you missed the humor in the arrangement of the words ...graphics are not allowed here so I left it to your imagination....Trumps fans were getting touchy so I left out his name.

You sure fall for the alt right conspiracy theory websites.  And, as usual, just bash.

 

You are aware Trump hid everything about his health issues from the public.  Even had his doc lie about his physical.  But then again, you'd never learn about that from your news sources.  You sure fall for the divisive and fake news articles.

Here's a better report.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/29/us/politics/biden-foot-boot.html

The president-elect visited an orthopedic specialist, and while initial X-rays did not show an obvious fracture, a more detailed CT scan showed hairline cracks.

This is bizarre, if this had happened to Trump there would be non stop coverage to show him walking, limping, whatever. Haven't seen this on CNN at all.

 

Please calm down, explain what conspiracy you're talking about. I'm confused about what you mean.

Biden’s doctor initially said the 78-year-old former vice president “sustained a sprain of his right foot” and that there was “no obvious fracture,” but a follow-up CT scan did find hairline fractures in the mid-foot.

 

Wonder if Biden will get the same scrutiny as Trump did. If so we'd be seeing video of biden walking after accident.

 

what scrutiny is needed?  the old man slipped and banged up his ankle.

he was driven to a nearby clinic.  seems the clinic may not have had the latest high-tech wizardry.

 

there were no denials.

there were no claims of fake news.

there was no spin.

biden did not blame the russians or the chinese or hillary or the deep state for his injury.

If it had been Trump it would be nonstop news of how funny it was that he got hurt playing with  a dog. 

 

No doubt it won't slow Biden down. I'm simply emphasizing the double standard we have here.

have you even bothered to look?   a couple seconds on the youtubes gives you "proof" that the media is all about getting video of the commander in chief limping, bumping his noggin' while entering air force one, tripping, etc.  and of course struggling to hold a glass of water or negotiate a ramp at west point.  the cameras are all trained on the leaders looking for any signs of trouble.  why even the commies aren't immune!  just a couple of months ago video and photos of the north korean leader were being dissected for symptoms of skin cancer.

 

of course you didn't look.  you would have easily found "obama trips on stage" on the cbs youtube channel.

 

"Joe Biden seen limping with fractured foot after Trump tells president-elect to 'get well soon'

is available for your viewing on the telegraph channel.

 

it's just that some are more concerned with their image.  joe has dogs, trump does not.

 

“I wouldn’t mind having one, honestly, but I don’t have any time. How would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn?”

In 1968, Biden earned a Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law, ranked 76th in his class of 85,[21][22] and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969.[27] While in school, he received student draft deferments,[28] and afterward was classified as unavailable for military service due to asthma.

Asthma is interesting because its a legitimate reason as opposed to fake bone spurs. I am curious if President Elect Biden still has asthma. Personally I've had it since childhood but I'm pretty sure that many people stop having it as they age. I think when related to allergies.

Wow, getting a little defensive aren't you?   I made no statement about Trump.  I made no reference to Trump.  A bone that does not heal properly can end up with a spur.   

I don't believe Joe actively avoided the military.  His deferments are a matter of public record, unlike the current resident in the White House.

Trump got 4 deferments for bone spurs (fake) and one academic.  By a doctor renting office space in his father's building! He's a draft dodger.  Plain and simple. 

 

And, he bashes some of our most highly decorated and patriotic vets.  McCain was one.  Disgusting to do such a thing.  Stunning you still try to back Trump.

There is non-stop coverage!  It's all over the news.  The conspiracy you posted, from a dodgy website, is trying to make it look like he covered it up...ala Trump style.  He didn't.  He was upfront and passed along all the details.  Stand up man for doing so.

Biden got deferment as well, plain and simple. It's funny how we judge others to suit our needs. Wonder how many viet nam vets are posting here. I'll bet a few went the deferment route.

A deferment, not 5.  And he doesn't bash other vets, unlike Trump.  Nothing wrong with deferments.  But bone spurs?  By a doctor beholden to your father?  And from a very wealthy, young man who was active in sports?  Come on.  You can't buy all that BS.  Seriously....

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

Except Trump has most definitely called McCain a loser — in fact, he was so proud of doing so in 2015 that he tweeted a headline of him saying exactly that.

Assuming he's healed he can give trump the boot on Jan 20.

 

 

Sprained ankles must be one of the leading injuries in the U.S.? I mean for those who can actually walk down a ramp.

I'm on a mobile phone and can't get my phone to link to this article but Newsweek reports that Qanon supporters believe that Biden's new boot is a actually a ruse to hide his ankle monitor. They claim he's been secretly arrested.

Lucky for me I never had it but there were some kids at school that did.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma

 

In 2015, 358 million people globally had asthma, up from 183 million in 1990.[8][19] It caused about 397,100 deaths in 2015,[9] most of which occurred in the developing world.[3] Asthma often begins in childhood,[3] and the rates have increased significantly since the 1960s.

 

I had no idea that it could be nasty enough to kill people.

Wimped out of serving in Vietnam and wheedled a deferment. The rich don't fight America's wars, they merely start them (and make a nice dollar out of them).

 

Plays with a dog and now limps around with a broken ankle. Unpresidential. Feeble old fart already showing signs of strain in his first real job in his long, pampered life. He won't last the four years; make way for President Kamala.

1 deferment instead of 5 for Trump.  Bone spurs?  Come on.  You don't really believe that?  Biden started out poor.  Trump started out a millionaire at age 3.

 

What's wrong with playing around with your dog?  It's what many families in the US do.  He's old, so is Trump.  Mandatory retirement age for politicians should be 70. 

 

Biden can take the next 4 years easier than the obese Trump.  And Kamala would make a fine interim president.  Unlike Pence.
