FFS, he's 78 years old, what do you expect? He shouldn't even be walking up steps on his own.

Just saw the video clip to this and that was the third slip he'd had going up the stairs :roll:

It was funny when it was Trump! Shouldn't be walking the stairs on his own because he's 78?

He can barely walk or talk, he shouldn't be President... he should he giving out Worthers Original to kids while they rub down the hairs on his legs.

I get that people despised Trump but how on earth did the US come to this. From a vibrant Obama (I'm no Democrat but he was very Presidential like) to comlpete self destruction.

No way on this earth he lasts a first term.

Obama nearly fell down the steps of Air Force One and Ford actually did fall down, so Biden's just keeping up a long standing tradition. The only reason I no longer fall down steps is that I'm in a ground floor flat now. :D

getting off might be even trickier!

to be fair to him, dress shoes and carpeted steps aren't a great combo.

Trump doesn't need help with the stairs, just need someone to place the banana skins. :)

Assuming that you could lay at 6.4 that's equivalent to 4.34% annual interest on your stake assuming that 1. you leave it for the almost 4 years and 2. no one with that name actually wins.

You're only laying him now?! I laid him as soon as the market opened. Having said that I'd rather have a relatively decent man like him as a leader than the last fella.

Some interesting prices in this market. How Pence is so short I have no idea... If he ran I don't think he'd even finish in the top 3 of the Republican primary, he has the charisma of a toilet roll. I think Cruz and Rubio are big and depending on how toxic the next few years are in American politics you could probably expect the hardliner prices to shorten like Hawley, Cotton etc...

On the Dem side, there's not a lot there to be honest. Don't see BIden running again, Harris would definitely run but If Dems want to hold the office of the president after 2024 I think you'd need to see a new face and not one that fought out the last primary, that was a weak bunch.

Nice to see you turned up to the show.... especially considering you had enough of the last election thread and the forum content in your opinion is low grade.

If you're laying only, there must be a fair chance of getting a green book and removing all liabilities well before the 4 years are up, and then you hope that something comes out of the woodwork late and gets backed down to 3.0. :)
