You had to include Trump’s tweet. Does TPM have any intention to ever get over him?

Well, one thing Trump was never going to do was injure himself playing with a pet, never having had a pet, or anything he had to demonstrate empathy towards, his whole life.

So who else thinks this is just an excuse to reinforce Biden’s leg to maximize the impact when Biden has to literally kick Trump out of the White House?

I’m confused by this headline, I thought Trump was given the boot?

Nope.

Look how many new members TPM got in the reign of the Dump, why would they give him up?
Here’s to a speedy recovery Pres. Biden.

Good point.

Although Biden already kicked Trump’s ass quite convincingly in the election, there’s nothing wrong with continuing to do so in the courts and the recounts.

And literally kicking his ass is something many would be happy to see - especially with that boot.

The story is about the dog.

I kind of thought there was a chance that he played fetch with Jared… But then the only thing he could hurt is his throwing arm.

Joe is in good shape physically and this won’t slow him down. I find it refreshing that we will have a POTUS who plays with his pets. It shows a kindness and other positive attitudes that are totally missing in Trump.

Obviously this means Trump should be awarded the Presidency.

Wonder who wrote Trump’s tweet? He’s incapable of wishing anyone well.
I, however, am not. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Pres-elect Biden.
I also trust that Major was not injured, or Biden would have taken him to the vet before he took himself to the doctor,
Dog people are like that.

Live updates: Biden to receive first intelligence briefing as he pushes ahead with naming key aides

John Wagner

A coalition of liberal political groups is pressuring Biden not to choose defense expert Michèle Flournoy as secretary of defense, arguing that the Obama administration veteran could push for a “potentially catastrophic” military confrontation with China.

The very last thing we need is someone that is hostile in this position.

Look, 90 percent of the story is literally about how Joseph Robinette Biden hurt his foot the other day. If they really wanted to make it about Trump they could have a screaming headline, “President Is Asshole about President-Elect’s Foot” but they didn’t play it that way. Honestly I don’t see a problem here. :smile:

I agree, but Trump really had nothing to do with the story. His tweet was an irrelevant little factoid they could have easily left out.
