Folks, please. President Biden did NOT "hand out the diplomas". He saluted and

shook hands with all 921 graduating cadets. The diplomas were handed out by AFA staff. When all 921 had saluted and clasped hands, he turned to return to his seat., and tripped over the sandbag, which was apparently holding one of the screens in place.

So far, every single report has gotten the diploma thing wrong.

was and maybe at least a little of what he was part of. And some will be exposed to more of a reality that's part of most peoples' notions of what a president should be.

Anything that stretches the bubble toward the real world a bit.

The story is that he fell, and they'll play that as long as they can.

I believe very little of what the media says anyway.

People here seem to believe most of what they see in the news, and they believe EVERYTHING they read on twitter.
