So my wife comes down tonight while I'm watching the game to tell me her cousin, who has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, is gonna be taking "a dog wormer" for her cancer. "It's not ivermectin".

"Is it fenbendazole(sp)? Yeah that's big on my conspiracy theory board." (easiest way for me to explain you guys)

Stunned her I've known about that for years and she's just hearing about it.

Does the POTUS and VP usually dance with members of the armed forces?

@TheRealJohnCooper , when are the built in AI capabilities upgrade to the site happening?

The President of the United States (POTUS) and the Vice President (VP) have occasionally been seen dancing with members of the armed forces, particularly during events like the White House Correspondents' Dinner, holiday celebrations, or military balls. However, it's not a regular or expected part of their official duties. Here are a few points to consider:

- **Military Balls:** Both the President and Vice President might attend military balls where dancing can be part of the festivities. For instance, they might dance with military spouses or service members themselves as a gesture of respect or camaraderie.

- **Public Events:** During public events, especially those aimed at boosting morale or celebrating military service, there might be moments where dancing occurs. This could be spontaneous or part of a planned event segment.

- **Media Coverage:** These moments often get significant media attention, giving the impression that it might happen more frequently than it does. It's more about capturing a human, relatable side of political figures.

- **Cultural Context:** In the U.S., there's a tradition of celebrating military service which sometimes includes social events where dancing might occur. However, these interactions are more symbolic and less about routine social engagements.

So while it does happen, it's not a standard or frequent occurrence in the daily or even weekly schedules of the President or Vice President. If you're interested in specific instances, I can search for notable examples where this has occurred, would you like that?

Here are some specific instances where the President or First Lady have danced with members of the armed forces during inaugural balls:

- **Barack Obama's Inauguration (2009 and 2013):**
- **2009:** At the Commander in Chief's Ball, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama danced with members of the military. This was one of ten inaugural balls held for his first inauguration. President Obama danced with Sgt. Margaret H. Herrera, while Michelle Obama danced with Marine Corps Sgt. Elidio Guillen.[](https://www.army.mil/article/15960/servicemembers_have_ball_at_inaugural_event)
- **2013:** During his second inauguration, at the Commander in Chief's Ball, President Obama and Michelle Obama again danced with members of the military. Air Force Staff Sgt. Bria D. Nelson danced with the President, and Marine Gunnery Sgt. Timothy D. Easterling danced with the First Lady.[](https://nation.time.com/2013/01/22/at-the-commander-in-chiefs-inaugural-ball/)[](https://www.army.mil/article/94700/obama_thanks_service_members_families_at_cinc_inaugural_ball)

- **Donald Trump's Inauguration (2017):**
- At the "Salute to Our Armed Services Ball", President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump danced with members of the military. This event was one of three official balls Trump attended.[](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/20/us/politics/inaugural-balls.html)[](https://www.npr.org/2017/01/21/510917522/photos-trump-ends-inauguration-day-his-way-with-dances-at-3-balls)

These instances highlight moments where the President and First Lady chose to honor or engage with the military by sharing a dance, which isn't a standard practice but can occur during these celebratory events, especially when there's a ball specifically honoring the armed services.
