Of course, ice cream was involved.
President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, hosted a thank you event on Thursday for hundreds of staffers who worked on the reelection campaign that he chose to exit nearly three weeks ago.
Judging by the security tents, the location offered a dose of political nostalgia: The staffers met with Biden at The Queen, a music venue that played a critical role in his successful race for presidency in 2020, when he often spoke to the public from the theater’s stage.
After having dropped out of the race, Biden wanted to show his appreciation for the staff’s work over the past year and their continued efforts in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, who succeeded him as the Democratic nominee. That’s according to a person familiar with the president’s plans who shared details of the events but insisted on anonymity to discuss the arrangements.
The event featured food and, naturally for Biden, his beloved ice cream.
People in here eating up propaganda like it’s ice cream.
Apparently I’m the only one that remembers Biden loudly declaring “I’m not going anywhere!” right after he completely choked in that debate.
He was forced out. I really wish people would stop acting like he’s some kind of a hero. People would still be trying to convince us that he’s not too old if the DNC hadn’t straight up forced him out.
A whole lot of short memories for politics.
And here, dear readers, is a wild someone angered by the state of everything today. They no longer can believe good people exist and, even making an exception for the bad, that good choices can be made. So they seek out truths that match their perspective and attempt to mold in reasons that don’t quite fit what they’re trying to say. Moreover, they forget that at the end of any single day a good choice was made, which is sort of the point.
Hahaha.
The person drinking straight from the propaganda fountain saying that I’m the delusional one.
At least I can identify propaganda.
Oh, and news flash, we are in an exceptionally low point in American history. Everything is actually falling apart. You think that having the oldest president ever who is clearly just a puppet is a sign of political health? And he’s supposed to be the good guy?
Get real. There are a number of serious crises looming over the American people and our government is too concerned with lining their own pockets and making corporations more important than voters, and we are doing nothing about it.
True, but he did step down. He deserves a scoop.
I just don’t believe he had a choice in the matter.
The guy barely knows where he is from moment to moment.
Wait, are you taking about Trump?
He originally said he’d be a one term president. He only changed that stance when he believed staying in the race was necessary to beat Trump. Once it was clear that he wasn’t the best candidate to defeat Trump, he stepped aside and immediately and publicly backed Kamala. How hard is this to understand? Not hard at all, which is why I think you’re full of shit.
If you think that that old ass man that kept falling down, making up fair stories, and usually didn’t know where he was was actually making these decisions then you are absolutely dreaming.
Dude was so obviously a puppet. I promise you that he didn’t make this decision.
You promise me? Oh well then, guess I better trust you. Nobody is this dumb dude…
Excellent answer.
Whether it was planned or just fell out this way, this is probably the best outcome we could hope for. Trump and Putin and their assortment of flying monkeys were lining up the ‘he’s just OLD’ attacks, hoping to ride that into the White House in January. Then Biden withdrew and now the ‘he’s just OLD’ points right back at Trump.
Shitheads like abracaDavid above keep harping on Biden’s age when Biden’s not even in the race again really makes me question how much the attacks against Biden were astroturfed by Trump and Putin (but I repeat myself).
It’s getting so bad for Trump that he’s out there fanning conspiracy theories during his monthly rally (singular) that Biden is going to put himself back on the ballot at the DNC. This all just sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking from a loser who wishes he were still competing against another old guy. Trump can’t even keep up with Harris and Walz, which is why he has Peter Thiel’s blood boy out there doing most of the campaigning. Sad and weird.
Chef’s kiss on this.
He was lying to the GOP so they’d keep focusing all of their propaganda on him until after the RNC, and then when he dropped out and endorsed Kamala, the Rs had absolutely no idea what to do and she’s been wiping the floor with them ever since. It was a mastermind 4D chess move.
Hahaha oh man that’s a good one.
The DNC is their own biggest enemy. They’ve been fumbling elections for decades.
Acting like this was some kind of mastermind plan and not just pure dumb luck requires some intense faith paired with mental gymnastics.
No wonder people have started calling y’all Blue Maga.
missed an opportunity to mention the genocide.
So bringing up the genocide is bad?
No, it should be brought up.
The platonic ideal of bringing up the genocide is good. But you McNuggetHeads keep bringing up the genocide as an nonsense excuse to abstain from voting against an even bigger genocide, so when a centrist like yourself brings up the genocide, yes it is bad.
What propaganda are you talking about? He’s leaving office, so what is left to manipulate here other than his legacy, which doesn’t really impact anyone?
