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.

    Biden is a good man. I would have voted for him again but he’s doing the best thing for everyone, especially his family, by ending it now.

    I will always respect him for what he’s done.

          Biden could end the war with a phone call. Dude’s responsible for genocide, sorry.

            How? Short of authorizing military action against Israel, how? We could revoke military aid, we could get allies to potentially do the same, but I highly doubt we could stop Israel without any fight. They have enough of a homegrown defense industry and enough manpower and political will that they would deal with anyone who’ll give them the raw material needed to continue.

              Israel cannot survive without US support. I didn’t realize that would be a contentious statement.

        It’s more like a Swiss banker. Yeah, you’ll help people do a genocide but you don’t get one of the really bad circles in Hell.
