President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, has hosted a thank you event for hundreds of staffers who worked on the reelection campaign.

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.

    I don’t know if you misread that or what but that’s not what I mean. I really, really don’t know if you’re genuinely misunderstanding on purpose, but my intention with that statement was that people should let the man retire in peace.

    That’s all. I wasn’t trying to suggest anything else.

    Edit: Oh, checked your post history and turns out you’re a right wing conspiracy theorist. So that’s what this is all about.

      I’m a right-wing conspiracy theorist!? You must be out of your mind! Maybe you saw like one sarcastic comment??

      I invite anyone else to prove me “right”…

      Anyway, my only point is that he can do what he wants. And is.

        So you post sarcastic quips out of context and then get upset you aren’t being taken seriously or are misunderstood?

        Also where is your point relevant? No seriously, there’s someone else in this thread talking non-sense about the “DNC forcing Biden out” and you’re coming after me for saying people should let Joey enjoy his ice cream and retire quietly?

          Lol, no. We’re not going to continue discussing anything until you defend your comment:

          checked your post history and turns out you’re a right wing conspiracy theorist.

          So please. Out of my 3,000 posts in the past year please link any right-wing conspiracies at all! I’ll wait…

            That’s not how online discourse works. You don’t throw a tantrum and make demands telling people what can and can’t be discussed.

            Do you not see how immature you’re acting right now? You should take some time off the internet. It feels like at this point that you simply came around looking for an argument.
