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.
Dude I WISH ice cream socials were more popular.
Who are these ice cream hating fools?!
I have a love-hate relationship with ice cream. I love the way it tastes. I hate that even taking lactose pills I still have “issues” with the aftermath. Also, that’s a lot of calories to burn off.
I’d eat an ice cream cone with Joe, any day.
Sorbet is where it’s at. Every ice cream social or whatever should always have a non-dairy option. Fresh sorbet is so fuckin good.

Dairy free ice cream is fire.
I don’t like ice cream because I’m vegan, but I’m not complaining about this event any more than I would a sausage sizzle or a cheese tasting parlour. I think it’s cute
So much vegan ice cream out there.
If Biden didn’t serve any dairy ice cream at this event, then I applaud him.
It’s ptsd from what your employer is giving you instead of a real bonus or better working conditions.
the last one i attended was in 1988
When I was in undergrad some of the chemistry students would do parties where they would dump ice cream ingredients into a big bowl and then dump liquid nitrogen in and stir vigorously to make instant nerd ice cream and then we would all have some
Idk if it was safe but it was delicious
that sounds amazing
The last one I attended was under a week ago.
Sounds like you just need cooler friends.
Pun intended.
Sounds like you could make some homemsde,l with neighbors,outside, with an old-fashioned, hand -cranked maker, recruiting different neighbor kids to sit on top of the towel, to keep the ice in the tub
