I love how the Genital Observation Party can't poke fun at Biden while he does Biden. Combined with the Harris/Walz fervour, the fascists are reeling...

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.

It's funny that "enjoys ice cream" became a defining political trait for Biden. Like, yes he does, but basically everyone does.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn Trump is indifferent about ice cream.
I might wonder if he is anti-ice-cream.
Actually, as CNN reported 7 years ago, in the Trump White House, the rule was that Trump got two scoops while everyone else only got one.

I mean 36% of Americans are lactose intolerant. And the far right, weirdly views dairy consumption as some kind of high status...
I have never met a lactose intolerant person that didnt, upon mentioning it when they inevitably buy something full of lactose, look me dead in the eye and confirm their terrible intolerance before going into a frightening lactose-consuming frenzy that chilled me to my very core.
They know the price they must pay. They laugh at death and spit in the face of genetics. A grim, dangerous people, the lactose intolerant.
There are pills these days that are very good at breaking down lactose for you if you take them before eating

I pay the price everyday and I will never stop consuming delicious dairy even as it hurts me so much.
So like, I confirm this.

That just means ice cream is anti-them, not the other way around.
Vegan ice cream can be fantastic, so it's not just a dairy thing.
I guess, but can is doing a lot of hefty lifting...
Not as much as it used to. There's some very good vegan ice cream out there. Just expect to pay more and have less selection.

Politics aside, I've known a few lactose intolerant people who still love ice cream. Willing to put themselves, those they care about and share confined spaces with, through the consequences of their intolerance for a scoop of that sweet salty iced cream with chocolate.
Lactose intolerance will not stop me from my ice cream

politics aside, nothing says 'im fucking old' quite like 'im throwing an ice cream social'
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.

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
theres a time and place for everything, and its college
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
I'm 40 years old and I can assure you there is no point in my life where I would have scoffed at being invited to an ice cream event.
Ice cream is cool, man.
I have never not liked an ice cream event at any age.
Why would you dis someone giving out ice cream?

You clearly haven't enjoyed enough ice cream with friends
Our college president through one every year at start of term. Thing was... Ice cream, Mac and cheese, and kettle corn are the three foods I always see people break their cliques to have together. People just... Fucking love ice cold dairy carbs, hot gooey dairy carbs, and sugar coated kettle carbs. Doesn't matter if you necessarily know who's serving them, or anyone else who's going, people turn out for that shit. More so than even music or dancing.
Man actually. Now you're making me want to have a potluck / potlatch (depending on your region) art event where everyone just brings Mac and cheese. Not even as a competition. Just come down to the municipal park, bring some Mac and cheese, and participate in a drum circle or a poetry reading or play a banjo. Everyone come have gooey dairy carbs and enjoy each others company
What? Why? Ice cream is awesome.

Hmmm. You know those phony "bring the neighborhood together events?"
I think it would be way better with an ice cream bar.
Maybe I'll make a huge ice cream bar social thing. It'll cost way too much, but who the fuck says no to free ice cream?
Did he get one or two scoops
Thanks, Brandon.
Hurry up, ladies. This ain't no ice cream social
Anyone... want to guess... why I gathered you here... today?
