Said Joe Biden, quoted in "Biden makes ice cream joke in first statement since Nashville shooting" (NY Post).
Remarkably, Biden again returned to the subject of ice cream with another shout-out to a rep from Jeni’s....
Remarkably?
The scheduled event involved businesses, including Jeni's, and the audience had businessfolk, including from Jeni's.
“If I were allowed to take you upstairs, you got a whole freezer full of Jeni’s chocolate chip ice cream,” Biden went on — closing his eyes slightly as if to reminisce about taking a bite. “You know it’s pretty dull when you’ve been in public life as long as I have and you’re known for two things: chocolate chip ice cream and Ray-Bans sunglasses, but what the hell,” the president added.
There are light and heavy things swirling all of the time around a President, so there are always opportunities to catch an awkward juxtaposition. Now, watch this drive:
And Presidents have always been known for their food preferences. If you loved Ronald Reagan, you loved knowing that he loved jelly beans. If you hated him, you may have felt enraged that he enjoyed candy while something terrible was happening somewhere.
Show some respect for the three 9-year-olds who were shot to death yesterday by refraining from using them for a cheap (and probably hypocritical) political point.

You can smell the call to civility.
“You know it’s pretty dull when you’ve been in public life as long as I have and you’re known for two things: selling out your country to China and Ukraine and stealing a presidential election."
I'm pretty sure GWB would take back that golf moment if he could. Well, he did, right? He stopped golfing while POTUS.
Yes, a President will get caught in an awkward moment while events unfold. What happens afterward, though? That's the test of character. I don't care if Biden likes ice cream; I do care that he talks about it instead of other issues. How often did Reagan talk about jelly beans? I don't remember, but I think the press made more of it than he did. The bowl sat on the Resolute Desk and they ran with a story.
Even when Democrats have had a super in all houses of government, they have never passed such a ban. And they know the Supreme Court would strike it down anyway.
Biden has learned that the press will print his demand, knowing that it's a fake demand, to cover for these events occurring on the Democrat Party's watch. Which is why it was the SECOND thing he talked about after his ice cream fetish.
It's pablum for the idiot masses. And it's very effective. It works.
Hunter and James Biden must be on the payroll of Jeni's Ice Cream.
Remarkably, yes.
Mr. Dr. Jill Biden's husband enjoys a punch drunk flavor shared by a minority.
Did you also notice that he pointed out in his incoherent remarks that his sister was the smartest one of his siblings. Talk about pandering. Girls are smarter than boys. Yuk, yuk, yuk. Is it unkind for me to point out that in his case, that is a extremely low bar to exceed.
Jo Biden is a senile, doddering old fool.. File under: Dog Bites Man
This is a political post with the killings a central theme. Hard to not comment and keep it non political. I cannot imagine the devastation those parents are going through. Biting my tongue for the rest I would like to say.
The president can't always be talking about the most important issue of the moment. The business leaders who organized this event deserve to have their event even if there is something else going on that counts as heavier news (this isn't unlimited, of course--the 9/11 massacre, for instance, superseded everything for a while). It's also absurd to demand the president look dour all the time when something serious has happened.
I don't believe anybody actually wants any of this, however much some people pretend to.
Serious Question: When Biden is out of office, and he is indicted on bribery corruption charges..
Will the media express OUTRAGE, over a former President being charged with crimes?
"I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel."
They probably exist, but I can not thin of any - are there examples of Presidents cancelling an event or changing the focus to address a serious event that had just occurred?
"Show some respect for the three 9-year-old who were shot to death yesterday by refraining from using them for a cheap (and probably hypocritical) political point."
Refraining from cheap political points, that's the Biden way. What more respect could he show than by focusing on ice cream? Kids like it.
Why the allusion to hypocrisy? Does anyone expect Joe to call out a trans murderer for her (?) ideological terrorism?

You mean like Biden, the Left and the MSM did yesterday?
Is this "cruel neutrality" or "civility bullshit"?
The Big Guy is probably just earning his 10% from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream.
Yeah, especially since the murderer is transgender.
Sweep her under a rug. Nothing to see here.
John Henry
Jeni's Ice Cream, eh? The same pricey stuff Nancy Pelosi bragged about during the pandemic?
I bet Joe, and Nancy's, favorite flavor is "Let them eat cake"
Jesus.
Is his fridge bigger than Nancy's?
Doubt it.
And anyone who calls their own wife 'Dr.'...really?
The Chinese installed Biden as President and, boy, did they get their money's worth.
So much to unwrap here. Not in the story, but in your reaction. Why is the Post being unnecessarily or unjustifiably "political"? Isn't there something deeply political about Biden's ice cream talk and aviator glasses? Isn't all that part of the political show? Wasn't all that concocted with a political aim in mind? Is the Post really being "political"? They are reporting something that happened. How did the Washington Post and New York Times report the story? Did they report it at all?
And how is the Post being hypocritical? Every media outlet has a tilt. The end result is that, if we take a wide variety of sources in, we get a bigger and better picture of events. I'm not sure that the paper would have avoided the story if it had been about Reagan or Trump or one of the Bushes, but I'm glad that somebody covers things that the rest of the media ignores. When Obama comes out after the Fort Hood shooting and gives a "shout out" to an acquaintance in the crowd it's not a big story, but it is a story, and if Trump had done the same it would have been made into a very big story.
And why the indignation about the Post and not about Biden coming out to talk about a tragedy and making it once again all about himself and the goofy persona his advisors have invented for him?
The mind rot has progressed at an accelerated rate.
If it’s any consolation, Quemala Harris is channeling the Amazing Criswell talking Plan 9 from Outer Space thoughts about the future of Africa.
"Show some respect for the three [9-year-olds] who were shot to death yesterday by refraining from using them for a cheap (and probably hypocritical) political point."
Althouse admonishes a lamppost.
I doubt Slow Joe knows the difference between chocolate chips and rabbit berries.
That George W. clip makes it look like he can turn on the committed and serious tone whenever he wants.
Biden seems like he doesn't know or care that people think he's not up to the job.
... and Bush Sr. wouldn't eat broccoli.
This is what makes the media look petty. Both sides. Don't we have more serious things to worry about? Like Putin moving nukes to the battle front.
Same pricey brand as in Pelosi’s freezer.
https://nypost.com/2020/11/12/progressives-slam-pelosi-ice-cream-stunt-in-election-post-mortem/
At least it’s made in the US. For now.
The Emperor has no clothes.
Pointing that out is not politics, it's the obvious truth.
At least Bush made a display of unwavering confidence, whether it was his foreign policy or his golf swing on camera in front of an often hostile press to whom he granted informal access.
Biden was like melting soft serve on contrived display, inserting his hackneyed "not a joke refrain" while touting his Pelosi-like hoarding of ice cream.
From CBS News...I'll just leave this here:
"President Obama conceded on Sunday that he should have anticipated the criticism he received for golfing shortly after condemning the execution of American journalist James Foley at the hands of Islamist militants."
There's a lot less shooting coverage than I expected, as it would be a ratings winner. It's intensely entertaining to empathize with victims, if experience is any guide. I think the transgender aspect brought in a policy conflict to the media.
Not caring would be a plus for Biden. It's just not politically astute.
Speaks larger to how our elites are so distant from the day to day life of citizens.
Most politicians only care about using the pain of ordinary people to score hits on the opposition:
"It's those crazy Right Wing 2nd Amendment freaks"
"No, it's those crazy transgender groomers"
Show some respect for the three 9-year-old who were shot to death yesterday by refraining from using them for a cheap (and probably hypocritical) political point.
That is directed at Biden laughing and joking, right?
Joltin’ Joe has a refrigerator full of Jeni’s upstairs. $12 per pint, soon to be $20 per pint thanks to inflation induced by idiotic spending by the Dems the first 2 years of his term. Paid for by the United States taxpayers, not out of Joe’s ill-gotten gains according to the Laptop from Hell formerly owned by his crack-head son.
To be capable of embarrassment one first must be self aware therefore Joe suffers no embarrassment nor shame for his obsequious pandering and product placement braggadocio. He also cannot let the presence of “beautiful little children” go unnoticed. Ever. He absolutely must remark on their being there. Ben Cardin was obviously embarrassed and baffled by Joe. What a tableau!
“Yeah, especially since the murderer is transgender.
Sweep her under a rug. Nothing to see here.”
Just what is there to see? What is your point? What are you trying to say, that being transgendered makes them killers?
It's also absurd to demand the president look dour all the time when something serious has happened.
Isn't that what people voted for? Gravitas, decorum, competence and compassion?
Aren't the adults supposed to be back in charge now?
Serious Question: When Biden is out of office, and he is indicted on bribery corruption charges..
Will the media express OUTRAGE, over a former President being charged with crimes?
Hopefully not, since they will be based on ACTUAL crimes and not made-up ones like those being thrown at Trump.

Biden is allowed to like ice cream. I'm sure the ice cream in question is quite good. The President is allowed to have fun. That's fine.
The entire problem here is it was completely inappropriate, and our President does not seem to understand that fact. Being President is supposed to be a sacrifice. We expect this person to lead. We also expect this person to care about us, or at least have the decency to fake it believably. Biden can't do that. So, we have a mass shooting involving children and the facts are not in, and his first thoughts are to give a shout-out for ice cream and push gun control legislation. I'm not sure which is the worse of the two.
To put it frankly, Biden is a jerk. This would be forgivable if he was good at his job, but he's a stupid, corrupt, mean jerk. It baffles me why anyone would want this man representing them in anything. The only question here is whether his lack of a filter is a product of his senility or if he has always been like this. I suspect it is both.
With royalty, there is always the excuse that the bad king is bad luck; he just happened to be the son of the prior king and had to be chosen. What's our excuse?
Show some respect for the three 9-year-old who were shot to death yesterday by refraining from using them for a cheap (and probably hypocritical) political point.
The cheap political point I will make is about hypocrisy. I would dearly love to someday see an online article, a print op-ed, or even a blog post which doesn’t begin “out of respect for the victims …” and go on to eschew making political points when the heinous incident can be plausibly blamed on someone right of center. I only ever notice calls for restraint “out of respect for the victims” when the perpetrator is clearly on the left side of the political spectrum. I’m pretty certain I know why thst is.
Still, I’m glad that I held off commenting on this atrocity until after reading the article by David Strom over on hotair.com and listening to Dr. Helen Smith’s discussion on Fox News this morning, as linked by proud husband Prof. Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit, because my first reaction was to be livid with rage. The LGBTQ (and God knows how many other letters)community has fetishized their hatred of Christianity and Christians, but murdering children for an ideology is beyond the Pale.
I admit to also being influenced by seeing the head of Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (aka Posie Parker, not to be confused with Hollywood actress Parker Posey) covered in what appeared to be blood after an attack by someone described as a “trans activist.”
But Smith and Strom are right. The killer left behind writings described by authorities as a “manifesto.” We need to see what she had to say for herself prior to combining the murder of children with suicide by cop, before rushing to judgement. Especially after discovering that the red on Posie Parker’s head was tomato paste.
I watched a couple of the national networks coverage. Now they MAY have added the ice cream info later, but the coverage I saw began when Biden sobered* up and began the somber gun control part.
No, I'm not saying he was drunk. But the holly-jolly joke fest to "what a tragedy" was shocking.... and far beyond the "every one does this" examples above.
You misrepresented the Post's article. The Post story was this: Biden showed up, made jokes about ice cream, and only after joking around did he mention the school shooting. The Post was commenting on the grossness of this juxtaposition. You didn't even mention that he juxtaposed jokes with a school shooting : instead, you concealed what he said that was wrong and being criticized, then preemptively hectored us about something we didn't even say.
"Serious Question: When Biden is out of office, and he is indicted on bribery corruption charges..
Will the media express OUTRAGE, over a former President being charged with crimes?"
Dear Lord, do you not America, bro?
Keep living in your conservative dreamland where Mitch McConnell has your best interests at heart.
"By the way, I heard some kids got shot up. Man, they sure woulda enjoy some of that ice cream in my refrigerator. I'm serious, no joke!"
“The Chinese installed Biden as President and, boy, did they get their money's worth.”
So now that the Chinese and Russians are allies, who will they put their money on? I’m guessing it’s Trump, same as before.
"the battle front."
In a war we are technically not fighting.
DanTheMan: "The Emperor has no clothes."
Biden certainly didn't when he showered with his adolescent daughter thereby sexualizing her (her own words) at a young age.
Interestingly, this behavior was called "perfectly normal" by Russia Collusion Truther Inga, gadfly and victoria of pasadena (naturally!).
It is odd how both Pelosi and Biden made a point to call out Jeni's brand ice cream. They both made a show of how much Jeni's they had on hand. Maybe it was just Biden's weird way of saying he's got a bigger dick than Pelosi? Whatever it is, it makes me want to know more about the outreach the Jeni's Ice Cream Corporation does with political celebrities.
You think im joking
no, weve heard that one
you never joke Joe
Daisy Daisy
give me your answer do
Im half crazy...............
"Love that Jeni's Chocolate Chip. Love it. Got a Jeni's near us on 14th Street. I hear there's even a shop in Nashville. Not sure why that comes to mind...oh yeah..."
I was watching TV when he came on. The appearance was touted as being about the recent killings.
When he began his remarks with the jokes - well, it was shocking.
If a Republican acted this way, Dems would call it a war crime.
ha ha
you want to see ferocious journalism?
google Donald Trump and vanilla ice cream
(Click on the second page, they're still talking about it, in the UK, in New Zealand, two scoops of insanity)
Don’t forget Biden noticing the cute girls in the back.

Not so sure. I think it renews the the call to ban firearms, and, indeed, reinforces that notion. Clearly (sic) this person was not mentally or morally deficient, it must be the guns.
@stutefish -- YES, lol
I gain endless and infinite amusement at watching the people who disliked Trump and chose Biden instead discovering precisely who it was they voted for, which is a senile corrupt hack with morals that would cause a used-car salesman to blanch.
Y'all got exactly what you voted for. Enjoy it. Just like with Obama, you fell for the scam.
I remain unconvinced about the virtues of an academic education, based on how many rubes that system has produced.
Wait a minute. The UGA Bulldogs win two nattys and can’t get a visit to White House. Guess old man Biden is too busy arranging his payoffs as the Big Guy for the $200,000,000,000 cash sent to the Ukraine the last 7 months. (Plus his bonus for blowing up Nordstream 1&2.)
The article section actually reads:
"“By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs,” Biden added at his only scheduled public appearance of the day. “You think I’m kidding? I’m not.”
The president then turned serious to address the shooting at the Covenant School, in which three students and three staff members were killed, calling it “sick” and “a family’s worst nightmare” before demanding once again that Congress pass a ban on assault weapons.
Remarkably, Biden again returned to the subject of ice cream with another shout-out to a rep from Jeni’s, an Ohio-based chain with shops across the country, including a location near the White House.
“The businesses represented in this room stretch across industries, from restaurants to architectural firms to hardware stores, plus Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream. And by the way — by the way, it is splendid,” Biden gushed."
I wondered why in the world Jjoementia/Pedo Pete would be celebrating business.
But of course:
"“My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband,” the 80-year-old president began his remarks at an East Room gathering of women-owned businesses."
He's so humble to not claim his fame for hair sniffing and other assorted behaviors around girls young and old.
"By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs."
I keep my ice cream in the freezer.
I haven't heard him speak for a while, maybe 6 months or a year. Wow, he sounds really, really bad now. He sounds like great grandpa in his 60 year old recliner that smells like old cigars and coffee spilled out of a saucer, complaining that his Werthers Originals have stuck together
Please! Stop with this stupidity.
Biden needed to be serious when he came out KNOWING he needed to comment on the murders.
He could have been serious while the national media was focused on him & what he was going to say.
And those business leaders that were there could just suck it up while he spoke.
They are big boys and girls after all, right?
Or were these snowflake business people!
After speaking to the national media he could have transitioned to opening the business meeting. Thank them all for being there and allowing him the time needed to address the murders.
He could have spoken about his silly ice cream comments letter.
And to say no one can make this political is just silly.
Are you going to call me a troll, too?
Biden just shows how poorly he performs as a appointed president. Maybe the Chinese did not "install" him but they helped and are definitely getting their money's worth.
Diversity, Equity and Incompetence strikes again.
May God have mercy on us all.
Biden is disgusting. He will be disgusting forever.
Look on the bright side. In addressing the merits of chocolate chip ice cream, at least Biden was talking about something that he understands.
Bless his heart. All that ice cream and no weight gain. It is time for him to go.

Oh, wait.

Bush has a smooth, accomplished golf swing. If he doesn't make par, it won't be because of what he does off the tee. I think his drive served to reinforce his prior words. His drive demonstrated drive and determination....The chocolate chip ice that was dribbling down Biden's chin subverted his warnings about the perils of assault rifles.

Yeah, especially since the murderer is transgender.
Psychiatric dysphoria, exceptions, and incongruence. Distinguishes the stability of trans/neos from trans/homos and other classes in the transgender spectrum, which was clinically established at Johns Hopkins several decades earlier. The majority suffer from a progressive psychosis that is not aided through medical, surgical, and psychiatric corruption, and, in fact, the treatment aids and abets their dysfunction and abortive choice(s).
That said, mass abortion fields opened with psychiatric dysphoria, diversity (DIEversity), democratic/dictatorship, CAIR, etc. One step forward, two steps backward.
“Interestingly, this behavior was called "perfectly normal" by Russia Collusion Truther Inga, gadfly and victoria of pasadena (naturally!).”
Interestingly the Moscow trained propagandist Drag Queen, lies. News at 10. What does he have left now that Trump is floundering more than ever, even among those who used to idolize him.
Oh yes, and now that Drago’s Mother Russia is China’s ally, what will he do? His beloved Russians are now two peas in a pod with the “Chi-coms”, really an interesting turn of events for Russia/Trump/Putin propagandists like Drago.

Joe Biden is a stupid man.
He has always been stupid.
Now he has a touch of dementia.
So now he’s a stupid demented man.
However, he has also had a bizarre aspect to his outbursts.
Like the constant lies about the truck driver his first wife got into an accident with.
It’s not tragic enough, he has to lie and slander the truck driver.
He’s a stupid, demented, emotionally deficient man.
81 million idiots.
or the ft hood shooting with the native american shindig,
Hannity is still trending on Twitter because of his interview with Trump yesterday. He practically spoon fed Trump the correct answer to a question about the documents and Trump ignored him and basically confessed to illegally taking US government documents. Trump was a bit discombobulated, sort of like Biden.
The problem is nothing he said was a joke. He is Jill Bidens husband,he actually thought he was coming down for icream and he can't tell the difference between a regular press conference and a tragedy.The fact that everyone in the room was laughing is a disgrace. Not one moan or reaction of just silence. I wonder how he would have reacted to a supposed ice cream joke when he was told his son had died.This is not cute funny or appropriate. No amount of spin can make this acceptable. I don't care who you are. In any other job he would have been fired before he left the room. Pathetic!!
"So now that the Chinese and Russians are allies, who will they put their money on? I’m guessing it’s Trump, same as before."
The Chinese have already put money on Biden.
Ingot: " Trump ignored him and basically confessed to illegally taking US government documents. Trump was a bit discombobulated, sort of like Biden. "
While no one revisits brain freeze Biden re his many documents.
And now, day two of Biden joking about the murdered adults and children. When asked if he thought it was a hate crime against Christians, Biden burst out laughing. Then he snickered and responded to a reporter's question by saying that if Josh Hawley thought so, he probably didn't. He laughed throughout the exchange.
Repeatedly laughing at and joking about murdered children. If they were Jewish congregants or children and staff at a black school, the White House flag would be at half-mast; Biden would declare national mourning, and the FBI would be helicoptering in to begin hate crime investigations so they could statistically file both state and federal hate motivated deaths.
Any "terfs" commenting negatively about the trans killer would be investigated.
The picture of raw political abuse of these hate laws, and how they dehumanize unwanted groups to the point of mocking them in their time of suffering, grows ever clearer. No ice cream this time, eh?
Tuna Trent said "If they were Jewish congregants or children and staff at a black school, the White House flag would be at half-mast; Biden would declare national mourning, and the FBI would be helicoptering in to begin hate crime investigations so they could statistically file both state and federal hate motivated deaths."
You're absolutely right. The double standard is clear too those with eyes to see.
