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 mean 36% of Americans are lactose intolerant. And the far right, weirdly views dairy consumption as some kind of high status…
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.
Ben & Jerry make amazing ones. That brand that does Avocado ice cream is surprisingly really good (I was very skeptical). Nada Moo Cookies and Cream is pretty good.
Not ice cream, but a lot of the Talenti sorbets are also vegan and very good.
You can make a pretty good homemade version by blending bananas and avocado together and freezing it.
Frozen fruit and fruit juice makes a great creamy fruity ice cream. Add some coconut milk too
The don’t cry over spilled silk at cold stone is sooo good.
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
Is that a thing or an exaggeration?
Why White Supremacists Are Chugging Milk (and Why Geneticists Are Alarmed)
Middle Eastern people have been drink milk longer; I guess we have a new master race?
Seriously, these people never cease to disappoint in their weird metrics to prove themselves better than others.
That’s hilarious, because historically in Europe milk drinking was viewed as something peasants did and calling Europeans butter stinkers is one of my more favorite insults.
