“My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband,” Biden said from the White House’s East Room in his first public appearance since a 28-year-old woman shot and killed three students and three teachers at a Christian private school in Nashville. “I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream,” he continued. “By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs,” he added. “You think I’m kidding? I’m not,” Biden told the crowd.

Biden later called the shooting “sick” and “heartbreaking” while demanding Congress do more to “stop the gun violence.” But critics went after the president for the inappropriate reaction and seemingly playful tone while addressing the tragedy.

“To say that he misunderstood the moment would be an understatement,” former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told Fox News later Monday. “You know, the president is watching, you’d hope before he comes down there, the awful scenes from the shooting and the reactions of family members and friends of people in that school. And to be coming down, joking about the fact that he’s Jill Biden’s husband and looking for chocolate chip ice cream is hardly the way to start it,” Christie said.

“There’s no way to talk about something like this except to say that for all of us who are parents, what we dread every day is the news about the health and life of our children,” he added. “And so there’s no room to joke in that circumstance at all. And certainly not from the President of the United States.” …

Biden said he hopes the tragedy will inspire Congress to pass an assault weapons ban similar to the ban he helped pass in 1994. That law enacted a 10-year ban on the manufacture, transfer or possession of “semiautomatic assault weapons” and “large capacity ammunition feeding devices.” It formally expired on Sept. 13, 2004. 

Christie said the president committed the “second-worst thing to do” in a circumstance like this one by invoking the political card while parents and students across the country grapple with the impact of the horrific shooting.

“It’s not about playing politics,” Christie told Fox News host Martha MacCallum on “The Story.” “The second-worst thing to do after making a joke on a day like today is to play politics with it. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the president did. He went back to the old playbook.”

    • At this point, I think Joetato is pretty much being ignored by everybody due to his (clearly) declining cognition. I think he may have genuinely been thinking about ice cream at the moment. As Election Day 2024 draws nearer, Trump won’t have to do anything but wait for the call, and the Dems will be cranking up their cheating to 11.

      Sad.

    • Of course, one can twist the words and omit the context to place the president in a bad light, such dishonesty is common with the right wing extremists who need to push their fraudulent agenda to explain their leadership failures.

      “But most of the posts omit the context of Biden’s remarks. His speech was not intended to address the shooting, but was held for a very different event.

      As the transcript shows, the president was actually speaking at the Small Business Administration’s Women’s Business Summit hosted at the White House. Right before Biden started his remarks, the full footage of the eventshows President Biden was cheerfully introduced to an audience of women business leaders. Hence, Biden’s opening remarks were equally buoyant.“

      If it wasn’t for tdisinformation the conservatives would have no information at all.

        And YOU should know ALL about that…

        • Your response does not in anyway excuse the intentional deception and misrepresentation of this story.

          Your reply is nothing but empty speech.

        • And YOUR cut and paste BS is what? Informative? Factual? Relevant? 99% of the stuff you post is cobbled together from Leftist publications and only contains information that is supportive of YOUR Leftist views but almost always omits information that would change the entire context of your posts, which is why you have ZERO credibility among those who regularly post here… Pot meet Kettle…

      • Miner, I find it faintly amusing that you are accusing the right of doing what the left has been doing for years. They just took a page from the left’s play book I do not agree with ANY outlet, left or right, that does stuff like this.
        So please don’t get indignant when the right does this if you will not get equally indignant about the left doing it.

  1. This cant be real………………….well ……………ok then guess it is an extended April Fools Day

    • “And YOUR cut and paste BS is what? Informative? Factual? Relevant?“

      Yes, my post above absolutely was factual, and I included the link where you can verify this for yourself.

      Yes, my post above absolutely was relevant, pointing out that this TTAG article is deceptive and misleading, and you can read the full context in the link I posted.

      This is why you people are losing the battle, because you’re liars. A propagandist posts a deceptive article and everyone piles on like lemmings, totally taken in by the fraud because they want to believe the deception.

      Just once, be honest and admit this article is deceptive and intentionally misleading.

      Don’t bother, it serves our purpose when you folks self-delude into believing Joe Biden is senile, as he and the Democrats clean your clocks legislativly.

      • self-delude into believing Joe Biden is senile,

        You are joking RIGHT? Did you miss the hot mic moment yesterday where his handler was walking him to his “mark” explaining where he needed to stand and reassuring him that he would “get him started” and he would be right there if Braindead got in trouble… If that old fuk is so sharp why doesn’t he take a cognitive test, I do one every year as part of MY annual physical, what’s HE afraid of?… If you can’t recognize the classic signs of dementia, you’ve never been around it… And the fact that you actually posted something with some basis of truth does not change the fact that the majority of the crap you post is cherry picked cut & paste bullshit and if you were actually HONEST with yourself you would admit it…

        “because you’re liars” I reiterate, Pot meet Kettle…

  2. When my dad had his Alzheimer’s Disease for awhile, he’d also say outlandishly stupid and hurtful things occasionally.
    Which doesn’t matter near as much, seeing as he wasn’t the sitting US president.

  3. The senile fool can’t be expected to understand what’s going on. They need to keep him hidden, and sedated – like most families do for their senile elders.

  4. “I came to eat ice cream and grope kids and I’m all out of ice cream.”

    The only nations left of Earth that are still trying are China and Russia. Feels like everybody else has just given up.

    • First thing he noticed was a couple of little kids in the back of the room, made them stand while he leered and drooled over them… A really sick fukk…

    • “obiden initiated murder/gun free zones decades ago“

      Wasn’t it Republican state assemblyman Mulford and Republican governor Ronald Reagan who made the State Capitol a ‘gun free zone’ in 1968, when Obama was only seven years old?

      • Joe Bide got 80 million ballots – that’s far different than 80 million votes.

        I’m still waiting for someone to debunk the 4 million minutes of security camera footage showing mules shoving ballots into ballot boxes.

        The election was stolen in broad daylight and most states seem unwilling to do anything about it.

  5. 25th Amendment. Do it! Yeah I get Kamaltoe would be presidon’t. It has no credibility or popular support.

  6. Can’t believe he really said that. I thought it was a sarcastic news report a la Babylon Bee. Wow what a peckerhead.

    • Babylon Bee has been a week or two ahead of actual news for a couple years now especially on pandemic related stuff.

    • Of course, one can twist the words and omit the context to place the president in a bad light, such dishonesty is common with the right wing extremists who need to push their fraudulent agenda to explain their leadership failures.

      • LOL ok good job fake Miner the lack of self awareness was spot on but the spelling mistakes are about the only thing giving it away now.

      • It may not have been started to address the shooting, but he did address it, in his ill-prepared and “lost train of thought” way. What a loser.

      • I’ve let this go as long as I can…

        You are correct, this was a previously scheduled meeting, BUT Braindead was FULLY BRIEFED on the Nashville incident prior to coming into the room, which means he was absolutely aware that children were dead, parents were looking for their kids, the fukking bodies of the dead had not yet reached room temperature and instead of addressing the tragedy that was STILL unfolding the Senile, Braindead old fukk OPENED (IE: the FIRST words out of ignorant mouth) with “I’m Joe Biden, I’m DR. Jill Bidens husband and I like ice cream”… HOW fukking insensitive can you get? And NO ONE reported that shit out of context, that was literally the FIRST thing he said when he picked up the mic… As usual it is YOU twisting shit around, leaving out pertinent information, you are such a waste of time and energy, not to mention the air you breathe that could be used by an actual human being…

  7. My first reaction was to think the Bee was the source then I realized that this was just idiot senile old Joe Biden reading out loud whatever some damn fool Democrat speech writer put on the teleprompter in front of him. We will be rid of him on January 20th of ’25 if he doesn’t do the Dead Parrot routine before then.

    • Thanx, that brought out laughter and I coughed up another chunk of lung.
      Kids, dont let your parents grow up to be smokers

  8. Look fat, look, here’s the deal. I served as a liaison during Israel’s Six-Day War. I got arrested in South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela. I was the outstanding student in the political science department. I graduated with three degrees. We’ve always found ways to come together. We could find that unity again. And the message said – end of message.

    • And I was raised in the Puerto Rican neighborhood by a bunch of Greeks I met at the Black Church I attended AFTER morning mass at the Catholic Church… I might be Irish but I’m not stupid and yeah POOR kids are just as smart as WHITE kids… Uhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh poopy pants…

  9. Clearly Jim Crow Gun Control democRat joe has serious mental issues, shades of mental issues that walk hand in hand with his beloved Gun Control Rot.

  10. If Sleepy Time Joe is the DNC candidate, watching his campaign is going to be like watching train wreck.
    Whomever the GOP candidate is, all he or she has to do is stand back and let it happen.

    • “Whomever the GOP candidate is, all he or she has to do is stand back and let it happen.”

      You’re delusional if you think the next election will be a cakewalk, son… 🙁

      • The west (U.S A.) is weak, theres no think to it.
        Most of Americas physically fit fighting age ‘men’ are gone, what we’ve got now are couch poptatoes, gangsters, homeless, felons, and I chipped a nail cry babies.
        The Army needs more then a few (down 65,000) good men.

  11. “My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband,

    Not so much as information for the audience as it was confirmation in his own mind… When he said “I only came down because they said there’d be ice cream” I believed him…. Probably the most truthful thing he’s said in the last month… All in all a total embarrassment…

  12. Well America does have freedom of speech(kinda) so I guess if President Biden wants to make a fool out of President Biden he has that right.

  13. Not only that, but after he was done talking about his chocolate chip ice cream he proceeded to eye the “good looking kids” that were in the audience.
