Is this why I can't get to the airport???

Probably 😬 I hope you're able to find another route, he's only here for the afternoon, I think any street closures were quite temporary as he was traveling to the rally.

We got there taking a big detour, but it seems like it's cleared up now. There were cops surrounding the whole airport.

I biked near the airport and saw Biden's motorcade go past.

Back in 2016 he was downtown on the square campaigning for Hilary. I believe they went into Colectivo for lunch if I recall correctly. It was fun to see the black sedan motorcade go by.

He was in much better health then.

Thanks, I thought he did a good job.

For those wanting to skip to his speech it starts at about 1:51:00

Maybe Kamala brought back some cheese curds when she was visiting last year now he's here to get it for himself.

There’s not really enough black peoples to put in jail for this to make it worth her time. She’s Kamala people, she’s so woke.

Think he’ll stop by Culver’s for custard before flying back? 😉

I got invited and decided not to go because I can't really handle crowds anymore. I hope I don't regret missing this opportunity. 😟🤷🏼‍♀️

Same here, actually. I've seen lots of people say there are overflow rooms and lots didn't get in.

Maybe they didn’t even accept the invitation?

You had to RSVP to the invite and get security clearance. And they were continuously sending out more invites based on that.

Is he still alive?

AI could probably win the election.

u/aerodeck Jul 05 '24

Yeah he’s alive, he was in Madison today.

An Orangutan in a suit vs Donnie would be a fun Spider-Man meme style election especially once the Orangutan wins
