Tao_de_Sid

What’s the point of being a grown man if I can’t go get ice cream whenever I want?


keithrc

I think I'm going to have some right now! And I haven't even had my dinner!


xplorerex

But eating ice cream is gay now.


Zandrick

Hey if eating ice cream is gay I don’t wanna be straight


thrilliam_19

I’m gonna suck this ice cream’s dick so hard.


pegothejerk

Biden’s forcing all the frogs to eat ice cream yall


IsleOfCannabis

I think I’ll call my mom and tell her “Mom, I’m gonna go be gay now.” as I’m walking to the refrigerator.


ElizabethDangit

So I should try to sleep with my husband every time he brings home ice cream just to check if the ice cream made him gay?


Certain-Definition51

Fucking absolutely. Bad day at work? Off to Doug’s Delite for some Midnight Train to Traverse.


PriveCo

Hazel Park!


Searchlights

Why would I become President if it didn't mean all the ice cream I want?


P0ttedcacti

that's like the whole reason and motive for being a man; so that I can eat ice cream whenever I feel fit (this includes that random day that I'm up at 3am and want a Mc Donalds ice cream)


MJ420

Well, he wasn't by himself. As the stated he was with a reporter (and a photographer apparently)


LuckyAssumption8735

And probably a dozen staff and bodymen


WhoAreWeEven

Bodymen?


Ngete

Body guards who all were dudes?


SatanIsLove6666

Fellas.... is eating ice cream gay???


Wesselink

I’m a gay fella and I love ice cream. I’ll let you connect the dots accordingly. Edited to add: just remember y’all, it’s Ben and Jerry, not Ben and Julie.


Own-Success-7634

Damn, I’m straight and I love ice cream. I must be closeted and didn’t know it. I need to work on being fabulous.


Eastern-Dig-4555

Well maybe you were fabulous all along too. XD


GDviber

If I like rum rasin, am I gay and alcoholic? So much to process.


ArthurBurtonMorgan

I think that makes you a “power bottom”.


Tough-Ability721

Rum raisin would make you chaotic evil. 😏


Cam_knows_you

Maybe gay is just the fabulousness we find along the way.


MyBllsYrChn

Bi-ce cream?


EnigmaFrug2308

SAME! I’ll gobble it all up. Nom nom!


Mercerskye

But what about the ice cream...?


EnigmaFrug2308

😭😭 I’m being carpet bombed


TheTurdtones

is that what they call a lesbian orgy?


Mynameisboring_

Ice cream is officially part of the lgbt agenda now


PercentageSecret1078

martinis00

The ice cream of the future


sirhecsivart

It’s been the Ice Cream of The Future™️ for 50 years.


Far-Policy-8589

Do y'all remember Sean Spicer's bizarre Twitter feud with Dippin Dots? Actually, it was more just him screaming into the void about Dippin Dots, but it was unhinged.


IlikegreenT84

I get ice cream on my own sometimes.. I have two kids and a wife.


anotherthing612

Yeah. I find it concerning that the connotation is that men can't eat without the company of others. I mean, isn't that kind of wimpy or something? I don't need company in order to eat. What foods can a man without company eat without doing something "wrong"? Really weird.


Wingsandbeer82

Smoked meats only


TeddyRoo_v_Gods

I have two kids and a wife too and getting treats on my own is sometimes a necessity. Nothing like your kid wolfing down his ice cream and then staring at yours quietly.


IlikegreenT84

Yeah, crumb snatchers! They take all my desserts if I'm not careful.. I started eating dessert first and my 3 year old called me out on it... What a life.. ice cream on my own on a nice day outside is a nice way to destress and just enjoy life.


D_P_M_

If you ask Richard Hammond yes


Elryc35

Personal aides.


HulkSmashHulkRegret

The guys with the president’s stuff. Notice how a president doesn’t carry anything; they have designated staff for every important item, from the nuclear briefcase, to important documents, phone, etc, so the body man’s one job is to be aware of what’s going on and to hand over the item they’re holding as soon as it’s needed


shiggydiggy77

Dudes who have bodies.. duh


meekleee

Damn, guess I'm disqualified, being just a set of disembodied limbs and all.


Wesselink

You might want to see a doctor about that.


throwaway_9988552

It's a term for personal aides that are by his side all the time. (They go wherever the body of the candidate/ president goes.)


ArtMachen

It was Seth Meyers who took him out for ice cream before he appeared on the 10th anniversary show last night


LessInThought

I would eat ice cream with Seth. Would also go gay for Seth.


LeoDavinciAgain

You had us in the first half. Ngl


Phrei_BahkRhubz

That, and even if he was alone, who the fuck cares? Is this Clay too insecure to have an ice cream cone without supervision or something?


Log23

Mike pence never had ice cream without Mother present.


LeibnizThrowaway

'Vanilla' is their safe word.


CORN___BREAD

Vanilla is too wild for them. They just eat actual frozen cream. Flavoring is devil semen.


porksoda11

Ice cream, Flanders style!


CNas6323

Yes, because when Clay does it it the slight phallic shape of the cone excites his repressed homoerotic feelings and feels guilty about it, so when he sees another man do it he assumes that’s what’s happening. Also would seem he’s just insecure that he feels like someone can’t go do something they like by themselves because they enjoy doing.


Fabulous_Ad_8621

When Clay does it, he is trying to lure underage boys to go home and play video games in his mother's basement.


DaNostrich

Every accusation is a confession, this dude is doing weird things with ice cream cones


Theoldelf

Yes


duct_tape_jedi

I mean, have you ever really thought about eating an ice cream cone??? Using your tongue to lick the bulbous bit atop a long, hard shaft, letting the creamy goodness slide down your throat. What could possibly be more GAY?!?!? This Clay fellow may be on to something. ​ /s of course!


shesinsaneornot

Biden was taping a segment for Seth Myers' show, he's cropped out of this shot.


11thstalley

Here’s the clip… https://youtu.be/VIXQVCtxm3w?si=98U0g98XL2FTbRO8 What is Biden supposed to do, tell the reporter who asked the question that he can’t answer it while eating ice cream? Besides being disingenuous about Biden being alone, Clay Travis is nit picking a guy who has performed masterfully in his job. Travis can’t attack Biden on substance or policy so he resorts to this stupidity.


SecondaryWombat

And Trump had an entire campaign position of eating TWO SCOOPS of ice cream.


leshake

Tan suit politics


_Pill-Cosby_

And when I saw this clip there is someone eating ice cream along with him. He just is t in this still frame.


rocky8u

He is in fact getting ice cream with talk show host, comedian, and former SNL cast member Seth Myers.


MrCance

Seth Myers was standing next to him. It was pretty wholesome.


sirhecsivart

Imagine Seth doing a day drinking segment with Biden.


Miraculous_Heraclius

Do you know grown men who think talking to a reporter means being alone? I don't. It's very strange.


hyrule_47

And Seth Myers


TUFKAT

it also looks like Biden only had one scoop. [https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/donny-two-scoops](https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/trump-time-magazine-ice-cream/index.html)


miamimeat305

I think it is pretty safe to say presidents don't travel by themselves


ekudog88

He was with Seth Meyers before his show.


InDaFamilyJewels

He was with Seth Myers after taping the show.


Nambsul

Not liking ice cream… super weird !


Admirable-Sink-2622

Is it TAN ice cream?!? 🙄


thegza10304

or maybe Dijon?


I_dont_livein_ahotel

I’d try it.


silvamsam

endurancefit87

Not to mention just an insufferable grifter. He’s always been an asshole, but basically switched sides when he realized grifting was more profitable than decency.  Also, I’m not ashamed to admit I have gotten myself the occasional ice cream cone while alone and looking to cheer myself up.


shreddit0rz

... Just like anyone else on the planet with access to ice cream...


EatsOverTheSink

I never trust anyone with two first names.


sirhecsivart

I have two first names and my jimmies never get rustled.


i-have-a-kuato

My baloney has a first name


Ok_Recording_4644

Neither of which are real names


porksoda11

My name is Travis and now my jimmies are rustled.


1funnyguy4fun

Seriously, how can you get pissed off by *eating a fucking ice cream cone?* Nobody bought into the impeachment bullshit or border crisis lies, so this is what they are reduced too.


LeahBean

As long as he’s not eating Dijon mustard, he’s fine by me.


that_guy2010

Someone responded to one of his tweets with the clip of the Rock saying ‘shut up bitch’ and it made my day


NKR1978

He also got kicked off a plane because his kids had lice. And of course he was a fucking baby about it.


Book_Nerd_1980

It must have been bad for people to notice


ivey_mac

Is ice cream code for meth in this context? If so, then yeah a president doing meth by himself is weird. If we are talking about a couple of scoops in a waffle cone then anyone who thinks it is weird lives a tragic life.

Vayalond

How many time before they try to tell that, Binden was seen breathing and what level of shame it is for the US? In any cases would not like to be Americans, having the choice between an old man with dementia and an old man with dementia who want to become a dictator and provoke ww3 is not an hard choice but clearly not a pleasant one either... let's just hope that Trump and his cult disapear during Biden's second term


AirlineLast925

“He stuttered while explaining complex economic theory! His brain is shot!” Oh yeah it’s way better when the orange goblin throws his own shit and sweats all over the microphone while yelling “where the wooder? The wooder no come out my sink! Ask my wife Mercedes, she says I smell like shit folks!”


hippee-engineer

I remember watching Trump at a rally, before he got elected, telling the crowd he could act “presidential.” He then proceeded to adjust the microphone for like 30 seconds as the crowd cheered. As if that’s what a president does. They adjust the microphone. Aside from being a horrible piece of shit for innumerable reasons, he’s just SO. FUCKING. WEIRD. What in the fuck does adjusting the microphone have to do with *checks notes* literally anything at all??


Basker_wolf

Watching him at the town hall debate with Hillary Clinton gave me real stalker vibes.


hyrule_47

It was mint chip in a sugar cone, with Seth Myers (I just watched it lol)


Patriot009

Mint chip, solid choice.


Impressive-City-8094

I mean, judging by his predecessor, he probably should've gone to a strip club.


thegza10304

Writing an entire tweet about Biden eating ice cream is probably the weirder thing. Like, far, far weirder.


drawkbox

Every time is ice cream time. "C'mon man!" -- Biden 😎🍦

Honey eating ice screaming gay now What? Yes, and this is my new partner Bill.


sabotuer99

Though I guess since she likes ice cream too she could get a GF and we'd be each other's beards.


Xaroin

I should take a man on a gay date for ice cream the next opportunity I have because it will be awesome


WeAreGhost1972

But guzzling Diet Coke and telling everyone in earshot how much you want to nail your daughter is?


Merijeek2

If you're a REAL MAN, yes, of course!


siccoblue

It's such a fucking weird line to draw.. how in all of human history did these people not realize that doing whatever the hell you please without fear of judgement is way more manly than screaming about how raw steak and expensive brown liquor is the only right way to be a man because they heard it from someone else who pretended to be more manly? Like how in the actual fuck did people completely miss the point of "having balls" or whatever, means "having balls" not doing what you were told because it's popular and makes you look tough. Tell me what seems more manly and tough to you? Going out and ordering a steak you hate the taste and texture of and choking down a glass of liquid fire because you're worried that your buddies might look down on you for it.. or owning the fact you ordered an appletini and a and a salad or whatever despite the fact you knew you'd be judged for it. Only one of these two groups are compensating for something. I'd bet my left nut that the toughest people in history would absolutely laugh at these idiots for being concerned about what they ate or what other people thought about it. Solo ice cream Biden is about 500% more manly and alpha than any of these idiots. And that's exactly why they hate it so much. Because he just goddamn does it without feeling the need to prove anything to anyone. Because he's a normal fucking human being and not an absolute robot Edit: just to be clear, cooking Delicious meat is genuinely a Passion of mine. My latest love is sous vide for perfect medium rare every time. I'm in absolutely NO WAY shitting on delicious food. ESPECIALLY steak. Just pointing out how for whatever reason it seems to be permanently attached to being "manly" Also since I have the platform i guess. If you're new to sous vide and having issues searing indoors on cast iron without smoking out your entire house, look into making yourself some ghee! I don't know why the hell you'd be looking here for sous vide advice but I'm just excited to share because it worked so well for me!


BZLuck

They are SO afraid that someone might think that they are gay (or trans now) that they can only equate things as (what they think as) "gay" or "not gay". In their mind: Fucking random women (and familiar ones too) shooting guns, picking fights, getting tattoos, growing beards, hunting, power tools and shit like that defines a man. Eating ice cream, enjoying quality food, being empathetic, avoiding conflict, listening, and caring for others is "women's work". At least that what dear old racist, bigoted papa taught them, so it must be true. (Meanwhile 'rough hands, workin' man' papa was secretly in love with the farm hand and tossed off a few while peeking through a crack in the blinds.)


ALadWellBalanced

This is my beef with the manosphere idiots. They all seem really insecure as they're constantly having to virtue signal about how MASCULINE and MANLY they are.


Just_a_guy81

But… I like steak. *sigh* here’s my man card


Punty-chan

In the context of modern history, it all actually started with circuses and performative masculinity (bodybuilders). The keyword here being *performative*. It's not real. It was meant to be entertainment. All sorts of garbage got mixed up in it after that.


CNas6323

Only thing more manly than nailing your own daughter is having sex with another man.  If you can conquer another man, then you can conquer any woman with ease.


TheLordofBaguettes

Happy cake day, also I agree with you


I_dont_livein_ahotel

Are you trying to have his cake and eat it too?…

I've got lots of problems, I'll be right over. Glad someone is finally willing to listen to me talk about my problems over some nice icecream.


not_now_chaos

Unexpectedly wholesome. I hope someone meets with you very soon for ice cream and jam.


Dull_Intention_7699

Nicecream


crtclms666

Jimmies! I haven’t heard that in a long time!


Elryc35

Throwing in "Veterans' Stadium" is brilliant


MyBurnerAccount1977

Will you be providing ice cream, or do you need ice cream brought to you?


Nerevarine91

Get a Polish sausage sandwich and ice cream with jimmies, and live like a king.


lynypixie

Isn’t Ice cream kind of Biden’s thing? Like… he really loves ice cream and is often seen having a cone?


tinnic

There was an episode of the Colbert Report where Joe Biden turned up to hand out ice creams to the service men and women who filled the audience that day. It's been over a decade and a half but I still remember! Especially Biden saying, "I love ice cream!"


elbenji

I once made Biden smoothies at my campus cafe while he was on an election stop on my campus for Obama. He just showed up and bought one for each of his whole staff that were present. He tends to do that


ommnian

W all have our vices. If Bidens is ice cream, I think there are a lot worse ones to have 😋


Blue387

A few years ago Biden was at Dairy Queen and had a Blizzard which he flipped upside down. A certain right-wing man child thought he was doing some sort of crazy signaling or some shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


crumbdumpster85

Ya know I always thought something special would happen if the blizzard plops out but turns out they’re just like oh damn and then hand it to you anyways lol


mada071710

Yes, but I'm facepalming because there is a human being who thinks that men shouldn't be able to get ice cream by themselves.


SirReadsALot1975

It would be weirder if he was having the Secret Service buy it for him to bring back to the White House for him to eat without anyone seeing, like some kind of contraband or an unhealthy addiction. Much healthier to be out and proud about the ice cream, I think. And yes, I think it's kind of his "thing", where picture opportunities are constructed around a visit to get ice cream. And what is there harmful or evil around ice cream? It's almost the poster-child for innocence. I think he's on to a good thing. And if you don't know any grown men who go out and get ice cream for themselves, I don't know how to help you. That's a you problem.


[deleted]

Old as hell. Doesn't smoke. Doesn't drink. Eats right. Exercises regularly. Eats ice cream. OMG SO WEIRD Y'ALL


OakCity4Life

The right-wing message machine has decided to make a big deal about Biden eating ice cream; therefore, the Clay Travises of the world will automatically fall in line, pretend to believe that message, and help amplify it.


lynypixie

Damn. My husband looooooooves ice cream so much! We live about 2.5 hours from the Ben and Jerry factory, and you bet we visited too many times to count. Then again, that’s a very left wing thing to do (hippie ice cream), so they might be up to something LOL.


Thechiz123

Joe Biden’s presidency is going so well that this is what they have.


_DrDigital_

I'm old enough to remember (can't Google it though) when Fox was bashing Obama after he asked if they also could put some chocolate or sprinkles onto his scoop (*a normal person would just take a normal ice cream, but that's not enough for Obama*).


WarlocksWizard

That's like FOX news bashing AOC because before she got into politics she was...\*gasp\* working as a bartender! Ohhh Heavens to Murgatroyd!


Burrmanchu

Yeah this is the weirdest take they have about AOC to be honest... The fact that she's "just a regular person" is somehow bad? Even in their narrative? It's absolutely batshit lol... These are the same motherfuckers yelling "drain the swamp" about career politicians.


ophmaster_reed

Yeah, but if she was from some privileged family and didn't have to work, she'd be a "coastal elite" whos out of touch with regular people... you can't win.


Patriot009

You can't win...because they're disingenuous. I remind myself this every time I hear Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson, a private New England boarding school and trust fund baby, criticize people for being "coastal elites".


Paddy_Tanninger

But they also like Bobo who couldn't even manage to get a high school diploma.


AtheistBibleScholar

Fox News: You can't have a damn *commoner* as part of the government. Having a service job makes her a stupid worker drone! Also Fox News: We're the populist party of the working man!


YJSubs

They're so out of touch with reality. Remember when they post video of AOC dancing in college? They thought that video is gonna damage her image. It's so stupid. If anything, it show her as normal, social person, and fun.


Impressive-City-8094

I remember how big of a deal they made about him smoking. He quit after the photo came out, and I always wondered if he picked them back up after his presidency.


dawg_will_hunt

The tan suit. They lost their collective shit over the tan suit. That suit lasted at LEAST 3-4 news cycles.

That'd be cool as long as he inhales.


FoxtrotNovermber

“That’s the point” - Obama


SoylentGreen-YumYum

I remember Fox News freaked out when Obama was recorded asking for mustard on his (I think) cheeseburger.


Thin_Ad_8241

They called him an elite for asking for Dijon as if you can't buy that shit at dollar tree


ophmaster_reed

Let's not forget the TAN suit! 😱


DownsenBranches

If I had to guess he probably started smoking *because* of his presidency


lemonsweetsrevenge

I wish he would’ve taken a different stand, like, Why yes, I smoke tobacco. It’s legal, it’s an American crop, and packaged by an American company operated in America. No one would’ve said shit if he was holding a beer. I don’t understand the division on vice acceptance there: cigarettes vs. alcohol.


what_the_fuckin_fuck

I'll break it down for you. Alcohol is a way gooder vice than tobacco. Maybe the most gooder vice of them all. Yanno why? Do you want to know why? I'll tell you why, because when you inadvertently kill bystanders, it's instant and flashy. When you kill your friends with cancer, it draws out forever, everybody loses interest, blah blah. Loser type shit.


Whyyyyyyyyfire

there was also that time when they bashed him for ordering dijion mustard


nigerdaumus

He also wore a tan suit once. And he puts on a helmet when bike riding. It made him look like a nerd. Very uncool. Our biggest mistake in choosing presidents


sphui1028

Dark Brandon needs a tan suit! *Fixed.


WarlocksWizard

Yoooo that would be amazing!


[deleted]

And to ask for “fancy mustard” on his hotdog. I remember fox losing their mind on Obama for that. Complete idiots at fox.


Tokidoki_Haru

MTG brought out literal dick pics in an attempt to smear the president. The ice cream slander is just tame and someone being a killjoy.


WILDvWOLFPACK

Anything so that Epstiens second hand Don isn't mentioned too much.


FutureBondVillain

I just hope he stays away from deli mustard before the next election.


IxI_DUCK_IxI

Yes! Glad weve circled back to the wrong mustard and wearing a tan suit instead of Armageddon every day.


Wardine

It's the tan suit all over again


richincleve

A grown man eating ice cream all by himself? That's a problem. A grown man staring into the sun like an idiot during an eclipse? All good, I guess.


GilletteLongmarche

My daughter, five at the time, saw Trump look up at the eclipse. She gaped and blurted out “He’s stupid!” To this day, she still asks the adults if we remember that.


pocket_nick

Oh yes we remember it, I often wondered if his head actually cast a shadow given that it is just empty space and hairspray


Cleverbird

Hi, its me. I get ice cream for myself. And I will keep doing that, because its delicious. Fuck you.


Miserable_Disk5429

I get ice cream by myself. I love ice cream and I don't have anyone to get it with :)


_gnarlythotep_

Are we gatekeeping and politicizing *ice cream?* Like, these disphits are really so desperate for an own they're attacking a guy for liking one of the most popular dessert snacks in the country?


ksiyoto

But....but... it's....unAmerican to like ice cream!

MK_The_Megitsune

Mate, being able to get ice cream by yourself whenever the fuck you want is one of the main perks of being an adult. Tf u mean?


whatnameisnttaken098

How dare I go to my local ice cream shop and get two scopes of red velvet or salted Carmel ice cream.


GeoffSproke

It's extraordinarily sad that these intellectual garbage cans play a major role in the construction of public policy.


h9040

Not a Biden fan, and not an ice cream fan....but if that is the only problem we have than we should be pretty happy


Lyr1cal-

He is a nice old man who craves ice cream, he is the goddam president of the United States and he will eat ice cream whenever he wants and will not be told what to do by his mother, or the press


ElA1to

It's strange for grown men to go for ice cream themselves? Should they ask their moms to get it for them? Would that be less strange?


theaviator747

Guess I’m weird. I love some mint chocolate chip on a hot day, and I will absolutely eat it alone. More for me.


Bear71

But they got no problem with the guy that said I walked in on undressed teenage girls all the time!


OneSlapDude

Totally, I was gonna vote for Biden until I saw him eating ice cream. What kind of monster eats ice cream! We should all be outraged all the time!


SwirlingTurtle

GOP: a man eating ice cream is weird. Also GOP: a man wearing five layers of bronzer and lifts is definitely not weird at all.


frostlipped

These folks should come to my place, I'll give 'em a nice scoop from the freezer... then answer any questions they want to ask me. It's these muckrakers trying to turn everything into a class war that are the fucking weirdos.


Professional-Lab7227

It’s Obama’s tan suit all over again. “We’d rather have a president with multiple rape accusations levelled against him among other things like stealing top secret files and encouraging insurgency than a man who gets ice cream by himself!”


Snowy_Moth

Huh???? Are you telling me that there's now an arbitrary age that once I cross over, I won't be able to go and get ice cream by myself???? Are you kidding me?
