Biden to deliver first public address since leaving White House

Former President Biden is set to deliver his first public address since leaving the White House, speaking at the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) in Chicago on Tuesday, according to a release from the organization.

Biden will headline the event, which is set to focus on rallying bipartisan support for Social Security. “We are deeply honored President Biden is making his first public appearance at ACRD’s sold-out conference,” Rachel Buck, the organization’s executive director, said in a statement announcing Biden’s participation.

“As bipartisan leaders have long agreed, Americans who retire after paying into Social Security their whole lives deserve the vital support and caring services they receive. As a result, we are thrilled the president will be joining us to discuss how we can work together for a stable and successful future for Social Security.”

The showing will make for the former president’s first public remarks since he left office in January — handing the White House back to President Trump, who has continued to blast his predecessor throughout his first few weeks in the Oval Office.

And the more people who show up to hear it, the harder Trump will push to cut off Social Security. Everything he does, he does for spite.

...regarding Joe Biden, addressing a group that represents the disabled.

They won't be able to resist, making loathsome fools of themselves.

I've been thinking for awhile now that I'd love to be a fly on Biden's wall.
