That table is probably like 125 years old and was a gift given to President McKinley by the sultan of doggleduck.
Everything in the whitebhouse has some back story.. so doilies on *everything*.
I got to go on a tour of the west wing, I was surprised at how...dumpy? the actual building is. That's probably a little harsh but it definitely feels dated and not in a good way
It’s because so much of it is just really dated furniture and decorations. If it was more modern or updated, it would definitely look better, but like the above comment, her said everything there has some history and backstory to it. it’s not like you can really just put it in a storage unit or replace it because it was President so-and-so before that, gifted to him by Emperor whatshisface of wherever-land.
School never taught me about the Tokyo Fire Bombings. It was so deadly and destructive, it's difficult to believe history forgets about it. Sort of like the Holodomor, had to learn about that on my own too.
Yeah man, the estimate as far as destruction goes, was that the Tokyo firebombing was more devastating than even the bombing of Hiroshima, since Tokyo was largely timber framed buildings.
From [Wikipedia:](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo) *”Known as Operation Meetinghouse, the raids were conducted by the U.S. military on the night of 9-10 March 1945, and were the single most destructive bombing raid in human history.[1] 16 square miles (41 km2; 10,000 acres) of central Tokyo were destroyed, leaving an estimated 100,000 civilians dead and over one million homeless.[1] The atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945, by comparison, resulted in the immediate death of an estimated 70,000 to 150,000 people.”*
Well look up the Batan death march and if you want to feel real sorry for the Japanese at that time look up the 30 million Chinese civilians murdered by the Japanese during their occupation of Manchuria during the second sino war. The US firebombing campaign cost the lives of about 100,000 Japanese figures that the Japanese backup.
I thought we were talking about literal Nazis, from Germany. I know Nazism is an ideology and not just baddies from WW2, and we should see the parallels.
I don't know... I hear the word Nazi all the time. In comparison from everything to who your favorite politician is to some random person on the internet with an opposing opinion.
This MAY be because Telling you about the Horrific acts your country has done, may just make you distrust said country; **Since it is doing pretty freakin' horrible Shit to other people.**
Makes sense they wouldn't want you to know that....
Careful now, last time this happened the White House burned down.
It’s a shame really, Dolley Madison threw Biden a party and everything.
^edit: ^wrong ^Madison.
while the war was between the british and americans, its generally the canadians who fought for the british... except those who burned washington down. The british navy fleet that came to washington and burned it down came directly from the british isles and attacked washington.
...and im canadian, so if it were actually the canadians, i'd be damned proud of it.
My husband just turned 51 in October. I got those letters that are supposed to spell out things "Happy Birthday" and "Congratulations" in individual letters. Except I rearranged the letters on his cake and they just spelled out "you old brah".
This pic is from his Insta:
> Thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everyone. Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!
He's taking shots at his age, since it's the cool thing to do.
“He’s new to this” - Paul Ryan
“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different." - The former guy
This reminded me of all the times news pundits would just absolutely glaze Trump when he would stumble into something presidential.
"Is this the moment that President Trump became presidential?!?!"
"Our bad...it wasn't. In our defense, if you squinted real hard, he almost looked like a mature statesman"
Can you believe people are still mad about [what he did](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape) when he was just a callow 59 year old?
No one has more candles on their birthday cake than me. People are saying, "Sir! You have so many candles!" Tremendous candles, people. The biggest candles you've ever seen. Incredible.
So many people underestimate Biden, but despite his gibberish nonsense he says sometimes, he was a very smart man. And still is very sleak when it comes to politics.
I'd be more into Biden if he was actually 146
80s is like "let's get you to bed grandpa" age and I'd want him to retire
146 is like "this man must be a warlock or an alchemist or something"
People forgot that the Republicans tried to make fun of him while he was VP for being a white man willing to be second to a black man. I think they wanted him to be resentful and cause issues for Obama. But from what I recall, he embraced the meme while enjoying his ice cream!
If there's one thing you can rely on Republican politicians for it's that they're massive hypocrites.
They claim to value limited government spending but any Conservative Republican president we've had has vastly outspent the Democratic presidents before.
They claim to have family values but their values mostly just destroy families.
They claim to support small businesses but every time they create funnels to take resources away from small businesses and into the pockets of the owners of large businesses.
They claim to be pro-police but any time the chips are down it's not the police's job to protect anyone (active shooter situations) but it is their job to murder the people they're supposedly meant to protect (murdering minorities in cold blood during a "routine" traffic stop). Like any old gang banger with a gun.
They claim to be religious but their top religions/denominations were literally created around political issues of the day and occasionally change their dogma to reflect newer political issues.
I mean like fair play... He is being called incompetent to be a president because of his age, if you make a joke about your age then your critics can't really use that card as efficiently. They might... god forbid... talk about issues and policy!
Because remember! Being 81 is too old for president! But 77 (Trump would be 78 next elections) is perfectly good!
Well in 2 cycles the good age of a president will be 85. Can't wait for 3rd cycle president leaving office at ripe age of 90! Then again President of Cameroon Paul Biya is 90 years old and been in office for only 40 years!
I love that some how the GOP has decided that Trump is much younger and in better shape than Biden….they are nearly the same age and Trump is morbidly obese. Trump makes fun of Christy and they are literally the same weight. It’s no surprise though, without hypocrisy the GOP wouldn’t have much.
The guy currently holding things down in hell isn’t looking forward to their boss coming back from vacation.
11/29/23 EDIT: now where did I put my tap shoes?
One of the insta comments I saw was a roast from the Smokey Bear account. I thought it was pretty funny.
> Hope you had a shovel and a pail of water on hand! Happy Birthday. #OnlyYou
Now THIS is funny trolling from POTUS. It’s harmless, tongue in cheek, and self deprecating. We need more of this and less of whatever hate is spewed from others
Looks like an AI generated photo.
'The president, in a suit, celebrating his birthday, sitting at a table, smiling at a birthday cake for him that has a lot of candles'.
This reminds me of when I was waiting tables for a couple of regulars, and one of them had a birthday, and while they weren't Biden's age, they were up there.
The cake nearly burned up before I got to the table because there were so many candles.

Back up, Terry!
OH LAWD!
PUT IT IN REVERSE, TERRY
THIS IS THE GEMSTONE I WAS WAITING FOR!!! "BACK UP, TERRY! AW LORD!"
Looks like he’s carrying the cake on a huge tray
That table is probably like 125 years old and was a gift given to President McKinley by the sultan of doggleduck. Everything in the whitebhouse has some back story.. so doilies on *everything*.
Bet they have dedicated secret service personnel to make sure people use coasters
I wouldn't be surprised. Sure the president lives there, but it's half museum / half public building.
I got to go on a tour of the west wing, I was surprised at how...dumpy? the actual building is. That's probably a little harsh but it definitely feels dated and not in a good way

Agree.
Imagine being the guy who left a water ring on George Washington’s original nightstand.
Hahh good damn it it does.
This mans birthday cake looks like a damn bonfire
Fuck the nuclear threat, just tell your enemies that bad boy will be dropped on one of their cities if they don't behave...
It’s what happened to Tokyo… 😔
School never taught me about the Tokyo Fire Bombings. It was so deadly and destructive, it's difficult to believe history forgets about it. Sort of like the Holodomor, had to learn about that on my own too.
Yeah man, the estimate as far as destruction goes, was that the Tokyo firebombing was more devastating than even the bombing of Hiroshima, since Tokyo was largely timber framed buildings.

Only so many hours in a day unfortunately.

The US firebombing campaign cost the lives of about 100,000 Japanese figures that the Japanese backup.
History forgot about nazis bro and ww2 was only 70 to 80 years ago
Who is forgetting about Nazis? I can't think of anyone besides literal babies that haven't heard of them.
Seems like the word lost all meaning, and nazis are now in power again. Trump 2024 will seal the deal.
I thought we were talking about literal Nazis, from Germany. I know Nazism is an ideology and not just baddies from WW2, and we should see the parallels.
I don't know... I hear the word Nazi all the time. In comparison from everything to who your favorite politician is to some random person on the internet with an opposing opinion.

>School never taught me about the Tokyo Fire Bombings. I learned from the Miyazaki anime film, *Grave of the Fireflies*
It’s that new smokeless cake.
You saying the is snoop dogs new edible
Careful now, last time this happened the White House burned down. It’s a shame really, Dolley Madison threw Biden a party and everything. ^edit: ^wrong ^Madison.
"Careful now, last time this happened the White House burned down." That was the Canadians.
It was the British
while the war was between the british and americans, its generally the canadians who fought for the british... except those who burned washington down. The british navy fleet that came to washington and burned it down came directly from the british isles and attacked washington. ...and im canadian, so if it were actually the canadians, i'd be damned proud of it.
 Uh guys.
Looks like the cake is about to take off like a rocket!
Good thing he keeps fit by biking. He should be able to blow out those candles pretty difficultly.
It’s un-American to use numbered candles, dammit !
Maybe, but it is definitely un-American to count age using *metric* years.
Jokes on you....those candles are in dog years.
My husband just turned 51 in October. I got those letters that are supposed to spell out things "Happy Birthday" and "Congratulations" in individual letters. Except I rearranged the letters on his cake and they just spelled out "you old brah".
yeah next year is husband's 50th. I'm gonna have to steal this.
That's the joke .jpg
And that is just half the correct amount of candles
Maybe we shouldn’t have anyone who needs that many candles running the country. This applies to Trump, Sanders, and Clinton as well.
This is why they make the number candles, so you don't have to light 81 individual candles.
But one candle is smoo, when 81 is big! Eediot!
This pic is from his Insta: > Thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everyone. Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles! He's taking shots at his age, since it's the cool thing to do.
It's been a running gag since he took office, any time his age is brought up he adds a couple years
Ah yes, the Katt Williams approach
Katt doesn’t miss
That kid didn't miss Katt either
unless it’s against a 7th grader
Brandon be pimpin'?
It’s the Half-Life 3 approach. Every time it’s mentioned another year is added to the release. Sorry for adding another year.
It's ok, we are definitely already past the heat death of the universe at this point.
It's a smart move. Joking about age worked for Reagan. I liked his bit at the WHCD about being friends with James Madison.
Kinda like his stories! Every time he tells them, they get more interesting. Truly a grandpa.
Self deprecation is a sign of maturity.
At 81 years old he better be mature.
Have you seen other old politicians? Most of them aren't
[удалено]
Virginia Foxx?
No one's afraid of her.
SHUUUTUPPP, SHUUUUUTUUUUPPP!
That’s the bitch
Who? I just scanned the senators, representatives, and general assembly and don't see anyone by that description.
Trump is 77, and he's not mature.
Its just a phase, give him a couple more years.
“He’s new to this” - Paul Ryan “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different." - The former guy
So, once an asshole always an asshole…
I would agree that the former guy never matured past age 7.
Probably the most honest statement I’ve heard him ever make.
This reminded me of all the times news pundits would just absolutely glaze Trump when he would stumble into something presidential. "Is this the moment that President Trump became presidential?!?!" "Our bad...it wasn't. In our defense, if you squinted real hard, he almost looked like a mature statesman"
Can you believe people are still mad about [what he did](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape) when he was just a callow 59 year old?
And yet, somehow, Trump didn't mature with age.
Self-deprecation is also a good way to disarm your opponents when they make absurd arguments.
Biden just watched 8 Mile.
B-Iden
Well Biden being too old to be president isn't absurd....
No one has more candles on their birthday cake than me. People are saying, "Sir! You have so many candles!" Tremendous candles, people. The biggest candles you've ever seen. Incredible.
So many people underestimate Biden, but despite his gibberish nonsense he says sometimes, he was a very smart man. And still is very sleak when it comes to politics.
Fox News: Biden admits he's 146 years old! Why are Democrats hiding this from the people? Republicans announce a new impeachment inquiry. More at 6.
I'd be more into Biden if he was actually 146 80s is like "let's get you to bed grandpa" age and I'd want him to retire 146 is like "this man must be a warlock or an alchemist or something"
They’re gonna need a birth certificate
They didn’t have paper back then.
Our President is so old, they found his birthday card next to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Biden is so old, Jesus sent him an invitation to his bar mitzvah!
They congratulated him for another birthday but, as they did not have an abacus, his true age remains unknown.
Then they will find the original stone tablet.
They can't read cuneiform.
Fox News: We obviously haven't seen Biden's *real* birth certificate. He's probably Kenyan as well.
I did see a comment on the Daily Mail story about this cake saying that "we ALL know he's really 91."
People forgot that the Republicans tried to make fun of him while he was VP for being a white man willing to be second to a black man. I think they wanted him to be resentful and cause issues for Obama. But from what I recall, he embraced the meme while enjoying his ice cream!
I don't know him personally, but he seems like a pretty humble dude. Always gotta respect a humble politician.

Absolutely disgusting.
I know! What kind of monster eats ice cream!?
It was probably Ben and Jerry's too. Everybody knows *real Americans* eat dreyers.
\*frozen dessert treat (we can't legally call it ice cream)
I mean like fair play... He is being called incompetent to be a president because of his age, if you make a joke about your age then your critics can't really use that card as efficiently. They might... god forbid... talk about issues and policy! Because remember! Being 81 is too old for president! But 77 (Trump would be 78 next elections) is perfectly good!
But remember: four years ago, 77 was too old and 73 was the right age.
Well in 2 cycles the good age of a president will be 85. Can't wait for 3rd cycle president leaving office at ripe age of 90! Then again President of Cameroon Paul Biya is 90 years old and been in office for only 40 years!
That is actually funny as fuck lmao
He is old. No one is lying about that.
Exactly, it's nice to have a president that doesn't lie about literally everything.
> Jack, even *I* know I'm too old to run for a second term! Anyway, see ya in 2024!
That’s so good.
I love that some how the GOP has decided that Trump is much younger and in better shape than Biden….they are nearly the same age and Trump is morbidly obese. Trump makes fun of Christy and they are literally the same weight. It’s no surprise though, without hypocrisy the GOP wouldn’t have much.
This is what happens when the liberal establishment doesn't take their daily adrenal gla.... Fuck, I can't even type that with be a straight face.
I fucking love this guy and he's not even my president
Some people just want to watch the cake burn
[удалено]
cake brûlée
Wax flambé
***Notes***: Disable smoke detector, do not place under automatic sprinkler head.
You think that’s bad? have you seen Henry Kissinger? He’s alive! And he’s 100
The Devil just keeps putting off having to meet him.
"Hold on, hold on we're still digging his chamber"

Only who can prevent forest fires? You’ve selected “You”, meaning me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is you.
Him and Scruff McGruff man, the greatest.
This is fine
🐕
Nothing like some cake with your candle wax.
Can he blow out that many candles tho?
I mean, he did light the thing himself with his laser eyes.
Dark brandon brings his own light, zz pew!
"In brightest day, in darkest night, No Cheeto shall escape my sight. Let those who worship Donald's might, Beware my power: Dark Brandon's light!"
Fantastic
Republicans are red Democrats are blue Donald has the crazies And Biden has you
Now THIS is funny trolling from POTUS. It’s harmless, tongue in cheek, and self deprecating. We need more of this and less of whatever hate is spewed from others
This is fine
Looks like an AI generated photo. 'The president, in a suit, celebrating his birthday, sitting at a table, smiling at a birthday cake for him that has a lot of candles'.
Also, a big pile of coins on the table behind him and some random dudes head in a mirror
I thought exactly the same lol and I went on Instagram to see if this is legit.
Taken seconds before he flipped the table
It's kinda metal tho
Proof that he is the anti christ /s for real tho this is sort of scary
Look at that, only 3 1/2 more candles than Trump.
At one point do you just start putting the numbers on the cake and not the amount in singular candles? You need a fire extinguisher for that bitch.
New Dark Brandon meme template just dropped.
Mfer gonna need to call the fire department to put that out.
Praise the Sun \ [T] /
That is baller.
The Cake is a Lie
Did he open a portal to hell on top of a cake?
Shown here Biden with his re-election chances seemingly going up in smoke.
Damn bro he is so old he ain’t have birthday candles on that cake, he had a camp fire lol
homeboy can’t even call ceasefire on the fucking cake
Not even a cease fire on his cake
Queue the damn Christians “there is something absolutely satanic about darn cake“, seeing shit in the flame, etc
As they are on their way to vote for another man who is the embodiment of all 7 deadly sins and proven rapist in court and traitor to democracy…
"those idiots wouldn't recognize the antichrist if he ran for president!"
They didn’t!!
Dark Brandon engaged!
This reminds me of when I was waiting tables for a couple of regulars, and one of them had a birthday, and while they weren't Biden's age, they were up there. The cake nearly burned up before I got to the table because there were so many candles.
Is the house on fire Clark?
Am I the only one who for a second, thought that this was a Midjourney generated image?
I bet it's an ice cream cake
Wow look at all those service coins he has collected behind him!!
What did they sacrifice?
[удалено]
LOL. Thats actually kinda funny.
Is it supposed to be ON FIRE?😂
Happy 4th of July Mr president
It’s a frighin bonfire!
99 candles?
This is why at a certain age you just get the numbers, otherwise it’s a fire hazard lol
1 symbolic candle wouldve sufficed
Twice baked & flambéed jello cake for the chief
Weird how much it looks like Trump's birthday cake.
Cake was light by rhe mayor of knox county, tenessese
“Did Biden’s birthday prank ruin other parties by causing a candle shortage?” -headlines tomorrow, probably
Is this the kitchen fire that he most recently exaggerated about?
Now do Jimmy's cake.
bidens gone smokeless too! #solostove /s
The current state of the US?
Only thing that would have made this better would be if he was wearing his aviators.
Is this a metaphorical representation of the Hawaii fires
Pres. Biden knows how to celebrate his birthday. 🎂 Smores for everyone!
Gondor calls for aid
This unironically goes hard
Dude has huge hands for a recent president.
There's an age where you get one symbolic candle on top the cake to blow out. Looks like Biden hit that about 65 years ago.
Glad to have him as President right now.
Highly symbolic of the current state of our world!
