On Valentine’s Day in 2009, Biden jogged 2 1/2 miles from the vice president’s residence to the White House. While the vice president was in a meeting, she snuck into his office with the help of his assistant and painted “big multicolored hearts all over his windows for Valentine’s Day.
Not gonna lie, that's really sweet.
Not gonna lie, that's not a prank.
YouTube prank videos would be more enjoyable if it was.
Agreed. Or, likewise, if they were actual pranks and not excuses to commit various felonies.
Good thing she isn't married to Bill Clinton. Imagine the awkwardness
Not sure why the downvotes, I thought it was a pretty good joke.
What could go wrong if I, First Lady Hillary, just go into the Oval Office unannounced?
IYKYK.
The real pranks were the first ladies we made along the way.
I also choose this guys First Lady.
She was doing this in her 60’s. Gives me hope that I can still get away with ridiculous stuff when I’m that age.
Only if you're rich enough to have the best doctors, dieticians, trainers, etc in America.
Or if you live somewhere with universal healthcare.
*Good universal healthcare
I said what I meant and I don’t need you correcting it, thanks.
There are countries with underfunded, and ineffective universal healthcare systems. Ofc this doesn’t mean private healthcare would be better.
Please, tell me how great South Africa’s public healthcare is
Lol take your pick. Even Burkina Faso has universal health care, although I doubt you know how to find it on a map.
I hope you realise though that Americans pay more out of pocket even with insurance than you would pay in taxes for UH, primarily because of the price gouging pharmaceutical industry you guys set up there.
Bruh I support UBI and Universal Healthcare. I’m just pointing out how shit the idea that trash public healthcare is a good thing. The progressivists and Britain are fighting tooth and nail to kept the NHS from being gutted, and similarly we should fight for all healthcare systems to be as good as possible. Not settle for a useless and shitty “In theory this works” public healthcare system
Need a husband, I could use some of that free health care, my teeth hurt
I actually had a chance to talk to someone who is part of the flight crew who flies her (And other dignitaries) for the US as first lady and they said Jill Biden is the real deal. Extremely nice, even singing happy birthday to one of the crew when she found out it is their birthday.
Kind of one of those things I'm glad to hear about.
Though I kind of thought there was something off, but this was back when Biden was VP. (She would almost never fly on Air Force 2 now since that's the VP's designation)
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard about a first lady.
Wow, these famous people sure have a weird sense of humor to do something like this just for fun.
She could be doing something worthwhile with her time instead, like shitposting on a niche forum of 30 something years old tech workers about a movie for little girls.
Hey Margot Robbie, I love that new film you're in about the atomic bomb
That's Academy Award nominated esteemed character actress Margot Robbie to you!
And I know "Babylon" bombed, OK? You can stop reminding me now.
I muat say, Academy Award nominated esteemed character actress Margot Robbie to you, I admire your commitment to the bit lol
It's almost like I do this for a living or something.
I know this is almost certainly parody but a small part of me can't help but go "okay but what if".
No one will ever believe you.
Saw your new film this morning. Great stuff, I’m actually astonished it got green-lit, it being a bit weird (in a good way!) at times. I too am damn sure you’re nothing more than a parody account… but here I am hoping it isn’t ;-).
I want to believeeeeeee
Wow I didn't know posting on Lemmy was your job, cool
To bad she didn’t stay in there
Lemmy is so reddit 2.0 lol, fucking astroturfing for Biden.
How am I astroturfing? I just thought this was some funny shit for a grown ass woman to do.
"Anybody who likes things I don't like most be brainwashed or paid to lie!" - that asshole, probably
Honestly, any First Lady doing this would’ve been funny AF. Only thing funnier would’ve been one of the more formal / stuffier first ladies. Imagine if Barbara Bush did that. She would be a legend. 
Apparently famous grown ass women are just not allowed to be funny on the internet now.
You are in the wrong place for that talk. You are looking for truth social or that kind of things for that type of talk
Nah I'll stick around :)
Why tho?
Nah he’s just popular among this group, most of us are techies
Or people just find humanizing moments in leaders and their spouses very endearing.
Here, I'll give you an example with Trump (probably the only example I have). There was one interview where he was asked about his youngest son, Barron, and his response was talking about how great he was with computers and technology, but in the typical boomer way of saying all the wrong terms with the wrong grammar. That's stayed with me all this time, he seemed very genuinely proud of him.
Biden has had plenty of these over his career. I like how he defends Hunter and doesn't see him as worse for having gone through a drug addiction. Leaked phone calls show it wasn't an act either -- he genuinely still loved and cared about his son.
And then you've got Obama, who was chock full of them. It's a big reason why he's so well-liked. He was very in tune with jokes about him and he played off of them. Remember the White House Correspondents Dinner where he said he was releasing his birth video to prove he was American, and then showed the beginning of Lion King?
Even Bush. He was listening to schoolchildren when he got the news about 9/11. He first finished what he was doing with the kids so they wouldn't be alarmed, and then he addressed the situation from an adjacent classroom. He made it a point to give those kids at least another hour or two of being able to be carefree kids, and I respect that.
That pretty much covers all of the ones in my lifetime that I've been old enough to pay attention to.
How do you that it's astroturfing and not that you're actually in the minority?
Stop humanizing politicians.
uwu what are you doing step president?
So, I've got legs behind head in my mental image....
