President Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, touching down at LAX as the sun rose, later to be surrounded by stars.
Wearing a black baseball cap bearing the presidential seal, sneakers and a dark blazer with no tie, Biden hustled down Air Force One’s ramp and into his motorcade as dawn broke. Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, accompanied him.
With former President Barack Obama rolling in to help buoy the glitzy fund-raiser, Biden was scheduled to share a Downtown L.A. stage with Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, a big-money Hollywood-style event aiming to reel millions for the president’s re-election campaign.

That figure overtakes the $26 million Democrats brought in from a fund-raiser in March in New York featuring talk-show host Stephen Colbert moderating a talk between Biden, Obama and former President Bill Clinton.
Pool reports said the president’s motorcade took an an uneventful early-morning ride of some 20 minutes through a largely deserted City of the Angels — perhaps the last traffic-free ride of the weekend. The reports did not mention any high-profile folks joining the president on the ride, just an array of about a dozen staff members.

Biden had to leave to be back in U.S. airspace in time for Vice President Kamala Harris to depart for the Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland, the official said.

Manure Tanker lands in LA for star-studded, record-setting Downtown event Biden will share.
Will they all look at each other wondering what Biden is saying each time Biden speaks...Then translate to each other what he was trying to say?
What is worse than the money is the fact that Biden skipped the formal dinner for the G7 leaders. That meeting was not scheduled last week. The Dems probably could not take the risk of his interacting with others without a Teleprompter for such a long time.
Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.
Hate speech?
Right by the name Roberts.
