Biden stops in Chicago again to blast Trump, praise Black legal pioneers at National Bar Association gala
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | July 31, 2025 | Violet Miller

Posted on 08/01/2025 6:16:28 AM PDT by PBRCat

In his second post-office visit in Chicago, former President Joe Biden stopped to accept an award from the National Bar Association, blasting President Donald Trump without ever saying his name to the crowd at the Hyatt Regency in the Loop Thursday evening.

“Judges matter, courts matter, the law matters, and the constitution matters,” Biden said. “I think a lot of Americans are starting to realize that under this president. … Get ready folks, he’s just starting.”

Biden Thursday decried the abduction of immigrants from their families and communities while highlighting attacks on civil rights and voter access.

“There are moments so stark that they divide all that came before and everything that follows,” Biden said. “We are at such a moment in American history, reflected in every cruel executive outreach, every rollback of freedoms.”

Biden looked ill at the speech. He was thinner as if he recently lost weight.

Shame on Hunter and Jill for continuing to exploit this elderly and frail man.

“””Biden stopped to accept an award from the National Bar Association,”””””””””””

Joe looked “confused” because he thought he was getting an award for going to the most bars.

Who wrote that speech for him? Because he sure didn’t write it himself; he doesn’t have the brains to string together a sentence himself.

The democrats are still unable to quit using “race” all the time.

People are sick of race being used by the democrats regarding everything.

Race fatigue.

After talking about justice, Joe should have re-enacted his pardon of Hunter.
That would have been a nice touch.

The Trump Curse.......

An acclaimed restaurant patronized by Popes, presidents and the usual celebs was forced to close after the owner stupildy read the room wrong and went online w/ a vicious anti-Trump post.”

After President Trump chose it for a fundraising dinner on September 26, 2017, an account under owner Sirio Maccioni’s name issued the following (since-deleted) response to a Yelp review that alleged the restaurant was “aiding and abetting fascists and white supremacists.”

“Yelp please remove this social media nazi white supremacist who incites hate and violence against hard working immigrant restaurant workers. Real New Yorkers have come to our restaurant this week and now business is booking. Best week of the year in sales. Jamie R is a nazi white supremacist and must be removed from Yelp together with his haters and bigot friends.”

Son Mauro Maccioni, a manager, (who was not reachable by phone) told Eater that a restaurant employee named Carlo Mantica, not his father, was responsible for the controversial response: “It was a mistake to engage, and Mr. Mantica’s views are his own and not those of the company,” Mauro said.

LeisureFood reported:
Legendary New York City Restaurant Le Cirque Is Closing. The dining institution is expected to serve its last meal on New Year’s Eve.

Chicago is Joey’s kind of town.

And shysters are his kind of people.

The article probably did not mention that the master of ceremonies had to call for Biden’s entrance three times before he came in with a granddaughter on each side of him. He looked totally lost. …. And very frail.

I have always thought that he suffers from vascular dementia in which parts of the brain still work while other parts do not. Biden could not even read a number correctly during the 2020 campaign. He does not know where he is. He can still read a Teleprompter with vigor.

Those who thought he had Alzheimer’s in 2020 might not have been familiar with vascular dementia. With Alzheimer’s, a person’s brain goes down more steadily in all parts. Dementia caused by strokes preserve parts of the brain while other parts are destroyed. After each vascular event, some of the lost function might return though seldom to the pre-event level. I watched a formerly brilliant loved one lose mental and physical function from vascular dementia during his last years on earth. It is very sad.

Yes, they do. And that's why Trump is working so hard to restore them to their proper place.

Interesting verb in title, “stops”. Implies he was going somewhere else as well. I doubt it.

--- "Get ready folks, he's just starting." Said Biden.

I'll take that as words of encouragement.

To repeat and with a broad smile, "Get ready folks, he's just starting."

Le Cirque, the iconic New York City restaurant, closed due to what it “said” were rising rent costs, operational challenges, and a decline in the restaurant’s reputation and popularity.

After President Trump chose it for a fundraising dinner on September 26, 2017, an account under owner Sirio Maccioni’s name issued the following (since-deleted) response to a Yelp review that alleged the restaurant was “aiding and abetting fascists and white supremacists.”

“Yelp please remove this social media nazi white supremacist who incites hate and violence against hard working immigrant restaurant workers. Real New Yorkers have come to our restaurant this week and now business is booking. Best week of the year in sales. Jamie R is a nazi white supremacist and must be removed from Yelp together with his haters and bigot friends.”


The restaurant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March,2018, highlighting significant financial difficulties. The restaurant also faced bankruptcy and legal issues, including sexual harassment and wage lawsuits.

Rising Costs:
The primary reason cited for the closure was the high cost of rent in Manhattan, particularly for a restaurant of Le Cirque’s stature.

Operational Challenges:Le Cirque also faced other operational challenges, which, combined with the high rent, made it difficult to remain profitable.


Bankruptcy and Legal Issues: Additionally, Le Cirque was dealing with lawsuits related to sexual harassment and wage disputes.

A scathing review by The New York Times criticized the restaurant’s plating and suggested a decline in its standards, which may have impacted its popularity.

The restaurant industry in New York City was evolving, with a shift in dining preferences and a move of high-wealth residents to different neighborhoods, impacting Le Cirque’s customer base.

No one would hold it against Biden if he gave a short-boilerplate “rah-rah” talk, as it is normally unbecoming for an ex-president to attack the new president in the manner he did (except for the extraordinary and rare times when the ex-president is running against the man for a second term, as happened with Trump).

True. But Biden just read what his masters wrote for him. He doesn’t know what it means.
