Biden attends first church service as president in DC, stops at local bagel shop

[left-of-center2012]

President Biden attended his first church service as president on Sunday in Washington, D.C.

Biden attended Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Georgetown neighborhood of the nation’s capital on Sunday alongside several family members. He has worshiped at the church over the years and said Sunday's service was "lovely."

After the service, the president’s motorcade stopped at the popular Washington, D.C., deli Call Your Mother in Georgetown. Biden was joined by his son, Hunter Biden, and granddaughters Finnegan Biden and Maisy Biden, according to a White House press pool report.

The deli called the president’s visit a “GREAT Sunday Surprise” on Twitter and shared that it is “thrilled to have an admin again who will love all that DC has to offer,” appearing to jab former President Trump, who rarely, if ever, patronized local Washington, D.C., restaurants.

1. I'm glad he got his order "to go" and a SS man picked it up.

gotta keep him out of crowds. Hopefully in the future he'll be able to go into these places like Obama did.

[OhNo-Really]

2. Cheers. Music DC

[WA-03 Democrat]

3. What the heck

We now have a normal President who gets a round of cheers from the crowd.

It feels so good and I look forward to America improving each and everyday.

Very thankful the United States of America has defeated fascism twice. Hitler and the other pig fucker.

5. The fight is not over yet. Trump's flying monkeys are everywhere. nt

[WA-03 Democrat]

10. The fight for the executive branch and the congress is over for a little while

The people who should be under a rock are retreating and the bot army of Putin has folded up shop. Lost of rats inside still.

We have structural reforms needed in our executive branch. I hope Joe's biggest legacy will be ending the imperial presidency. No one is above the law and burn that DOJ memo now.

[Irish_Dem]

12. True.

I am not sure about Putin's bot army fleeing at this point. I hope so.

I think Joe will end the imperial presidency for sure.

[malaise]

4. Did he run into those two Corinthians?

[highplainsdem]

6. The only DC business Trump ever stopped at was his hotel, according to tweets I've seen about

Biden stopping at Call Your Mother.

7. Can you imagine the cognitive dissonance that the typical evangelical christian Republican voter

must live with?

Trump, the anti-christ.....GOOD!
Biden, the christ-like.....BAD!

9. How do they keep their heads from exploding. lots of hair spray?

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Their spherical helmet of self-righteousness and hubris.

Protects their minds from illumination.

[Karadeniz]

15. That is a great image!!!

[3catwoman3]

19. What an elegant turn of phrase!

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. Feel free to use, without attribution!

16. I know.. the Brainwashing is Deep &

Severe.

[Karadeniz]

8. I don't attend church... tried three, but they didn't cut the Christian mustard. But, I was worried

For Biden. His spirituality extends beyond Catholicism, but church gives him a time to reconnect with spirit. I was worried that he's been so busy, he couldn't have found soul time. I'm so happy to know he made it to a service!

[WA-03 Democrat]

11. Many Catholics that I know go to mass everyday

I know it is important for Joe and know he will make time for the Good Lord. It is his rock.

[Karadeniz]

14. Yes, he is of the belief that, as Jesus said, if you love me, show it in your works. I try to do

That via animal rescue and it's TIRING, EXHAUSTING! I wish I had a place to recharge, like Biden has.

[monmouth4]

23. I'm pretty sure I read Madam Speaker Pelosi goes to Mass every day. n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Bagel shop? What kind of church did he go to? No doughnuts/coffee, no pancakes?

I hope he observes Shrove Tuesday with a box of Paczkis.

[left-of-center2012]

18. As stated,

He went to the holy Trinity Catholic Church.

[halfulglas]

21. My Polish heart is longing.

[BrightKnight]

26. That's sad reminder, no Church pancake dinner for Shrove Tuesday this year.

No parish children burning palms with the Rector for Ash Wednesday.

[theneworiginal]

22. How is the religious right ever going to hate this man?

They really have their work cut out for them. It's going to be hard for them to ever replace a guy like tRump who was so close to God.

[keithbvadu2]

24. How many people did he tear gas to get to the church?

How many people did he tear gas to get to the church?

(Sarcasm thingie goes here)

[BrightKnight]

25. I hope that he can find a way to receive communion regularly.

I know it is difficult to do that as President but is important and it also sends an important message. Most Presidents do not practice their faith properly while they are in office and that is sad. I am Episcopalian I miss being able to participate in the Eucharist several times a week.

Perhaps a Priest could visit regularly. During Covid I setup an alter at home, pick up the sacrament from my car, and worship virtually. I imagine the RCC has online Mass and Daily Offices. There are options and I hope he finds a way to do it.

27. I'm pretty sure they have online Mass

I know it's televised.

[a kennedy]

28. and I know we've got to keep the POTUS safe, but damn, ALL THOSE CARS?????

[left-of-center2012]

29. Yep

I think a presidential motorcade involves about 12 cars.
Lots of secret service, staff, and of course reporters..

Reporters go everywhere the president goes,
just in case.
