Having solved all other problems, yesterday President Biden met with Mark Hamill as the White House attempted to take advantage of all the "May the..." Star Wars cliches the beginning of this month always bring with it.
And of course, because Karine Jean-Pierre's aren't full of enough fiction, the Star Wars actor joined her in the briefing room:

CBS's @Weijia Jiang: “Did President Biden bring up Star Wars to you, sir?”@MarkHamill: “Well, you know, I called him Mr President. He said, you can call me Joe and I said, Can I call you Joebi-Wan Kenobi. [REPORTERS LAUGH] He liked that.” pic.twitter.com/goTx4yUZUY

These people do have their "priorities," don't they?
Violent antisemitic groups are rioting on college campuses, Americans are hostage in Gaza, and the jobs report was a disaster.

So, how does somebody secure an invitation to this White House? Being "famous" (or at least sorta famous) doesn't hurt, but what no doubt caught the eye of whoever actually runs the White House about Hamill is the embarrassing amount of pro-regime brownnosing and gaslighting he does on a social media account that has five million followers.
Here are some examples from just the last few days:
May The First Not Quench Your Thirst For Biden’s Re-election!#BidenHarris2024 🇺🇸

I can't be sure of course but the Biden campaign must be paying for doozies like that, not unlike many other "influencers" the Dems pay to lie on social media.
Don't be drinking anything when you read the next one:

Oh please! That tweet would be no different if Iran and the Mexican cartels wrote it. You could hear my laughter all the way to his childhood home planet of Tatooine.
Here's one last post: May the Cringe Be With You!

That "defender of democracy" Hamill cheerleads for continues to ignore Supreme Court rulings to buy votes with somebody else's money while his allies attempt to throw his political opponent in prison. "Defending democracy" looks a lot like a banana republic.
