And "Americans are struggling to make ends meet" is a condition that is true 100% of the time. The only thing that varies (slightly) is 'how many Americans'.

And I don't think that number is especially high at this moment relative to most times in US history.

How many times did IQ45 leave DC in his first year?

Were any of those times done with the express purpose of visiting his kids and grandkids, as Biden does? I doubt very many of them. He was off to attend to his personal business interests, and play golf. At a VASTLY greater expense to the taxpayer.

The entire RePuQ party are nothing but a cesspool of shameless liars and propagandists.

If he HADN'T left DC during this time, they'd instead be whining that he doesn't care about his family during the holidays.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate these fucking people?

Delaware is literally right down the road. For years as a Senator, Biden took the train back and forth from Wilmington every day. He very likely took work home with him back then and I would bet that he still does. He's always at work, really. If VP Harris was going back and forth to California every week, that might be considered excessive, but going to Wilmington is about like going to Camp David.

Does he refer it it as the Delaware Whitehouse, does he charge the secret service to stay at his house, does he have his cabinet come to see him at his house while charging people to come rat at his house and see how important he is, does he endanger us by playing mr big to show off for his friends, nope, he does what he has done for the last 40 years.

I just don’t get it.

Presidents are "on the job" 24/7/365. Period. The @GOP knows that as well as a President.

The costs for transportation.
The costs for security.
The time and distances away from the White House.

It is just totally beyond belief that any RepubliQan would EVER say a single fuckin' word about ANY other president and how they spent their time.
