He’s milking the expense account because no one is stopping him. State Dept staff do what they are told.

You realize that Obama spent $50,000 of taxpayer money PER WEEK (2009-2011) on his Martha's Vineyard home rentals + staff, SS, right? Not to mention, many other high-end vacations for himself and family. Did you begrudge those too? How about all of Biden's vacations with multiple grandkids and Jill's back and forth trips to Paris and Wilmington? Funny how it's just this one man who triggers you, but not at all surprising.

No matter what Trump and Vance do, people whose minds have turned to putrid mush due to incessant hate for not getting their way, will find something negative.

Vance could discover a cure for cancer and heal millions but what would Democrats do? They would claim only certain people were being cured of cancer so somewhere there must be racism or inequality.

It is my hope Vance will be the potent POTUS for 8 years after Trump. This would set back the horrible Leftist agenda by decades. The whining over the climate would subside to a few Marxists muttering in their basements, fossil fuelophobia would end, and the Pronoun Nazis will fade into oblivion.

+ a million!

And you’ll be slurping something orange between now and then

Trump is likely golfing and Vance’s wife likely reads dcum and heard that her kids are the right age for a trip to London.

Honestly, if both are out of DC at the same time, that makes me nervous (like they know something we don’t).

You know Vance is not President, right?

Also, Fox News complained about Obama's vacations endlessly, so I guess they set a precedent for complaining.

Oddly, they never seem to tally up the costs of Trump's golfing, his frequent stays at Mar-a-Lago (money going straight from USG to Trump's pockets), or Melania's independent living in NYC.

Hopefully Vance will put an end to the two- party system forever and the need for competitive elections.

Haha, Usha reading DCUM for travel tips and other things. Do you think some of these people are on DCUM?

Time was when POTUS and VPOTUS made it a point to vacation in the USA and contribute to the home economy.

What is this? I thought Vance hated Europe and its social democracies. Why vacation there? Such hypocrisy.

And how does he have all this time to vacation???

Vance is probably meeting with the murdochs.

So Vance’s four day luxury family trip to Paris was equivalent to about 10 weeks of Obama at his house. Gee, I wonder who wasted more money?

I don’t begrudge POTUS or VP who travel and need security to accompany them. Of course that will cost money. But that’s not what we are talking about here. Let me know when the Obama family traveled to London or Paris for a purely discretionary trip, took over an entire wing of the hotel, and enjoyed themselves in the lap luxury on the taxpayers’ dole. There was zero reason for Vance and family to go to Paris when his business was in Munich.

Biden already did this by making Harris the candidate with no primary first. So.

Are you talking about Vance's trip to Paris for the AI summit in Feb - IN PARIS? Where he brought along his family? Give me a break! That wasn't a "purely discretional trip." How many times did Biden and Obama bring their families along so they could vacation after his business was over? You just sound bitter and petty. Of course, you begrudge POTUS and/or VP travel - if they happen to be Republicans. Democrats? Sure! Travel away!

I remember when Obama took his first trip on Air Force One in 2009 and the Dem media breathlessly reported on how he ordered a cheddar cheeseburger for lunch from the galley staff. Everything The One did was worthy of celebration.

+1
And certainly, taking his family along on business trips was something that was cheered by the left. I don't care either way - if I was VP or POTUS, I'd bring my kids along too. But the utter hypocrisy is just so comical when a Republican president/VP does exactly the same thing.

This from the article ,,,,

Earlier in August, Vance and his family are expected to visit London, despite the vice-president having previously expressed reservations about the city, which he said – shortly before last year’s presidential election – was “not English any more.”



So Vance made a statement about how London looks more like his immigrant wife’s country than it does England.

Maybe he should learn that the British Empire and hence, London, was founded on India. What a moron.
