But again why does he take so many vacations? It’s like one a week at this point. Disney wasn’t even a month ago. |
Jd Vance is not the president though. He does shit all and then takes a vacation. Like Trump spends a lot of time golfing but at least he actually does things occasionally. Also I know JD is fat but he shouldn’t need as much rest as two septuagenarians. |
Do you really not understand what the VP does in the Senate? Doesn’t seem like you do, since you think he doesn’t do anything. Are you a Brit? You sound like one. |
Are you really this violently stupid? Like, what, the secret service was out kayaking and Prance decides to take a spin? They raised the water so Prancie could kayak. You think that because it was for other boats that it wasn’t for HIM? Jesus Christ, I feel bad for you. |
He’s heading off to the fancy part of the UK soon-the Cotswolds. I guess we can see he’s no longer as attached to his couch now that he has Air Force 2 to fly him everywhere |
Unless the VP does more than the president then he doesn’t need more vacation time than two sleepy old men. I don’t think that presiding over the senate is particularly strenuous but congrats to you on getting a B in regular United States history in high school. |

Vance is saying he didn’t know about the river being altered…he does seem to have a knack of getting into trouble on every vacation he takes. Unlike his trip to see Pope Francis, at least no one died this time.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/us/politics/secret-service-vance-boating.html Military engineers raised the levels of a river in Ohio so the Secret Service could provide security to Vice President JD Vance during a family boating trip, agency officials said Thursday. Taylor Van Kirk, a spokeswoman for Mr. Vance, said the vice president had not been aware the request had been made to alter the water flow into the Little Miami River on Aug. 2. The Vances took the boat excursion on the vice president’s 41st birthday. “The Secret Service often employs protective measures without the knowledge of the vice president or his staff, as was the case last weekend,” Ms. Van Kirk said. Ohio Democrats and others criticized the trip after The Guardian reported that river levels were raised for it. |
This is a galactically stupid justification. VPOTUS should not be so oblivious. |
Are you really this dense? Why was the secrete service needed there? |
|
One of them included beloved Pope Francis…we know how that turned out. |
|
Technically, the VP has no job aside from being the president of the senate.
Personally, I'd like him to take as many vacations as possible. Do you really want "more Vance"? |
|
I guess he has unlimited vacation days.
|
| How does Usha look at him everyday? His face seems so smug or something. |
“violently stupid”? Oh honey….
Let’s review, because you need some help catching up with the rest of the room, ok? JD Vance is the current Vice President of the United States The Vice President gets a large secret service protection detail. Not as big as the President’s detail, but still very large. When the VP goes anywhere, the detail follows, and uses a variety of vehicles to perform that mission. Sometimes it’s cars/SUV’s. Sometimes it’s other types of vehicles - including motorboats when the activity involves doing something on the water. The motorboats the secret service uses require a couple feet of water to float in and maneuver on, without the propellers striking the bottom. A kayak requires about 4” of water to float. The secret service boats require about 20” of water to float. In order for the secret service boats to follow the VP and his family in kayaks, the depth of the water needs to be at least 20” or more. So the secret service *chose* a river where the *level could be temporarily raised to accommodate their boats* and told the VP “you can go kayaking HERE. On THIS river. Not THAT river over there, or some OTHER river someplace else. THIS river HERE, Mr Vice President…. Because we can control and secure THIS river HERE”. So the secret service temporarily raised the level of the river to allow their boats to navigate so their agents could protect the VP from anyone who’d attempt to harm him. People like….. YOU. Now, are we feel like we’re all caught up with the rest of the group? Good. In the future, remember that we shouldn’t call people names and then still expect them to help us with things we don’t understand, m’k? |
