[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He did this in Paris ahead of his meetings in Germany at the Munich security conference. Took over an entire floor of a 5 star hotel in Paris. Had them create a private custom play room for his kids. USG paid for his family’s luxury vacation.

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

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.

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. [/quote]

:lol:  Are you talking about Vance's trip to Paris for [b]the AI summit in Feb - IN PARIS[/b]?  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!

Ah yes, JD Vance *checks notes* the AI expert?[/quote]
