This from the article ,,,,

[b] 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.”
[/b]

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

His wife is not an immigrant.  She was born in the U.S.  But, you knew that.[/quote]

Usha had a scholarship from Bill Gates to do her master’s degree at Cambridge.  She’d much rather be vacationing in the UK than in MAGA-land.

What shocks me is how much vacation-time they’re spending out of the country-Germany. Greenland, India, England/the UK, plus vacations to San Diego and Vermont-he’s barely been VP for a half a year.

But I guess if it’s at taxpayer expense they’ll milk it for all it’s worth.[/quote]

Like Obama?

You might try reading the article you posted, which is about the 8 years of Obama travel. JD Vance has taken far more taxpayer funded vacations in his first six months in office than Obama did. But then again, Obama was actually working.[/quote]

As is Vance.  He tacked on family vacations to the ends of his business trips.  It's clear you have a very dull life if this is the kind of thing you're fixating on.  Presidents - and Vice Presidents - take their families with them on work trips/vacations all the time.  But of course, your partisan blinders prevent you from admitting these facts.[/quote]

JD Vance isn't tacking this trip onto anything work related.  The British certainly aren't happy about having him in the Cotswolds, major protests are planned.

He took his family to Germany tacking a trip on to a speech where he praised neo Nazis.

He/Usha tried to take his kid to do dogsledding in Greenland, then had to pretend to tack something US military related onto his trip, when protests hit that too due to Trump's threatening to have the US takeover Greeland.

Nobody wants him, but we pay for JD/Usha to go everywhere.

:lol:  Bless your heart!  You poor, put-upon Democrat.  It’s almost as if no presidents or VPs have ever vacationed with their families.  [/quote]

You’re being ridiculous.

Reagan vacationed in California. 
Bush Sr in Maine. 
Clinton various spots in the U.S.
W in Texas. 
Obama in Hawaii. 
Trump 1 in Florida. 
Biden in Delaware.

You able to see a pattern and spot the difference?  
[/quote]

Wait... you're actually claiming none of these presidents vacationed anywhere other than in the U.S.?  [/quote]

Don’t think so. But please provide an example. [/quote]

Seriously?  A post already linked to all the overseas trips Obama took with his family in tow.  Just stop.  You’re looking more and more foolish with every claim that Vance is somehow unique.   :roll: [/quote]

No. You look foolish because you refuse or are comprehensively unable to understand that Obama vacationed in the United States. (Pull up your Martha’s Vineyard and Hawaii talking points for reference).

Obama’s overseas trips were official USG travel.  Vance, OTOH, is vacationing in the Cotswolds. Vance should be spending his money in Hillbilly country and bringing attention to the beauty of Appalachia and encouraging Americans to hike the Appalachian Trail.

And no one has abused the office of President as much as the Trump Vance administration. They are the grifters par excellence. No one else can come close to Trump Vance for theft from the American taxpayer. [/quote]

Goodness.  You really are doubling down on the Obamas *never* vacationing in places other than the U.S.  Sure, we all know about their many opulent Martha's Vineyard and Hawaii vacays.  We also are aware they vacationed in Lake Como, London, Paris, Ghana, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Venice, and more.  Yes, many of those were tagging along with official trips, but they certainly vacationed as a family afterwards.

You just look utterly unserious, begrudging ANY president/VP their vacations - especially if you had no problem with Obama et al and all of their vacations.  [/quote]
