I'm going to need a source that Biden has been on 2 vacations in 10 days.

Republican shills just can't help themselves mentioning and sharing mentions of democratic presidents taking vacations when the numbers actually just make them look even worse in comparison.

Got it, thanks!

 

Anyway, I still believe we can pick things in our life and I hope that others accept that. 

 

And it is odd that you just quote SOME of my post.  But, I that is okay.

 

 

 

The fact that it's often hard to tell if your posts are trolling or sincere is worth some introspection. 

 

Or not. Chances are you're fine with it.

It's pretty funny when their cult leader took so many vacations over 4 years AND ACTUALLY PROFITED FROM THEM PERSONALLY!!!!

 

President's take vacations.  It's a very stressful job.  They need time off just like everyone else.  AND....even when they are on vacation, they aren't really on vacation.

Do you think they have request time off from HR?

 

Do you think Joe gets an email from HR "PTO" in the subject line

 

- "Hey joe, just wanted to let you know you have 4 days of PTO left for the year, have a good one!"

There seems to be a lot of concern over Joe Biden's tone of voice and delayed physical appearance in Hawaii, but the federal government's immediate response -- the part that really counts -- is the better measure. Archy's source - unsurprisingly -- pulls out the all caps to declare something REAL Fishy! went on without a whiff of what that might actually be.

 

Here’s what we know the federal government has deployed to Hawaii in response to the wildfires so far:

• FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell traveled to Maui on Friday. She said on Thursday that FEMA was providing meals for 5,000 people for five days.
• FEMA Region 9 Administrator Bob Fenton, who has been working from Oahu, mobilized an incident response team earlier this week to help with the federal response, a White House spokesperson told CNN.
• Fenton said on Thursday that cadaver dogs from California and Washington were being brought to Maui to help in recovery efforts in affected areas in Lahaina.
• The FEMA Urban Search and Rescue team is in Lahaina and is equipped to search the interior of burned structures. As of Friday morning Eastern time, the 55 people who had been found dead were all found outside of buildings in Maui because search and rescue teams were not equipped to go into buildings.
• Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra declared a public health emergency for Hawaii on Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, which gives health care providers “more flexibility” to aid people on Medicare and Medicaid, the agency said in a release.
• HHS’s Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response also deployed an initial team to aid emergency response efforts, the release said.
• The Hawaiian National Guard mobilized Chinook helicopters to help with fire suppression and search and rescue on Maui, according to a statement from President Joe Biden.
• Biden said the Coast Guard and Navy Third Fleet were also supporting response and rescue efforts.
• The Army provided Black Hawk Helicopters to fight fires on the island of Hawaii, according to Biden.
• Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Thursday that more than 100 National Guard personnel had been activated to respond to the fires. “As of this morning, the National Guard has activated 134 National Guard personnel, 99 from the Army National Guard and 35 from the Air National Guard, to assist with the Hawaii wildfire response,” Ryder said. “This includes liaison support to the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, support to local law enforcement, and two Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook helicopters to support wildfire response operations and search and recovery teams.”
• Ryder added that three other helicopters from the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade had also been deployed to assist, in addition to two MH-60R Seahawk helicopters from the Navy Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37.
• The Coast Guard has also rescued 14 people who had gone into the ocean to take shelter from the fire and smoke on Maui, Ryder said.
• The Department of Transportation worked with commercial airlines to evacuate tourists from Maui, Biden said.
• Biden’s statement also said the Department of Interior and Agriculture Department were on standby to provide assistance after the fire recovery efforts are completed.
• Biden’s federal disaster declaration Thursday made federal funding available. That funding includes grants for things like temporary housing and home repairs, low-interest loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs for individuals and businesses, according to a FEMA news release.
• That news release also stated that the declaration would open up federal funding to the state and eligible local governments, as well as some nonprofit organizations, for debris removal and emergency protective measures in Maui County, on a cost-sharing basis.
• The declaration also makes federal funding available for hazard mitigation measures across the state, also on a cost-sharing basis, according to the news release.

Well, ummmm, the source was used to answer a request about vacations from another poster.

Just, ummmmm, noting the s#!tty source being used. 

[teachercd]

Honestly unless the President is going there to literally grab a hose and fight the fire, the rest of it is all just theatrics. 

 

Joe being there or not really doesn't matter unless you are just looking for something to complain about.  

 

It isn't like Joe is going to be like the president in Independence day and go fly into battle.

Timing is key as well. Biden authorized federal aid within hours of Hawaii asking for it. 

 

Also, I don't understand why we are trying to compare Joe waiting a week and a half to go to a place that burned to the ground vs Bush (which I don't have a problem with flying over a couple days post landfall), or POS Ted who just bailed in the middle of complete chaos. Not the same situations at all.

I absolutely agree 100%.  And the point of the Greenwald post was specifically to show hypocrisy of those who b!^@hed and moaned at Bush and Cruz going on vacation or doing a “flyover” but not saying a peep about Joe doing the same thing.   That’s all.  Nothing more.
