Usually only done in emergency situations you can’t make this **** up, the irony is they are public sector employees just like all of the ones people criticize for wasting tax money.

JD Vance professional vacationer
Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
It was made up.
Seek the truth not media hate and lies
USACE confirmed that the adjustment was within standard operational protocols, did not adversely affect surrounding areas, and that downstream stakeholders had been notified in advance.
The U.S. Secret Service requested the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to increase outflows from Caesar Creek Lake into the Little Miami River to ensure safe navigation for motorized security and emergency personnel
Vance’s office stated that he and his staff were unaware of the water-level change, noting it was carried out as a standard protective measure by the Secret Service for security reasons
Of course you won’t buy that. You think JD called up the dam operators and said hey” let more water out for me”. And they said sure, got a six pack of beer?

Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
Yeh I should have checked Snopes before posting about the water level accusation.
What are your thoughts on in his first six months in office Vance and his family taking 6 or 7 luxury vacations, all on the taxpayers dime, while 15 million will lose their healthcare?
rump is building a gold lined, brothel looking ballroom at the White House to the tune of $200 million taxpayer dollars. Yes Virginia, he’s a sh!/ stain on the underwear of life.
Waste, fraud and abuse at its finest. You must admit it’s pretty hard to defend.

Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
I thinks it’s some bologna. I understand some vacation. Isn’t it the same ole story no matter who?
Not making excuses however seems to me they all get criticized for excessive flagrant spending. No?
I think we should be getting a check from all the extra money the feds supposedly have coming in from tariffs and DOGE
Trump should pay off the social security debt and issue one time checks to the tax payers.
Or at least give us a real big income tax break that is not some phony gimmick where we end up paying it back another way

Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
I don’t remember presidents and/or vice presidents vacationing so much in the past. I would love to get a check, but I’m skeptical. We are paying the tariffs one would think there’s a glut of money somewhere? By sending so many troops needlessly to places like LA and DC that can’t be cheap. Neither can $50k signing bonuses for ICE agents.
Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
There are no tariffs on American made goods
The troops are needed here.
Our country was INVADED.
What do you not understand about that?

Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
Wow! Rump is lying to you. Crime is the lowest it’s been in 30 years in DC. Do you buy all American made goods? Is that humanly possible? 
Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
We have heard it all before. Is it justified?
No. I don’t think so. They all over spend far as I’m concerned. Who spends more? Beats me. I have not looked into it yet. Obviously with cost
of everything rising the most recent would spend more numerically faster.
They should all have the same budget for vacations
In my opinion
Joe Biden
Ethics Concerns Around Donor-Hosted Vacations
In December 2024, media outlets reported Biden staying at a St. Croix villa owned by long-time supporters, raising questions about ethical reporting and disclosures of gifts
Vacation Patterns & Location Criticism
Though Biden has spent significant time away from the White House—sometimes cited as over 25% of his presidency by October 2022—critics note that many of these trips were to donor-owned properties 
Barack Obama & Earlier Presidents
Obama
He was scrutinized for vacations at Martha’s Vineyard, especially during economic downturns (2007–2012), though media coverage often neglected that these trips were largely at government-owned sites
Historical Precedents
The pattern of presidential vacations stirring criticism goes back centuries—from Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt (yacht trips) to George W. Bush (ranch getaways during wartime)—and has been a recurring flashpoint in presidential media coverage
Public Reaction

Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
Crime is up for sure.
Thanks democrat run cites. SF. Chicago , St. Louis
Baltimore, Detroit, Richmond
I purchase all American made rods. Edge rods
All my shoes. All my jeans, boat
knives, trucks ,guns ,and whatever else I can
I have restored several vehicles using American made parts. If not new an old OEM part was sourced from junk yards and refurbished.
All tools American
No I can’t buy everything made in America but I go out of my way to do so
Maybe tariffs will force some people to look at American Made goods if the cost becomes competitive?
I assure you if it says china on it I either through it away return it or feel guilty
Some things can’t be avoided thanks to years of people shopping the cheapest possible junk
Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
Do you have a MAGA cap? That’s made in China
Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
Tell you the truth no I do not have anything that says MAGA on it
I

Re: JD Vance professional vacationer
A quick search found this PBS news
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump says he won't stand for it if it turns out some of his hats labeled "Made in USA" actually weren't made entirely in the USA.
The baseball-style "Make America Great Again" hats are indeed stitched together at a small factory in the Los Angeles area. But in a small sample tested by The Associated Press and an outside expert, at least one did not contain the specific type of U.S.-made fabric the manufacturer insists is always used for the hats.
The true origin of the fabric in that hat remains a mystery — whether U.S. or foreign made. It shows how difficult and murky it can be to verify something is actually "Made in USA."
Informed of AP's findings, Trump said any misrepresentation would be unacceptable. He said: "I pay a good price for that hat. If it's not made in the USA, we'll bring a lawsuit."

I can no longer continue this conversation with someone whose thinking and memory are clearly deteriorating. The arguments are incoherent, the reasoning is failing, and it’s painfully obvious that meaningful dialogue is impossible. Please seek mental health attention.
