We’d been assured that we’d be seeing a lot of chaos at the border as Title 42 expired this week and migrants surged into the country. We’ve learned that a least one migrant child (that we know about) has died in U.S. custody. Migrants are given phones and court dates as far off as 2028.
That’s someone else’s problem. President Joe Biden would have been well on his way to his beach house Friday morning except he’d agreed to give the commencement address at Howard University and warn the graduates about the top terror threat in the country, white supremacy.
That speech delayed his trip home for the weekend, but he finally boarded his plane around 4:30.
As Border Patrol agents work overtime, Biden retreats to his Delaware beach home for a weekend getaway.

Nice work if you can steal it.

That is the reason the job never gets done.

They should start bussing them to his beach house. All of them.

On a positive note…he didn't trip going up the stairs! 🤣

Not so much holidaying as convalescing, and his handlers wanting him kept out of the public eye as much as possible, for obvious reasons.

Time to send some migrants to Rehobeth.

This is seriously outrageous. Especially since he only works part time.

Oh, flying there by way of a massive jet too. Couldnt he just drive somewhere more local?

I hope that’s some homework Joe’s carrying under his arm.

Not a “getaway “ or vacation, he’s going in for some regimental treatment. Look up the dates he’s absent.
— Frank Nix (@LeadfootLemmy) May 13, 2023
Look! They gave him some coloring books to keep him busy during the flight

It’s easy to go on “vacation” when you’re not really doing the job.

The getaway president. Getting away. Getting away with it.

Why does Biden have to fly somewhere just to sleep. He does that everywhere
— Peter Shields (@GPCommercialRE) May 13, 2023
That percentage is better than his approval rating

When you’re inessential, it’s no big deal.

A lot of salty people in the comments say going home for the weekend is not a “vacation” and everyone does it. But the White House has a full floor dedicated to the president’s residence.
He stayed up late for the WHCA’s “nerd prom” and now this extra day of work. He has to be beat.
