Biden sets record for weekends away from White House just 4 months in
Daily Mail via MSN ^ | 5/31/21

Less than six months into a tenure bogged down by the coronavirus pandemic, soaring gun violence and a crisis at the southern border, President Joe Biden has already spent more weekends away from the White House than any of his modern predecessors at the same point in their term.

Speaking with CNN under the condition of anonymity, a source familiar with the president's thinking said Biden sees the White House 'more like a Monday-through-Friday kind of place.'

The building that was once home to nearly all of Biden's predecessors, including his former boss President Barack Obama, is now more like 'really, really high-end corporate housing' for its current occupant.

Out of the 19 weekends he has been president, Biden has only spent five at the White House.

Members of his staff have told CNN that Biden would even leave the residence on short notice when his schedule would say otherwise - for a weekly breather - despite the nearly 55,000 square foot of space containing amenities including a bowling alley, a movie theater and a tennis pavilion.

'Even if it's Tuesday and the schedule says he will be at the White House for that weekend - or it doesn't say he's going anywhere - in the back of my mind, I know he's going to not be at the White House,' a member of Biden's entourage told CNN.

Even during his decades-long career as a senator, Biden was known for fleeing Washington, DC in favor of spending most nights and weekends home in Delaware.

“soaring gun violence”

Even in a piece that’s critical of Biden, their narrative gets some play.

No surprise. It’s just sad to see and God help us if something really big happens.

He sure could do us all a favor, by leaving the WH and going back to hell, where he and his socialists, leftists, commies, anarchists, demonKKKrats etc came from, for an ‘extended’ vacation. There’s a rotisserie there with his name on it.

That would be the Commander of NORAD, and the Sit Room military at the WH— cause none of the civilians are there, not even Round Heels Harris lives at the Naval Observatory (the VP residence). She commutes to CT. And should note neither aircraft they fly on are designated AF1 or AF2 (she charters non AF, it is said. Confirm needed. She is to be watched like a hawk).

The Amtrak “non present_presentdent”— costs a LOT to fly the same route for no other purpose than to be “tuned up” chemically. The idiot is a human cipher.
