He may be out of office, but he’s still driving people crazy.
Former President Joe Biden has been overheard asking for frozen treats while commuting on Amtrak to his government-provided DC office — where little known work is being done — as well as allegedly forgetting a top rule of the train.
“He was talking in the quiet car!” a disbelieving Amtrak regular vented to The Post.
The 82-year-old former chief executive, who rode the route back and forth to Delaware during his 36 years in the Senate, also has gotten rusty on the cafe car’s offerings.
Biden recently asked for ice cream — his favorite snack — but had to settle for a muffin.
Amtrak’s “quiet car” is the second on the Acela — behind first class — and its code of conduct is enforced by conductors and passengers who brusquely hiss “shhhhhh!” at violators.
A second witness who has seen Biden chatting in the quiet car argued it wasn’t his fault.
“If he’s talking, it’s because he’s constantly approached,” said this person, noting that whispered exchanges are allowed.
“[That] is always a criticism of him — that he’s too soft spoken! No winning.”
The ex-president’s travels have been captured in a stream of photos from fellow riders — and even a brief May 8 interview...
**SNIP**
Several alums of the Biden White House say there’s intrigue into what exactly he is doing most weeks at his temporary office a short distance from DC’s Union Station.
The General Services Administration pays for the office until July, meaning Biden will have to relocate soon if he intends to continue commuting to the capital.
“It’s really a mystery,” one former Biden aide said of his activities while visiting DC, noting that staff still working for Biden “avoid answering.”

Don't you know who he is????
I don't care how old and tired this POS is, he belongs in prison.
He could have taken a bullhorn in there and no Amtrak employee would have said "boo" to him. Some animals are more equal than others, and "Amtrak Joe" was not to be crossed.
“””Don’t you know who he is???? “””
HE doesn’t know who he is.
Bullet Train was ok. They tried to cram in too many characters.
I wish my finances were that difficult. They never were.
Lemme guess... Shock treatments?
It was utterly moronic, but some of the performances were a real treat.
Fine! For gawd sake just keep him away from driving that damn Corvette!
Yes.
It makes no sense that he is riding a commuter train.
None.
Keeping up "appearances".
Most politicians are narcissistic so "appearances" after the limelight is a big deal.
I swear I thought this was the Bee
Given how his party treated him, he should be on Greyhound…err under it.
So did I for a couple of seconds. Haha.
Doing the same as he did for 50 years in that corrupt city… collect bribes.
“They have millions from graft squirreled away, but are afraid to tap the money.”
Or they really are stupid enough to have blown all that money thinking that the gravy train would never end.

I grew up in the 50’s in Rochester, NY. My Dad worked for NY Central Railroad as a Track Foreman, so he had a family pass for us all to ride the train for free. It was a real treat for us kids, because we didn’t have a car. Back then they had dining cars on all the trains, and they also had porters come around with sandwiches and drinks during the ride. My mother used to pack sandwiches for everyone, and brought along an insulated bottle that she’d put Kool-aid in. For a small kid, it was the cat’s meow. My father retired not long after the company became Penn Central. The Acela Train doesn’t come anywhere near where I live. About four years ago, I thought about taking the train from Rome, NY where I live to visit my youngest son in Indianapolis, Indiana. I called Amtrak to see if it was a possibility, but they said I’d have to go to NY City or Washington first, in order to get a train that headed out that way.
Very true!!
He still likes to lick ice cream at 82? What a creepy dude.
