Media ignoring the utter weirdness of Biden’s Nantucket stay at a billionaire’s estate

Normally, when going to stay at a friend’s house, etiquette requires bringing a gift – say, flowers, some wine, or something to eat. But what about the strange circumstances Joe and Dr. Jill Biden face while staying at the Nantucket estate of multi-billionaire hedge fund founder David Rubenstein? It’s a really, really long (since Tuesday night) weekend stay, so one might wonder if Benjamin Franklin’s famous aphorism, that guests, like fish, start to smell after 3 days, comes into play. But nope, not a chance.

You see, while “visiting” their “friend’s” estate, Joe and Dr. Jill are not going to see the Rubensteins at all. They’ve cleared out. Traveling overseas, doncha know. I very much doubt that they had booked a non-refundable airfare when Joe’s staff called up and asked about “visiting” over Thanksgiving weekend. They no doubt have at least one private jet at their disposal. So, they cleared out of their estate to make room for Mr. and Dr. POTUS. How thoughtful!

The Rubenstein multi-billion dollar fortune derives from David’s role as co-founder of The Carlyle Group, the second largest private equity firm in the world, with assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Tellingly, Carlyle is headquartered in Washington, DC, not Wall Street, and Rubenstein himself was a White House official in the Carter administration before becoming a hedge fund guy. It sure looks like knowledge of and connections with the federal government play a role in guiding the superior insight necessary to capably invest such serious sums of money.

This is because the media is NOT the free media.

For the most part they are nothing but controlled propaganda agents.

The perfect place to have some work done on radio-controlled implants, battery replacements, ear pieces, etc.

“For the most part they are nothing but controlled propaganda agents.”

And for that reason, I hate them in ways I can’t adequately express.

The lunatic fringe that still watches and believes the MSM is shrinking everyday. I’d like to see a new poll on that topic.

It doesn’t take 3 days for Joey to smell the Pope nods.
The poor Rubenstein maid has to put up with it and clean up all the drooling spots.

Actually that’s not terribly weird. Rich folks with multiple houses do that kind of stuff all the time. Heck even not so rich folks with multiple houses. I know of 2 “open invitation” houses I could stay at and the owners wouldn’t be there.

Carlyle is the ultimate Deep State corporation.

Bidet is _owned_.

Guys, it’s an island.

Great place to go if you need to limit the possibility of a leak about BiteMe’s decline.

Corruption is only corruption when it's at the hands of a true conservative.

Corruption among liberals is a fact of life.

Like, how people in ChiCongo "wink" at a corrupt police force. It's always been that way and they have come to expect it.

But, let Melania Trump wear high heels to a place that recently had a natural disaster, and the puke liberals go nuts.
