Well, if this doesn’t take the cake. I mean the whole platter of angel food. No, make it the whole darn bakery. As if this administration and the Democrats have not shown enough insufferable hubris, incredible hypocrisy, unparalleled arrogance, and a monumental entitlement mentality, this would certainly qualify.

Multiple news outlets are reporting that after the House passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus pork sandwich last Friday, said bill is being flown, yes FLOWN, to St. Croix for Biden’s signature. Biden is reportedly ringing in the new year at the home of a wealthy donor there. He must sign the bill by Dec. 30. And since he is sunning his bum in the Virgin Islands, the White House is flying it down to him on the taxpayer’s nickel. And I’m pretty sure they didn’t put it in a FedEx overnight envelope or drop it off at the UPS store. Does this sound like a headline from The Onion or The Babylon Bee? Most Biden news stories do, but this time, it is an unfortunate, stomach-turning fact. Feast your eyes, sir or madam, on this tweet from Fox News White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence:

A White House Official tells me the Omnibus Bill is in possession of the White House. It has to be signed by Dec 30th. The Official says at some point it will be transported to St Croix for POTUS to sign to make the Dec 30th deadline. #POTUS

Mind-blowing. If you are disgusted, you aren’t the only one. Dan Crenshaw tweeted this:

The omnibus — filled with wacko climate change initiatives — is being flown more than 1,000 miles to be signed because the President couldn’t be bothered to stick around and do his job. https://t.co/sNWs5aYveE

Biden on the St.Croix beach while we work overtime in our cubicles and fill out TPS reports to pay for higher taxes and inflation.....

This is adding insult to injury.

I hate these people. But they hated me first.

So…

They need a C130 to get the whole thing down there . . .

Wow The Dems are doing their best to keep Joe’s corpse alive. Down in the sunny St Croix islands to keep senile Joe away from the TV cameras.

Sidewinder? Anybody got an extra sidewinder? Even a stinger?

Too bad if something were to happen to that plane…

A whole AF1 full of tapioca.

It depends on whether Congress is in session or not.
If yes, it’s a law. If not, it’s a pocket veto.

---

If he neither signs nor vetos within 10 days, it becomes law—unless Congress is out of session during those 10 days. Because Congress will be out of session within the 10 days, it has to be signed to become law.

I’m sure he wants the photo op to show him signing it and showing us all how hard he works even when he’s on vacation.

Vacation? What's that?

Sign one sheet of paper. Hope Brandon doesn't strain anything...

What is a pocket veto?

I suggest putting that into the nearest search engine and perusing the results.

[upchuck]

How many folks are on the plane? What do y’all think? Less than 5? More than 5?

[semimojo]

A Presidential signature is not required for a bill to become law.

Leaving aside the fact that Congress has adjourned, which means inaction would result in a pocket veto, I think the current CR expires at the end of the year so the government would shut down until the 10 day waiting period expired.

Hopefully they booked it on a southwest airlines flight.

A plane full of supplies could keep Biδen comfortable and out of the way while he’s deposed. If Kαmαlα is unavailable for some reason, Nαnzi will take the reigns - first woman president - until Congress names someone to take the office.

“FLOWN to St. Croix”!

BUT, BUt, But, but——CARBON!!!!

[philman_36]

Such BS posturing!

White House aides use autopen to sign highway bill while Obama is overseas

White House aides have used a mechanical device known as the "autopen" to sign a two-week extension of highway funding while President Obama is in Malaysia, marking at least the seventh time Obama has used the controversial device to sign a bill into law.

It's all a game to this *administration.

[philman_36]

Same thought. See above.

[jimmango]

What’s next? Just set everything up for docusign?

Biden couldn’t wait the few hours or he would have been late for his vacation.

The good thing for Biden is the bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the MSM won’t give a damn... If Trump had don’t this the same bunch would be screaming blood murder.
