"Why is Biden traveling to Delaware this weekend?"

[Proud liberal 80]

Who was the idiot who asked this dumb question during the press conference? Then he tried to preface it by saying that the Administration has advise the American public against traveling so why is he....as if Biden is buying a Want to Getaway ticket from Southwest Airlines...

Edit - here is the full exchange

1. "Well, Zeke "

[PCIntern]

2. Because obviously: He was pining for the fjords

[mcar]

12. ...

[CottonBear]

3. What was Jen Psaki's answer?

I would assume he’s going home for a few days.

[Proud liberal 80]

4. She basically said

That Delaware is his home and he is flying on Air Force One

[woodsprite]

7. Plenty of room to land that baby at NCC Airport!

C-5's are the only planes that I'm aware have a bit of an issue unless they're running empty.

11. Somebody needs to tell her that only Republican presidents are allowed to go anywhere.

Democratic presidents are not allowed to leave the White House, even to go home. They must stay there 24/7/365. And, don't even think about charging the Secret Service to use your private facilities while they protect you.

[Retrograde]

13. Remember the poutrage about Obama flying to Hawai'i once a year?

As if it were some exotic foreign location rather than a U.S. state where he was born and raised (and, IIRC, his sister still lives)? One of the usual pundits - I think it was Cokey Roberts - even said it was more American to go someplace like Myrtle Beach.

I'm glad Psaki just left it "he lives there" rather than point out how many times Donnie traveled to one of his properties to play golf: let the media uncover that for themselves.

[Totally Tunsie]

14. From what I've seen thus far, Jen is making a concerted effort

to not mention, in any way, the previous of the White House. I notice she's also refusing to comment on MTG. Definitely taking the high road.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Yeah. Hell, I remember when he and Michelle flew to NYC for a "date night."

It was early in his first term. They went up to see a Broadway play and have dinn. They didn't even use the 747. They flew up in a small, far-less-costly Gulfstream jet. The GQPers completely lost their shit over it. Just like they did any time they brought along the girls and their grandmother. Bunch of fucking hypocrites, but they always have been. Nothing new under the sun.

5. Apparently it's Zeke Miller with the AP

She seem stunned at the question. At first I thought it must be the Faux reporter, but maybe she was stunned that an AP reporter would ask such a dumb question.

[MyMission]

6. Probably to go to his "home" church, and

Certainly Not to play golf.

Or perhaps it's a sting operation, announce he's heading there and see what crawls out of the woodwork.

[mwooldri]

8. I would put this as "essential travel".

The President is traveling between home and work, duh!

[brooklynite]

9. I'm going to cut Zack Miller some slack...

Unless there's a work-related reason to go, a trip on AF1 DOES put people at risk: flight crews, ground personnel, Presidential staff, accompanying press, etc.

[LizBeth]

10. I think she was trying to keep a smile from forming answering a really stupid question.

[Xolodno]

15. To play golf?

Nah...can't be any good courses out there this time of year.
