"President Biden is expected to travel to Delaware this weekend, in what will be his first out-of-town trip since taking office, despite warnings from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention to avoid travel.
The CDC’s guidance this week said that "travel increases your chance of spreading and getting COVID-19," and recommended "that you do not travel at this time."" foxnews

I suppose Psaki meant that although Air Force One (usually a Boeing-747) is public property, it (or some other aircraft) is exclusively for the USE of the president.
It is 111 miles (179 kilometers) from DC to Wilmington, Delaware.
They took that plane up there for the weekend so that Joe could return to the shelter of the bunker/basement?
I understand that the stress involved in trying to satisfy all those special interest groups while pumped up on Ritalin and Adderall must be appalling but, c'mon man, take a smaller plane. C'mon man!
I include below a link to a piece enumerating Joe's EOs to date. One of my faves is the one in which he tell the Central American governments that the US no longer wants their help in restraining waves of migrants seeking to escape their "countries." In return for whatever it is that he and his band of illegal immigration enthusiasts think will result he has also stated that we will increase the amount of money we give them every year for "development."
The pressure on the southern border is now steadily building up. Detention facilities built during the Golden Age of Obama are being re-opened. The decline in illegal border crossings in the era of the Orange Devil has been reversed. People from all over the world now understand that Joe has opened the border for them. A favorite tactic for Line Crossers is to cross with a child, give the child a note to relatives now in the states in the knowledge that HHS will turn the child over to the "relative." This establishes an Anchor Point useful as leverage against US immigration laws.
The re-opened detention facilities should IMO be called Bidonian Tiger Cages. pl
"People from all over the world now understand that Joe has opened the border for them."
So they are coming for the bigotry, hatred and systemic racism? What are they going to do for a living, since the unemployment rates is increasing and millions of businesses are still "non-essential" and not allowed to operate? I guess they will serve as poverty centers which will justify government employment of SJWs. Like we see in the deep blue cities of the North. Congratulations for full SJW employement will soon be in order.

Teachers unions need the influx of "families" to fill their failing K-12 classrooms. US birthrates are insufficient to provide adequate teacher union dues.
So the big Democrat push is for more illegals with "children". Time to revisit the 1982 SCOTUS ruling mandating free K-12 for all illegal minors. A huge teacher union cash cow.
As well as the reason California - open border and sanctuary cities state --- now ranks #45 nationwide in student outcomes.
Therefore you will hear nothing but sympathetic Democrat (aka teacher union) stories about "family" migration from high birth rate countries, including "Muslim" countries - 6-7 children per family birth rates. Mexico - 5-6 children per family. A future anchor baby Democrat voter bonanza.
Do the math and follow the free money. Do not be hoodwinked yet again by any claims of Democrat "humanitarian" principles - it is all about guaranteeing the future of K-12 teacher union dues funding Democrat causes.
Where is the investigative journalism story tracking the increase in K-12 funding for illegals and growth of the teacher unions since the 1982 SCOTUS ruling?

What is the carbon footprint flying Air Force One one hundred miles to cover the exact same route Biden bragged he covered by train, back when he was a mere member of Congress?
Lead by example, Biden. Your selfish pattern of personal carbon abuse must be broken, if you are to win the hearts and minds of the American people. Get a e-bicycle if you really want to be green and trending in order to traverse your 100 mile journey.
Everyone must sacrifice for these higher green principles. Unity, remember?
Or perhaps we must wait until Biden gets his basement kitted out as a fully operational WH Situation Room with full security access to the red button, before Biden can leave the tether of AF One?

Apparently the El Salvador and Honduras agreements had never actually been activated...because of Covid, I think. So...not much was changed on the ground.

Wouldn't "Marine One" be the way to go Joe?
Well, we here in Florida usually eat pretty well in the retirement areas as there is money around. Now, we have NYC's "Top Chefs" arriving every day (they are flabbergasted how open things are here) so we'll be eating even better as the days go by. Homes are selling like hot cakes with strangers making offers on homes not even listed. Vacant 1/4 acre lots were 5K, now 25K. There isn't much housing inventory left so construction is picking up (good luck trying to find a guy to repair something for less than $100 an hour). DeSantis or Cuomo?

Oh I can't help myself: Does President Biden's bunker/basement in Delaware have an email server yet?

They can make all the excuses they want in an effort to seem more humane (not to be associated with the Humane Society) toward their fellow man.
We all know that they have already learned how to control the voting process and are just working to ensure that they will double the number of their party's voters (registered or not--they do not care about formalities). They will then have a permanent control over our elections.
We can then just wait until the Democrats prove themselves so inept at running a free market society, and those immigrants will then realize that living south of our border wasn't so bad after all.

"The re-opened detention facilities should IMO be called Bidonian Tiger Cages."
Babylon Bee has also recognized the need for new words for a new administration. They offer a handy new glossary for journalists covering Biden admin. "Kids in cages" is one term for which they have no update word. They simply suggest "(silence)".
Improved terms for other occasions, "evil" should become "nuanced"; instead of "overreach", use "bold leadership"; for "baseless claim", now "strong assertion", and so on.

And the White House is a private single family residence?

The above story about killing the 2nd Amendment dovetails into this story.
Disarm us and open the borders to the third world.
The Democrat-media dream of changing the electorate and denying any response from the 75 million racist, sexist Trump voters - especially the white males.
The uninformed, badly educated and immature citizenry might figure it out when they begin to starve.

neo-liberalism has wanted to open all the borders, no matter what country... knock down national laws so that large corporations can have what they want and get more people into other countries to consume - more sales and consumption to feed capitalisms insatiable appetite.. kill the nation state and give corporations free reign... that is what it looks like to me.. oh yeah - keep labour costs low forever.... more people chasing fewer jobs is how this works... plenty of openings for minimum wage jobs though... i doubt the university grads want to take them given the huge student loans they have to pay off... financial corporations win either way...

They can never get over the fact that they took over based on a successful fraud. All future regimes are tainted by this fact. Any actions of the new regime are illegitimate.

Democrats are going to propose a $3000 per child payment.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2021/02/07/report-democrats-to-propose-sending-3000-per-child-to-millions-of-american-families/?sh=775062fb6c15
This instead of increasing opportunities for gainful employment for their parents, with all of the good things that flow therefrom. Nope, just a direct payment from the "Feral" government. More digitally generated funny money with no actual benefit to the US, but certainly crafted with anticipated benefits to Sugar Daddy Democrats.
More votes for them, more clientele for the public indoctrination system (a/k/a public tax supported schools) where the benefits of mendicancy of "citizens" through exercising gimmedats is taught. And I'll just bet that this will be handed out to teenage baby mommas, too. Social decay on steroids, further reinforcing this cancer; not only money for SNAP, and other programs, but cash money every year. Such a deal.
Is there any stupifyingly dumb and corrupting thing that the left won't get behind, or even bring into being?

So many officials who tell others to stay home travel.
Biden's got no aged or newly born relatives he has to see.
He should have stayed in Washington. What is his excuse for travelling? The private plan excuse is not a good one.

Could he make that distance using Marine One?
Posted by: Yeah, Right | 07 February 2021 at 10:03 PM
Yeah, right
Certainly, or any of a variety of smaller fixed wing aircraft in the hands of that VIP transport unit at Andrews.
