Vice President JD Vance sought last week to use a military helicopter to ferry himself and his son across Washington for a golf lesson, one of a number of allegedly unusual travel requests that has left the Republican’s security detail “fed up,” MS Now reports.

The alleged travel plans aboard Marine Two were ultimately canceled due to weather, but Secret Service agents nonetheless discussed it among themselves unhappily, according to the outlet.

Past vice presidents have had Secret Service agents drive their children to activities, rather than use military hardware, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour to operate.

A series of last-minute travel requests, known as “off the record” movements, has reportedly led to anger and low morale within the detail. “The detail is tired of them not giving notice on things and making everything an OTR [off the record],” a source familiar with the mood inside the service told MS Now. “He [Vance] thinks he can still move around like a U.S. Senator.”

4. I wish I could say this is surprising

but, it....isn't.

JD thinks he's the crown prince, just wating for the "king" to die.

5. $25,000 an hour to fly Marine 2

6. This is all the very tip top of a gargantuan iceberg. The TrumpenFuhrer administration will never have a close

rival for the graft and corruption and outright theft of funds.

7. Reminder that Joe Biden as VP used to take the Amtrak back to Delaware

and the conservatives blasted him for being on vacation!

Meanwhile, salt-of-the-earth JD Vance is demanding that his son be taken to his golf lessons on Marine 2.

I know that most people will see "Marine 2" as the most important part of that sentence, but we should also dwell a bit over FUCKING GOLF LESSONS.

The sooner the better. Damn. Such a sense of entitlement at our expense.

12. It's not surprising coming from the guy that basically said watergate was small potatoes

And in comparison to this administration, watergate pales in comparison. There’s basically an equivalent set of crimes committed daily. Corruption is a feature with this administration, not a bug.
