KINGSHILL, U.S. Virgin Islands (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday traveled to a place very familiar to him — the U.S. Virgin Islands — to enjoy some downtime and warmer weather and to ring in a new year with family.

The president and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, flew from Washington on Tuesday to St. Croix, one of three islands that make up the U.S. territory in the Caribbean. St. John and St. Thomas are the other two islands. The Bidens were joined by their daughter Ashley and her husband, Howard Krein, as well as grandchildren Natalie and Hunter, whose father was the president’s late son, Beau.

St. Croix is a tropical getaway that Biden has been getting away to at least since he was vice president, from 2009 to 2017.

“We’ve missed him the last couple of years,” Beth Moss Mahar, a retired attorney and island resident for nearly three decades, said in a telephone interview.

1. May it be peaceful and joyous!

[Ray Bruns]

2. Cue the Fox channel freak out in 3, 2, 1!

[Rebl2]

7. They

Always freaked out when Obama went to Hawaii to vacation and visit his sister I believe it was.

[Aristus]

9. Yeah, the supporters of the guy who played golf every weekend

after not working all week are going to shit themselves because a hard-working, capable, responsible President is going to take a little break.

They never go off-script, do they?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Lord knows he has earned this brief vacation.

The man has had 2 very busy years.

[doc03]

4. Oh my Fox is going to go full out nuts about that, dare he take a vacation. I turned Fox on for a

couple minutes a while back, they were criticizing him for buying an ice cream cone, he should have been in Texas guarding the border.

6. That's Perfect

Got a great laugh out of that. Fox and most of the Republican Party, when it comes to politics, fall solidly into the mean spirited no good fuck category. Seems to be, they work tirelessly to be just like that despicable character they all adore. They all deserve each other.

5. Best President of my lifetime. I hope he, his family, friends, and guests have a great time.

I know Joe and Jill like to do simple stuff like walk on the beach and the beaches in the Virgin Islands
might be a little nicer than the beaches in Delaware right now.


BTW he helped to save this too. The Everglades.

8. And unlike the PREVIOUS president, he wont make any money off the trip

[riversedge]

10. And will instead contribute to the LOCAL economy..

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump, 69, tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”

12. Has to be the BIGGEST lie he ever told.

[electric_blue68]

13. Catch up on relaxing! You've earned it.

[IronLionZion]

14. Fox will say it's not the US

just like Hawaii was an overseas territory of Kenya
