JD Vance blames Secret Service over raising of Ohio river level to accommodate VP’s birthday kayaking trip

Sorry but you sad attempts at deflection are simply rather pathetic.
And that you don’t think it’s blatantly obvious is just sad.

Ok. Have a nice day.

Another Yuramaga Yuramaga post. Guess that's the extent of your argumentation, because you haven't supported a single one of your complaints.

Only a poorly educated Maga thinks that lake and river levels are manipulated without any cost.
Yet another mindless Vance defense post.

Justifying wasting tax payer money.
Good MAGA!

This Maga is equally infatuated with Vance.

So what was the cost? Do you even know what actions were entailed in lowering the lake to its normal summer pool?

While only temporary, it could have impacted other recreational users depending on their respected activity.

I know... Other canoers wouldn't have had to drag their ride over rocky shallows. Wish I knew ahead of time, and scheduled an excursion.
And anyone that is bank fishing won't even notice a difference in the deeper, slow rolling area they are fishing, unless they are staking their pole and beer right there on the waterlne.
(I used to frequent a nice little catfish hole along the way)

Its bigger than a b-day trip. My main issue is that Maga dipshits will justify any abuse of power that Trump and Vance do and then show their own ignorance by trying to justify it.

It is bigger than a b-day trip. It's elected officials who have always took personal time on tax payer dime.
It all depends which side you're on.

Where do we draw the line between 'personal expenditures' and security protection?
Frankly, the amount spent on certain things seems extremely excessive. Pad that bill Gov.

If I still worked for an employer, why are you not paying for my vacation on top of time off?
Maybe a new tax form?

'Are you a presently in a top government position requiring SS protection? If yes, move to line 5.'

Again, so many more important issues, while people sit here, .

No one will even remember JD's trip in a few days.
Until some place floods, and someone posts a meme of him in a kayak. And that would be poor taste.
Internet 2025.

Keyboards divide us.

Typical hyper partisan bs.

Watching you all poutraged over the cost of this while at the same time being unable to provided even the most basic estimate as to what this cost is hilarious.
That you don’t realize just how much you are embarrassing yourself is even funnier.

"Vice President JD Vance’s office said the Secret Service requested that water levels in an Ohio river be raised to accommodate a birthday kayaking trip and the Republican was unaware. Vance was on a family vacation in south-western Ohio last week, and spotted by locals kayaking down the Little Miami River on his birthday on August 2, when he turned 41. The Secret Service requested that Army Corps engineers change the outflow of Caesar Creek Lake, which feeds into the river, to “support safe navigation” of Vance’s security detail, The Guardian first reported. An anonymous source told the newspaper the request was also made to create “ideal kayaking conditions” for the vice president, according to the report.

“It’s outrageous for the Army corps of engineers to spend taxpayer money to increase water flow in a river so @VP can go canoeing when budget cuts to the National Park Service have severely impacted family vacations for everyone else,” ethics lawyer Richard Painter, who served in George W. Bush’s administration, reacted in a post on X.

Certain accommodations have been made for the vice president’s family on other trips around the globe. During a recent trip to Italy, the Roman Colosseum was closed to the public so that his wife, Usha, and their children could take a tour, sparking anger among some tourists. The Taj Mahal also was closed to visitors during the Vance family's visit to India."

The Vice President leads a charmed life, eh?

Vance is a faux populist.
