Again at home in Delaware, Biden's weekends are mostly a mystery

President Joe Biden is again spending the weekend in Delaware, but just how he spends his days of leisure are shrouded in mystery.

The White House has so far released very little information about what he does on Saturdays and Sundays, providing the public with scant details about whom he spends time or speaks to.

When he arrived at his Wilmington residence Friday afternoon, it marked his seventh trip home as president as the country returns to some semblance of normal amid the coronavirus pandemic and a day after he cleared his 100th in office.

Presidents never experience "a true weekend or true vacation," according to Eric Schultz, a White House principal deputy press secretary for former President Barack Obama.

"The office and the responsibilities follow you wherever you go," Schultz told the Washington Examiner. "Given the nature of the job, there’s no clean break from the work when President Biden is in White House residence or even back home in Delaware."

But the descriptions the White House provides regarding Biden's weekend schedule are becoming increasingly vague.

Biden uses his weekends to "take a moment, to take a breath" since he has a "limited amount of free time" as the "leader of the free world," Psaki told reporters.

President Joe Biden is again spending the weekend in Delaware, but just how he spends his days of leisure are shrouded in mystery.

While I wish he were fit enough to play a round of golf, how Biden spends his weekends is none of my business (unless they are spent in a coma, of course).

In defense of Biden's weekends, Schultz was adamant it was important for the 78-year-old to "recharge."

"None of us want the president running on empty — so the trick for every president is to find ways to clear their minds, release some tension, and stay well," he said.

Recharge? I guess that's one way to describe being pumped full of drugs.

It's unheard of for the POTUS to have a two and a half days lid every week.   This makes it my business

It's our business that the POTUS is physically and mentally incapable of doing the job, and that those actually running the country are unknown to us (though we all have our suspicions).

I quite imagine POTUS doing the same thing my housecats do every weekend. Sleeping, eating, pooping, sleeping.

Your cats or a six-month-old baby. That's our president!

Howie Carr: Don’t worry, Biden’s mumbles have continued

It’s time for another edition of Weekend at Biden’s, with all dialogue guaranteed verbatim.

Dementia Joe has been enduring what is for him an arduous schedule, including a prime-time speech to Congress that few watched, in addition to brief visits to Georgia and a train station in Philadelphia.

There was drama galore — on Thursday in Georgia he misplaced his mask. First he desperately hunted for it on the podium, then leafed through his briefing book. His worried wife Jill checked the floor as he mumbled, “Looking for my mask. I’m in trouble.” ...

On Friday, he visited an Amtrak station in Philadelphia, where he waxed nostalgic:

“When we were when I was vice president with Barack he allowed me to put together a budget for Amtrak and it had money for high-speed rail at 200 miles an hour from from uh uh Char excuse me Charlotte one and another line going from in Florida down to Tampa and another line if we had moved Gov we’d have that tunnel fixed in New York now. The money was there to get it done.”

You don’t say, Mr. President. But what about your personal experience on commuter rail from Union Station in DC to Wilmington, Del.?

“I literally literally every single day that I was in the United States Senate got the the the either the 7:28 it became the 7:32 and or got home on if I got lucky I got the I got the Metro that the last one left at 6 or the 7:30 coming home.” ...

Serious stuff, but Joe Biden always takes time out to try to bring a smile to the faces of the little people. For instance, at some Zoom conference he suddenly began addressing someone in the Navajo Nation, where his wife had been visiting, he said, for much too long.

“Let my wife come home. She likes the Navajo Nation too much. She keeps being out there. She’s been out there for two days. She was out there before. I don’t know. You know what I mean? I called her I said where are you? She said oh I’m staying another day. So you know let her come home OK? I don’t want her you know that’s too far for me to commute.” ...

Yes, he definitely needs another 3- or 4-day weekend.

We'd be better off if your cats were running the administration.
