President Joe Biden, his wife Jill and the extended Biden clan have camped out at the luxurious Nantucket compound owned by billionaire businessman turned philanthropist David Rubenstein for the Thanksgiving holiday.Like Biden, Rubenstein grew up in a middle-class, blue-collar family and originally started his career in government service. But he left that path to form a private equity company that would make him a billionaire many times over.Along the way, Rubenstein made friends with the rich and the powerful and on both sides of the political aisle: George H.W. Bush was an adviser to his company while Jimmy Carter is a close friend (who's also stayed at Rubenstein's Nantucket home).

So is Rubenstein one of the puppeteers who are calling the shots in this administration?

Another billionaire with a mansion on an island. I guess he's not too worried about sea levels rising either.

Rented with taxpayer money no doubt. Den of thieves.

Meanwhile, air crews, secret service agents and other staff will miss the holiday with their families. I doubt that Brandon cares.
FJB!

Back in the 1960s, there was a meeting of various Mafia families, at a motel in the Catskills, as I recall.
The meeting was raided by the NY State Police and the FBI, and it was such a large deal, FBI Director H. Edgar Hoover had to recognize, for the first time, the existence of the Mafia.
There are those who believe that FBI field agents conducted the raid without headquarters participation or approval, to force Hoover's hand on the Mafia. (Up until that time, Hoover was interested in pursuing car thieves, bank robbers, and communists.)
I thought of that raid when I read thus article.
And one more thing - how did Dementia Jo pay for Nantucket even before he was a senator? He was poor, remember? And even on a senator's salary, he could not afford child care for his two little boys? What is wrong with that picture??

The White House isn't large enough for the extended Biden (minus a certain grandchild) clan?

Sniffing little boys and girls without those pesky prying eyes... I truly despise this human.

And FJB spent the day before Thanksgiving at a soup kitchen practicing up on how to carve an unpardoned turkey.

I guess Biden figures if he's going to have his most expensive Thanksgiving ever, the rest of us should too.

Joe has probably paid this “rent” a gazillion times over during the last 47 years.
Jillz has to be in Seventh Heaven - and freezing her backside off. Sensible people are not on Nantucket in late November. Swim there? Water temp 52.9. (never more than 68ish in July and August, the summer months. Beggars can’t be choosers...

Camp David would be nice.
Let's pray for divine protection for Beau's widow and daughters.
Uncle Hunter might be up to his old tricks.

"We Bougie like Natty in the styrofoam
Squeak-squeakin' in the truck bed all the way home
Some Alabama-jamma, she my Dixieland delight
Ayy, that's how we do, how we do, fancy like..."
Ooops, isn't Beaus widow that hunter was banging on this trip too? Along with his alabama stripper girlfriend/wife and their 'surprise" baby?
Uhmm...and isn't her name "Natty"???

GWB used to go spend Thanksgiving at Camp David, which has it's own small dedicated full time security team, anti aircraft and anti missle protections so that his SS Detail, and ALL of his staff could spend the day with their Families, then go to the Crawford Ranch, which had similar facilities, remoteness and ease of protection. allowing many of those that worked for him to have a "Normal" holiday, not just for thanksgiving, but Christmas too.
Biden's team spent the last week flying in hundreds of vehicles, military, police, multiple additional SS teams...diverted ships to the area, has a jet fighter air cap...blocking roads, controlling entry/access, traffic...FORTIFIED and militarized an entire Island town.
