Apparently there is low morale among the Secret Service agents assigned to Vice President JD Couchfucker Vance, as Vance’s office presses for inappropriate and excessive trips and assignments for the Vance family’s last minute travel plans.
Last Thursday, JD’s perks were to include a trip to Joint Base Andrews in Washington DC for his young son’s golf lesson at the base’s world class golf center — on Marine Two, the helicopter assigned to the couchfucker.
The planned trip on Marine Two, the call-sign for the U.S. Marine Corps helicopter that carries the vice president, was canceled at the last minute due to severe thunderstorms and high winds in the Washington, D.C., area that day, according to two people with knowledge of the flight plans. Vance planned to travel with his son on the flight to Joint Base Andrews — which includes a secure, world-class golf center — according to two other administration officials with knowledge of his schedule.
While there is no policy that prohibits the use of a taxpayer funded helicopter for the transport of the Vice President’s child, former and current Secret Service supervisors agreed the ask is unprecedented.
Previous VP’s showed reluctance to waste taxpayer monies for such a frivolous ask and agents would typically transport children locally by utility vehicles.
The White House Military Office, which reports to the president, would have to authorize the use of the helicopter for the golf lesson. Operating the helicopter costs taxpayers between $16,000 and $24,600 per hour of use, according to 2022 Defense Department budget estimates.
The Vances are expanding their family with a fourth child expected to be delivered late this month, and have recently requested last minute chopper trips to house hunt in the region around Middleburg, Virginia. They are looking to buy or rent a larger home for their new infant and children ages nine, six, and four.
Hastily arranged trips “costs shit-tons of taxpayer money,” according to one of the sources provided to reporters Carol Leonnig and Vaughn Hillyard at:
