No comment. Nothing on the schedule for Wuhan either.

#2 Actually, it does make sense for him to stay away. All it would do would be to take resources away from firefighting and recovery to guide and guard him.
For once, I am actually defending a Joe Biden decisionl

#3 I agree Rambler. I don't know why people demand the president comes for a state disaster. That isn't their fucking job. The FEMA appointee, that IS there job. I wouldn't go and tie up resources just so I could get my PR photo of me staring out a helicopter window at the mess below.

#4 Yeah, Trump would have gotten a lot of praise for "staying out of the way."

#5 Bush got slammed for just flying over New Orleans after Katrine, rather than tying up valuable resources on the ground.

#6 Maybe Joe has a situation room in Delaware that allows him to keep tabs on developing situations. Perhaps, it has Legos. I notice that he doesn’t play golf at this point in his slope down into oblivion. Maybe he drilled Humpty Dumpty too hard or the or damaged the windmill on his last round and got asked not to return.

#7 ("No comment.") He's an asshole.

#10 This is why I declined to move to Hawaii for a promotion. The islands only ever have 4 weeks emergency food rations as it's the most remote place on the planet. Oh, that and "long pig". I pray for those locals and curse those who caged them thus.

#11 Poor Joe, red-faced object of hate,
Looks surprisingly orange of late,
Like old Branagh enthroned
On the bridge, but more stoned,
As he scuppers our great ship of state.

Troubles double feature last night. Commas back in stock at local Time Saver!

#12 Situation room in Delaware? Well, there were a lot of files in the garage locked with a key and all that.

Haven't heard much about that one lately, either.

#13 Nobody normal wants Joe anywhere, least of all in Hawaii right now. But to just blow it off with”no comment” - while sunbaking on the beach- is astoundingly sociopathic.
I wonder if he even knows. What’s the point, it would just confuse him, somebody says “Hawaii” and he jokes about girls in grass skirts. Just whisper “no comment” in his ear if a microphone approaches.
