Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

Paid for by, of course, Americans.

A case study on how to appear to be doing something, while in fact doing nothing.

I don't give a shit about your road trip or your family. If you want to be a reality TV star then get out of government and stop wasting taxpayer dollars. You work for us and it boggles the mind why you think we are interested in your family life or your TV bullshit.

Go Away.

They had this all packaged and ready only WHOOPS their dumbass Dear Leader started a war and gas prices spiked.

His clueless out of touch quote a few days ago about people taking road trips was actually a promo for this it seems.

Saturday, May 9, 2026 2:15AM PT

A Frontier Airlines flight headed to Los Angeles struck and killed a person who was reportedly walking on a runway during takeoff Friday night at Denver International Airport. ... The person was at least partially consumed by one of the engines, an official confirmed to ABC News, causing a brief engine fire that was extinguished by firefighters.

At least one minor injury to a passenger has been reported and all those onboard the plane are being evaluated, which is standard procedure following an evacuation.

The incident happened at around 11:19 p.m. Friday when Frontier Flight 4345 reported striking a pedestrian during takeoff, according to a statement from Denver International Airport. There were 231 souls on board.

A source briefed on the incident told ABC News that airport security was inspecting the east perimeter fence on Saturday morning for gaps and the person struck did not appear to be connected to the work occurring on a parallel runway.

Did the Federal Government hire his production crew for this "reality show celebration the 250th B-Day"?
Were they paid during the Government Shutdown?
How much waste, fraud, and abuse went on; how many re-takes and outtakes where they stiffed local businesses and passers by flipped them off due to his unsafe out of towner/out of state driving habits?
Yeah, Reality shows are cheaper, but they're still expensive.
How much did this little PR Goofing Off cost the American taxpayer?

Yeah, the best people in this administration. Meanwhile, deregulation is killing people, and he wasn't there to stand up for even the concept of safe, reliable transportation and interstate transportation infrastructure to the psychos at DHS and the Whitehouse.
