Can you imagine the explaining a repub would have to do it he were seen buying that. Joe's a cool guy. Hell the whole executive branch is badass.

5. Probably no liquor in that cart. Costco uses old boxes to package your purchases. . .

Also, I doubt any politician would want to be seen wheeling cases of whiskey to their car.

And finally, my understanding is Joe Biden is a teetotaler.

I have never been to a Costco, didnt know that. Also figured Joe, as a good Irish Catholic, would like a little whiskey. But I guess this WH is a beer drinkers WH.

13. Sorry to burst the rest of the bubble, but Biden doesn't drink at all -- not even beer or wine. . .

It's said the experience of witnessing the damage alcohol inflicted on his mother's family, and the descent of his brother into alcoholism, convinced Biden at an early age to abstain from all alcohol. Many of us Irish do, some for those same reasons.

I sure wouldn't want any huge crowd following me around, taking my picture, watching what I buy!

He's doing it, and he's smiling!

Wow.

I am grateful that we are seeing more Costco stores here in the upper Midwest. It's so very welcome to have an employer who sees its workers as a blessing and an asset. Ido not do Walmart so I am very pleased to see more Costcos here.

It's worth it, but it would be nice if they opened some more of them!

...love the picture of VP Biden!
