On Valentine’s Day in 2009, Biden jogged 2 1/2 miles from the vice president’s residence to the White House. While the vice president was in a meeting, she snuck into his office with the help of his assistant and painted “big multicolored hearts all over his windows for Valentine’s Day.

Not gonna lie, that’s really sweet.

Agreed. Or, likewise, if they were actual pranks and not excuses to commit various felonies.

Not sure why the downvotes, I thought it was a pretty good joke.

What could go wrong if I, First Lady Hillary, just go into the Oval Office unannounced?

She was doing this in her 60’s. Gives me hope that I can still get away with ridiculous stuff when I’m that age.

Only if you’re rich enough to have the best doctors, dieticians, trainers, etc in America.

I actually had a chance to talk to someone who is part of the flight crew who flies her (And other dignitaries) for the US as first lady and they said Jill Biden is the real deal. Extremely nice, even singing happy birthday to one of the crew when she found out it is their birthday.

Kind of one of those things I’m glad to hear about.

Though I kind of thought there was something off, but this was back when Biden was VP. (She would almost never fly on Air Force 2 now since that’s the VP’s designation)

I meant with the story/reporting. Mentally, I forgot Biden was VP first, and didn’t think the story would be about her ten years ago, but well… clearly it was. Nothing to really worry about.

Wow, these famous people sure have a weird sense of humor to do something like this just for fun.

She could be doing something worthwhile with her time instead, like shitposting on a niche forum of 30 something years old tech workers about a movie for little girls.
