JD Vance met by protesters on Nantucket
Chanting demonstrators carrying signs gathered along the road outside the fundraiser where the vice president was scheduled to headline Tuesday.

(58,524 posts)The cost of houses there is off the charts, and the people there (and the Vineyard) hold LOTS of fundraisers every summer. Obama and the Clintons were regulars, and this year, I know Senators Ossoff and Hickenlooper are coming, and I think Katie Hobbs of Arizona was planning a trip, though I dont know exactly when. If Nantucket werent such a pain to get to from Provincetown, Id be making the trek over there myself a couple of times just to see the gang. I know there are people that hire private planes for just such occasions. I am not one of them.

Once a great whaling port, now it's become a private place for prissy plutocrats.

(5,030 posts)A Vance once went to Nantucket,
Where protesters said he could suck it.
Said he with a whine,
The fault isnt mine!
If consequence came, he would duck it.

like a pack of chislers.
