Joe Biden is in Nantucket with a lot of members of his extended family, staying at the $34+ million estate of the private equity billionaire David Rubenstein.
It's something Biden has been doing for years, even as he excoriates billionaires and claims to be "middle class" Joe, with his own beach home as well, albeit not quite as palatial as Rubenstein's.
But Naomi Biden posted a picture that our friends at our sister site Twitchy picked up on. The picture depicted Joe Biden and some of the extended family, all draped in towels. Among the people there was Hunter. Naomi Biden, one of Joe's granddaughters

"Annual Biden fam polar bear plunge," Naomi said. "Happy Thanksgiving!"
I have a few questions about this, as did others on X.
If Joe took the plunge, why does he appear to be in shoes with his hair perfectly coiffed as one X user noted? Now, those could be water shoes, but they look like his regular sneakers they've been having him wear to help reduce his tripping probability. All the other family members are in bare feet.
Also, he has atrial fibrillation among other issues, so it probably wouldn't be an advisable thing for him to do. So far, I haven't seen any current photo or witness confirmation on whether he went in.
But remember it's Joe -- the truck-driving, home-run-hitting, Naval Academy appointee, civil rights activist. He can do anything in his Forrest Gump-like life -- at least in his mind.
At least it's a relatively non-controversial way to "bathe" with members of his family. And Hunter was clothed. Although some on X asked where Navy was, Hunter Biden's daughter with Lunden Roberts. Little Beau -- Hunter's son with his current wife Melissa Cohen -- was in his father's arms. Some also asked if this was the beach where Hunter at some point in the past was running around without pants in a video that was found on the laptop.
I think this is supposed to show family togetherness, but for many what it showed was Biden was yet on another vacation, living the billionaire life, on their "private beach." When people are being crushed by Bidenflation, that's not exactly something to brag about.
Democratic strategist Chris Jackson, whose profile describes him as an election commissioner in Tennessee, commented on the event. He's known on X for posting all kinds of slobbering posts for Biden. I've written about him before in my story about photoshopped pictures of Biden. Here are his entries into trying to argue the "vigor" of Joe Biden.
President Biden did the polar plunge today. What did Donald Trump do? 🤷 https://t.co/LE1NmV8AjU

Former President Donald Trump was in Afghanistan to visit the troops in his third year in office.
Plus this year, he visited the border patrol and the National Guard and helped feed them some food.

Then Jackson posted this.
📸 President Biden famously works out, lifts weights, and rides a bike to stay healthy. And yesterday, as part of a long-running family tradition, he plunged into 40-degree water as part of a polar plunge.

Yet, the media wants you to worry about his health instead of the… pic.twitter.com/CvATkDMyMU
If you have to photoshop him or keep posting old pictures of Biden, that says everything right there. None of those pictures are current, except the one on the top left that Naomi posted of them all out of the water.
But I'm not sure that Jackson and the other Democrats get it: -- whether or not Biden jumped in cold water doesn't change the cognitive issues that we see every day. You can keep trying but you can't change Biden's brain breaking in front of us regularly.
