For most of us, a day at the lake means finding the right spot and heading there. For Vice President JD Vance, it meant using an ethically questionable and government-resourced approach to creating the perfect lake birthday party.
According to The Guardian, Vance's team had the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers change the outflow of Caesar Creek Lake in Ohio for his 41st birthday bash.
Manual adjustments to lake outflows can sometimes prevent flooding and help mitigate potential safety risks. In this case, the reasoning was to "support safe navigation of U.S. Secret Service personnel" and, according to The Guardian's anonymous source, to fashion "ideal kayaking conditions."
In simple terms, the VP had the water levels of the lake adjusted to host a kayak-themed birthday party.

This rubs me because he's an asshole and, at only 41, I have look at that asshole for another 30 years.
