I’m definitely opposed to giving immigrants a free 747 to cross the boarder. That would spoil them and destroy their work ethic
It’s a goodwill gift from a middle eastern ally - it would be foolish not to accept this gesture…
It’s not at all obvious that our Orange Julius Caesar won’t still be using AF1 four years from now, Ron.
Honestly, the topic under discussion is shocking yet you choose to ignore it and instead wag a finger at the Editor’s grammar? Maybe a private note to him would have been wiser.
I’ve just been trying to wrap my head around what a Trump Presidential Library looks like. Maybe a giant smart phone scrolling through his Truth Social account? Perhaps his art collection: statues of himself, AI pictures of himself as Pope, as a Star Wars character, or a GI Joe wannabe (with special orthotics for his bone spurs)? And in the GREAT HALL OF TRUMP’S DIPLOMATIC UTTERANCES, the words, “Vladimir, STOP!”, etched in ten-foot letters in a marble wall.
I will gladly pay the $1,500 (coincidentally, what’s left of my 401K) for the price of admission.
And what’s the next bribe? A donated private resort in the Pacific to act as a remote White House? Just when one thinks the bottom of the moral and ethics barrel has been reached with MAGA (Morons Are Governing America) there’s an new low waiting tomorrow…
Grift gotta grift ! The most blatant grift in American History !
???
The question is possibility of bribing, NOT trade nor immigration.
The US has laws against gifts, to prevent straight bribing.
(But contributing to someone’s favourite charity?)
Would Canada offering to become 5st state of USA be a prohibited gift? :-o)
Reminds me of a flap in northern WA state years ago, locals claiming US was about to invade Canada.
US Army denied that.
Finally local sheriff called Army and said “Look, clean cut young males with new gear are not hunters.”
Army fessed up, just a convenient place to practice or train, c/w a campground.
“So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA,” Trump wrote.
I had no idea that there were so many TDS victims reading AVweb, or at least so vociferous.
Great question and other than all the objects of self-adulation, I suspect the actual number of tomes would be fairly limited: Goodnight Moon, third grade picture book translations of Mein Kampf and Marx’s Manifesto, The Plot Against the King by Kash Patel and, of course, reams of classified documents removed from the first “administration.” And by the way, the anticipated admission price has now risen to $5,000 per person due to a soon to be enacted tariff on all public building admissions!
Yeah, there be a good mix of posters here usually. But you may want to consider that TDS, BDS, ODS or POS are not real things, and don’t affect real people. Just sayin’.
They’re imaginary, like the Boogeyman or Santa Claus or Stable Genius.
Accordingly, it gives the finger-pointer a bad look, redundantly revealing to everyone that one would rather live in a distorted make-believe land instead of objective reality. And as pilots, is that really a choice we have?
Maybe comment on the subject of discussion. You never know, our ‘Fertilization President’ who intends to ‘protect women whether they like it or not’ might hear about it and even put it on Truth Social!
You rather conveniently ignored the topic
