    Give it to the Air Force so they can test out a few missiles on it.

    Preferably with Trump still inside it.

    …this evening.

      Murdoch’s age is just insane. His fucking father was a stain on humanity during fucking WWI, and that dude was already in his 30s at the time.

          Oh but they does. Keith Murdoch (Rupert’s father) was born in 1885 so was 29 at the outbreak of WWI. Rupert (literally Keith Rupert Murdoch) was born in 1931 when his father was 46.

            My bad. You said it was Rupert who was in his 30s during WW I and I thought that’s what you meant.

              I said “that dude was already in his 30s” and I meant daddy Keith. Never mind, they’re both pieces of shit. The only reason Keith is less of a piece of shit is that he’s long dead.

      He’ll leave office in a few years (let it be very few), whether walking, dragged, or feet-first.

      No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

      Technically that right there would make it ok if the house passes the same. But my God, if we’re going to use that qualifier to let the president have something from a foreign state did it have to be a fucking 747?

        This vote was against an amendment to a bill that would ban him from keeping it. Not a grant to do so.

          Good to know! Something like this should absolutely be impeachable (I know lots of things should be, but this is one of the most clear IMO) and with a little luck things will change after 2026

          I know, I can dream…

    Are there not laws that determine gifts and compensation for the President that would be broken here? And if not, why not?

    I’m curious to know who is going to pay to keep it airworthy, if DT does leave office? Those things aren’t cheap to maintain.

    If he leaves office he won’t be in a position to grant political favours to friends.

      His Trumpcoin scam is one rugpull away from being converted to actual useful money.

    They show their priorities again and again.

    Epstein list?

    Trump sending thousands of payments to epstein?

    Nope, gotta shut down government to avoid it.

    Letting trump keep a plane that Saudi’s tricked us into taking cause its more expensive to renovate it than to buy a replacement, but its no big deal cause we’re taking away peoples healthcare to pay for it? Urgent issue. MUST VOTE.
