There are two AirForce Ones being built right now, they won’t be done until 2028. This stupid jet that Qatar is giving Trump is going to cost the U.S. at least 4 billion dollars.
If it is to be used for an AirForce One it must be dismantled completely and the frame dismantled and redesigned and remodeled, then X-ray’d & the frame must go through an expensive treatment that applies an electromagnetic pulse shielding, the engines must be replaced with highly modified engines that produce more power and dependability. Secure electronics & communication components must be installed.
The outer shell panels must be stripped to the metal, X-ray’d & repainted w/electromagnetic shielding paint. Self defense mechanisms like anti missile systems must also be installed.
By the time Qatar’s aircraft was completed it would be well into the 2030’s …it would essentially be the newest and most expensive AirForce One, it wouldn’t go into Trump’s library until 2050. About the time Trump will of finished building his gigantic library that will hold no books, only one 4 billion dollar stripped out plane.

@sirDukeDevin Rubio looks scared, he knows what's coming. The rest look like they are trying to keep favor with their dear leader.

[Melanie 🦋 @ACaliCheesehead]

Just like the war in Ukraine. "I will end it in 24 hours." Just like the healthcare plan."You'll see our plan in 2 weeks." The trade war. "You'll just have to trust me." tRump has no plan. He DOESN'T care if people suffer, as long as it isn't him.

@patriottakes That thing is ugly as fuck, I've seen 5 yr olds design a better body. That thing is a glorified minivan and nothing more.

Let me break down the SAVE Act, which Congress is voting on this week.

If you got married and changed your name, your ID will not match your birth certificate.

If you do not have a passport, and your ID does not match your birth certificate, you cannot prove your citizenship, according to the SAVE Act. You will not be able to vote.

The SAVE Act will disenfranchise tens of millions of women in America. It’s blatant voter suppression.

@JenniferTilly That is a great memory, thank you for sharing!

@Jacobtmueller @stejim95 @DarrigoMelanie @Tesla All of the things you mentioned, are things that were created/made by others, and Musk has used govt money, not his own, to advance these companies and then tried to lay claim as the creator behind the science and engineering.

@Jacobtmueller @stejim95 @DarrigoMelanie @Tesla With billions of dollars worth of help from the federal government.

Elon bought Twitter for $44B, and sold it to his own company for $33B. He can write-off that $11B loss on his taxes.

Teachers can only write-off up to $300 worth of their school supplies on their taxes.

This is what a tax code written to benefit oligarchs looks like.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

This is sickeningly chilling:

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was marked by a systematic campaign to dismantle democratic institutions, suppress dissent, and undermined democratic elections, while dehumanizing minority groups.

Shortly after taking power in 1933, Hitler’s regime began reshaping how German history and culture were presented to the public while demanding loyalty instead of institutional allegiance. The Nazis purged museums, universities, libraries, and cultural institutions of anything that contradicted their ideology. School curricula and museum exhibits were rewritten to glorify the Aryan race and erase Germany’s responsibility for World War I. Any content deemed "degenerate" or "un-German" was removed.

Hitler then undermined judicial independence by pressuring judges to conform to Nazi ideology and calling for the expulsion of those judges who did not. Hitler and his propaganda machine frequently claimed that protesters and political opponents were not genuine, but rather paid agitators working for foreign interests—especially Communists and Jews. This narrative helped justify violent crackdowns and mass arrests.

His regime also crushed independent journalism, replacing it with tightly controlled propaganda that manipulated public opinion. Hitler sent thousands of people who were perceived threats to concentration camps without trials or due process.

Most significantly, he cast aside the constitutional limits of the Weimar Republic, which destroyed any remaining constitutional limits on his rule.

I see a "The President doesn't need to be a natural-born citizen" movement coming soon. He can't get to Mars, so he's trying to buy the US.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Musk: When the United States was formed, there were only secretary of state, secretary of war, secretary of the treasury and attorney general. That was it. If it were up to me, I would say let's make it like that again.
