To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.
A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.
When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.
You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.
In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.
With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

Bruce Springsteen appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show tonight and COOKED Trump and his goons
“I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke…. and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about”
First it was $200 million, then it was $300 million, then it was $400 million completely covered by donations from his wealthy buddies. Now it's going to cost $1 billion, and it's all paid by taxpayers.
Had enough yet?
The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.
There's a joke that says the difference between a cult and a religion is that in the cult, the leader is still alive and profiting from it. Hannity has left a religion to join a cult.
Ana Navarro: “You’ve got JD Vance out there telling the Pope to be careful with his words. When you work for a guy that celebrates Bob Mueller’s death, celebrates Rob Reiner’s death, posts images of the Obama’s as apes — you don’t have the moral standing to tell anybody to be careful with their words”
I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again.
Very few people appreciate what America lost when we lost newspapers.
Just being able to sit down every morning in silence and peruse news, opinion, sports, advice, recipes, interesting human interest stories all in one place was such a pleasure.
The Internet has never produced anything that comes close.
My conviction remains:
God did not ordain Donald Trump to rescue the American church, or revive the American church, or redeem the American church.
God ordained Donald Trump to test the American church. And the American church has failed.
@OnyxOdds It’s B. Shame to lump Chicago into group A. Gimme Chicago in B and add ATL and DAL in A. 95 corridor sports are the best on the planet and it’s not up for debate.
This is unreal:
"As tensions escalated, one U.S. official went so far as to invoke the Avignon Papacy, the period in the 1300s when the French Crown leveraged its military power to dominate the papal authority. The Department of Defense and the Nunciature did not respond to requests for comment."
