I'm most worried at the country "donating" the plane. The Quataries are heavily involved in terrorism, and Iran still hasn't gotten its "revenge" for the assassination of Sulemon during Trump's first term. This plane would be an easy way to take out Trump and plunge us into our very own Middle-East war in retaliation. There's no such thing as "free" in negotiations in that sphere.

I don’t recall any President so blatantly pursuing money-making projects rather than those that benefit US as this slimeball POS does…

The first Leo confronted Atilla the Hun in the north of Italy and persuaded him not to invade Rome. Today Atilla the Hun and his uncouth hordes are in the White House. So there’s that…

Boy oh boy is Tom right: at every opportunity read and report Trump’s transcripts! I get that more people watch than read, but we who do the latter should take advantage of EVERY opportunity!

Poor dogs. You wore them out! 😉❤️

Great shot of your mother. ❤️

Gee, you don't suppose there are listening devices in that Qatari plane do you? 😉🤦‍♂️💩😂🤣 I wonder how long it will take to sweep it and clear it of all those devices?

I saw a picture of the interior. It's perfect for the Orange Turd as it looks like a house of prostitution.

Amazing how the Trump Crime Family keeps moving right along from grift to grift. I wonder what happened to all of that grift from the Biden Crime Family? Funny how the Republicans have dropped all those investigations isn't it?

Oh yeah, great conversation with Tom as always.

Listening late--Great interview with Tom Nichols.

77 million people voted for Trump--but I agree with Biden; Racism and Sexism in the USA drove that choo choo train.

And the policies Trump and his regime put forward now reinforce that concept.

Racism as evidenced by-fire all the black and brown people. DEI blamed and then stopped and books banned.

Remove appropriate healthcare from women (Propublica points out the increase in sepsis in many states that have banned abortion. MD's are letting women die to avoid getting charged with providing an "abortion" which it isn't) Concerning loss of pregnancy healthcare, loss of much of women's care.

We can see the Racism and Sexism right in front of us.

FYI Rolls Royce doesn’t make cars anymore (sold to BMW). Rolls Royce makes aircraft engines mainly. Rolls Royce engines are an option for the Boeing 787. British Airways always chooses RR engines for their aircraft if there is a RR option. So the announcement at the same time as the “trade deal structure” that BA ordered a number of Boeing aircraft makes the connection with RR. My guess is that the Boeing aircraft order with RR engines is the only concrete deal that will arrive from this “US/UK deal structure” for the foreseeable future.

Trump made no sense during the campaign. He even slurred his words. He lied his way through the debate with Biden and made a fool of himself during the debate with Harris,yet refused to debate her again. Still, he was excused and sane-washed. He has only won when running against women.

Let’s do a thought experiment asking whether this country has a huge problem with sexism and misogyny. A qualified and accomplished woman who just served as VP and has served as an elected AG runs against an elderly man with the above campaign history plus convictions for fraud, held civilly liable for sexual assault, was impeached twice in a previous term as president, and held an insurrection against our government. (And more). Now what if that woman lost the election to that man? People would say that’s too extreme an example and the country could still have a problem with sexism and misogyny. I rest my case.

Rubio would flip in a second for Trump. He is no “adult in the room.”

Perhaps the Qatari gift of the 747-8 Jumbo can become the Trump Presidential Library to be stationed in the waters next to Mara Lago. Entrance fee will be paid in $Tump and $Melania meme coins. From there you'll see all the golden toilets and other cheap items of Trump paraphernalia adorned in gold leaf. Also there will boxes of stored top secret documents.(not real of course) Note: there will be no important documents or books in this library. Hey after all, this is the Trump Presidential library.
