"This is the Wild West here in Florida."

Looks more like the south-east to me.

Sounds like the tip of an iceberg.

"when the movement writ large realizes the sanctity of our elections is paramount" and that's why we want to stop anyone except us from voting.

Yeah, right.

Trump's private Boeing 757 sitting idle in disrepair at New York airport.
thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/544092-trumps-private-boeing-757-sitting-idle-in-disrepair-at-ny-airport

Former President Trump's personal Boeing 757 is sitting unused at an Orange County, New York airport, unable to be flown, CNN reports.

The full-size passenger airliner, which bears Trump's name across the side in large block letters, has fallen into disrepair. One engine is shrink-wrapped and the other is missing parts, according to the outlet.

Getting the plane, which was 20 years old when Trump purchased it in 2010, back into flying shape could reportedly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Trump's Boeing 757 was a staple during his 2016 presidential campaign. Since becoming a private citizen, he's been flying on his smaller 1997 Cessna 750 Citation X corporate jet, according to CNN.

According to the Trump Organization, Trump's current jet can seat nine passengers comfortably.

"The small jet isn't his favorite," a former White House official told CNN. "It also doesn't have his name on the outside."

"O how the mighty have fallen!!!"

No wonder he wanted to leave the WH before he was 'de-throned'. The ignominy of having to leave DC in a 'mere' un-labeled Citation knowing everyone would be whispering "But where is his personalized 757???". lolz

U.S. relations with its two biggest geo-political rivals are facing severe tests as President Joe Biden tries to assert America's place in the world and distinguish himself from his predecessor

'An amateur mask broker who was awarded more than $38 million in federal contracts to provide N95 masks has pleaded guilty to defrauding three different federal agencies as part of a scheme to profit from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Robert Stewart Jr., 35, pleaded guilty to three counts of making false statements, wire fraud and theft of government funds Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia, including charges that he lied to the Department of Veterans Affairs in April in order to win a $34.5 million no-bid deal to supply personal protective equipment to nurses and doctors in a sprawling health system serving 9 million veterans. He similarly acknowledged lying to the Federal Emergency Management Agency when he stated he had masks “stored securely in our climate control warehouse located in VA and PA,” according to his plea agreement.'

I hope the airport has got somebody paying for the hangarage, because they won't make much by seizing it.

It's ridiculous. And these idiot kids come from all over the US so this is going to be a multi-day super spreader event that's going to be felt all over the US. But let's not piss off Doofus, eh Gov DeSantis?

We're actually heading to FLA in May but we're fully vaccinated, traveling with our RV, and staying in the 'Disney Bubble' where requirements are much stricter than Florida's. If we didn't have our RV we wouldn't be going.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 21/03/2021 14:24

Heh. I asked an aviation friend about the hangarage and he replied

old.panynj.gov/airports/pdf/scheduleofcharges-swf.pdf is the key document. Working on decoding their categories.

OK, looks like large general aviation, so $1.25 per 1,000lbMGW per 8 hours, or a bit under $1,000 per day. But that document explicitly says that if other arrangements have been made the standard schedule doesn't apply, and any Trump minion would insist on having a special private arrangement.

Even so, it's quite a lot to be paying for something he can't use.

I have a feeling that generally when the Fart has "bounced back" it has been using other people's money: he used to be regularly bailed out by his father, until Daddy died and he had to fall back on banks and Russians.

That's the damn truth! That fuckwit has never had to stand on his own two (financial) feet.

He's not even that good at standing on his physical feet...
