I imagine the search for the 747’s going something like this:
“Hey, this is John Smith from the Pentagon, The President is lookin’ for a new plane. Y’all got any specials?”
“Hiya John. Long time no hear. Yeah, I got a couple sweet 47’s out on the back lot that some commie pinko backed out on. I’ll give ’em to you at a reasonable price and throw in the undercoating and new-plane smell for free. The toilet seats are going to cost you, though…..”
“If they’re the dash eight models, throw in a set of tires and you’ve got yourself a buyer!”
“Tires! What do you think I’m made of, rubber? [pause] Aw, John, you’re right. We go back a long way together, so I’m giving you a nice set of Michelin’s, made with genuine Vietnamese rubber. Now you know that these birds are el strippo; they only have the crew seats and one lavatory. Everything else is aftermarket. And, because we’re buddies, I’ll even arrange financing. Even with your credit, we can get you set up. We got Illinois a dozen planes for Chicago last week. I’ll get the paperwork underway. Say hi to the Mrs. for me.”
I don’t know who you are, but this made my Friday a little better. LOL
Maybe both of you should hang out more often.. 😉
A day after it is reported (or for the Republican reader, a day after the fake news) that Trump fabricated phone conversations with the leaders of both the Boy Scouts and Mexico, transcripts of some of Trump’s actual conversations have been leaked. “[W]e have the drug lords in Mexico that are knocking the hell out of our country. They are sending drugs to Chicago, Los Angeles, and to New York. Up in New Hampshire — I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den — is coming from the southern border.”—WH transcript of Trump speaking with the Mexican President.
.
Classic Trump, Trump won the NH GOP Presidential primary, but not the General Election. The quote was one of many narcissistic remarks that you can read for yourself: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/australia-mexico-transcripts/?utm_term=.48f9d46b1560
.
So is NH better or worse than “crime-infested” Atlanta? Doesn’t matter. The whole country is a total hell-hole, if the White House building itself is as Trump has said, a “real dump”
“He speaks loudly and carries a small stick,” — Mexican official’s quip after reading the leaked transcripts of Trump’s conversation with the Mexican President.
Speculation and made up s—t that follows the GOP President’s lead, except it’s motivation is fun, not the greed and self-aggrandizement that is Trump’s primary motivation….
.
Wouldn’t it hilarious if “I alone can fix it” Trump turns out to be a leading cause of investigation and charges that could put Don Jr in jail? Recall that Trump, while flying back from the G-20, personally crafted Don Jr’s lie that Jr’s meeting with the Russians was about adoptions. Only hours before the flight, Trump had met privately with Putin at the G-20.
.
Maybe Putin and Trump colluded at that meeting that their story would be that their discussion was about adoptions—there would be no one but Trump, Putin and Putin’s hand-picked translator to say otherwise—should news of their meeting become public in a way that necessitated one or the other or both explain what was discussed. Then Trump, impulsive idiot that he is, promptly decides to co-opt the adoption explanation for Jr’s meeting. Maybe the adoption bit was a Putin idea that he planted with Trump, knowing it would be revealed a transparent lie! Putin after all is a lot sharper that Fox News, Trumps main source of ideas and information.
.
Sure, in actuality a fool father causing a son the prospect of jail time is no laughing matter, but Don Jr would be pardoned—Trump has already checked into that, so there’s no chance of jail.
The fascinating part of that to me is- who leaked that? Who was on Air Force One that could have knowledge of that interaction? It seems somebody VERY close to Trump is leaking. Which is weird.
Yeah Miller could play the faceless bureaucrat who orders the displacement of entire towns. Mr. Internal Exile. Jeff Sessions’ boy.
Don’t forget it can be someone who told others that told others, one of which leaked. A WH where staff and aides are prohibiting from communicating amongst themselves about what the Precedent says and does would be even worse that the current dysfunction.
More victims. Like with cigarettes, should not get a dime. Pathetic.
