basilico: Feedthenation. Confirmed Biden admin needed a backup to Air force One and begun discussions about purchasing that same plane over one year ago.
Are you going to retract that it's a bribe to Trump .
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., recently claimed that widely-criticized negotiations with Qatar over a $400 million Air Force One temporary replacement gift began under the Biden administration – not after President Donald Trump took office.
"What no one is talking about is [that] this same 747 has been in negotiations for a year," Mullin said on CNN Wednesday.
"The Biden administration is the one that started these conversations. It didn't start underneath the Trump administration – need a back-up for Air Force One."
Mullin said there is no current backup plane for Air Force One, which is about 40 years old. A recent backup was retired from service due to "structural issues," the senator said.......
I am now accepting sincere apologies
"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
Tell your media that Trump is threatening to sue ABC for their hit piece on the Qatar jet.
---Senator Markwayne Mullin's statement—unsurprising from one of the most loyal MAGA mouthpieces—is laughable---Blaming Biden has become the default reflex in MAGA circles---Is this really the best they’ve got?---If Biden had any knowledge of or involvement in the so-called 'jumbo gift,' don’t you think Felon 47 would’ve blasted it all over Truth Social, accusing him of corruption and cozying up to Qatar?---Do you believe loudmouths like Sean Hannity---Pete Hegseth (when he was still a Fox host) Chris Tucker---Joe Rogan would have stayed silent?---Would the MAGA GOP in Congress (Jim Jordan) have missed a chance to scream 'corruption' from the rooftops? Please---
---Do you seriously believe that Felon 47 would have not called Biden unspeakable names if he know about the negotiations over a year ago---
raumdeuter: I hope he gets the rest he deserves with his family and loved ones. And safe recovery
Away from the manipulations and deception of the democratic media
---Praying for strength, healing, and peace for Joseph R. Biden and his extended family--- and away from the manipulations and deception of Felon 47---MAGAdiots and propaganda media - FoxNews---OANN---Brietbarts---Newsmax---
---Unfortunately ---as hard it is---PBAT is the only candidate---as power of incumbency---Peter Obi is not fit to lead Nigeria at this stage---he can't even lead the Labour Party---
raumdeuter: Despite the uncertainties, gas prices are falling, grocery price is falling, inflation is falling
---and despite the failing egg prices---Moody's just downgraded US AAA credit rating---due to raising debt concerns---which may further put a dent in Felon 47's 'big beautiful bill' to reduce tax for his billionaire chumps---
Egg prices saw the largest one-month decline in more than four decades.
Egg prices fell 12.7% last month, the biggest monthly decline since 1984, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. And they could continue to fall this month, too: The USDA reported last week that a dozen large white-shell eggs now cost $3.30 on average, down a whopping 69 cents from a week before. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/13/business/egg-prices-trump-inflation
---Felon 47 to set another round of trade tariffs for countries---the uncertainty continues---
I have not seen the perennial anti Trump bridge here commenting on the $200B Boeing order. Their concern is the luxury jet gift , which is ironical because Boeing can't take a newer airframe,retrofit it with security ,comms, chaffs and flares, boardrooms etc for 8 years counting. The gift will be retrofitted to air force one class in less than 2 years. Boeing last built the 747 airframe in 2022, a freighter cargo plane .
Now that the ME trip has spurred unimaginable economic investment deals the brigade is silent looking for it's next hit pieces.. white south African refugees , etc.Anything to forget the $200B deal plus $1 Trillion investments expected. Tells you a lot about liberal democrats. One sided myopic way of looking at life. cc obrigardo
---@ the bolded---would you honesty make the same statement if it was reported that Joe Biden is planning to receive a jumbo jet gift from a country who supports Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood or any other foreign nationals with 'questionable characters' as mentioned by Sean Hannity---
---Also what is the cost to retrofit the 747-8 that would only be used for about 2 years before Felon 47 library takes ownership---at a time when Felon 47 and President Musk's DOGE are looking for ways to cut waste in government and also reduce the amount going to past US presidents' presidential libraries---
---clips of Felon 47 that the Clintons are bought by the Saudis for Arms deals---now Felon 47 is sleeping in bed with the same Saudis and Qataris, who are Hamas and Muslim rotherhood sympathisers and supporter---during his trip to Middle East---
Abbott Laboratories Illinois-based medical device company Abbott Laboratories said in a statement Wednesday that a $500 million investment in manufacturing, research and development capabilities at plants in Illinois and Texas will "go live" by the end of the year.

happney65: BREAKING: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announces a hold on all Trump DOJ nominees over Trump's plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar. Schumer also called for AG Pam Bondi to testify.
basilico: Obama mess. He tried to overthrow Assad --- funded ,armed and trained moderate jihadists who would later join ISIS.The rest is history We have a former Al Qaeda No 10 most wanted terrorist as Syria President . Thanks to Obama interference and creation of the Arab spring. Catastrophic foreign policy failure which no single journalist has ever asked him to take responsibility for the murders,beheadings , rape ,slave trade and the rise of the Islamic caliphate.
Syrian President is proposing to build a Trump Tower in Damascus. Now he also wants an Ukraine style mineral deal with Trump in return for easing of sanctions. He is also meeting Trump in Saudi Arabia.
I would hope that this jihadist president ( who will most likely implement Sharia eventually) will be forced to protect the Kurdish people and the Yazidis.And also expel the Turkish army from the north western Syrian territories it controls
---@ the bolded---so Felon 47 continues to grift-off and use his name for financial deals---as part of his mission to the Middle East---
---What would you say if Biden or Obama allowed their names to be used for any development in that region?---
---Of course you will resort to insults as usual---in your last comment---
Ben Shapiro slams Donald Trump for accepting a $400 million jet as a gift from Qatar:
"Taking sacks of goodies from people who support Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Jazeera, all the rest — that’s not America First!... I think inherently it is bad. I do not think this is good. I think if we switched the names to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, we’d all be freaking out on the Right."
---Even staunch MAGAs like Laura Loomer is against Felon 47's decision---to accept the 747-8---
---so ask yourself the same question, "how come I'm so ignorant that Felon 47 is willing to accept such a massive the gift---and still claim it is just a donation---
IjeBos: This post is emblematic of MAGA 1.) Their view of things is limited by their education and their own mental capacities and so they have inability to think larger about the interconnectedness of the world and its effect to the US's health and economics. Ex. How does cutting off funding to Top Research Universities/Institutions help/hurt the US in a decade. 2.) They claim they are Christian but seem to not really understand the message Christ preached.
This post is a culmination of both.
---MAGAdiots and their sympathisers checklist---they won't provide a straight answer---
- don't answer - deflect and blame Biden, Obama, Democrats - talk over, shout, lie and be rude - insult and randomly cry witch hunt, or DEI or Wokeism - flood the space with 'whataboutism' - run away scared
basilico: My understanding of the presidential jet is that Boeing was paid in 2018 to deliver 2 jets ,deliveet for 2024 but will do it on 2027 . Is he not spiting Boeing ,by giving them the 6th generation fighter jet order but can't deliver a 747 . They are not designing a new aiframe like for the F-47, they have all the details to the diameter of every bolt,nut and bearing.
---Felon 47 signed the contract for the presidential jet with Boeing in 2018---but why is he adamant to receive the 747-8 gift from Qatar, a country that supports Hamas group---
IjeBos: And this is from the emoluments clause in the Constitution. Trump at this point is wiping his a$$ with the constitution. He seems to hate America.
---Sean Hannity and his extreme right-wing crew of jesters would have run a 24 hours news headline non-stop if this was either Biden or Obama---it has been crickets in the past 48hours from them as this is about Felon 47---
if you check all the MAGA Propaganda media---none of them are carrying this latest news---
raumdeuter: US reduce tax on China from 145% to 30% China reduce tax on US from 125% to 10%
For a period of 90days
---This is really a non news story---Both sides agreed to reduce the tariffs by 115% for 90 Days---just like other trade deals---it is all in the framework phase---
---This self inflicted wound by Felon 47--- and companies still can't forecast for more than 90 days ahead---Corporate America doesn't work like that---
---The bond market is concerning because the US isn't viewed as a stable trade partner as anything can change on a whim---depending on which side of bed Felon 47 gets up from---Money is flowing out into other markets that are more stable---
---It will take time and effort for other countries to trust the US---
basilico: Heard about the big release by O'Keefe? John Bryan PR and advisor to Prince Andrew reveals that he was a paedo, Epstein's friend and he lied to him. First witness revelation.
This got O'Keefe to go into hiding.
** John Bryan ,an American businessman was having an affair with Sarah Ferguson,photos of them cavorting were published online a number of years ago** ** Virginia Guthrie,Prince Andrew accuser died of suicide last week. She had settled out of court with him .**
But hey your only interest in Epstein is to see Trump implicated,you don't care about the victims or the compromised DOJ and FBI that protects hundreds if not thousands of paedophiles ( Who knows what else - ritual killers, human traffickers, blood drinkers,moloch worshippers ) .
---Pam Bondi is the one covering up the Epstein files for Felon 47---
Love illegal aliens more than Americans. The love Americans is racist.
Love noncitizens more than citizens. The love of citizens is racist.
Love villains more than victims. The love of victims is racist.
---Jesus Christ was also an illegal immigrant when he was taken to Egypt as a toddler to save him from Herod the tyrant---Matthew 2:13-15---some illegal aliens are running away for their lives from oppression in their home countries---
