Because they don't think there will be elections going forward.

You’re embarrassing

In answer to your question, my party's senior leadership is incompetent. Chuck Schumer needs to be replaced. Promote someone with energy, a personality and who is not 70+ years old.

I’ll never vote for trash

Guilty conscience. Adam other traditional Rs helped create MAGA with the nonstop vilification of the “liberal agenda” and “D’s are destroying America. Now they want to point their fingers and say, once again, Ds are doing it wrong. How about he apologizes on national tv and admits he’s culpable.

We have a party

I’m a 72 year old Vietnam veteran… I’ll do my best to fight fascism, I never thought I’d be fighting fascism in my own front yard…

Who???

Why not lecture your own party instead of chastising Democrats?

Because this has been in the works for decades thanks to the Nazis @heritagefoundatuon @federalistsociety and @foxnooz. We won’t be voting again. And until Dems wake up and realize that we will continue to fail as a democracy. Fight. Attack. Speak. Keep attacking.

😂😂😂 You wish

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Gotta GO!

Thank you for listening….. so many people missed this bit!!!!

MAGAs say there won't be a quid pro quo. Really, MAGA? If your wife goes on an expensive all paid vacation to an exotic island resort with a stud, and tells you nothing will happen, perhaps true. Perhaps not. Will you be sure she won't be tempted by the stud while on the island, or after return?

So why the hell wouldn’t we keep it for the next administration to use (maybe not as the presidential plane, but if we pay for the retrofit, we should get to keep it)?

He ha ripped us off again!

Trump doesn’t give a shit about what’s right or wrong. He’s here to grift this country for all it’s worth and his Dipshit supporters lap it up.

Why is it that every time a Republican or ex Republican has an issue with the Trump regime they instinctively blame Democrats for not doing enough?

It would really be a shame if it seriously malfunctioned while in the air for some unknown reason. 😁

It would be interesting if this were a Trojan plane. A 747 has 140 miles of wiring in it. Trump could be flying over the Atlantic when he gets a call from the Emir saying, “Hey Donald, this plane is going down unless you do XYZ.” You know, like Mossad pagers.

Ok 👍🏼. That makes much more sense!

Clearly the law doesn’t apply to him!

Bet he’s glad Biden pardoned him now. The lies told by the J6 Committee are now coming to light. Great to have that Get Out of Jail Free card after perjuring yourself in front of the entire country. I wonder what hole you’d be hiding n today without Biden’s help.

Yes! Unfortunately, the GOP is coming all the way down with Trump and is as corrupt as he is! This warning should apply to everyone who is helping this corrupt government.

I’m with you. As a lifelong Dem, I’m almost as angry with them (a few exceptions) as I am with MAGA ‘republicans’.

Trojan Horse

Your points are spot on but Democrats are weak. And we have very weak leaders in Schumer and Jeffries.

This is exactly why I won’t ever ever vote for another Republican again. The lack of courage to speak out against what any pragmatic, Constitution-loving citizen is beyond comprehension and I hope that every single one of them is voted out…. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice deserve that. 😞

Once he’s out of office, can we repossess it?

GriftForceOne: It won't fly until after 2028, will never be used for a president, will cost taxpayers $1 BILLION, and THEN will be gifted to Trump. bsky.app/profile/that...

Because the Dems are a bunch of Surrender Donkeys.

Not to mention the millions which will have to be sunk into inspection and retrofitting.

Colonel. Stop talking. Stand to.

💯

Exactly. And it would COST a fortune to de-bug the Qatari plane.

Point!

I guess the smart money, including the folk who gift palaces in the sky, place very long odds on the Dems ever resuming United States Government.

If he assigns this as Air Force One, it then belongs to the US Air Force and not him. The current Air Force One is 40+ years old. They need a new one. Trump originally ordered a new one, but Biden honestly was not in touch with today's technology. Now we get a free one but will need upgrades.

LARDASS says it goes to his library after he's POTUS. The most amazing thing about this story is that there's going to be a TRUMP LIBRARY.

Why aren’t Republicans outraged? Zero integrity or moral compass.

It saves money because the secret service has to scour it for bugs and that will take longer than it takes Trump to finish his term, so money gets saved not having airforce one be operational.

Don't mean to sound naive, but me being a layman, how do we force congress to make that vote just by calling?

No bribery here…

....... the jet will still require service = American Taxpayer, the jet will require engine parts American Taxpayer, etc. etc. etc.... if it belongs to donnie, then let donnie pay for it.

Dems need to standup and rebuke this crap.

The majority of Democrats are along for the ride. They don't mind being the enemy of MAGA as long as they're safe and getting in on the corporate cash. The fact that Maga hates all Dems pretty much equally seems to escape them

how about Republicans standing up to the traitor?

If oversight can't see this as blatant corruption , i begged to ask what's the point of oversight when IGs , the very folks who were suppose to sound the bullhorn all got fired ? This cannot be normal ,it is dangerously absurd

Ole fart pimped the country and got himself a jet plane And everybody expect this to be normal ethical standard for public office holders ...this is seriously legitly fcked

🎯💯

Just keeps getting deeper

Good God Almighty.

She was also the poster girl in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize winning article about state attorneys being on the take. Trump knows she is corrupt because Trump himself bribed her over Trump University case. www.pulitzer.org/files/2015/i...

The plane will cost Americans money because it’s another thing we will have to maintain

Why is no one talking about the enormous security risk of getting a new presidential plane from a foreign power who works with our enemies? Planes are stuffed with electronic equipment. Both Putin and Xi will have direct lines to all communications, plus a red button each for blowing up that idiot

Rather unconstitutional.

It’s illegal!! Period.

We the people are going to have to do something because no one is coming to help us.

Unbelievable

Im so disappointed by the Dems. Why don't you, Liz, Steve Schmidt, Joe Walsh, Pete E., AOC, & Jasmine all form a new Freedom Party & invite us in? I would join as a former Dem!!

It will cost millions to retrofit, conform to security, safety and performance standards and sweep of all surveillance bugs. It’s definitely not free and will cost money. Probably made with Russian and Chinese parts. Better come with parachutes.

Democrats, why aren't you sentient vertebrates?

And think about the taxpayer money to upgrade it and then to staff with Secret Service staff when he or his kids use it after he is no longer in office.

The fundamental issue underlying everything is the FUTURE OF OUR CONSTITUTION. Pocket versions are just props for R-Congress. They obviously trashed their ALLEGIANCE. They no longer serve THE PEOPLE. They are hypocritical liars & are wasting space. If we ever have another election…

Why are you just calling out the Dems? Call out your own party FIRST!

Please explain how Trump gets to keep the plane. All gifts are supposed to become the property of the United States. This stinks to high heaven.

Even the time and cost of the retrofit will be astronomical............ He's such an idiot.

What Kinzinger said.

BC DEMS ARE COMPLICIT. No other logical conclusion.

True but we dont even have to get that far. The constitution says no "benefit" from a foreign government. Flying in a 400 million dollar "flying palace" instead of the current plane, is a "benefit" from a foreign government.

Dems saw a criminal, did absolutely nothing except Tweet about how bad he was and hoped he would go away. Literally told him “welcome back” to the White House and now sit back hoping his approval rating tanks so they can do something. Hating Trump shouldn’t make you forget Dems are toothless

Well, why don't you become a Democrat and do it?

Ah yes, the classic “grift” - I mean, gift - that just keeps on giving… mostly to him. I guess “America First“ really meant “Me First“ all along. At least the jet will get plenty of mileage flying over accountability.

Need much more aggressive approach by Dems. Should keep track of all the crimes and keep promising people that justice will catch up to them.

Heard it’s 13 years old. Laughing stock of the world

Society is a mutual agreement. I believe this CONSTITUTIONALCRISIS is a REPUBLICAN thing, mostly. But, elements of this meltdown are evident everywhere—beginning with KNOWLEDGE OF AMERICAN CIVICS & OWNING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Values & character are losing to screen time & dreams of celebrity.

Something should have been done from the start. But, this gift is so in our face corruption that we atleast have to speak up. Many of his supporters don't understand why he isn't allowed to accept this gift. A U.S. President should never be beholden to a foreign country to this extent.

The US already has TWO NEW Air Force One jets ordered and UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Qatari jet must be rebuilt. It will COST US MILLIONS and won't be ready while he's in office.

Tax payers are footing the bill to retrofit it and maintain it and he gets to keep it. Yes, it’s corruption. His cult does not care.

Good point!

Run for president!

This is so clear cut against the Constitution if it is allowed I think I will just give up the fight. I just can't spend any more weekends standing and yelling at protests that don't seem to be stopping anything. I'm too old for this shit!

Equalize the punishment

Sounds great! He would be out of our hair!

Eleventy one years

So, he’s asking the American taxpayers to maintain the maintenance on this plane while he uses it for government (personal), use. Every republican that sat on their hands and did nothing should have their faces on wanted posters. WANTED TO BE VOTED OUT.

We already know that no article of the Constitution, no statute and no legal nicety will prevent Trump from being sent to prison. Because those are the rules he set…

It isn’t just the plane, it’s his whole approach to being president and using the office to further his own wealth. Look at the new Qatari golf course Trump’s building: $5.5 billion dollars to Trump NOT the U.S. who he represents.

Not only will tRump keep it, he’ll make taxpayers pay to maintain and operate it, mostly to travel between his golf courses.

Including NPR

You’re behaving as if these are normal times and laws are still being followed. The absolute corruption within the regime means there won’t be any midterms. They would all go to jail if there were midterms. See the plot?

What Democrats?

You think the Democrats will do something about this? Like in 2021?

Unless something changes, I really don't see Dems being in charge any time soon. Both of our parties are currently ridiculous in different ways. Both conservatives and liberals seem to be in hiding while nonsense of different sorts fight each other.

Will there be this point?

<ahem>Trojan Horse anyone<cough>

I was a federal bank examiner a long time ago. Couldn't even accept lunch. I can't imagine accepting a brand new Mercedes car from a bank that I examined to drive around in to my job sites. And, after I left federal office, I could keep the car! Wow, darn, what a missed opportunity!

Unfortunately, nothing will happen, the gift of the plane will happen, dems will yell & scream, but POS trump will win again & this country lets him! Idiot America!!

By Democrats, it is important to be clear about who exactly is supposed to make this call. Call out Dem leaders NOW. Because the buck doesn't stop with the foot soldiers who are batting for their constituents.

And I'm guessing that plane will cost us in redesigning and updating it so it's ready when he takes it home.

According to reports, it goes to his library not to him. Regardless, how much would it cost taxpayers to have it debugged and fitted with what is needed on Air Force One??!!

Team trump is like dealing with the worse Used Car Salesman you ever bought a clunker from ......................

It's ok. Qatar loves to give away planes.

I thought the same thing was said where he could when he was out of office. What a crock

Dems need to scream and yell about needing a debate on this, terribly illegal gift!!!

Well, duh. I'm pretty sure that there won't be any Democrats running against him or his spawn if we don't do something soon.

The GQP saw how Merrick Garland operated, and they went full speed ahead after getting back in power. That's why. They saw corporate democrats are spineless bootlicking suckasses.

The current Democratic Party makes MAGA MENTALITY appear stunningly attractive. WAKE THE FVCK UP DNC. Stop being the ugly friend at the club.
