administration officials "first approached Qatar to inquire about acquiring a Boeing 747 that could be used as Air Force One by President Donald Trump, four sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.
"After Trump took office in January, the Pentagon contacted Boeing and was told the company would not be able to deliver the new jets it was building to replace the aging presidential planes for another two years, the sources said," the report continued. However, administration officials didn't want to have to wait that long, and "At the same time, Trump tasked his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff with finding a list of viable planes, a senior White House official told CNN."
We know that Trump’s account was not true for the simpler reason that it was said by Trump.You may have been led to believe that the government of Qatar simply offered up a 747 for Trump to use as a new Air Force One. Like "OMG Abdul, I had no idea! You're so generous! I'd be stupid to turn down such a wonderful gift!"
Turns out, it was not a random gift.

article said:"These are all white farmers that are being buried," said Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by the picture during a contentious Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Trump's intel apparently is about on par with the average Red Hat voter's internet browser history.In fact, the video, published by Reuters on February 3 and subsequently verified by the news agency's fact check team, showed humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot following deadly battles with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.
The blog post showed to Ramaphosa by Trump during the White House meeting was published by American Thinker, a conservative online magazine, about conflict and racial tensions in South Africa and Congo.
We may or may not qualify as being in a full blown fascist autocracy, but we are certainly right smack in the middle of the biggest, stupidest kakistocracy ever to sully the surface of this planet.Trump's intel apparently is about on par with the average Red Hat voter's internet browser history.
So... Trump held up a photo of white people being buried in South Africa as part of crimes being committed against whites in that nation, while being himself in front of the South African President.

Just another hit piece on an allie based on a lie, just like they did to Elenskyy.So... Trump held up a photo of white people being buried in South Africa as part of crimes being committed against whites in that nation, while being himself in front of the South African President.

I disagree.We may or may not qualify as being in a full blown fascist autocracy, but we are certainly right smack in the middle of the biggest, stupidest kakistocracy ever to sully the surface of this planet.Trump's intel apparently is about on par with the average Red Hat voter's internet browser history.
It has been four months. Give Trump a chance at fucking up worse than Mao.I disagree.We may or may not qualify as being in a full blown fascist autocracy, but we are certainly right smack in the middle of the biggest, stupidest kakistocracy ever to sully the surface of this planet.Trump's intel apparently is about on par with the average Red Hat voter's internet browser history.
It's neither the biggest, nor the stupidest. It's the wealthiest and most dangerous; But Mao's 'Cultural Revolution' was both bigger and (marginally) stupider.
I’ll allow four years and four months, despite not being consecutive. But Mao took ten years before he croaked. If Rump is still in power in six years he will have outdone Mao in almost every respect. The Chairman didn’t even have to contend with democratic institutions; he inherited an authoritarian-acclimated population so there was no pretense or meaningful resistance.It has been four months.

Well, Mao killed maybe thirty million of his own countrymen (after the end of the Civil War, and not counting the Civil War dead), so he was about ten times as deadly to his people as Rump, even after adjusting for population size.I’ll allow four years and four months, despite not being consecutive.

SO FAR, Bilby.Well, Mao killed maybe thirty million of his own countrymen (after the end of the Civil War, and not counting the Civil War dead), so he was about ten times as deadly to his people as Rump, even after adjusting for population size.I’ll allow four years and four months, despite not being consecutive.

Aren't people in the military SUPPOSED to be yes men?The orange mob boss tells graduates of West Point not to be yes men. Of course he only hires yes men (and women) for his government and fires civil servants who are not yes men.
