As a proud Coloradoan, I’m happy and sad about this. Happy that she may get her just desserts. Sad that she was allowed to go as far as she did.
Let’s see, GOP scheming has sent over 1400 people to prison. Over a hundred hospitalized on Jan 6. People died. Families destroyed. Livelihoods ruined. Children left behind.
For what? A narcissist that does not give one shit about anyone.
I’m sorry though, I’m preaching to the choir.
NY will, I hope, do their job and give the finger to the corrupt SCOTUS.
The family of Isaac Hayes has sued Trump for $3 million, removal of all videos containing Hold On, I’m Coming, and 134 counts of copyright infringement.
Huh. I didn’t even notice how odd that construction was, probably because I was giving myself a headache trying to parse the bit about information being “made public at a conspiratorial event.”
They’ll never see a penny, and can join the line of people who want a piece of Trump. I almost don’t care about stories about Trump getting in legal trouble, because I don’t believe he’ll ever face real consequences.
American Airlines once sent me Boston to Paris on a 757. And this was some time around 2011. Worst transatlantic flight I’ve ever had. It felt like being in a 737 for seven hours.
I don’t care one way or the other that the plane they chartered had once been owned by Epstein. But I get a certain amount of Schadenfreude out of the fact that Trump’s own massive old rust bucket is once again bust, first leaving him stranded in Billings, Montana after an emergency landing and then forcing him to charter other jets to get to other events.
I ran across the following video, which is a brief (3:30) tour of Trump’s aircraft. The video is 12 years old, but I’m sure things haven’t changed much:
Note especially the gold-plated seatbelts and bathroom fixtures. The wood-panelled walls in the guest bedroom, and the silk wall covering in Trump’s bedroom. The 57" TV in the lounge. The Trump family crest in the upholstery. Must have cost a fortune.
But no mention is made, however, on how much is spent on maintenance, and how often that is necessary, even for routine stuff.
Trumpery: Something showy but worthless, nonsense, rubbish.
Aircraft are very strictly required to be maintained by Federal law. But there are many instances of counterfeit parts being used, records falsified or not created in the first place (Boeing plug door, for the latter), and just plain ‘deferral’ of ‘optional’ maintenance. It would not surprise me in the slightest to find out that mandatory maintenance/repairs on Trump’s 757 has not been carried out.
I imagine it’s all Part 91 operations so " AC 43-13-1b FTW*!"
Anything goes indeed. I didn’t watch the video (urk) but from the screenshot alone I’ve seen uglier planes. “Gold” plating is less objectionable to me than the freaking rose-gold a particular client of mine favours.
Smoked satin nickel for me, please (why yes, I have spec’d out my imaginary business jet!)
I have doubts about how much a lifelong conman and 34-count convicted felon cares about federal law. It’s a virtual certainty that the orange shitgibbon who is also a notorious skinflint isn’t maintaining this ancient rust bucket according to appropriate standards.
