Okay, that violated the 5-click Xtreme danger rule.
That’s cute. They’re trying to re-create this picture. -

Eta: no offense @iiandyiiii
I read the article and it doesn’t sound like it’s only about allowing non-lawyers to perform simple legal jobs.
I only gave the article a quick read, but it also sounds like they are allowing law firms to offer partnerships or partnership interest to individuals that aren’t lawyers.
For example, it would allow a law firm to offer a partnership interest to an accountant, and maybe offer accounting services to companies they currently lawyer for.
Or that’s how I read it, anyway.
AWWWWWW!!! The CFSG* has never been that cute, not even in his dreams.

I didn’t say it was the dumbest thing they have ever done. I said it was the latest stupid thing they did.
Not so. And typically up to five identical helicopters travel together for safety and deception.
The Executive Flight Detachment is the only Marine Corps unit to operate these Sikorsky aircraft. The VH-3D is capable of transporting 14 passengers while the VH-60N seats 11. Both helicopters require a pilot, copilot, and crew chief, and the VH-60N’s crew also includes a communications systems operator.
They’re also much slower than the jet.
If he took the helicopter, he’d be home by the time the same helicopters took him to Andrews, got one of the jets warmed up, loaded other helicopters on C-17s, jetted to Delaware, unloaded the helicopters, unfolded the rotor blades, did all the preflight checks or unloaded a dozen armored limousines, got everyone in the cars and drove to his home. It’s just 111 miles, 45 minutes by helicopter.
And don’t they set up a semi-permanent secure communications facility wherever the current president lives? I think they set this up at Mar-A-Lago and at Trump Tower.
I’m not criticizing Biden but the amount of hoopla involved in the POTUS (any POTUS) going anywhere is ridiculous and a distance of less than two hours travel by car should not require gassing up a large plane.
When he was in the Senate, he commuted by train every day from Delaware. He could do that.
The Presidential Limousine is one seriously beefed-up mochine. If he’s going to take the train, they’d have to beef up a car (or several) similarly just for him.
That’s not necessarily a bad idea. It’s several interesting ideas that have potential to go really really bad if executed poorly, but could have some very positive outcomes if implemented well.
It may be worth noting that Air Force One is not a plane, it is a designation. If Joe the President hopped on a Gulfstream or Piper Cherokee to fly to Wilmington, it would be called Angel One because it had the prez on it. A Cherokee, maybe not so much, what with the dark-sunglasses-detachment that has to troop around with him, but a small jet would work. Or maybe an Osprey. That would be freaking awesome. It would take off as Marine One, fly as Air Force One and set down on his back lawn as Marine One again. And those things are darn roomy inside. Almost as capacious as a Chinook.
I doubt that Marine One would be re-designated as Air Force One. As the names indicate, the Marines fly Marine One while the Air Force flies Air Force One. Unless they switch crews mid-flight.
Does the USAF even have any Ospreys? I thought was a Marine thing only.
My favorite part was when Gohmert complaining about how people were “making up the rules as they go.”
Gohmert has been in Congress since 2005 and apparently in all that time nobody has explained to him what it is that Congress does.
There are USAF, USMC and USN versions. The Air Force version has higher fuel capacity.
Amtrak One.
Quick; get a script together! We can get financing for this! I see Samuel Jackson as the POTUS! The cameo with all the snakes will be box office gold (as long as we keep it out of the trailer)!
