    WTF does she need a jet for. Have you seen her lately? You could tie this bitch to a kite and send her up 20K feet in a matter of minutes.

      Didnt she just piss off airport employees by trying to make them air propaganda demonizing the Democrats and insulting themselves? Maybe she’s not having a fun time flying right now…

    Why not use that piece of shit plane Qatar gave Trump?

      A) Qatar had been trying to offload that plane for several years, so it needs maintenance work.

      B) The plane sat under foreign control for a while after the transfer was announced, so every vital part of the plane needs to be checked for potential sabotage.

      C) Qatar (and possibly other countries) have undoubtedly bugged every inch of that plane, so everything needs to be gone over with a comb, to find bugs.

      D) It doesn’t have enough gold.

      All of which means they have to disassemble and then reassemble the plane before they allow it into service, which is going to take quite a while and a lot of money.

      But it was a great deal for Qatar! They got to offload a plane they’d been trying to get rid of, they avoided the sanctions list, and they get training on US fighter jets and a base in the US.

    Fuck off. The dog and goat killer doesn’t deserve jets. She deserves to rot in the ground.

    The irony is this makes her less safe. Flying without any civilian shields in a small probably single engine jet. No one has to do anything, she’ll hire the most racist air force drum out as a pilot, talk shit on the maintenance staff and listen to freebird.

    Sounds really cool. She can have a foot on each jet and ride them like Dr Strangelove and the missile.
