Chris Murphy on bluesky is laying it out there about the Qatar plane

[senseandsensibility]

You (taxpayers) paid for a plane with a "level of luxury that nobody has ever seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House. The plane. The ballroom. The corruption. This guy thinks taxpayers are dopes. Your money is just his to live a life of luxury.

Way to go on offense, Sen. Murphy!

[Lovie777]

1. Yep.............

[a kennedy]

2. Oh, and have I said, I FAWKING HATE THIS ORANGE PIECE OF SHIT AND HIS GAWD DAMN ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

14. Trump really puts the POS in POTUS.

POTUS[

[Attilatheblond]

3. Meanwhile, RW talkers are acting like the Obama Center is some taxpayer funded vanity project for former POTUS

Has anyone heard any of those clowns say the center was built ENTIRELY from private donations to the Obama Foundation?

[Deuxcents]

5. Next they'll say..yeah, but he has an airplane and Obama doesn't. USA! USA!

[NoMoreRepugs]

4. VonSchitzInPants level of need to have more or better than anyone else is unlike anything I've seen in my 76+years.

[Katcat]

11. For me, it's the bragging

About himself. He’s pathetically needy

[Cairycat]

6. I don't think he actually ever plans on leaving the White House

except maybe in a coffin ... he probably thinks he can beat that too.

[RockCreek]

7. What happens to the plane (and our $1 billion) if he dies while in office?

Orexx may want to know, too

[BattleRow]

21. Use the plane as a coffin.In a plane,departing for another "plane."

[ToxMarz]

8. I keep hearing he's taking it with him, but how does that work. Congress must be able to have some oversight of that.

No doubt if Congress is in total Rupuke control they would rubber stamp it, but if it flips in the midterms I would imagine they could put the brakes on that. Otherwise could he just take the Presidential limo and keep Camp David too. Hell he could transfer the deed of the White House. There must be some limits.

[KT2000]

9. I believe he wants to

put it in his library. There is no way he could afford to fly that thing as a private citizen. To do that, his family will tie it up in the courts for years.

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself.

And you paid for it. The total cost could be billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.

12. On taking the plane

Why can't someone just say, as you do to a child, "No, you can't have that".

[progressoid]

13. Well, that would take a courage by anyone in our supposed "checks and balances."

[LymphocyteLover]

15. Dems need to pound the fuck out of this corruption shit!

[themaguffin]

16. There is no end to the corruption or enabling of it by the gop

[in2herbs]

17. If he leaves office intending to take the plane why can't Congress say "No" and seize the plane

based on the fact that Presidents are not allowed to take gifts, especially from foreign countries?

Just say "NO!"

[YoshidaYui]

18. Toranpu wa dorobō da.

トランプは泥棒だ。 TRUMP IS A THEIF

[luv2fly]

19. If he takes the plane and more...

... and the folks we elected to represent us don't stop him, then sadly, we ARE dopes.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

20. Trump's Allah Force One, complete with prayer rugs.

[brachism]

22. Trump is living on extra minutes...

Trump now is 80 and despite the spin and denials, his physical and mental decline is increasingly apparent. He knows his time is limited and seems focused on enjoying it, regardless of the consequences. He’s surrounded by cowards and sycophants, while the systems meant to hold power in check are failing. The media, too, is falling short. As a result, our country and our democracy feel closer than ever to a worst-case scenario.
