So many people are freaking out because Qatar Force One lacks all the defensive countermeasures found

in previous models. I have no such concerns.

1. 'Get it, but I do feel for the poor crew, pilots, (and "some" of the media--wink)

[OGBuzz]

7. I was thinking that everyone on board would be vetted and deemed hard core MAGA cult, just like his secret

service protection, but I hear you about the media, there might be some of ours on board and that would be tragic.

2. The fools who served subpoenas on the NYT journalists

and their bosses are freaking out the most.

8. You may have just given Trump an idea for a very expensive, fully taxpayer paid upgrade.🤣

6. Who gives a fuck? No president I like is ever gonna ride in that thing.

I guess I’d feel kinda bad for the press corps and the crew. But the rest of ‘em? FUCK ‘em.

9. Trump administration subpoenas New York Times journalists who reported security concerns around new Air Force One

trump's feelings were hurt when NO ONE bought his lame story as to why he flew back in the older Air Force One. trump was told that it would take years to get the Qatari grift plane ready but did not want to wait.

Four New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns surrounding a Qatari-gifted jet serving as the new Air Force One have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department, the news outlet reported early Saturday.....

The subpoenas suggest the Trump administration is trying to find out who leaked to The Times before the news organization reported this week that President Donald Trump left a NATO summit in Turkey on the old Air Force One over security concerns from the Secret Service.

The orders for the journalists to testify came after FBI Director Kash Patel met with officials at the White House on Friday to discuss the bureau’s investigation into disclosures about security concerns with the new plane, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.....

Sources told CNN that Trump has been fuming at the reports of security concerns surrounding the $400 million gift from Qatar, and was embarrassed and angry in recent days when it became public that the plane was not equipped enough to be flown directly from Turkey back home......

But CNN reported Thursday that security personnel felt more comfortable with the president aboard the older Air Force One — which was built from scratch with presidential safety in mind — rather than the plane that had recently been retrofitted after it was donated by Qatar.

Trump then switched planes at a secure US airbase in the UK. He downplayed the idea security was the reason for the switch, though sources have told CNN and other outlets that it was.

Surprised you hadn’t heard. Maybe RT or that neocon think-tank you frequently cite will post something about it soon on their blog. 🤷‍♂️
