Hillary and Her Private Jet - From January 2017

[MineralMan]

Presidents have to travel - a lot. It comes with the territory of being the Chief Executive of the most powerful nation on Earth. While she's been flying around on charter jets during the campaign, next year, she'll have a private jet to beat all private jets at her disposal:



Our Presidents deserve the best, I think. So much depends on them.

[JonLeibowitz]

1. No I think it's a public jet, provided by We the People should we be forced to nominate her.

[MineralMan]

2. Well, she doesn't own the jets she's flying on now, either.

Air Force One is for the use of the President of the United States or as directed by the POTUS. It's a distinction too fine to be noticed, I think.

19. Jon, no one's forcing you to do anything.

Your vote is your own.

[leftofcool]

35. Guess what? "We the people" have nominated her.

[immoderate]

3. She gets a jet -- we get the bill!

American exceptionalism.

7. It comes with the job. It's an office, too.

We pay to have a President. That's not inexpensive, but it's necessary. Every bit of it.

[immoderate]

20. The job is to represent people, not corporations.

That jet comes with a phalanx of corporate lobbyists. They get the rides.

22. Is that so?

I have no idea about passenger lists on AF1. So, I couldn't say who flies on the plane. Do you have any passenger manifests that demonstrate your claim?

[immoderate]

25. Who would be on that plane that represents my interests?

6. Nice layout. Everything a President needs

wherever she's going. Thanks!

5. Now your just trolling, like the very people you object to regarding her home in NY.

Nothing says colonial imperialism like mountain engravings on stolen American Indian land.

8. Noted and disagreed with. eom

[TCJ70]

9. Hey, gotta drop the bombs from something...

...I guess.

[MineralMan]

10. Nope. It's not equipped for that use.

It does have defensive armaments and countermeasures, though. They're necessary, unfortunately. Presidents are sometimes unpopular in some circles.

[msongs]

11. drop the bombs is why bernie spends billions on the MIC every year nt

[Andy823]

32. Yep

Billions on a plane that don't work, but Berne refuses to put it on his list of "wasteful military spending cuts" he says he implement if elected. And he says it's "to late" to do anything about it, yet if they ended the project it wold save Billions more instead of wasting it on something that will never do what it was supposed to do.

But then it's OK when Bernie is the one wasting Billions!

12. I thought you were a decent person. But your mocking is too much.

Bob-bye Full ignore

[aikoaiko]

13. The house, the plane. Do the car next? Please continue the passive aggressive poking.

Its how we know you're still you when MM posts.

[MineralMan]

14. Nah, the car's boring. Just another armored limo.

[aikoaiko]

15. You'll think of something.

[MineralMan]

16. Well, I'm always thinking...

So, I'm sure I'll be posting again soon. Thanks for reading my posts.

[aikoaiko]

17. It is what it is.

[yallerdawg]

18. Great picture, MM!

Even better sentiment!!!

[kstewart33]

21. Wow. That's a beautiful picture.

Thanks for posting.

[MineralMan]

23. It's from the wikipedia page on Air Force One.

I don't know when it was taken, but it's an interesting juxtaposition, isn't it?

[kstewart33]

24. It truly is.

At first I was so fixated on the plane and foliage that I didn't see the presidents. That makes a huge difference.

26. K&R

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. That's not a private jet; it's a public jet.

It's owned and operated by the Air Force, meaning by us taxpayers. And you might want to lay off the passive-aggressive gloating. We all know that presidents get to meet world leaders, live in a big fancy house and get driven around in a big fancy car and ride in a 747, and Hillary will get to do these things and Bernie won't, ha ha, nyah nyah, suck on that, BernieBros. Are you going to show us a White House bathroom next?

[MineralMan]

28. No photos of WH bathrooms, but

here's an article about the gender-neutral restroom there:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. And isn't it totally awesome

that if she wants, Hillary her own awesome self will be able to pee in that very bathroom?

[MineralMan]

30. Well, I think that bathroom is for guests and visitors at the

White House. The President and family have private facilities for their own use. I doubt that they use the public restrooms.

She could, of course, if she needed to, but I imagine she will almost always use one of the private ones.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. The important thing is that Hillary will be able to pee in a White House bathroom again. Yay.

Maybe Bernie can use that little gender-neutral public loo if he visits, though. We Bernie Bros can take comfort in that.

[Logical]

33. FFS, are you getting desperate. Why post this stuff? Nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. Just to remind us that Hillary will get to ride

in the big, taxpayer-supported jet and Bernie won't, neener neener.

[Beacool]

36. That's a nice ride.

Several presidents have said that the one thing they missed most about being president was Air Force One.
