    Accepting a statue is not the same at all as accepting a 747 jet.

      President Cleveland can only equally enjoy the Statue of Liberty as much as anyone else. Trump would enjoy that plane infinitely more than the rest of us.

        If the plane crashes and takes Trump with it, the rest of us would enjoy it infinitely more.

            There is literally zero chance that the bribe plane will be considered secure enough for the president before 2030, which makes Trump saying he would keep it after leaving office a confession that it is a personal bribe.

          I was trying to say sarcastically Grover cleavlabd makes money from the people who visit the statue of Liberty. But rereading my comment I’m not sure if I had a stroke or something because it makes no sense.

      He said not long ago that they were looking at it as a feature because it consistently kept correcting him and calling him out lol. It was one of his (many) dumb ass tweets where he just said “investigating” or “looking into this” or some crap. I would not be surprised at all if it’s changed or removed very shortly.

          My dumb trick for checking, in case it helps another: T(here and there), which also helps with here and hear.

          English is dumb, and after writing this out and spelling it several times, needing to correct the autocorrect… it all looks wrong now, and I am questioning my spelling abilities entirely.

    Though if a congressional vote was held on the Qatari golden airliner, it’d pass along party lines, as no Republicans want to incur the wrath of the King. A few may hem and haw and express how troubled they are by the, ahem, highly irregular nature of this deal, but would ultimately wave it through. (Bonus: a handful of Democrats may vote to approve, out of an instinctual desire to reach across the aisle and build bridges or whatever.)

      TBH, from a political standpoint, if this went through all the regular channels and procedures then I would at least be supportive of dropping the tariffs on SA. It’s nice to have a middle eastern nation still willing to oppose Russia after all of this.

    Ann Coulter is an odd bird. She seems to be running interference for Trump on this one. Sometimes she’s not afraid to buck Trumpism. I know she’s awful, but if she could pick a lane, I’d appreciate it.

      I am also pretty sure Grover Cleveland didn’t refer to France as “historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level” less than 10 years before accepting the gift from them.

      not so fun fact: Ann Coulter wanted to sleep with my dad when he was in college, and once invited him to her house for the weekend, but he turned her down. I thank my lucky stars everyday that Ann Coulter isn’t my mom.

      A lot of these “grifters” or “commentators” and stuff aren’t really there to interpret news and stuff. They’re there to tell certain groups of people what to think.

      Like pass talking points to them or assuage their doubts about what’s really happening to them. Accuracy and stuff is an afterthought because they only need to worry about the next news cycle which used to be months but is now days.
