Report: Trump Aides Putting Together Goodbye Crowd For Outgoing POTUS On Inauguration Day

I bet some get snatched for a bargain by no frills carriers and fitted with up to 1000 seats (although insurers are going to balk at that unless registered in countries that don’t give a shit), others are bought by gulf and far east gazillionaires and converted into lavish flying palaces that put their fellow 0.001%ers to shame, and yet others bought by luxury airlines and charter outfits and fitted with multiple bedrooms for mere multimillionaires to fly in unmolested by having to be in the same airplane as economy class riff raff, or for use as flying casinos and such.

It was only certified to something like 880 passengers. In extreme sardine mode. The problems for any of these applications beside the hyper rich plaything are the same ones that got it in the predicament it’s already in. It costs a huge amount to operate and is incompatible with all but a handful of airports in the world. Any attempt to make one pay off as an investment depends on finding lots of people that want to go from one of the limited number of places to another of the limited number of places at the same time. They’re headed for scrap.

A financial disaster created by European ego. Boeing really goaded them into this one… They are probably still laughing about it, if little else at the moment.

I’m sure you’re right, but I’m guessing that a small number get repurposed for the hyper-rich and luxury travel markets. They could also be converted to luxury vacation homes in the sky for the bored uber-rich set, who might want to travel from destination to destination and park there a while. They might also make good flying command bases and hospitals, although perhaps there are structural issues with that too. But, all told, we’re probably talking no more than several dozen in active service. But I’d hate to see them completely go. Perhaps some can be converted to non-flying hotels or offices and such.

He might be, if Trump grants the pardon he requested.

Jacob Chansley’s St. Louis lawyer, Albert Watkins, is asking Trump to do the “honorable thing and pardon those of his peaceful followers who accepted the president’s invitation,” according to a press release Thursday.

Prosecutors push for 'Q Shaman' Jacob Chansley to remain jailed after Capitol...

I hope that Joe denies the request.

Shit no. That kind of pettiness stops at the White House at noon on Wednesday. We send our lapsed presidents home, whether they deserve it or not, because We deserve proper government, from day 1.

[nymund]

How about involving the US Navy? A nice keelhauling would be a festive and appropriate ending to this sordid shit show presidency!

[kovie]

Not honest, just smart. Not convicting Trump will harm them politically. Between these and a handful of relatively decent ones, 17 might be found.

@Scoutmom

So, let me try to follow this. Trump had nothing to do with inciting them and they were all Antifa in some kind of false flag op. Except they are all proudly claiming far right credentials and claiming they did it because, well, Trump incited them to. Did I follow this correctly?

[jjwhack]

How about a chorus of sad trombones?

[Scoutmom]

Almost. The rioters who stormed the castle said they did it because Trump told/invited them. It’s the Republicans who say “uh uh, no way, he didn’t do that”. But put the two groups together - you nailed it!

@zillacop

But, I’d be happy to loan you $$$'s for your bus trip. I really hope Biden can figure an elegant way to tell him to shove it.

Nah! Joe’s nicer than that. He’ll spot Trump a few of the Amtrak rewards he’s accumulated over the years.

I don’t think he qualifies.

[chasfy]

I think you mean Pence.

“Sorry, Donald, can’t help you with that. I can call you an Uber if you’d like?”

OT–Nordstrom has announced that it will no longer carry Ivanka’s shitty clothing and shoes.

Damn… that means the fast track she got for the 2021 line

[timorwig]

Twenty-nine percent approve?
Arrest the motherfuckers.

@agnesbee

Oh yeah … I my beloved Chicago … but the corporate move here was the beginning of the end.

The rot started with the McDonnell Douglas merger, or as the Boeing old-timers put it, when “McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing’s money.”

My second retirement was basically because an OG Silicon Valley Tech firm of around 3K employees was bought out by a top 5 multinational tech corp. When it got to the point where I had a spread sheet log to account for every minute of my day. How do you document the time spend pondering a solution to an engineering problem?

@kovie

then move in–after it’s all been fumigated and de-Trumpified.

And the permanent staff have finished the post-Donnie inventory…

[Anarchy_Bunker]

One of the ‘bright sides’ to this is all the video documentation the rioting mob provides for inventory purposes.
