    They show their priorities again and again.

    Epstein list?

    Trump sending thousands of payments to epstein?

    Nope, gotta shut down government to avoid it.

    Letting trump keep a plane that Saudi’s tricked us into taking cause its more expensive to renovate it than to buy a replacement, but its no big deal cause we’re taking away peoples healthcare to pay for it? Urgent issue. MUST VOTE.

    Give it to the Air Force so they can test out a few missiles on it.

    Preferably with Trump still inside it.

    …this evening.

    It’s a money pit.

    What he should do is SAY he spent the money on the airplane but REALLY put the money in his back pocket.

      No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

      Technically that right there would make it ok if the house passes the same. But my God, if we’re going to use that qualifier to let the president have something from a foreign state did it have to be a fucking 747?

        This vote was against an amendment to a bill that would ban him from keeping it. Not a grant to do so.

          Good to know! Something like this should absolutely be impeachable (I know lots of things should be, but this is one of the most clear IMO) and with a little luck things will change after 2026

          I know, I can dream…

    Well, he’s never going to leave the Oval Office at the end of this term, so the point is kind of moot.

      He might have to leave bcz he doesn’t know who he is. Trust me on this one, dude is barely lucid most days. If he croaks before the end of his term, it’ll be a good day for USA’ians. Even if it doesn’t fix the problem entirely, he’s a shit stain on the human race.

        It’ll be even more unstable with Vance in charge.

          Maybe, Vance doesn’t have control of the MAGA crowd at all. If Trump dies, there’s a good chance the movement dies with him.

        Vance is just a more evil version of trump with more full cognitive ability and bladder control… so…

          Vance doesn’t have the rabid fanbase Trump has. The man has the charisma of a wet paper sack.

          Trump might be able to pull off keeping the Oval Office. Vance will not.

        Reminder that Dick Cheney is still alive. Kissinger also lived to be a 100.

        Evil seems to have a way to sustain certain people far beyond what would seem natural for most others.

        You’re a fucking idiot. Don’t underestimate Vance or the people pulling his strings.

        Trump only cares about himself. Vance actively and passionately hates you.

          I agree with you that there is a significant chance J.D. Vance would do more to harm the US and the World than Trump ever could, you don’t have to be such a jerk about it. Being right doesn’t give you permission to be mean.

          Yeah, uhm, well, im not, so there’s that.

          Even if it doesn’t fix the problem entirely, he’s a shit stain on the human race.

          Second, I never said it would fix the problem… see above and read comments in their entirety before insulting people’s intelligence and telling them how much more dangerous everyone else is. As if I dont know Trump isnt the one calling the shots… 🙄

          Edit: We are all on the same team here. Calling people names and being a dick isnt helping anything.

    Even if the plane itself was “free”, they are voting to make a $1B gift (the cost to retrofit the plane) from tax money to one guy personally?
