Let’s set aside that Pam Bondi used to rake in $115K a month from Qatar, and now says that “flying grift” is totally fine. On its face, this jet makes no sense as Air Force One. Hear me out: There’s supposed to be two identical Air Force One jets…

MAGA thinks Dems upset about the Trump admin suspending the writ of habeas corpus (which is essentially declaring martial law) is a self-own since Lincoln did it during the Civil War. Yes, it was designed for things like a Civil War. Not for judicial decisions you disagree with.
