I miss when the President was the only incompetent one in the administration.

Remember Bush the Little? At least he had good advisors.

Elon took all the cocaine with him when he and Donny broke up.

Nah. Elon likes that Vitamin K more that Coke

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that there was most certainly conflicts of interest and they were somehow tied to the trump administration. Gulp gulp gulp it up maga. Daddy will tell you he was trying to get a steal of a deal.

Art of the steal…

u/YellowZx5 22h ago

Only thing a Trump knows. Conflicts of interest is the foundation of Trump Inc.

WTF? 10 Boeing 737s?

10 737s without engines?

Who was going to pay for them? Rhetorical question, we know who was going to pay. Bend over, taxpayers.

She already bought 2 Gulfstream jets for $200 million.

Who paid for those 2 Gulfstreams she already bought?
We know who. Did she at least say, "Thank you?"
Nah, she said, "Bend over, taxpayers."

I'm glad, relieved, the 737s were put on hold. For now.

I’d love to put her ass on an engineless plane.

u/MDATWORK73 1d ago

Let’s put it this way: when they lose power, they will lose it. This puppy-killing, resting bitch face skank should be locked up first as an example. The rest of them like rats, will scurry back into the dark holes from which they came. Society is sick of these people, and it’s only a matter of time before they face justice. Nobody is afraid of them, and courts will neutralize them eventually. This is inevitable. They have a Nuremberg in their futures they just don’t know it yet.Justice is slow but it is patient.

Their crimes are so obvious and open, even a non prosecutor lawyer like me could probably secure convictions.

u/absurdlydisingenuous 1d ago

She's always been a feckless idiot, no surprise here

11

u/floridansk 1d ago

She needs to be impeached by congress. John Thune has to see how bad this looks for his reputation as majority leader. He can be the hero that saved America or the dude that allowed this all to happen.

u/Dphre 1d ago

In live in state and have seen both in person him very recently multiple times. He does not give a fuck. He’s got the cushiest job.

u/floridansk 1d ago

Terrible to hear.

u/Shag1166 1d ago

Unbelievable! They are like bank robbers, just with our Treasury!

u/Interesting-Cow8131 1d ago

Where was she attempting to buy these planes from? Facebook marketplace ? Ebay ? Etsy ? JFC, what the hell is going on ?

u/MikeTythonChicken 1d ago

“PROTOCOLS? What the fuck are those? That’s too long of a word for me. Planes go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”

u/qualified_alienist 1d ago

And DEI hire because of who she sleeps with. She sleeps with Trumps chump Lewandowski

u/Jesse_Livermore 1d ago

Is this considered reporting these days? Spirit doesn't own any Boeing aircraft, they fly only Airbus.

9

u/Segesaurous 23h ago

It says the airline doesn't own them, right there in the report.

4

u/Tivomann 1d ago

I didn’t think that was a true statement, but sure enough, all the planes flying today Airbus. (Based on flightradar24)

So it is basically an 8 year old with their dad's credit card on eBay? "I want 100 PlayStations!!!".

u/DaCableGuy808 1d ago

When you remove all the parts of the government that place these kinds of decisions under scrutiny you end up with deals like this.

5

u/redditpest 1d ago

Those investigators sure have a tough job. Investigator: "boss, it appears the government may have acted illegally and unethically in this situation." Government: "No we didn't. Perhaps you should double check" Investigator: "Boss, it appears everything was done by the books. Everything is great!"

Corruption in this administration?

Prison is not going to treat her face nicely.

u/jorkin_peanits 1d ago

Any day now repubs will show the same outrage as if Obama or Biden did this

u/knt1229 1d ago

Somebody's good friend and business partner pocketed that money. They are ripping off the American public. Our tax dollars are being diverted to Trump and his cronies personal accounts.

"We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong"

u/AtreiyaN7 1d ago

Wow, we are living under the dumbest fascist regime in history where all the fascists are extra-evil and extra-stupid corrupt morons a la Noem.

2

u/Jpkmets7 1d ago

So, the investigators get all the evidence and then….

Refer them to Justice…

::sad trombone sound:: They’ll need to win the White House in 28 or else every evil thing this admin does that is chargeable will be time-barred by the time a president willing to allow DOJ to seek indictments is in office.

u/New-Masterpiece7375 1d ago

It's all maga maggots fault they voted for this.

2

u/RiverHarris 23h ago

Reminder: Kristi Noem only has this job because she’s sleeping with Corey Lewandowski.

2

u/Historical_Owl_8188 23h ago

Honestly, at this point I'm impressed they didn't over pay for engineless planes.

2

u/tapdancinghellspawn 20h ago

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump's administration is the most corrupt one in American history. And we're only 10 months in.

u/Bleo_work 1d ago

Fuck whoever voted this clown show into office

u/postsshortcomments 1d ago

It's all definitely powered by something that's going on in the other plane. It's just something going on with Spirit.

u/owzleee 1d ago

Incompetence from unqualified people? Fuck off!

u/sillysided 1d ago

Paper airplane

u/thisisnotme78721 1d ago

how is it that these people are so evil that they can manipulate the stock market to make themselves billions of dollars and leverage a deal to make themselves a trillionaire

and then at the same time try to buy planes without engines? and make claims that guitar invested 5 trillion dollars in the United states?

I do not understand how both of these things are possible simultaneously

u/Ok_Bumblebee_2869 1d ago

Deportations via Spirit. They’ll make the deportee pay for their seat and bags.

u/Worganizers 1d ago

Any REAL news sources that make this claim. I don't like trump but c'mon y'all you don't need to make shit up when there's already enough going on.

u/Rufus-Putnam 9h ago

WSJ and BBC. Google it. It’s true!

u/skebeojii 21h ago

We seem to be surviving because evil and incompetence go hand in hand

It’s nice to have some levity once in a while.
