True story. Back in 2008 there were two op-ed pieces on the smae page of the Murdoch owned New York Post.
One said that voting for Obama was a waste of time, because he was a centrist neoliberal who’d only serve up milder versions of GOP programs, so you’d be better off with an actual Republican.
The other screamed that he was a radical Socialist who would destroy America.
Same newspaper, same page, no irony
Realistically, it would probably cost more to retrofit a plane than to just build it from scratch.

Fun book about asteroid mining in the near future.
Besides the obvious corruption, it’s a national security issue. I’m not an aircraft designer, but I’m pretty sure there’s quite a bit of electronics aboard that craft. Pretty easy to slip in a few listening devices.

The tl, dr is that Trump gave his co-writer full credit and half the profits of the book, which was a lousy deal for Trump. The co-author took the money and ran.
When you hate typed, you could vent your fury!
Because I haven’t posted it in a while
Making things worse only makes things worse.
I’m a native New Yorker. Donald was a fixture in the local media for decades before he broke into national fame.
I’ve never heard a single story where he doesn’t come off as a petulant loser with an endless well of wantiness.
At least you could say Nixon had a strong work ethic; that Reagan really could give a speech; that Bush Jr. loved his family. Hitler liked dogs. You can’t even say Trump likes his pets.
I learned to type on an IBM Selectric that weighed more than a Volkswagen. Godzilla couldn’t have broken that thing.
So, you’re saying that the money you could be sending to refugee kids is better spent buying you booze?
Gee whiz, it would be a shame if a lot of trained investigators decided to do a little off the books research into what Putin has on Donnie. A real shame…
Which do you think makes Trump happier?
Hearing that people feel burned out and are giving up?
OR
People are feeling mad and organizing?
They don’t.
If you want to talk to real people you’ve got to go out in the real world.
Volunteer for something. Animal shelters and community theaters always need extra hands.
You spend all day waiting for someone to stick a knife in your back and everyone you talk to is trying to play you.
You can be great at one thing and an idiot at everything else.
He kept Dr. Fauci for the entire term, then turned on him.
He only hires the best people, then claims they were idiots form the start.
No, I think he’s that dumb. Look at the lies the Bush Jr. team came up with before the Iraq invasion. Those were great lies; handcrafted with Old World dedication and aged in oak barrels until they were perfect.
These clowns are just incompetent.
The more you think about it, the stupider the idea is.
Besides the obvious security problems, Air Force 1 is to a regular plane what a Formula One racer is to a regular car. Someone else pointed out things like counter-surveillance measures, refueling, etc etc.
It would be twice as expensive to retrofit it.
