Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

[Harpy Eagle]

It is very routine for C-17s to land at a commercial airbase.

I have worked on them for a decade and we almost always stopped at a small airport in England or Germany. Rarely we would stop at Ramstein when going to the ME on our fist stop. Never stopped in Lakenheath though that would seem to be another good option. Further, it is not the president that determines where the crew stays. It is not command that determines where the crew stays. It is not even regulated where they stay. The crew is given a max allowance to spend per night on hotels and THEY CHOOSE where they want to stay.

Finally, 18 pages later, has anyone shown anywhere that Trump had anything to do with this whatsoever? The thread seems to be about a SINGLE occurrence. You have got to be kidding me. ONCE this happened and suddenly people think that Trump ordered it to what? Make 500 bucks with a single visit to his resort?

This is birther level of asshattery. Not really surprising from the Hannity of the left....

are there any records of C17s stopping at this location prior to 2017?

Were there any records of failed Heath care website payments to Michelle’s friends before 2012?

Once again, proving there is no difference between Trump and Obama.

We used to stay in hotels in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.....but that changed in 91 under the Bush cutbacks. Every once in awhile we stayed in hotels....but only because they didn't have any place for us on bases.

You did that you moron. As soon as you went to the classic " But OBAMA" maneuver you linked them. Every time you use the actions of Obama to excuse the actions of Trump you are essentially saying they are no different

 

[ph3iron]

She is smart as all shit

Sure right. Must be why her crying rants have been supported by crying rants.

She is smart as all shit

Obama, Hillary and Madcow were all geniuses, but Trump is a billionaire and the most powerful person in the world.

Go figure.

Lesbian? Omg
Taxes supposed to say our 6 bankrupt fat boy is .
Why isn't he dying to produce them to show how rich he is?

We already know how rich he is, loser.

Couldn't resist the insult?
Dead giveaway for zero college?
So you have seen his taxes then.
Care to share them?

 

[ph3iron]

I’m sure the crew that made this “odd stop” didn’t object one bit.

Hopefully, they were treated well while they were there.

The fat boy made $1mm out of the stop?

 

[ph3iron]

Rachel Maddow just finished a nice segment on this Politico story. Trump seems to be really raiding the military to enrich himself.

Rachel Maddow has absolutely no credibility.

BS You're supposed to filter out BS How come you let so much republican bull shit through?

Do you honestly believe Maddow is credible?

And what is her academic history and what is yours trump rube?

 

[ph3iron]

This is PURE corruption like we have never in our lifetime seen from a Presidential Administration and Trumpers just don't care

He was corrupt before his presidency ,why did Republicans think he'd change his stripes?

His stripes have always been one color red white and blue. Why on Earth would we want him to change girl?

He's got you fooled too.
A devout Christian too

Take a look down below little man. Can’t say you were not warned. My patience is short these days. Phiron goes too, next offense.

rusty ,,you don't care that trumps using the presidency to enrich himself?

Na, not really
There would be no trump if there was no Obama… Karma is a *****.
Lol

There would be no Trump without gullible, hate filled conservatives

There would have been no obummer without stupid, white guilt ridden white people voting for him.

Trumps support is not from racist twits. No, his support is from the normal, quiet, reasonable people.

The hatred is overwhelmingly coming from your side.

Trump knew what buttons to push with conservative America

Hatred and fear against Muslims, Mexicans and gays

DEPLORABLE

I see no hatred from trumps supporters. You try and whip up this false narrative because it is all you have. But I can show maybe ten videos of so called trump supporters acting stupidly toward minorities, however I can show THOUSANDS of you clowns doing it. Thinking people know that you are a liar lefty looney. They also know that the claims of trump being racist and homophobic are also lies.

You have lost the thinking part of the country and are left only with the violent fascists to support you now.

What does it feel like to be on the side that 100 years from now will be reviled for your violent and divisive rhetoric?

Or are pootins checks to you so good that you don't care?

Or are you actually just a russian troll doing your masters bidding?

Thinking people?
You mean the zero college trumpies who trek around to his rallies.
Most on disability and commie SS Medicare

What the **** are you talking about? Are you drunk?

You are the one that brought Obama into the discussion, not me

 

[Rambunctious]

Its funny...for decades I've heard people say "we need a businessman for president not all of these lawyers"...now we have one and some of you have joined the lawyers in opposing the businessman...

It was generally REPUBLICANS saying that bullshit...most notably Bush the Lesser

So you prefer ambulance chasing legal people that think there are more than one meaning of the word "is"?......not me I'm sick of those dishonest blowhards....I like the fact that the lawyer swamp hates my president...it means he is working for us and not them....you say Trump isn't presidential and I say good....I'm sick of "presidential"....presidential people have sold us down the river...how is your retirement prospects looking?...your healthcare top notch?....how about your kids or grand kids education?...okay with you?...

How about all those subpoenas trump refuses to get thru?? Trump is a crook and no matter how he hides his taxes his financial records he is what he is

You think Trump is a crook but he is not....so its you that has a problem not Trump....

Not relevant without establishing some sort of command to go there from the WH, particularly with a guard crew where odd stops are very likely. We would always fight to return with the C-130 crews if possible from Qatar because they would often stop in some awesome places (including Ireland and Scotland) as they had a lot more control over their itinerary being guard. I don't know about this specific airport but I do know it is far larger and deals with a lot more traffic than a LOT of civilian airports I have stopped at before.

Are there any reports on the weather? Are there any reports on where the flight plan came from? Was the stop even on a flight plan? Were there maintenance issues forcing an early landing? Why is this the ONLY crew that seems to have stopped there? Do you really think that there are no other considerations for this particular stop when there seem to be no other examples of this?

You see, this 'news report' is based almost entirely on missing information rather than actual facts. We really know 2 things, the crew stopped at an unusual location (happens all the time) and stayed at an overpriced resort (also happens ALL the time).

I can't believe this childish sniveling thread is still going. The stupidity and ignorance of this post is so far off the charts that its amazing. This type of thing is nothing new and it happens all the time with every president. Why don't you grow up and become an adult for God's sake.

[rightwinger]

WTF are you babbling about?

Having an airport right next to his golf course is essential to the profitability of that golf course. Stop pretending stupidity. People will start to think it's not a pretense

Well, except for the fact that it is NOT right next to his golf course! Why don't you lay off the booze while posting, Lush?

Why do you libtards try to out-stupid each other on every thread?

You are correct
It is 30 minutes from Trumps Golf Course. Not exactly a convenient or economic place to stop when flying to Kuwait

Why won’t the Pentagon provide a simple explanation?

Maybe because they didn't know it was an issue.
Course with the media and Democrats in general....every God Damned thing is an issue.

The point of all of this is Trump did all of the paperwork taking this sort of thing into consideration before he took office.....but that doesn't stop TDS assholes raising questions and making accusations before finding out all of the facts.

If it is not an issue, why can’t the Pentagon provide the numbers showing that stopping at a private airport in Scotland and paying commercial prices for fuel is more cost effective than stopping at a military base.

We also need to know if the White House influenced the decision

So you're trying to say that Trump letting a military aircraft land and refuel at a civilian airport is more expensive than a military installation.....but you really don't know, do you?
My understanding after being in the military and civil service since 1974....everything the military does is more expensive.....primarily because of federal bureaucracy.

Bullshit

Military buys jet fuel in gigantic purchases. If you ever really worked for me the military, you would know they get the best price on commodities
