President Trump to have Air Force One repainted

[Soggy in NOLA]

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and airplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Ever notice Trump is all about saving government money...


except when it is for him?

If you weren't a dingbat you would know that airplanes get painted on a regular basis so if essentially costs nothing.

except when it is for him?

Try doing research. There are two new planes coming off the line at boeing. He is suggesting that the current paint scheme designed in 1960 be updated. He is not suggesting repainting the current plane.

The same paint scheme has been used by Presidents over several generations. Trump only wants to change the plane scheme so that he can say he did it, not because it needs to be done. The new planes won't even be ready for him to use before he leaves office.

And you have spoken to him to know that's why he wants to do it? There is nothing wrong with changing the paint scheme. Truman, Eisenhower and JFK had different paint schemes. What's the big deal?

What's the big deal? It's unneeded. If you think it is the same as giving any other plane a new paint job you are quite mistaken. Air Force One is not your ordinary jetliner.

Trump worked to take away the free lunch program from poor kids, yet wants to spend money for shit like this.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

I recall that Rump also couldn't afford to --- or couldn't be bothered to --- keep his own plane's registration up to date.

Think back....
It was an employee that fucked that up not Trump.

I doubt Trump is in charge of maintaining his airplanes.

Ugly? You don't like the State Blue? You know it was President John F. Kennedy in 1962 who was responsible for Air Force One being painted State Blue, in 1962 they decide to replace the President Eisenhower Boeing 707's and the aircraft the USAF purchased was two Boeing C-137 Stratoliners and originally they were supposed to be painted in the livery of Red and Metallic Gold this was the HORRENDOUS colour scheme that the United States Air Force had chosen (Red and Metallic Gold would look very CHEAP, the USAF obviously do not have a CLUE about pleasing Aesthetics), JFK did not like the look of this, he asked the Industrial Designer Raymond Loewry to think of a different colour scheme and Loewry chose State Blue, White and also Cyan which is a greenish pale blue and so this is what was agreed on, Raymond Loewry designed many famous other Logos and famous colour schemes during the 20th Century see the below link to Raymond Loewry for his other famous designs.

The below is a Boeing C-137 Stratoliner VC-137C SAM 26000 aka Air Force One from 1962 (the second identical Boeing C-137 Stratoliner was VC-SAM 27000), the livery is very attractive, State Blue and White and Cyan (where U.S. Air Force and the Seal are), this aircraft was Designated Air Force One from 1962-1998 so it was the Air Force One of JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton:

Before the JFK 1962 Raymond Loewry colour redesign, the below is what the Air Force One colour scheme looked like, it also was a different plane, I think the below is the VC-137 SAM 970 or the VC-137 SAM 972 both were two of three Boeing 707's that President Dwight Eisenhower had used during the 1950s, this below picture shows JFK and Jackie-O getting off the plane what date I do not know except it has to be BEFORE August 10 1962 because on August 10 1962 the new Boeing C-137 Stratoliner VC-137C SAM 26000 with the livery of State Blue, White and Cyan made it's Maiden Flight, I add that the below colour scheme is also attractive:

Well done Oosie. A treasure trove of info.

I agree the blue/blue is very tasteful. Although the Cyan would be the darker blue here (I used to mix ink colors for printing presses). It's nicely understated, not at all loud. I'm sure its subtlety rubs Rump and his trashy orange taste buds the wrong way.

I dont know about anyone else but I never went to a school that offered breakfast for free and we did just fine.
And why would you need free breakfast for a kid who's parents are already on food stamps?
Are the parents such lazy ***** that they cant make their kid breakfast or lunch even when the food is free?

So there are jobs out there for everyone? All jobs pay enough to pay all the bills and be able to eat a healthy meal? How many parents are working multiple jobs and can't even be there in the morning to make sure their kids are eating before they go to school?

Not all people can be like you where you brag about throwing away more food per month than some spend on an entire family.

I lived with a silver spoon in my mouth till my parents divorced when I was eleven.
But my mother managed to make me breakfast and give me the $1.75 for lunch everyday even though we were barely getting by and we were never on food stamps.

Congrats! Guess what we don't live in a vacuum. My parents got divorced when I was 10 and my father worked third shift... and every morning I would be woken up by a phone call from my grandmother and would be responsible for finding clean clothes, getting ready for school, and everything else. My father was an alcoholic and when I'd come home from school he'd be passed out drunk and I'd have to make myself dinner and make sure I did all my homework. I was able to do that, but I don't expect everyone else's kids to be able to do that.

Meh.....both my Mother and Father were alcoholics.
Cry me a river.

You are the one that started the whole sympathy shit. Fact is, we don't live in a vacuum, and the fact you think we do just shows you have a lack of empathy.

There's some truth to that.
No I really dont have empathy for them. They get free food from the government,they can get their lazy asses out of bed and make their kids breakfast and lunch or have their kids removed from the home.

The majority of those that get food stamps WORK. They aren't lazy.

I do too. But I don't doubt he's in charge of delegating who is.

But that's a good plan, next time you get pulled over for driving with an expired plate just tell 'em "I'm not in charge of keeping that up". Oughta work.

And whats to stop them from making their kids lunch or breakfast the night before?
Stop making excuses for near do wells.

I'm not big on the baby blue either.
But then who else could still appear menacing in baby blue other than the U.S.?

Why the **** would you want the President's transport vehicle --- arguably a symbol of the nation --- to be "menacing"? You starting a war next week?

That what you want your country to be known for ---- being a "menace"?

You're just lying.

It was the Obama administration that cut back on the portions in school lunches, causing many kids to go to classes hungry. They also replaced milk with "fat-free milk", which is what is left of milk after the manufacturer extracts the vast majority of the nutrients out of it for use in other products. Manufacturers love this because they can sell the milk twice, thus making much more profit, at the expense of the taxpayers and children's health.

The Obama administration also allowed meat to be replaced with animal fodder, which contains endocrine disruptors, in the school lunches. They take the toxic waste of the soybean oil industry and put it in school lunches.

It is very unhealthy for kids to consume that crap.

You aren't even talking about the same ******* thing.

Trump got rid of free lunches for poor kids.

Obama simply tried to make lunches more nutritious. Obama fucked up... Trump is just heartless.

You are simply lying. Trump did not get rid of free lunches for poor kids, jackass.

Trump's aesthetic choices do run along the gaudy track. His apartment looks as if Louis XIV dropped acid.

Even if they made their breakfast before they went to work at night, there is no one there making sure they eat it... and even if they make their lunch for them to take to school, there is no one there making sure they remember to take it.

Quit trying to think like a ******* adult and start thinking like a kid, which is who we are actually talking about.

And sadly you seemed to skip over the point of saving $1.6 billion in one place to waste it in another isn't actually saving any money, but of course you are more ok with Trump wasting it, then for it actually going to do some good.

It is in Trump, Mulavany, and Devos' budget. Unless you have forgotten, the U.S. is still not running on an annual budget. In fact Trump is threatening to shut down the government again in September if he doesn't get his way.

 

[Pogo]

Trump has spent a shit load of $$$ on his own old fleet of planes bringing them up to his narcissistic standards - time he spent taxpayer money to pump up his ego and impress KGB thugs and Communist Koreans.

So a US citizen can afford to keep his jets freshly painted but the US government cant?

sure - the government is more than happy to spend taxpayer $$

and youre a happy SUCKER

BE PROUD

Trump got 1.4 billion cut from the cost of the new AF1 deal.
Bet you hate that.

That's apparently according to Rump's own version.
You know, the guy who just tried to dance around "could" versus "couldn't" as if it wasn't a bald orange faced lie. The guy who claimed he had more people at his inauguration (where it wasn't raining) than anybody since Reagan. The guy who claimed he got more done than anybody since Truman. The guy who claimed he never went bankrupt. The guy who claimed thousands of people were dancing on rooftops. The guy who claimed he knew nothing about paying off Stormy Daniels. Etc etc etc etc etc.
