One more gem to add to the list of articles. New photos showing the interior have come out and tell us even more about what it’s like in there. Gnome got a little carried away with this one. Nah, make that a *lot* carried away. It’s dressed for excess. This does not surprise us where Noem is concerned. Now it’s Melania’s, except we don’t expect the same kind of shenanigans going on with her. Thanks to Raw Story:
Photos obtained by PunchUp have revealed an inside look at the former private jet of now ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The Substack from Daily Beast journalist and broadcaster Tom Latchem featured images of the $108 million Boeing 737 MAX, which has been given to first lady Melania Trump and other cabinet members.
HOW much money did she waste? Good grief! We know we paid for all that, just like we paid for her stupid, arrogant nonsense ad. You know, the one that got her fired. Only the best for Noem and her “open secret” lover, Lewandowski. Soooo glad to see him get fired. The man is just as much scum as Miller is. Wait for it….
The jet’s price tag has been a question — and who is paying for it — after the Department of Homeland Security had previously reported it was estimated at $70 million. PunchUp sources have said it’s actually valued at 54 percent more than what DHS had claimed.
Ah. That explains it. The news had said it was $70M. That explains the price difference. 79 was bad enough, but 108? Gah! It has to have been taxpayer money. Trump wouldn’t give up a dime to anyone else to fancy it up. Did she steal the money from FEMA when she gutted it? It wouldn’t be a surprise. The only surprise would be if she *didn’t* do something stupid. Yes, still pissed about FEMA, subject change!
The images of the plane’s interior have revealed more information about what was inside the plane, which Noem reportedly flew in with her long-rumored lover and special government employee Corey Lewandowski, according to reports. It features brown shag carpets, a gray marble bathroom, and a square toilet with a padded, cream-colored leather lid.
A *square* toilet? What huh? That just *sounds* painful. Apparently, a normal toilet just wouldn’t do. And a marble bathroom. On a *plane*. Now we’re getting into Trump territory. He does love his marble. He’ll probably install it in the jet he was given by Qatar. That’s going to be another money sucker. And here we are, to the best part!
“You’d also have to ask why anyone would choose to spend such a staggering amount of money on a plane that looks like a ski chalet designed by the production team behind the Austin Powers movies,” PunchUp reported. “Or, as one administration source told PunchUp: ‘The plane’s ‘shagtastic’ interior resembles a 70s Motel 6 off the Jersey Turnpike.'”
I laughed and laughed and laughed. I hope you do too! The thing sounds like a monument to excess. It also sounds like typical Gnome. She was very good at spending other people’s money. And disappearing. And a lack of the art of public speaking. No matter what her previous positions were, she still sucked at press conferences. But I digressed. Now, Melania and “other cabinet members” can use the “love nest in the sky”. I wish them joy of it.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of elderly, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Why shouldn’t Melania have a jet of her own? After all, it’s not like she could fly on Air Force Two…oh, right. Never mind!
Ahahahahahaha! AF@ is for Vance I think. But Melania would certainly be more than happy to have her own “personal” jet!
“We’re the pilots of Shagtastic 2, and we’ll leave the light on for you.”
We miss you, Tom Bodette 🙂
