Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Everything else must be means-tested, but the Mad Pedophile King gets whatever he wants:

ballrooms, arches, billions of dollars for concentrations camps, kidnapping and flights to countries for immigrants, lawfare against all the non-loyalists, and now repainting his plane...

Our tax money at work, folks.

I mean he is trying to steal like 10.3B in our tax dollars through his lawsuits. A paint job seems like nothing compared to that.

Oh no, not again.

This is the livery he tried to get put on the aircraft last time.

It is so generic:

Showtune pink and musical paisley?

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Diaper blast reddish-brown and fool’s gold?

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Wait. No gold? Or is that reserved for the inside?

Aircraft in the presidential and VIP fleet will be repainted in red, white and blue, according to reports from several outlets, including CBS News and Fox News. The new design is also expected to include a gold stripe.

The photo in the story is the current design. It's Trump so you know it will be some combination of tacky and ugly.

Might as well paint "Free Candy" on it since those are the types flying around in it.
