Air Force One Unsafe to Fly
from CyberDisobedience - by John Aravosis Hosted by John Aravosis
On tonight’s show I’ll be discussing Donald Trump’s latest Washington ego trip, from the proposed giant Trump arch near the Lincoln Memorial to reports that he may be messing with the 200-year-old White House columns because apparently they aren’t tacky enough for him. Then we’ll get into Trump’s new Air Force One debacle. The plane he rushed, the plane he loves, the plane tied to that ridiculous Qatar bribe story, reportedly was not safe enough for him to fly because the Secret Service had concerns about whether it was secure enough. Which is both hilarious and terrifying, because this is exactly what happens every time Trump rushes one of his vanity projects: it breaks, it leaks, or it turns into a national embarrassment. I’ll also discuss the latest charges over the damaged Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and why the legal case may not be as simple as Trump’s people want it to sound. Plus Marco Rubio is now warning more than 60 countries about “transnational far-left terrorism,” because apparently the administration needs a new scary phrase to justify going after the left. And finally, we’ll talk Ukraine: Kyiv reportedly hit 14 Russian ships in the Sea of Azov, Trump is now suddenly backing Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia, and Ukraine may finally be getting more Patriot missiles -- though, as always, the question is when.
