Attorney General Pam Bondi gave Donald Trump the green light to accept a $400 million “flying palace” as a gift from Qatar.

ABC News reported that the Qatar royal family is expected to gift Trump a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet ahead of his big trip to the Middle East, where he is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar to secure “economic agreements.”

Bondi and Trump’s top White House lawyer, David Warrington, have already smoothed the legal details. They concluded that the gift is “legally permissible” because it is being handed to the United States Air Force and then will be transferred to Trump’s presidential library foundation. They also determined it does not constitute a bribe because the gift does not hinge on an official act.

        Advice? You don’t want advice. People including myself have tried. We are met with excuses and derision only.

        You want smart ass comments that inflame and invite so that’s what you get.

      Sure, I’ll just quit my job and travel the 4500 km to Washington DC, then I will stand outside and yell across the lawn to him that “I demand satisfaction!”, and when he walks down to the fence to talk to me I’ll challenge hin to a duel.

        You guys will use any excuse not to fight back. I’m almost of the belief that you all deserve what you’ve gotten but I still hold on to some little thread that most people are genuinely good and smart. You continually prove otherwise however. It’s hard to even believe there’s even just one good one left. Enjoy dancing with the stars or whatever is more important than the lives of your fellow countrymen and eventually yourself.

          Some of us are fighting. They don’t put it on TV or push it to the front of social media the way they did the BLM protest, but we are out there. I am out there every weekend at my state capital building screaming and I am not alone.
