Realistically, it would probably cost more to retrofit a plane than to just build it from scratch.

Besides the obvious corruption, it's a national security issue. I'm not an aircraft designer, but I'm pretty sure there's quite a bit of electronics aboard that craft. Pretty easy to slip in a few listening devices.

I'm a native New Yorker. Donald was a fixture in the local media for decades before he broke into national fame.

I've never heard a single story where he doesn't come off as a petulant loser with an endless well of wantiness.

At least you could say Nixon had a strong work ethic; that Reagan really could give a speech; that Bush Jr. loved his family. Hitler liked dogs. You can't even say Trump likes his pets.

I learned to type on an IBM Selectric that weighed more than a Volkswagen. Godzilla couldn't have broken that thing.

Gee whiz, it would be a shame if a lot of trained investigators decided to do a little off the books research into what Putin has on Donnie. A real shame...

Back in the IWW days, the Unions would have their own security teams patrolling any protest. There'd always be someone, paid or otherwise, who'd love a chance to throw a rock at a cop.

Always be alert when you're marching.
