They just arrested the mayor of Newark, NJ, so that may be being fast-tracked.

--Patrick
Not just arrested, but they were holding him in an undisclosed location.

Reports are saying he's now been released, but holy fuck I hope they don't get away with disappearing the mayor of a major city to a secret location.

Trump's "free" plane would be very expensive.

“This isn’t really a gift,” said Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, which oversees executive airlift. “You’d basically have to tear the plane down to the studs and rebuild it to meet all the survivability, security and communications requirements of Air Force One. It’s a massive undertaking — and an unfunded one at that.”
....
“The cost of a retrofit like this would likely be on the order of a heavy maintenance cycle for a VC-25A, which is in the tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars,” said former Air Force acquisitions chief Andrew Hunter. Add to that the significant cost of sweeping the aircraft for software modifications or embedded foreign tech. “That’s not a trivial thing to do,” Hunter said. “That alone would cost tens of millions of dollars.”
 
The man is garbage and 99.9% of what he says is either trash or flaming trash. But I feel we need to make note of the 0.1% of the time where he says something right and actually just leaves it be without trying to anvil-drop in a dig at something/someone.

I might acknowledge this statement if it had come out of his own mouth, but since this is completely out of character I'll agree with @Ravenpoe that this probably wasn't something Trump said.
 
I mean, it's still kind of surprising there's anybody in the Trump administration that has the morsel of empathy and dignity to post such a thing.
 
You do not in any circumstances have to hand it to ISIS.
Never said I would. Nor did I say I had to hand it to Trump either. He posted something that’s notable because it’s clearly not his usual bullshit. Be it notable for whatever reason you find it, but it is notable. It didn’t last long, as he was already making up bullshit about endorsement fraud a few hours later. Fleeting compassion does not make him a good person. We don’t have to tolerate him because of brief moments of kindness. It’s never even been suggested.
