But some are MORE equal than others.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) established a “no-fly zone” for commercial airplanes around the site of Hillary Clinton’s campaign launch Saturday on New York City’s Roosevelt Island.
The FAA’s “Temporary flight restrictions for VIP Movement” notice made clear that people in planes trespassing over Hillary’s event could get shot down.
“The United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat,” the notice said.
Though Clinton is not the president, and thus should not normally warrant this kind of federal privilege, her husband, former president Bill Clinton, was also at the event. It is unclear if there will be more no-fly zones around Hillary campaign events in the future.
Some New York City officials were reportedly upset about the no-fly zone, on behalf of tourist helicopters.
Call in the drones.
Are brooms exempt?
They should declare a “no fly” zone around the lyin’ king to keep them from landing on his forehead.
I was at the NYS Fair back when Hillary! Was running for Senator from NY and they literally shut down an entire exit from Interstate 690 to accommodate her motorcade. Thousands of drivers waited in traffic for an hour or more so she could get in and out of the fair without delay. She really doesn’t give two shits about middle class Americans.
All except for Broom Force One.
She’s one of the ruling elites and so what do you expect.
Does that apply to the flies that normally surround Ol’ Crusty like a cloud?
They screwed up. It was supposed to be a no lie zone.
Let’s be clear, this is not about “security”.
Manhattan has been a no-fly zone for non-emergency helos since before 9/11.
This IS about keeping the news choppers from getting an aerial view of the lukewarm attendance for her re-re-re-relaunch.
Didn’t then, doesn’t now, never will.

Good grief! Who is that ugly woman holding a blanket with something in it?
show us your teeth chelsea
The FAA was concerned about the gravitational pull her thighness exerts.
I think what you said, plus this: without the no-fly zone a plane would have been hired to fly in circles above the event towing a banner that read BENGHAZI: Never forget! Hillary fears planes towing banners and will likely try to have a no-fly zone declared every time she has an outdoor rally, even if she has to drag her ex-president husband to her events in order to get the no-fly declaration.
In another age it would have been a free fire zone.
That’s Web Hubbell’s daughter and grandchild.
