You can’t seriously expect these two high-power grandees to trifle about with ordinary Americans.

Been a real shame IF it had taken some randomly-fired missle straight up its arse in mid-flight. Just sayin’.

When I go to Bakersfield, I drive. It’s about 6 hours from Sacramento.

When I read the title, I thought “That would be a great name for some Leftist sports team: “The Fighting Oligarchs”! Hey-what would that logo look like???”

Grok absolutely rocks! Google is gonzo!
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) chartered a Bombardier Challenger 604 (also referred to as a Canadair Challenger 604) private jet for at least one leg of their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour in April 2025.
The N-number (tail/registration number) of the Bombardier Challenger 604 private jet used by Bernie Sanders and AOC for the Bakersfield-to-Sacramento leg (and prior legs like Salt Lake City to Boise and Boise to Bakersfield) on their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour was N56GJ.

In nautical miles per gallon for the Bombardier Challenger 604 (more relevant for aviation),
expect ~1.2–1.5 NMPG in cruise, depending on the exact profile.
BRUH!

King Sanders...a politician who has held a series of government offices for a total of 44 years. These people don’t want Kings, but they give politicians like Bernie Sanders lifetime appointments as if they were monarchs.
