Who paid for it?

[blackdog]

What bloodied and beaten oligarch was nice enough to offer their jet, crew,and catering for their “Fight the Oligarchy” sideshows?

[Steely Tom]

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

[No name given]

The taxpayers, I hate to say.

[Salman]

Nothing like billionaire financed socialists.

“...What bloodied and beaten oligarch was nice enough to offer their jet, crew,and catering for their “Fight the Oligarchy” sideshows?...”

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???”

[know.your.why]

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.

They could just use that high-speed rail system.

Good for me, not for thee
Remember at dim convention when Bernie railed against billionaires and the next speaker was a billionaire 😂😎

Elite “greenies” all flying their private jets to meet and pat each other on the back for “caring” about the planet

Years ago in college back in the 80s got into a “discussion “ with campus socialists complaining that 10% controlled 90% of the wealth, told them so you prefer a system where 1% controls 99% of the wealth.😂

BS AOC LOL

Fighting Oligarchy tour...

Please help us fight Oligarchy. But please, even though we are part of the oligarchy, we are fighting it for you, because we hate it...

(Bernie and AOC whispering to each other) What a bunch of morons, thinking we are fighting oligarchy. Yes we are, so they can't get to become one.
