Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane ... No, it’s two planes!
Two taxpayer-funded planes, that is. And on those two planes last Thursday were two occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, jetting across country to the same destination — L.A.
Separate planes. Your money.
Ready for the pain?
You’re going to need a No. 2 pencil and scrap paper for this.
Estimates are that Air Force One costs about $206,000 per hour to operate. You could go on Priceline right now and book a round-trip itinerary from Boston to LAX for between $500 and $1,000 total. For what it costs taxpayers to ferry the POTUS, one-way, to Jimmy Kimmel for the all-crucial mission of reading “mean tweets,” you could book 1,000 round-trip flights from Boston to Los Angeles.

..and we're less than five miles away - top of the LQ Cove.....we watched Zer0's personal airplane go right over us on it's way in last month - then the mid-valley road closures began.
But, oh, how they whine about paying off their student loans. In all that, they never learned the value of a $, especially if it wasn’t THEIR $.
“”we watched Zer0’s personal airplane””
That needs correcting. He doesn’t HAVE a PERSONAL AIRPLANE. That airplane belongs to us, the U. S. taxpayers. I don’t think he even has a PERSONAL POT or a PERSONAL WINDOW!!
I thought at least, they would come back to D. C., on the same plane. It doesn’t look like they did. I know the one SHE was on had to come back anyway but let’s make it appear that we can stand one another for the 5 hours it takes to get back, OK?
That’s our problem. Expecting them to think like us! AND thank goodness, we DON’T think like they do.
Indeed...because he obviously DOES think of AF1 as his personal aircraft. This two-plane-to-the-same-city-because-of-a-two-hour-time-difference-for-show-appearance-schedules probably wasn't given a second thought.
I hope, beginning in early 2017, a whole sh*tpot full of books and revelations swamp the media and presses.....and his "legacy" takes the explosive diarrhea route.

For all the good that will do. There were tons of books written about the Clintons - I know, I bought all of them. Sadly, they just kept going like the Energizer bunny and they don’t show any sign of slowing down UNLESS - the latest does the trick for them AND FOR US! I just long for a day of peace before I depart this earth free of the obozos and the Clintons.....
I know! I know! I have the ability to get off the internet and turn off the TV but I don’t WANT to miss anything GOOD!
Reminds me of what mom tells me happened when I was a kid...
She says she was pulling me and the groceries home from shopping, and when she turned to check what I was laughing at, I was dropping dollar bills over the side and had left quite a trail behind us.
This being during WWII when there weren’t too many dollars on hand.
