Vice President Kamala Harris was forced to switch planes on her return trip from Europe on Saturday due to technical issues on Air Force Two.

Harris boarded a C-17 support plane Saturday afternoon following her speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

Ron Brown’s pilot was not available to answer Hillary’s (er, the current VP’s) call for help with this latest airplane problem.

Neither was Kennedy.

Do they have to order parts from China and/or Russia. Globalization comes with unexpected consequences.

Mechanics were unable to rid Air Force Two of its persistent cackling, so the Vice President had to be transferred to another plane.

I heard she told the press that “the plane is a plane and its just like the other plane that is a plane so I have to get on the plane.”

Kennedy flew a perfectly good plane into the ocean. People who aren’t rated for flying in soup shouldn’t get the gotta-go’s but it happens all the time.

The pilots had her read the preflight checklist to them. Then the wheels fell off.

They do what is necessary to keep Kamala “busy” and mostly out of public eyes. “Where should we send her next? Maybe a Fact Finding Mission in Timbuktu? She can get a custom made pair of Alligator shoes!”

Misleading headline. Any air force aircraft that the vice president is on is Air Force 2, whether it’s a B-757 or C-17.

I bet it was a tad louder than her flight over.

It didn’t help that his wife’s SISTER was more than a little late for the scheduled takeoff—and it forced the flight into darkness-—

BUT JOHN should have told them both—WE WILL GO TOMORROW.

No, she insisted on DIE (Diversity, Inclusion and Equity) employees only when working on and for Administration details. ; ).

It will be interesting who will be hired for the WH’s Secret Service Detail? A blind one legged agent maybe?
