I would just outfit a C17 with some good seats and the comms and take it from there, No extra seats for the MSM.

Does PE Trump have the authority to cancel it?

He'll cancel it from the Office of the President Elect. :0)

I’m sure he will get there. Lot of low-hanging fruit to go after.

It’s a beautiful thing! Stop the waste, fraud and abuse promoted through Washington kickbacks.

This move sends a wonderful signal.

Clean up the swamp. Clean up the jet stream!

Technically, perhaps not. But I'm sure his intention just caused a small earthquake this morning at Boeing HQ. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall.

Damage good idea. I flew on a few military outfitted 747s. They were perfectly adequate for the purpose.

We the People no longer trust the press corps anyway. Let them eat cake.

It was Voltaire not Napoleon, and he was speaking of British Admiral Byng, who was executed for failing to relieve the garrison on Minorca in the face of a superior French fleet:

“pour encourager les autres” (Voltaire)

I’d bet dollars to donuts that they can’t even put much of that tech on private planes...
national security issues and all that.

So why does Boeing list the passenger version of a new 747-8 for $356.9 million and the freight-hauling version at $357.5 million?”

Because customers will pay that price.

I think Congress cancels the order.

This Boeing was planned to have a huge photo of Hillary on the side and would have to be adapted for less mobile people and contain a hospital for her, that was why it went over budget!

Didn’t Sarah Palin do something like this as Alaska Governor?

Don't know. I have always admired her so I hope so.
