Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write any of our representatives as often as possible. Not just your own state reps, reach out to those in other states. Be as loud as you can and share this. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

Yes that’s great and easy! I know as I call others I wouldn’t have necessarily known their name to give easily or their state. I’ve definitely done more research to know more in the past couple months though

Nothing worth 400 million dollars is given for free. We need a president that understands that. Unfortunately “sir” you don’t.

He only sees dollar signs and the kind of adulation he feels he deserves 🤧 disgusting, disgraceful, corruption of the highest level and he just doesn't care.

You have that right. This is his new deal, but seems odd that the Saudi Arabia now have a $142 billion arms deal with the US, which The Houthis, primarily based in northern and western Yemen, are geographically close to Saudi Arabia and have a border with the Saudi kingdom, Saudi Arabia is the Houthis main arms supplier.

At long last, have they no shame? Have they no sense of decency? How many ways can we say it? Congress is not doing its job in this case, and the Supremes abandoned all sense of decency months ago when they gave the moron unlimited license to lie, cheat, and steal. He’ll keep pushing the boundaries as long as they let him get away with it.

Right on Mary! But it will take a brave, uncorrupt Congress to put a final stop to this, as well as an AG who legally and ethically does her job. We do not have either of those things. The AG has been doing business, and earning BIG money with Qatar, for a while, working as their foreign representative to our Congress, and our Congress.....well, they haven't done one friggin' thing right since your uncle got into office. You have to be ethical and honest to work against this type of poison, and sadly, they are not. Your unc has performed so many illegal acts, it is mind blowing, but this one absolutely takes the cake. Of course, it is blatantly unconstitutional; no question, no discussion, just illegal, but what does he do? Diss an ABC reporter who asks him about the legality of this action. I don't know if he's just a crook, a criminal, or also significantly demented, with a profound personality disorder and perhaps a reading disability, as I'm sure he's never even touched the Constitution, let alone read it. He's making this ME trip to cut personal deals with the rich Middle Eastern countries, to debase our security, while filling his personal coffers, that he depleted with poor business decisions while a private citizen. If George Washington was still with us, he'd be building gallows as we speak.

Perhaps, Mary, you have commented on this before, but there is something especially ludicrous in the idea of having a Trump *library* giv3n his seeming illiteracy.

Gifting a plane to a "library* is rather bizarre in any case.

Thanks for this, Mary. Expecting the Republican toadies and cultists to do their jobs, is like expecting your piece of shit uncle to not take a bribe in the first place. America is being run like a criminal enterprise for the benefit of the Criminal-in-Chief. This episode is one of the least surprising things he has done.

What?? He’s not going to hold a global auction for the plane and use all the money (without deductions for his expenses) to give back the funds his musk-o-bite chainsawed from federal services?

You know, the services to help meet Americans’ health and safety needs, government ethics

and USAID’s soft power to help the world’s poor and stop them from rushing into the eager arms of terror groups?!

Okay, the receipt of the $400 million 747 is against the US Constitution? When has DT ever seen that as an obstacle? The Constitution means absolutely nothing to him. And another thing, SCOTUS told DT to bring home Abrego-Garcia from the prison in El Salvador, and he basically told SCOTUS to pound sand.

Mary, I’ve been reading your books - “WCELY” first, now into “Too Much”, then on to “Reckoning”. I watch your videos and read your Substack every day. Donald is exhausting, your family was/is exhausting, and everything going on in the world today is exhausting because of him. I just need to say this to you and I hope you read your comments…YOU are not like them, you are a remarkable, kind, loving, sparkling, soul. As repulsive as he is, he will never, ever dim YOUR light.❤️

And will all of the pro Israel and Jewish members of Congress have no problem with the president receiving this from the Qatari government which has long supported Hamas? According to Wikipedia the Qatari government has given at least $1.8 billion to Hamas over the years. And while Qatar as acted as a go between in negotiations for the release of hostages and possible ceasefires, the government has actively supported Hamas for many years. Does the president's acceptance of this plane imply they are trying to sway the U.S. position vis a vis Israel?

So many questions with no credible answers.

The violation of law could not be more blatant; unless, of course he does take over GAZA as his private Disney/Riviera. He keeps finding more outrageous ways to dare someone to slap him down--slapped into a cell--is the minimum.

Theres nothing much we can do about this until we are able to re-educate the 55% of the 55% of the people who voted him into office, and allowed him to make dishonesty and treason the order of the day.

If the plane really is a gift to the US, we get to keep it after Donald leaves office. Plain & simple. Did Grover Cleveland transfer the Statue of Liberty - a gift from France - to his backyard after his term was over? No. Same thing.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch or airplane. This is a bribe as well as illegal but of course that doesn’t matter to trump or his supporters. Not to mention what it will cost us, the taxpayer, to get this plane the needed modifications. And I thought a new Air Force One was already under construction (more at the taxpayers’ expense) so what happens to that?

Yes Boeing is building a plane.

They could make the Qatari plane a sight seeing aircraft n charge money. The money could be used for any project for we the people!
