    And remember to include sweeping it right down to the airframe for bugs, and detecting and reprogramming/replacing any AI/autopilot so that it cannot simply fly home to mommy as soon as Netanyahu is aboard.

    This is all assuming Trump lets them. They all work for Trump, and we know for a fact that Trump doesn't care what those people think about national security if it inconveniences him. Trump's not going to wait years to sit in those comfy chairs pointed at that large screen TV.

    I don't even know how you sweep for bugs any more. Lots of things in a luxury airplane will have microphones by design, and it's almost certainly going to act as a hub for cellphones as well. You'd need a complete system analysis.

    Maybe the brainworm wanted to visit family, or needed a refresher?

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/po...ontaminated-rock-creek-dc-bacteria-rcna206416

    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandchildren swimming in waters known to be contaminated during a Mother’s Day hike in Rock Creek Park.

    In one of the photos from Sunday, Kennedy is seen fully submerged in the water, with his grandchildren swimming, in spite of an ongoing National Park Service advisory against coming in contact with the water in the Washington, D.C., park “due to high bacteria levels.” The same notice says swimming and wading are not permitted due to the health risks.


    “Stay out of the water to protect streambanks, plants and animals and keep you and your family (including pets!) safe from illness,” the advisory states. “Rock Creek has high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens that make swimming, wading, and other contact with the water a hazard to human (and pet) health.”

    Doge...

    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/13/doge-caucus-dead-congress-00347009

    The Senate and House established the caucuses before Inauguration Day. And soon after, Elon Musk and his former DOGE partner, Vivek Ramaswamy were on Capitol Hill, introducing themselves to lawmakers.
    The first DOGE caucus meetings in the House were packed.

    But the group has not been involved with Musk’s decision-making, according to the House DOGE caucus’ first Democratic member, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.). In fact, the caucus has fizzled out, he said in a Q&A with POLITICO.

    ...    ​

    Our chat with Moskowitz has been edited for length and clarity.

    You were the first Democrat to join the bipartisan DOGE caucus in Congress. What’s the status of that group?

    The DOGE caucus is dead. It’s defunct. We haven’t met in months. We only had two total meetings in five months. And we weren’t involved at all in anything [happening at DOGE], which Elon was in charge of. Zero. Zilch. Nada. [Musk] did it all on his own.

    DOGE was a complete failure. Complete failure. Nothing has been made more efficient. Ask the people in Newark [Liberty International Airport, which has suffered delays and cancellations] how efficiency is going.    ​

    I highly doubt this ban will ever happen....That is a serious stain though on Pelosi's as speaker, she purposely sank any attention to ban members of Congress from stock trading.



    “Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday he supports a ban on stock trading by members of Congress amid controversy about well-timed trades during recent market volatility,” Politico reports.

    Conversely, this seems to be getting more attention now because of Pelosi's trading. What is being report less is MTG's trading.

    That's coz people expect it from the right. From people supposedly on 'the left', not so much.

    I didn't realize this happened in Rock Creek Park. I've walked through there dozens of times in my life, and I've never seen anyone swimming in the creeks. That's nuts.

    MTG's trading is really, really bad. As in really, really suspicious. Make's Pelosi's trading look almost guess work.

    Oh I understand what you're saying and I agree. I'm just pointing out that, tbh, I'd be amazed if MTG WASN'T doing insider trading and being a dumb arsehole is too stupid to know how to hide it.
