There was a correlation between stage 5 and a Gleason score of 9 as to how severe cancer is, so that little "gotcha moment," is a fucking nothingburger from RE as usual.There is no stage 5 cancer either.
A gift horse with bad teeth?It could be that we’re all wrong about why Qatar wants to “gift” the luxury 747 to Trump. It seems that they’re just trying to get rid of the damned thing.While many have speculated that the Qataris have offered Trump the luxurious plane to curry favor with the famously transactional president, there may be a simpler rationale: they just don’t want it anymore.
The royals have failed to sell the plane, which was put on the market in 2020, according to an archived listing. Giving it away could save Qatar’s rulers a big chunk of change on maintenance and storage costs, aviation experts told Forbes. Making Trump happy would be an added bonus.
So... A white elefant gift?

…the same federal agency Trump is turning the plane over to.What Trump promises and what Trump does are not always the same. He says that the plane should be ready by the end of the year. That would only be possible if he intentionally forgoes many of the safety and security measures that make a proper Air Force One.
The issue arises when that CEO or celebrity utilizes their workplace to give favor to that entity. As long as they are not doing that then they are free to receive benefits and make as much money as they want, and so is Trump.Not according to the domestic and foreign emoluments clauses in the Constitution. Why do you think that Trump went through the motions of (partially) divesting himself from the Trump Organization for his first term? This time around he isn't even pretending.
Einstein already figured that out. That you don't understand it isn't surprising, a lot RE physicists have trouble understanding it too. It's been said that if you think you understand relativity, then you don't understand relativity.I'm curious about the bizarre physics that would be needed to uniformly accelerate the flat earth and all of the celestial objects.
You should probably first focus on the problem with the official model that the earth is exploding apart from itself in an unseen dimension, and that the surface of the earth is accelerating upwards through spacetime.
Where is the evidence for this? Your reference texts give the acceleration phenomena proofs that the earth is accelerating upwards as proof enough that this is happening, which is insufficient considering that there is another more direct interpretation.GR is one of the most thoroughly tested theories ever, starting with the precession of Mercury's orbit and astronomical observations of gravitational lensing. The apparent upward acceleration of the earth's surface is merely a consequence of an otherwise stationary round earth moving through the time element of curved space-time.
If Trump is receiving money from these parties this, it is irrelevant. It's not a conflict of interest because there has been no proof that this has affected Trump's decisions in the workplace, or that there has been a clash of personal and professional interests. There are just accusations that their could be a clash.If Trump is using his status as POTUS to further his personal financial interests, then that is absolutely a conflict of interest because he is supposed to be putting the interests of America before his own.
Again, if you or anyone wants to give me money I would just say thanks and be on my way about it. It's not a given that I am going to owe or give you anything back.Trump is in a position to return favors, you are not. That’s why he’s getting lavish gifts from shady governments and big corporations while you get screwed by footing the bill to upgrade then decommission an Air Force One that probably will never be used as Air Force One. Pray tell, why decommission it when it would make far more sense for it to serve future presidents? Trump is trying to cut wasteful spending, isn’t he? Maybe DOGE should take a look at this deal.
1. He doesn't have a new plane. If it's going to be ready in 2027, the 2028 president can use it.Check me if I’m wrong, but Trump’s term ends in 2029. When will the Qatari Air Force One be ready?
What do you think the Trump Organization’s luxury golf course in Qatar is supposed to be, if nothing less than a conflict of interest?It absolutely makes sense. It's a free plane to the American taxpayer and is going to be used for decades as a United States landmark.But how long will it be used as Air Force One?
Thing is, the cost isn't even the worst part. What sort of quid pro quo will Qatar expect in return for the "gift"? This is why the Emoluments Clause says that the President may not accept such "gifts" without congressional approval.
It's only a quid pro quo if there is a pro quo. For example, if you sent me a link to redeem a $1000 Amazon gift card to my DM as a gift I would happily keep it and assume that you truly just wanted to give me a generous gift. I would give you nothing in return except for a message of thanks.
Inventing bizarre physics to fit a Round Earth paradigm is the wrong approach.
This statement from someone who postulates Electromagnetic Acceleration and even has a mathematical, as yet, undefined constant named for him is beyond comical.

Considering that the US Taxpayers are not even paying for this plane…If Trump ever plans on using it as Air Force One, then the US Taxpayers will most certainly be on the hook for upgrading it to Air Force One standards, and that won’t be cheap.
Oh he won't care about that. What he should care about …Come now, we all know that he doesn’t care about a great number of things that he should care about. You know, things like not crashing the world economy or defending the constitution.
He’ll have to wait for the upgrades if he wants to communicate on a platform more secure than Signal.Given how long it takes to upgrade a 747 to Air Force One standards, I seriously doubt that it will ever be legitimately used as Air Force One. They might just as well hand it over to the Trump library off the bat.
It's far more likely that they won't bother upgrading or modifying it at all, and Trump will just use it as-is. Who's going to stop him?
