Who has standing to sue? Asking for a country

(Since Congress will do nothing)

I think it’s possible that a senator or congressman, maybe Schumer, could sue on behalf of Congress and be found to have standing.

Fed Law “Joinder of Multiple Claims: Rule 18 permits a party to bring as many claims as they have against an opposing party in one legal action.“ How about a class action suit of 10-50 million Americans?

Why isn’t Trump’s meme coin receiving similar scrutiny? It’s a conduit for bribery, plain and simple!

I’ve read that the plane will need massive retrofitting which will cost the American taxpayer many millions of dollars. There’s your financial injury argument.

Can’t someone report Stephen Miller to the bar association for practicing without a license?

Not the gift. ITS THE DONOR.

Laura Loomer is right.

“It’s going to be hard for the admin to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and obliterate Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah when Qatar funds the Muslim Brotherhood, harbors HAMAS, and the US just accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar,” Loomer wrote. “The biggest lobby in DC is the Qatar lobby. We are watching an Islamic takeover of our country in real time.”

Qatar has been a significant financial supporter of Hamas, channeling aid to Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, for years. Qatar has given amnesty to Hamas political leaders, including Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashal, in Doha. It held itself out an a mediator but that is baloney.

Also implicated is Pam Bondi.

He’s flouted everything else - why not an airplane. I think if he did get Canada and Greenland somehow he’’d keep them if he ever left office.

The Grifter in Chief is so happy with his latest and maybe greatest grifting. Of course it violate the Emoluments clause in the Constitution.

Only a few Congressional Republicans are bothered by this, so far, but there still may be time for them to grow a backbone!

The thing is with that plane is that the Qataris really don't want it. It's been sitting at various airports and not being utilized because it's passe tech. It is 13 years old and the last of its kind.

There's some reason why they've offered it and goes beyond mere bribery. They want to offload it to the gullible and stupid.

I read somewhere that it will take several years to read this plane to serve as Air Force One. Who will pay for the upgrades? And if it takes several years and Trump is no longer president then the country after doing the upgrades is still without a viable plane for its CEO. This offer definitely needs congressional scrutiny.

I heard an interview today with the congressman who heads that committee - he said the 2 747 planes they're working on now are going to be ready in 2027, and you're right, it takes years to get them ready. These 2 planes have had several delays, too. It cost at least $800M to upgrade these two planes - they have to strip them down to the nuts and bolts and build them back up from there. What would happen to all of the gold fixtures and cherubs if they do that?! I'll bet Trump has no intention of letting them near that plane. A huge security risk. we foot the bill (Congress has to approve the money - $400M by this congressman's estimate). So this "free" plane is definitely not free for us!

Steven Miller is the Nazi Nosferatu. So help me God if this guy saw any sunlight or was sprayed with vitamin d he would implode and burst into flames.

Trump already screwed up a deal Obama made to order two new planes from Boeing. In 2018, Trump cancelled that contract and created the deal with Boeing that exists today. Boeing regrets this deal as they have lost more than $1 billion so far. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/04/27/boeing-lost-billion-dollars-on-trump-air-force-one-plane-deal.html

We can’t afford to put any more money into planes for Trump.

Political Parties be damned. It seems that the Democrats have lost the ability to organize and act in favour of the Country and the GOP have lost their souls and spines. What are you all going to tell your children and grandchildren?
