    In any case-it appears that he has had a very successful trip to the Middle East, both economically and politically in terms of regional stability.

    Even some former Biden staff members are kind of in awe over what he's done on this trip.

    I'll never be accused of being his biggest fan...or even a big fan...but the dude has some moves and he's not afraid to show them.

    Yes, it appears so:
    -Trillions in business deals and defense contracts.
    -forcing the Iranians to the negotiating table over their nuclear weapons the Dems helped build
    -getting the Iranians to scale back their support of the Houthis
    -lifting sanctions against the Syrian Govt.

    And the Dems, what do they do? Ignore all that and whine about this stupid plane.

    To be fair, that is politics in America and has been for decades.
    "No matter what good the opponent does, refuse to acknowledge it, and find something- anything- to criticize them for whatever they do."

    Thats why you know it was so successful.
    The Socialists can't criticize him over policy, the trade deals or the negotiating going on.............. so they are left with the plane.

    Just use the gifted 747 as a troop/cargo transport. One less aircraft we have to draft into service when needed.

    The plane is a symbolic gift at best, the thing is probably decades old and would have to be completely stripped of everything including the bugs in order to bring it up to current standards. Either way they brokered some good deals and brought some business to a few US companies.

    As was said, the Dems got nothing so instead of give any credit to the good coming out of the trip, da plane da plane, oh my God da plane.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    MAGA's TDS is the same as the progressives cry of any dissenting voice e.g. being "racist". Two peas in a pod, continually justifying unconstitutional/unamerican governance, only under different colored flags.

    Bullshit. Dissenting voice about policy is welcomed and encouraged. Constantly bringing someone up like a jilted school girl gets old.
