    Some people wish Boeing would have re-engineered the Queen of the Skies as a twin-engine craft.

    They actually did, but re-named it the 777. An airplane that seems much less queenly.

    Daily Kos was for me a secondary wake up when one cup of coffee didn't. But 'they' must have on Some Important Toes because now blocked here.

    I survive without it. Have VAST news media access across full political spectrum. More importantly, NO scientific publications are blocked here. My snuffling mainly driven by interest, but PriusChat often pushes me beyond.

    Thanks dudes.

    I had only one 747 flight, from Boston to Providence (RI) - so brief :p but enough time for cabin crew to dissuade me from going 'upstairs'.

    I would take Airbus 380 if opportunity comes, but they don't much go where I want to. I once chatted up a 380 crew in Beijing about ...things. That was great.

    BREAKING: New reporting shows Trump took his special young blonde aide with him to hide in the catering truck -- and left Steven Miller in danger!
    When Donald Trump was secretly whisked away from Air Force One in a catering truck last month because of a supposed Iranian assassination threat, only a tiny circle of aides was allowed to escape with him – and the passenger list says quite a lot about Trump's true inner circle.
    According to new reporting from The Washington Post, Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn't make the cut. Neither did Stephen Miller, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, communications director Steven Cheung or several other senior administration officials.
    But Trump made damn sure Natalie Harp came with him.
    Harp, Trump's famously smitten 35-year-old aide and constant companion, joined Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and former Trump body man Walt Nauta inside the catering truck that secretly transported Trump to a smaller Air Force C-32A.
    All three stuck with Trump at Mar-a-Lago during the wilderness years between presidencies, through impeachments and criminal investigations. Nauta was even charged alongside Trump in the classified-documents case.
    Harp, meanwhile, is Trump's “human printer,” perpetually at his side with a portable printer supplying him with news articles, emails and social media posts.
    NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan revealed that she left him intensely personal notes during the 2024 campaign, including one declaring, “You are all that matters to me.”
    When Trump's security detail had to decide who stayed closest to the president, the human printer and her large, mysterious mom-bag apparently weren't getting left behind.
    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also transferred to the C-32A, boarding separately in a manner that made him appear to be the senior official aboard.
    Meanwhile, the original Air Force One continued on with Rubio, Miller, Bessent and the entire White House press pool. Reporters believed Trump was still traveling with them and were reportedly instructed to close their window shades after boarding.
    That raises a serious question beneath the cloak-and-dagger spectacle: If intelligence indicated Trump's publicly identified aircraft faced a credible Iranian threat, what precautions were taken for everyone left aboard?
    Sen. Richard Blumenthal is now demanding a congressional briefing to find out.
    Trump finally addressed the operation Tuesday, saying the Secret Service made the decision and he simply followed its instructions. Then he offered a pretty strange defense of leaving everybody else behind.
    “I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk,” Trump said, “because that would be the plane that they would be more likely to go for.”
    He also explained that he faces threats because he's such an important president, comparatively speaking.
    “Any consequential president has a lot of threats,” Trump declared. “Non-consequential presidents don't get threatened. And I think that I may be the most consequential.”
    Yeah, Washington and Lincoln used to switch planes like that too. [​IMG]
    Whatever the security calculus, the passenger list offers a fascinating glimpse into Trump's strange little universe.
    When the presidential entourage suddenly shrank to a handful of people, the ones closest to Trump weren't necessarily those with the grandest titles, but those who had been personally closest and most loyal to him for years.
    Rubio is secretary of state. Miller is one of the most powerful architects of Trump's presidency. Natalie Harp carries his newspapers and once wrote that he was “all that matters” to her.
    When it was time to disappear into a catering truck, Harp went with Trump.
    For a president who has spent a lifetime measuring people by how faithfully they serve, flatter and defend him, there may be no more revealing passenger list.
    When Donald Trump thought the danger was real, he didn't just take his staff. He took HIS people.

    We are glad that Hegseth was not in Catering Box One. We don't like him.

    Black Sails had plenty o' other-than-heterosexual sex, providing more distraction for distractors if here in need.
