I don't think he's going to only go after Venezuela. I can only imagine the ways that petty, vindictive motherfucker is plotting against the people of this country.

And the airport shuts down for security reasons for some time begire and after Air Force one arrival.
You need to plan to arrive at other times.
This actually looks innoccuous to me.

It doesn't have quite the impact of, say, when Bill Clinton met then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the west side of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport between 7 and 8 PM on June 27, 2016. That really got the Pukes' panties in a wad.

...that it was reported that Trump's plane was being repaired and he was using Epstein's plane?

Just maybe that they would end up at the same place at the same time?

That whole mess started to unravel publicly and bigly when Butterfield revealed the existence of the secret taping system and SCOTUS ordered the release of the tapes. It's beginning to feel kind of like that. I don't think the flight coordination is a big deal; it might have been just that the pilot wanted Epstein to know that their arrival at PBI would be affected by Trump heading there at the same time (that would be public information disseminated by the FAA). The important thing is that what might have been an innocent and irrelevant scheduling matter is being made public and scrutinized as if there were something sinister about it. At this point every circumstance linking Epstein and Trump in any way will be publicized and reviewed, and that's not a good thing for Trump.

And I go there after reading the Raw Story article several times. There is just very little here ...
And throwing up a label of 'sordid news' - in effort to 'punch up' ...

I don't know - maybe this just IS what 'reporting' is these days ... But the 'hair on fire' for this particular bit - seems so entirely performative.

If AF1 is flying in, it slows things down at the airport it's going to. That's what this sounds like. Avoiding crossing paths with AF1 can help remove holdups and other airport issues.

I'm not seeing any links to anything scandalous there.

Truly a dumb fuck this pilot and he just had his 1st Class Medical renewed. I won’t post his airman information because I’m not that guy.
