Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trumps Scottish resort

[apdst]

It is good for morale so it is all good right. Air force crews staying at luxury hotels, Pelosi's staff drinking all good for morale all paid for by in part you

**** their morale. Staff weenies aren't going to fight on a battlefield. I don't care if they're happy with their jobs...lol

Neither are C17 airplane crews

 

[iguanaman]

Air Force troops spent $3 million dollars at Trump's resort? Ain't...no...way...lol

Regardless of what they spent, it is against military regulations, crews must use military bases for layovers. This is more blatant corruption of our military by Trump's cabal.

 

[iguanaman]

Those troops probably had a good time, too. It was good for morale. Can't have that ****!!...lol

Reports I read said they felt out of place and did not even have proper attire. The whole affair is disgustingly corrupt. You seem to enjoy it for some odd reason.

One more, in a growing list of examples, of Trump profiting from being president. In this, military planes stoped at this commercial airport that just happens to be losing money but also is near Trump's golf course. This airport charges higher rates for fuel- - while military airports are easily available, at lower cost. If this airport closes due to losing money, it would negatively effect the ability of golf course guests to fly into the area.

What's not known is whether Trump directed the military to do this. However, the Pentagon refuses to answer Congressional questions on this matter.

I just started a similar thread. The American taxpayer is being used to bail out trump's failing businesses. It's actually criminal!

You got a link to those reports?

 

[lurchadams]

I’m no geography major but, Scotland doesn’t seem like a natural layover for flights between the US and the Middle East.

It's not. Before the trump administration, these supply flights and airmen stopped at military bases in Europe - at much less of a cost to the U.S. taxpayer.

You got a link to that specific regulation?

Corruption is not something you should be interested in?

Governmental employees using there position to enrich themselves is not an issue. Next bribes will become SOP and America will start growing bananas to match what will become

Corruption is. TDS allegedly stories not so much.

If air force crews are being redirected to stay at a luxury resort instead of regular hotels, to enrich a person in the government is that not corruption?

No, it's still just an If.

If it can be shown that the purpose was to enrich somebody, that would be corruption. I've not seen anything that suggests that happened.

From the article in post #1:
"...the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry — since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base."
"... the incidents raise the possibility that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat — the property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018."
While the claim is that Trump provided "cheap rates" is undercut by one of the crew that wrote:
"..the crew’s per diem allowance wasn’t enough to cover food and drinks at the ritzy resort {let alone the room}."



It's really true, your side, which railed against corruption {that ended up not being corruption} in 2016, look the other way when the corruption is Trump's.

Did you read words you didn't understand? You quoted something that literally means jack-**** and I have debunked, unless you have more information. I doesn't mean anything that he lands at an airport near his resort. Unless you have information showing the airport is giving the resort kickbacks, it's not benefiting from it.

Well having an air crew stop in a city drive 53.8 miles to stay at a luxury resort instead of a closer and more standard hotel would raise suspicions of something being up. Now that the luxury resort belongs to a very powerful governmental official adds more to the suspicion does it not.


The circumstantial evidence would certainly make most rational people question the intent

 

[prometeus]

:lol: I remember some of the press were furious because the President went somewhere without telling until after he had been there.

It seems like the aircraft the President is on should be flown to where ever the President wishes to go. I'm fairly certain it has always worked this way. That said, you could send a letter to the White House explaining to the pilot and co-pilot why they should fly Air Force One where you say it should be flown to. Good luck with that. :thumbs:

Why do you have to post such retarded crap? What the **** does Air Force ONe have to do with this thread?

The old if you don't agree with me you must not be rational argument.

Seems to me the TDS'ers are making judgments based on 5-10% of the facts. I don't know why Pence stayed where he stayed. Government has a travel office. It's their job to route, not mine.

Presumably they have most of the facts.

I said nothing about Pence, the OP article is about an Air force crew on a resupply mission to Kuwait piloting a C17,

I'm probably mixing two stories up. There is another where Pence was called out for the same thing.

If that might be so -- and you don't know -- then it would apply to Republican staff too. That's Congress and the Executive Branch Republican staff included with White House Staff as is presently applicable. Then we have the AVF whose only wins in several decades have been in electing Republican party presidents. The 2000 election in Florida was the AVF-GOP Division medal of honor it was. We all take risks each day btw. Each one of us.

 

[Praxas]

1. What does Prestwick Airport have to do with anything you're trying to assert? Unless you can show the air port is providing kickbacks to the resort, you make no point.

2. Providing military members cheap rates for a luxury resort is not a money-making scheme. It's called being considerate.

3. What a fail thread.

Please show where they are "cheap" rates compared to other accommodations that are APPROVED for government spending.

You cons have accepted corruption because your messiah Trump deems it so. Trump supporters have no ethics, morals or honesty.

I dont recon you did much deployed travel for your 'stint' dd you....

 

[Moon]

The issue is not that the air plane stopped in Glasgow, but that the air crew stayed at the Turnberry resort 53.8 miles from the airport. A luxury resort owned by Trump. I am sure there are plenty of hotels closer to the airport at more standard rates and expenses than a luxury resort 53.8 miles from the air port

This air crew was not flying in support of the President or of VP Pence but on a routine shipment of supplies to Kuwait




So from appearance the military is funneling members to stay at Trumps resort, on a regular basis, when it was not done before, to support Trump's business

On one flight. Be interesting to find out what the real story is.

That isn't how this works at all, especially not if we have to pay out our own pockets at some fancy resort, that is at least an hour away from where the plane is (which means over 2 hours in a vehicle just to get between the two places, rather than being able to be right there near the airport (which gives more time to actually do things you want to do).
