Jonathan Kamens 86 47@georgetakei *sigh* I know the author of this post is being hyperbolic for effect (or they don't understand the rules they followed in the military), but, in fact, government employees visiting contractor sites can absolutely "accept a cup of coffee and a doughnut," both because they are below the $20 threshold (they are de minimis) and because they would typically be offered to anyone in that context, i.e., they aren't targeted at the fed.
Facts matter, y'all.

@georgetakei Why does this matter? Because when you make the rules surrounding gifts to federal employees sound unreasonable by lying about them, you make it _more_ likely, not less, that people will look at what Trump is doing and say, "Meh? Who cares. The rules are stupid, anyway."
Dan, some WH good nuz?@jik @georgetakei Donut and cofveve under 20$? Not for long!

Grift aside, my question is, "would the jet even be up to spec for AF-One?":
* Does it have all the comms facilities
* Does it have the nuclear "flash" paint under the livery
* Does it have the anti-SAM/anti-AAM countermeasure systems
* Etc.
And, where it has the necessary features, are those features implemented up to the same specifications that the ones delivered to USAF from Boeing are (if so, who leaked the full-compliance specs to Qatar)? I'd also wonder whether those features would be ripped out at end of Trump's term, since they'd normally be of a nature that a "civilian" would probably be breaking laws to have them in their possession.
All that aside, I'd love if Trump's AF1 lacked the USAF-spec countermeasures…

climate voter/degrowthist@georgetakei Yep. I was a contracting officer and could not accept any gifts. There may be a dollar limit now but very low.
Jaime Robertson@georgetakei Trump, possibly: “Well, it was made in America, I’m just bringing it back home.”
@JamesPadraicR I read this in his voice.
Mrinappropriate@georgetakei When he said he’d #draintheswamp his #MAGA fans failed to realise he meant that he’d drain it of funds.
