How does that cost 750k
America is involved
100% that same guy will go on another cruise still and probably catch something else. Way to waste fucking $750K instead of feeding the poor.
Or, hear me out, we could have given that to the billionaires and made another trillionaire!
Why is this framed with “The Trump Administration” and mentioning a private yacht, as if this was an example of corruption?
The State Department is lead by Marco Rubio, who was elected in a bipartisan 99-0 Senate vote.
Rescuing US citizens who are stuck abroad is one of its core responsibilities.
There are no available commercial travel options on Piticairn Island.
And Britain (whose territory it is) has demanded from the US that they get her.750k is not reasonable.
About 1/4 the cost of a single Tomahawk missile.
War materials are marked up for sure. That doesn’t excuse the government paying excessive prices for other services. You can bet this administration is taking kickbacks from this. Not a doubt about it. Everything, like nucky thompson in boardwalk empire on a national scale. Except obviously dumber and meaner and old and demented.
Oh please. When the US and Israel attacked Iran and Iran fought back by attacking the gulf countries, the US abandoned all its citizens and told them to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY via commercial airlines while knowing full well the airspace was closed and all flights were cancelled. Other countries not involved in the war chartered flights for their citizens, but the US only evacuated families of government employees and left all expats living and working in the Gulf to fend for themselves.
These small expensive operations are for progranda purposes only! They don’t give a flying fuck about their core responsibility of rescuing US citizens stuck abroad, and they certainly don’t give a shit when Israel murders US citizens. This is pure propaganda for those willing to believe the US rescues its citizens.
750k? What? Who are the contractors involved? This is corruption. Motherfucker I will got get that guy for 10k.
Seems pretty reasonable honestly. She’s being snubbed because she didn’t disclose her illness when she was supposed to, can’t really blame anyone but her there, but doesn’t mean she stays there forever.
