I LOVED Reading This, Hope You Do Too.

A Big Tip o the Hat to our friend Impertinent

Hopefully this will be going on a Loooong time. I love thinking about these self over-rated assholes having to deal with commercial flight over very long distances.
 
A Reuters filing en route to Asia showcases the bitterness, anger and seething rage of U.S. journalists who have been forced to fly First-Class Commercial to cover Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s Asia trip.h
State Department correspondents are used to the exclusive wide-body private charters of the U.S. federal government’s airline fleet.  Previous heads of the Department of State have flown aboard Air Force 3.  Normally a Boeing 757.  At the very worst Air Force 3 would be a C17 Globemaster.20 to
However, T-Rex is taking a smaller jet to Asia and only one journalist accompanies him.  To make matters exponentially worse, T-Rex did not select a journalist from the corporate stable of the refined and pedigreed media elites.

We can only imagine how Andrea Mitchell must be seething at having to take simple first-class commercial flight accommodations with ordinary people.  The scope of the almost unimaginable horror she has to face will soon pour from her pursed and vengeful lips.  We can predict a retaliatory report soon from the wrath of the ignored elitist within NBC.  This shall be, as they say, epic.
Secretary Tillerson has rebuked customs and norms.  The traveling correspondents will have to pass through customs and passport checks as if they are ordinary travelers.  There is a very real possibility no-one will recognize them or care diligently for their very individual and specific needs.
Can you imagine Mrs. Alan Greenspan flying all the way to Asia from the Eastern Seaboard and having to do that on a commercial flight?  My God, have we really dropped our standards of decency that far…

Oh yeah, the pontificating journalist elites are  pi**ed off.   After traveling with every possible indulgence aboard exclusive State Department accommodations with Secretary Clinton and Secretary Kerry, you cannot even fathom how angry they are right now without private dining, DoS chefs, shaved chocolates and Cristal mimosas.
None of this is me joking.  This bunch of snobs having to fly commercial is unheard of.
They are ready to tear into Secretary Tillerson in every single filed report.  Just watch what you see on TV:
(Reuters) U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is traveling to Asia this week accompanied by only one reporter, a White House correspondent from the Independent Journal Review (IJR), a digital news outlet founded in 2012 by former Republican political operatives.
The IJR said in a statement late Tuesday the State Department last week offered one of its reporters, Erin McPike, a place aboard the Secretary’s aircraft on his trip this week to Asia.
[…]  The State Department had previously told reporters covering Tillerson’s trip to South Korea, Japan, and China that he would not be taking reporters on his plane and that they would have to fly commercially, breaking with decades of precedent stretching back to Henry Kissinger.
Major news organizations complained, among them the BBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post and Reuters.
https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/andrea-mitchell-1.jpg
[…]  The State Department Correspondents Association, which represents reporters who cover U.S. diplomacy, said in a statement that it was “disappointed” Tillerson chose to travel to Asia without a full contingent of media “or even a pool reporter”.
“After saying it was unable to accommodate press on the Secretary’s plane to Asia due to space and budget constraints, the State Department offered a unilateral seat to one reporter,” the statement said.
“Several of our members have traveled commercially to meet Secretary Tillerson on the ground in Asia. We expect that the diplomatic press corps will be afforded access to Secretary Tillerson equal to that given to the reporter on the plane.”
A spokesman for IJR, Matt Manda, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether McPike would file pool reports to colleagues, or whether IJR had any comment on the SDCA’s statement.
For decades, secretaries of state have nearly always invited media to travel with them. In rare cases, particularly late in a secretary’s tenure, some outlets have declined the invitations, such as for former Secretary John Kerry’s December 2016 trip to Saudi Arabia.
Republican secretaries of state Alexander Haig, George Shultz, James Baker, and Condoleezza Rice routinely took 10 or more journalists on their overseas trips, even to conflict zones such as Lebanon and Central America.
Up through Tuesday, just hours before Tillerson was scheduled to leave, the State Department declined to confirm whether there would be any reporters on Tillerson’s plane.
Acting State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in a phone briefing with reporters onTuesday that the agency was considering “having a seat available” on his plane.
“We’ve been very clear, frankly, that this is a smaller footprint all around, and this is the Secretary’s decision, to travel with a smaller footprint,” Toner said. “To some degree, it’s a cost-saving measure.”  (read more)
The rest of the article is Reuters tearing into IJR for having the audacity to accept a seat on the flight with T-Rex.   This is like High School mean girls taken to exponential levels of vitriol and hatred.
This is going to be ugly.  Very, very ugly.

Things you won’t see when Secretary Tillerson is traveling.

    1. I was thinking that the pictures alone along with the slobbering , boozing lovers of all things killary and toasting to how sweet live is / was to be among the elites and the drinking / dancing partners of the willing whores of the DNC swamp loving incest herds of fornicating snakes. Whew! Would that be enough? NO.... NOW THE REVENGE OF THE SNOTS BEGINS..... day after day of more SHIT... more LIES....and of course more ANONYMOUS FORMER OFFICIALS CLOSE TO THE WH!!!!

    2. I hope they pour it on even harder now. They're pretty damn obvious even to libs. Harvard released a "study" that determined Trump is the most slammed president in history with 80% of the coverage negative. The other 20% was probably published at 2 am and gone by morning.

    3. Agreed. But 4 years will fly by in a snap. In my mind's eye, I picture Hillary waiting in the nearby woods - her wrinkled and aged face partially hidden in the shadows of a large hoodie cowl as she bides her time - think Luke Skywalker at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens... neither has aged particularly well, and we really don't want them returning again. *cough*

    2. I'm so disappointed to have not seen the entire flight crew mucking it up, belching, farting and consuming tremendous quantities of alcohol along with the elites. See..., no respect for our boys from any of them.

    3. Yea, someone had to stay sober? Imagine these worthless fucks partying on our dime and providing zero value. I can't possibly tell you how happy I am that these POS's have to fly commercial now. What's even juicier is I'll bet it never occurred to any of them that they'd lose their special flight status ! They are that fucked in the head ! Lol.

    5. What I love about them having to book using common web / smart phone apps is that it's going to affect the bottom lines of all the hypocritical rags that now have to pay out small fortunes for regular air travel when their readership is tanking along with revenues.
      In addition to all the extravagant per diems paid out to these selfish pieces of dog hair.... they'll have to hire travel staff to coordinate the arrivals and departures of AF1, 2 & 3!!!! Plus they'll demand they fly biz or first class. Far away from the sheep in the back who fart and weez and snore loudly!!! God the picture makes me giddy with uncontrollable laughter.
      Wanna bet..... they decide not to fly?
      Good luck with that..., since the ETA's of the POTUS are not generally public knowledge.

    6. IMP, I've been giddy since I read it. I've always said if it came to 'it' in the abstract, I'd be looking for media people, screw the politicians, let the riff raff handle them.

      Very good point on the ETA's I can't imagine how they'd handle that. They're certainly not going to be told about the ETA's of any of our traveling administration.

  4. Pelosi ran up a $10K bar bill on USAF-3. That is an awful lot of booze, if you ask me.

  5. Mustang, I found this looking around for what I remembered was 100k, but that's not just alcohol,

    In a press release summarizing the findings, Judicial Watch wrote that "the Speaker’s military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol."

The goofs that vote for these asshole should definitely deserve the maxipad and the pelosis they get. Piss on them..... let them eat cake , right? Fooking California sure has us all beat with the amount of assholes in government from one state.

    2. IMP, Yea, the people who actually believe any of them have an American's welfare or interest at heart are so far off the rails it is impossible to communicate with them. I know a bunch of em.

  6. Kid,
    I'll bet it never occurred to any of them that they'd lose their special flight status!

    Of course they never even considered the possibility! They've been living it up on our dime for decades, and that status gave them more arrogance than they already had in the first place because of their inner-circle status.

    1. AOW, I think that's true. Now they're going to have to fly well ahead of time or miss the event because they sure aren't going to be given ETA's as IMP pointed out.

    1. IMP, I won't speculate on the details, I will just say there is no amount of money that would get me to hop on the clinton train. It could show up at my front door with a check for 10 mil and I'd tell it to FO. I know up front none of those $ would be spent happily and in good conscience.

  8. Actually, I'm grateful that so many less parasites are on board. I think that's a good thing.

    1. Cube, It is definitely a good thing.

      fwiw - I would describe a parasite as some able bodied person on welfare/WIC. These media people are rich. I wold put in a class much much lower than parasite.

    1. Ron, And I don't think this is over by a long shot. I've always said that if it came to 'it', I'd be gunning for media people. I hate them. I think Trump feels that even moreso and I'm looking forward to him punishing them even more. I'm so happy.

    2. PS, I'll bet this situation even ends up in court somewhere, possibly the 9th circuit? Lol
