So as a liberal someone needs to die to qualify for your empathy? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

As someone who constantly sticks up for the victim when someone is killed in a police shooting I'm surprised to see you poke fun at the people who've lost their jobs during the EPA's witch hunt against coal. I guess only those who fit your narrative are deserving of your support. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Was there another time when a foreign country interfered with our election? I really don't know. Can you point out another time when this happened? I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, just asking. We don't need a foreign government to interfere. We have the DNC for that. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

RIP John Glenn, last of the original seven astronauts

I remember when it first came out. I saw it in the theater. Almost 3 hrs. I didn't want it to end. If they had continued with Gemini and Apollo I would have sat there as long as it took. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne -

Trumbull County isn't a mess because of democrats. Why did steel vanish in America? Traficant was a crook for sure. (I grew up in Brookfield and worked in Sharon, another lost city) 1976 was well before steel left Northeast Ohio for good. Other rust belt cities re-made themselves after steel left. Democrats were seen playing their fiddles, Traficant being one of the worst. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Trumbull County is about 60 miles east of where I live. I do business in Trumbull County (at least I tried). The county is a mess and has been for a long time. Anyone promising better would be a powerful draw in this area. I seriously doubt Trump can undo the problems here. You are probably familiar with it's most famous politician, Jim Traficant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Traficant The area has been run by democrats for forever. Used to be a thriving area until steel left. Now it's just rust belt. Sad really. Think a smaller version of Detroit. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Doesn't matter. Everything is just going straight into the shitter anyway: http://www.politico.com/blogs/donald-trump-administration/2016/12/oklahoma-ag-pruitt-epa-chief-232319 \ Excellent news! It's about time someone brought some balance to an out of control agency. What exactly do you feel is out of control? And I'm not asking for your bitch list, just pick one and properly defend your point as to how that measure is bad for the country. Let's talk about coal. Since I live close to West Virginia it has an effect on our local economy. http://www.governing.com/gov-data/other/coal-plants-to-shut-down-from-EPA-regulations.html The EPA is beholden to no one. They make rules and economies are left in ruins. http://www.forbes.com/sites/markhendrickson/2013/03/14/the-epa-the-worst-of-many-rogue-federal-agencies/#52e11a95beb8 Please don't dent the planet.

Kahn caused an ice age? Seriously? Also, I'll suggest that the typoe of farming you say has an effect on the environment didn't take hold until the end of WWII. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

1: What did man do to cause the mini ice age starting about 1300 ad.? During that time all kinds of natural disasters occurred lowering the population by millions. 2: What then did man do to cause the end of it? It ended about 1850. Why did it end?

I know of nobody who thinks Trump is anything short of FUBAR. The votes came from those who deemed Hillary to be significantly worse. Or couldn't stomach the thought of Obama ver. 3 Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I have read that there are always two so one can be used as a decoy as well as a backup in case one is undergoing maintenance or repairs.

OK...well I didn't realize there were 2 being built. According to Politifact... How much will the project cost? The Air Force has published a budgetary document that says research, development, testing and evaluation of the new Air Force Ones -- officially known as the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization -- will cost $2.87 billion between fiscal years 2015 and 2021. However, the project is expected to extend beyond 2021, and experts told PolitiFact it would likely require another $1 billion in subsequent years to finish the job. The Teal Group has estimated that the project will require an additional $858 million between fiscal years 2022 and 2026. That adds up to a grand total of $3.73 billion over 12 years. That’s not "more than $4 billion," as Trump said, but it’s reasonably close -- and it’s no secret that defense contracts have a history of escalating in cost over time. Already, in response to inquiries from the media after Trump’s tweet, an Air Force spokesman told reporters to expect the interim $2.7 billion figure "to change as the program matures." So as a raw number, Trump’s $4 billion figure is in the ballpark. Now...let's think about how much (2) AF1s get used. Certainly not like your typical commercial airliner. In fact, I'll wager it's a small percentage in comparison. I might even go so far as to say they're hangar queens. 30-year life span...hardly. And, do we really need two? Hell, the Cuba you guys love had the official funeral procession car break down during the procession. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Perhaps. Or maybe he's decided that the last 8 years of allowing the US to be pushed around aren't in our nation's best interests. Nothing like keeping them guessing and at the same time achieving the goal of watching every detractor lose their minds. 2 for 1? You keep thinking Trump is stupid. It's typical liberal behavior to assume they know what's right and everyone else is wrong. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Stop using Drumpf's bullshit numbers. 747: $357M AF1: 2 for $1.65B, or $826M each AF1 costs 2.3 X cost of 747 Special features on AF1: http://people.howstuffworks.com/air-force-one4.htm ETA I learned the model # of AF1 is officially "VC-25": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_VC-25 That's why I asked for an explanation. Seemed far fetched to me. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Ahem . . . because it's NOT a "standard" 747-800. To wit, the money isn't the airframe. It's all the goodies inside. I thought you guys wanted to cut defense spending? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

People in general ARE assuming he's stupid. The thing is, we also know he's a con-man. I don't think it's a stretch to consider Trump has recognized the power making a tweet and the effect it can have on the market. To say the least, the potential is YUGE. Your side assuming he's stupid is what got you into this mess. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I spent 30 yrs in US gov't. contracting. Something tells me that Boeing has a very nice cancellation clause in any of their contracts with the US gov't. Jerry Baumchen I'm sure they do...but it's not 4 billion. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

So someone will need to explain to me why AF1 is 8 times more expensive than a standard 747-800. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
