the corpse at every funeral, and apparently the downed aviator at every rescue mission!

just sayin'

And they did not want this pilot to voice his objections in public.

Cover for something else.

Tin foil hat time!

whatever reason, was not supposed to be up there.

I once became aware of an incident at the beginning of Desert Shield/Desert Storm when a new wing commander (O-6) went up in one of his B-52s in the copilot slot, in the first wave of strikes. He was not supposed to be up there cause he knew some really crucial stuff, and he could have been a real prize if captured.

I never found out the upshot of the incident, but have wondered about this since the news broke.

This whole thing is idiotic.

And, heaven forbid if they are black or in some way injured … can’t be seen with those types

…be something less than complimentary to trump? Might they actually question the mission or its planning?

Where are the rescued downed pilots?

It seems that if Trump is not sleeping through meetings where major decisions are being made or throwing screaming temper tantrums, then someone else is in charge. He needs to be removed before he launches nuclear war!

it needs to be unplugged before it launches

So the service men could be rescued

😒

Hindsight is 20/20, maybe they should have sent him out to the course to hit some dropped balls.

... before the last commercial break. Ratings, man, RATINGS!

Other than not telling him where they are really meeting and having a decoy team meet with Trump to keep him occupied, how is this possible.

He doesn't really know how things work, so it's probably not that hard to divert his attention.

…it’s probably far easier than we could imagine.

and as mentioned below, they probably distracted him fabric swaths and marble samples for the ballroom or the Kennedy Center

Kept him busy for hours.

How?

A shopping cart full of McDonalds.

There is serious concerns that there never were any downed pilots but this was an operation to seize uranium from Iran.

Did they ever release the names of the downed pilot and navigator?
Ranks?
Cities or states they were from?

Medical condition?

Just asking questions.

Which is why I think the rescue story is bullshit.

She’s 42 now and seems to be doing well. She was used by Dick&W and an overzealous press.

As of late 2025, Jessica Lynch, 42, is a motivational speaker, advocate for women veterans, and substitute teacher living in West Virginia. A former POW rescued in 2003, she holds degrees in education and communication, works with the West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance, and travels to share her story of resilienc

Because it seems there are no interviews or news reports about or with them.

Seems plausible that if there were downed airmen, and they were rescued, they might not be amiable to saying good things about the crazy idiot who started the war.

and it's in a mausoleum.

C 130s destroyed is never a good sign of success.
Was that the blueprint for this fiasco?
The Wizzo likely died and it's a cover-up!
The pilot?
I do not trust our government to provide truthful, accurate information about anything!

Last time I checked, Iran was under a severe drought and that ground those downed MC-130s were on didn't look very muddy to me.

I have an idea for a song.

They kept him out of the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

Pathological Narcissist

Somewhat comforting to know there are a few people in there who know that and actually worked to get info to solve the problem rather than letting Mr Rash Judgement get involved and make it a mess none of them would survive.

You don't have to answer that question. It was rhetorical.

he would just stroke out when he's out of control!!!

If the "aides" can keep him out of a room in the White House, then what else do they keep him from doing/not doing?

Paging Stephen Miller...

In 100 years historians will look at this period in amazement and wonder why no body did shit to stop him. Every single government worker who has enabled his insane destruction at a world wide level should be seen as the classic "Benedict Arnolds" of this century.

By that time the influence of his enablers and the enablers themselves will be long gone. With nobody to obscure the truth, historians will be able to put together the facts from remnants of evidence.

Records of stock market changes, Trump statements, that influenced the market and Trump family wealth growth will tell that story.

The handlers and criminals will not be able to hide all the facts. There will be records of broadcasts. There will be books. There will be records in other countries.

Future historians will be able to put together who worked behind the scenes and why.

Richard Clarke wanted the large monitor to display intelligence feeds. Mrs. Cheney insisted that the monitor be tuned to CNN.

I am going by my memory in supplying the foregoing anecdote. I am sure that I read it somewhere shortly after 9-11. It may not be true.

Of interest is that the room might have been the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. That room was beneath The East Wing, all of which is now gone because of Trump.
