Nothing about the Venezuelan Air Force 1?

I don't know enough about world politics to know who's feathers this will ruffle.

We're getting close to kicking it off...😄

Now we'll have to pay to maintain it.

Benjamin Franklin was right when he wanted the national motto to be "mind your own business".

They seized it for obama.... it's loaded full of cocaine

In the Good Ole days, we'd fix the plane to where it would "Fall out of the sky" when certain persons were on it.

That thing has a 13 million dollar value
they best be paying the sales tax on that, reporting the value on personal income tax, and buying the registration/permits to be operating it

Pretty weak Air Force One

Maybe they are going to take the gang dudes from Colorado home in it?

Make law, seize plane from another country in another country……sounds legit

Not even law, just presidential decree.

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

Where'd all those russian owned megayachts end up?

 

[Gdogg]

Oddly enough, there's actual real precedent for this, if it had happened on US soil anyway. Civil asset forfeiture goes back to maritime law from the 1700s before we even declared independence and was invoked to seize ships flown under foreign nations. Generally it was to seize property from pirates.

I'm not sure how we justify it happening overseas though. Guess they're just banking on Venezuela not being in a position to do anything about it.

I'm guessing they are claiming illegally exported via shell company so the unexported it.

I phrased that poorly. I meant I wonder how they'll argue if challenged in court since it's based on EO which isn't law.

Ah, that's a good question.

I knew that guy and a few people that worked for him (season one, not the later seasons). Crazy fucks going out to repo planes that often times were left semi rotting at airports and owned by not exactly above board people.

Funny I’m going to a house that is owned by a Venezuelan Billionaire who’s in politics as we speak. His net worth is 5.2B. His son lives down the street in the small house. 🙃
