I'm Pamela, Fly Me

Trump is replacing the current Air Force One with a new jet airliner with a gold-plated interior given to him by the State of Qatar, that polyp-shaped peninsular country known for funding radical Islamic groups.  Does Attorney General Pam Bondi know about this?  Absolutely - she apparently approved it!

But then, if you were an Attorney General who once worked as a foreign agent for Qatar for the really cool salary of $115,000 a month - not a year, a month - you'd approve this obvious violation of this emoluments clause in the Constitution too! 
I was still trying to figure out what to see about Trump's idea of reopening Alcatraz to put the worst of the worst criminals in.  He apparently got the idea from a TV screening of the Clint Eastwood movie Escape From Alcatraz, about the real-life breakout of three Alcatraz prisoners who likely drowned in the Golden Gate.   Then this happens.  Now, I always thought that the best idea for Alcatraz was to give it back to the Indians, who took it back for nearly two years beginning in 1969, as it would be too unfeasible to reopen Alcatraz as a prison.  But then I got to thinking - why not keep it open as an historic site and just keep Trump and Bondi there?
That would be a terrific tourist attraction.
