I have heard it all now.

An ex-Chief of Staff claims that the installation of the new flagpoles at the White House (specifically, the one on the South Lawn) are "dangerous", as they could interfere with Marine One takeoff and landing operatons.

You're telling me his current staff didn't plan where to put the flagpoles in such a manner as to AVOID such an issue?

Trump's new White House flags could be "dangerous"

This person who is worried about Marine One hitting the newly installed flagpoles is basing his concerns on his own level of incompetence.

But a gay flag would be safe.
Those marine pilots are pretty damn good and can avoid a flag pole.

POTUS isn’t using DEI pilots, we’ll be alright.

You're electronically banging your head because some frickin' guy voiced an opinion on flag poles? Ok I suppose.

Does he think they have some barely qualified pilot who they hired off tourist helicopter flights in Branson flying Marine One?

I couldn’t imagine being such a TDS cuck beta bitch that I’d take time out of my day to complain about an American Flag pole being installed at the White House. You got bullied a lot in school didn’t you?

The south lawn is gigantic so that is a dumb concern

This is stupid.

You left out the rest of his quote...

quote:

Commenting on the potential safety threat for helicopter landings, Mulvaney said: "I imagine they considered this, they'd be landing someplace else... but I'm looking at this going, as the chief of staff, who's in charge of military operations at the White House, 'where are we landing the helicopter without creating an increased risk for the president of the United States?' I don't know the answer to that yet."

At least the flags will let them know wind direction.

Imagine all the humiliation his wife and her bull dish out to him in that chair in the corner of the bedroom.

Mick Mulvaney warned that the flagpoles could pose a problem for landing the president's helicopter. "I see a problem for where they're supposed to land the helicopter — because this is right on the South Lawn, and I'm not really sure," he told NewsNation.



Man, thats some hard hitting journalism.

I’m guessing that big structure they are adjacent to is dangerous as well
