Interior Bickering

The Pentagon is going out to buy/build two new Air Force One planes for the President.

However, this has become a hot topic now....because President Trump suggested a redesign of the colors on the plane.

He wants to dump the baby-blue color scheme, and go more 'colorful' (meaning something of a red, white and blue.

So, it's comical....yesterday, an amendment was attached to the Pentagon spending plan by a Democratic House member (Conn), which calls for congressional approval on “interior, paint and fixtures.”

Yes, you'd have a committee, or sub-committee in charge of Air Force One interior and exterior decoration.  You can imagine the hearings....the 'experts' called in.....the challenges involved. 

Will the amendment stand?  I have my doubts.  I just can't see Pelosi wanting to get into the middle of some interior/exterior decoration committee and having a public fight over a carpet change, from x-color to y-color. 

Ridiculous?  Yes, but that's the level of frustration that you have these days. Perhaps someone ought to suggest that all House and Senate interior/exterior schemes should be reviewed by the public, and they should face some public approval as well.
