The same Qatar that gave Trump a free jet? I'm shocked... Well not that shocked.

It used to be the US building bases in other people's countries. How the turn tables.

Trump is so "AMERICA FIRST" that he's letting foreign militaries to set up soverign bases here!

So so so so much sketchy illegal shit is gonna go through there lol

What are the chances the Qataris are used to deploy drones on people under the guise of "training"? (My cynical mind at work here.)

..what

America first! Unless their check clears, then it's fair game for anybody.

Currently near the top of !nottheonion@lemmy.world:

Alabama senator wants anyone practicing sharia law immediately deported.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Qatar

Sharia is a main source of Qatari legislation, according to Qatar's constitution.[7][8] Sharia is applied to statutes pertaining to family law, inheritance, and several criminal acts (including adultery, robbery and murder). In some cases in Sharia-based family courts, a woman's testimony is worth half a man's and in some cases a female and male testimony is not accepted at all if the witness is not deemed reliable.

Idaho Most Hateful State In US, Analysis Of Hate Map Shows

The Southern Poverty Law Center's 2018 Hate Map shows growth in alt-right white supremacy and anti-Muslim groups.

I can but imagine the delightful interactions to come.

EDIT: Well, maybe the people in question will stay on-base. Germany had some facility at another USAF base that they used for training that IIRC they shut down due to military spending cuts a few years back. I dunno if the people there stayed on-base or what. If you figure that Qatar will probably do something similar, maybe give some idea of the model.

A facility at Holloman AFB, in New Mexico. Germany closed their facility in 2019, and another at Fort Bliss, from said military funding cuts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holloman_Air_Force_Base

In March 2013, it was announced that German Air Force units at Fort Bliss will transfer to Holloman later that same year; this was to end the German Air Force presence at Fort Bliss dating back to 1956.[19] In 2015, due to funding constraints on the planned new facilities in Europe, the German Air Force Air Defense school was to stay open at Fort Bliss until 2020.[20] On March 13, 2019, after 27 years in southern New Mexico, the German Luftwaffe ceased flight training at Holloman AFB.[3]

So that's what Idaho's been missing.

That 747 is getting amazing ROI

A Qatari base on US soil? Wtfbbq

Rural Idaho is sure to love their new neighbors. Hope they keep their I Voted for This flags high.

Make absolutely no fucking sense.

Imagine if Obama had done this

My mind is this 🤏 fucking close to declaring my reality is false

Oh, I'm sure that will go over well with the notoriously culturally accepting and tolerant folks of Idaho.

Wonder if they’ll deport the Qataris when the building is finished

Wow. RepubliQans you just keep getting prouder don't ya.

Are they bringing their slave labor to build it? Or are Americans to be their slave labor?

They know Qataris are Muslim, right?

I hope they keep their immigration documents updated otherwise someone's gonna call in an anonymous ICE tip.

I'm sorry what?

These are the people that "gifted" trump the jet, right?

Trump hates America so much that he makes a mockery of it.

What the absolute fuck???

Are we "great" again yet?

Will they have to shave their beards?

I wonder when Bill Burr is gonna land in there with his helicopter to deliver them some free speech comedy! Maybe he can bring Kevin Hart and Pete Davidson and Dave Chappelle.

Will Snoop Dogg get down?

Fuck this timeline.

So this is the quo for the Jet the criminal made for the US

I had to check that the wasn't The Onion. smh

Quid pro quo.

"America First!"

Republicans are so corrupt and pathetic.

This must be what the Okinawans feel
