we have a systemic problem and it is not black and white It's Politicians. who are corrupt AF
What a huge B. Whose health and safety is not a priority? No discrimination but she wants to say that because she is black she deserves something special? No. A fine example of someone doing the job for personal glory, not for the benefit of the people.
This woman had tax issues before her election. You get what you vote for.
C’mon people ! What’s wrong with escaping the murder capital of the country in style?
The bar has dropped so low it's depressing.
Whatever. She just wanted to fly in first class. Some b.s. corruption at its finest.
When in doubt, use the race and gender card.
murder capital of America. When you get tired of it don't vote for Democrats
Nbc news needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
You should run for mayor in Baltimore
Didn't know airlines prioritized 1st class passengers for covid protocols. 🤔
wow she’s using her race to try to get out of her selfishness
It's nothing in compare to joe biden trips to nowhere on AF1 that cost taxpayers few dozens of million dollars each. He got kicked away after attended the QEII funeral for late showing up in the church service procession. Spending that much money to be only late arrival to the UK national funeral. proxession?
Wow so France is part of city business
30k is nothing, lol.
While her costs seem exorbitant, she’s clearly getting dragged over something that would barely be a blip on local news, never mind national.
This is what happens when a black woman thinks that she can get away with the same things that she has seen white men and women get away with for years.
🎈
This is what happens when you put a black woman in power
I live in China. Everyone here are taught to dislike Americans. But everyone loves USD.
– Some of us just wish to see the 100 USD bill before we pass away..
This doesn't look good
That’s my city all right! If we’re not in the news for our festivals it’s because of crime or corruption. Mind you Louisiana has had dozens upon dozens of our politicians go to jail or prison. So many had their hands in the king cake box sneakin’ a slice!
