What the hell does this mean? Why does Trump mention Biden and D.E.I. in the context of this accident? Would the accident have been avoided if D.E.I. didn’t exist? Or is Trump just mean and has lost it?
It means that Trump, in full Trump fashion, will blame anything and everything on Biden and the Democrats because he’s a whiny little bitch who never takes responsibility for anything.
He also brought up Obama.
Something bad happened and is in the news. To Trump, this is an opportunity to make himself look good and blame people he doesn’t like. Lather, rinse, repeat.
From what I’ve heard and read about air traffic controllers, they start their careers at smaller, less busy airports, and work their way up to larger airports as they get more experience. Reagan National Airport sounds like one of the most challenging environments on the whole system. I’d be surprised if someone hired under Biden would already be working in such a difficult place.
If the press calls him on his bullshit like some fantasize, they will be immediately banned and replaced, and the only sources for his words will be complete suck-ups. The only real choice is “damn bad” and “even worse”.
Because a very large number of White Americans, deep down, really think that Black people and other POC are inherently inferior and incompetent. Any attempts to put them in charge is asking for disaster. So if something bad happened, it was probably because a Black guy was put in a position he was unqualified or incapable of doing.
DEI: If something bad happens, it’s because black people, brown people, women or gays have been allowed to take the place of the more qualified white man.
Whether it’s the FAA, your local schools and libraries, the military, grocery prices, a job you hate or anything else that you find to be a problem in your life, it’s the fault of black people, women, gays and Latinos. It most definitely wasn’t like this when straight white men ran things.
Their dog whistles are becoming louder.
Apparently he’s blaming disabled FAA employee(s), so I guess he couldn’t find a black person
Well, a Blackhawk was involved, so close enough.
He’s a despicable piece of shit and he is the leader of the Basket of Deplorables. They love blaming brown and black people for anything wrong.
First of all, thank those of you for watching it, so the rest of us wouldn’t have to. I saw secondhand that one of the quotes was that it was a “pilot problem from the standpoint of helicopter”.
I wish I believed that that was a misquote.
Chances are, there are women, minorities or disabled people that are working for the Airport or with the military base.
Crying “Woke” or “DEI” was always a cover for bigotry.
It really delegitimizes anyone who isn’t a straight able-bodied white man. It opens up the box to people wondering if they can really trust the person running things if they’re not a straight white man, or that black woman sitting in the next cubicle at work, or the autistic person sitting next to them in the university classroom.
If you blame everything on DEI long enough, it slowly does the work of turning more white people into white supremacists, more people looking down on disabled people, “othering” LGBTQ people, etc. It’s a win-win-win for the despicable white supremacists like Trump. People don’t even realize they’ve become racist, ableist, sexist, homophobic. They’re just blaming “DEI” for all their problems.
That is quite funny.
I just can’t understand why a majority of Americans voted for somebody to be their president who completely lacks any ethic qualities. Those who voted for him were not only white supremacists. How could you vote for a president who despises you?
Now he doesn’t even wait for investigation results, he hurls his blames at controllers who probably go through hell anyway after the crash.
Some Evangelicals see Trump as their Saviour. They should consider whether he is not Satan himself.
Non-DEI Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on the accident: “I don’t want to go into too much detail about the information we have from the FAA, but obviously it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that.”
I’m glad he cleared that part up.
Because it’s not fun if it’s not a horse race.
When it comes to sports, logic goes right out the window and we’ve spent a couple of centuries shifting our view of politics from something academic to something you broadcast and commentate on like a game.
If the home team guy who wins all the points is abusive to his wife, that’s a private concern and irrelevant to whether he’s bringing his A game to the court or not. If Trump is scoring all the headlines then he’s winning the game.
Now? You’re talking about the man who took out a full page ad 25 years ago calling for the execution of 5 young men for a crime they didn’t commit.
But Trump has greatly expanded his DEI polices beyond those of President Biden. His hiring net spreads wide to enfold the untrained, unqualified and incompetent as well as those with severe attitude problems. We should shower him with prayer and moments of silence.
And he still insists he was right about that.
