These cruel, heartless lies by Trump and his evil surrogates about this tragedy have finally pushed me over the limit. Every time I think this orange polyp on the anus of humanity has gone as low as he can go, he manages to dig himself further into the slime. For my own sanity, I’m just going to have to call a moratorium on reading about this wretched scumbag.
Shades of Clarke and Dawe “The Front Fell Off”
A real POTUS, if pushed to give a response, would say that they feel terrible for the victims’ families and that it is a tragedy, and will give all support they can to the investigation and any changes that experts say must be made to prevent a similar tragedy from happening in the future.
Trump says, “I only heard about this 5 seconds ago but I know Woke did it.”
Trump may be wrong that Biden’s DEI programs caused this accident, but he is not wrong that the Biden Administration’s actions are directly responsible for this accident. David Sirota explains.
A good argument can be made about Biden’s role in this tragedy, though your own citation states that a Republican-led House failed to push through a bill proposing to resolve the issue in 2023. There is plenty of blame to go around in a thoughtful discussion.
You’re not going to get that discussion in this political environment. There doesn’t seem to be any effort from the new administration to actually try to resolve the issue. It doesn’t fit the Project 2025 agenda.
Wow, that is quiet the stretch. That bill was not specifically to authorize the additional slots ar Reagan - that is addressed in one page of a 409 page bill. Specifically starting on page 163 and ending on page 164, tucked between section 501 “ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICE OF AVIATION CONSUMER PROTECTION” and section 503 “Refunds for cancelled or significantly delayed or changed flights”.
Plus the bill passed the house 387-26 and the senate 88-4 - way beyond veto-proof majorities.
How did I know last night that it would be Bieeeden’s fault? I’ll bet stuff that all these idiot cabinet members screw up months or years from now will obvs be Biden’s fault. Amirite?
This is Fascism 101. The others will be blamed for everything, even things they had nothing to do with, in order to continue to escalate.
Harkens back to Trump saying: “This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we’ve ever seen, from the standpoint of water.”
Don’t care. You want to blame the feckless Democrats too? I’m all for that. The fact Still Remains that the increased traffic despite how dangerous it was was pushed through and signed into law under Biden. This accident isn’t on Trump no matter how anyone wants to spin it. And I say that someone who loathes him.
Oh, I’m not blaming trump. I just think him rushing the camaras before any real info is out was a disgusting performance. Blaming Biden and ahemm, people-twump-sees-as-unqualified i.e. not white christian cis male maga trump worshipping trolls was beyond sick.
As I posted a few weeks ago:
People seem to see only what they want to see.
Who here has said the accident was on Trump??? The only complaint here is that Trump assigned blame to women and minorities - you know, DEI hires.
I see lots of finger pointing. And I said at the jump he’s wrong to blame DEI hires for this. He’s a buffoon though, so what did anyone expect? Is there anyone who thinks he grew decorum over the past few weeks? Ha.
He said the same thing about the F.S. Key Bridge collapse last March. As I understand his “argument” in both cases, he’s claiming that D.E.I. led to people being hired and/or promoted who couldn’t do the job, an assumption obviously offensive on more than one level.
The accident was NOT the result of increased traffic of commercial jets, i.e. the jets transporting the corrupt Congress members to which you allude.
It was the result of the presence of one commercial jet and one military training helicopter.
Your entire argument falls apart when we look at the actual facts.
I’m sorry, where?
It’s like trump gathers up his closest advisers every morning and asks them how he can be a bigger asshole than the day before.
Now they’re saying that there was only one air traffic controller on duty instead of the usual 2. Whether that was the cause, I have no idea.
It’s not just Trump who was blaming D.E.I. Trump, at his news conference, called on the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Defense, and the Vice-President, each of whom replayed Trump’s D.E.I. blame game with Stalinist flattery of the old man.
