"Trump blames Biden's D.E.I. policy for air crash" (NY headline)

So we’re not allowed to criticize him for it? Has a quota of despicable behaviour been reached?

And in the LA fires, some conservatives on FOX, and Megyn Kelly made a thing about the female firefighters being ineffective. I think Trump avoided that particular one (he was too busy trying to blame Newsom), but the point is, woke will be used for every bad event from here on in.

Reddit, at least. I’ve seen upteen posts about various Trump firings over the last few weeks. The implication being that key safety positions that could have prevented this accident are now vacant.

It’s nonsense, of course. But the terrible media literacy that has been the hallmark of the right for so long started creeping into more liberal spaces 8 years ago and shows no signs of slowing down. Probably because it’s effective, but it’s still exhausting.

I’m sure there are tons of low information anti-Trumpers who saw one of those posts and believes Trump bears at least some responsibility. There’s even MORE low information MAGAs who totally belive Trump that this is all DEIs fault, but that doesn’t make me feel any better about anything.

It’s hard to believe that we have elected such a socially inept, politically ignorant, and intellectually moronic buffoon as the U.S. President … TWICE!!!
Would any other president have said this? I seriously doubt it!!! :rage:

NBC’s expert (Sully) said that jet liners are at about 300’ on approach to Reagan. Helicopter traffic is supposed to be at 200’ to avoid conflict with commercial traffic. It appears from video that the helo slammed into the the jet, which would indicate that they were out of their zone.

Poor kid.

Oh.

Golfclaps… Lots of

vs this:

Trump also mentioned Obama so presumably (in Trump’s mind) it was someone who is not suitable to be an ATC that was employed under Obama and moved to Reagan National under Biden.

Of course if the ATC was white son of a Millionaire who went to an Ivy league University it will never come out. Trump wants to cut Federal spending things like the FAA because rather than spend weeks of time and millions of $ finding out what really happened it is cheaper and better to declare it is the fault of someone Trump doesn’t like within hours.

Trump has issued an executive order declaring that the crash is Obama’s fault.

“Boy, the way Glen Miller played.”

Oh, I thought Shayna was referring to posters here. Complaining that random Reddit users say something is like complaining that Yahoo Answers (is that still a thing?) is inaccurate.

Shit, I was hoping Onion.

Stifle.

Has anyone determined that any of the pilots or the controller, was NOT a straight white male?

They’re on it:

As has been predicted, I can no longer determine what is satire and what is real anymore.

It’s not just that they’ll be checking for. From today’s presser:

They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualify for the position of a controller of airplanes pouring into our country, pouring into a little spot, a little dot on the map, a little runway.

Did someone use this phrase around Trump sometime, and he decided to apply it unironically?

David Halberstam must be spinning in his grave…

There was no doubt he would blame this on diversity, just like there was no surprise people would provide cover for Trump.
