Airline crash. The bodies aren’t cold yet.

Terrible airline/holicopter midair crash just happened and without knowing the details Trumpster is blaming DEI and using this as a political tool.
This is an example why the trump haters hate Trump. If he found an ounce of class in that fat Orange body, it would be lonely.

Let’s get the facts first? Agree that DEI needs to go away, but wow.

He doesn't need facts. He needs a scapegoat, so he can sling bullshit about his common sense.

He also blamed Obama, Biden and the military and he has Couchfucker out there parroting his words. It's very disappointing.
This is the kind of situation that a leader should be leading in. He didn't need to say anything other then the facts, and that it was tragic.


Instead, he is using as a soapbox to blame Obama, Biden, DEI, and spread hate.


This is our glorious leader! seig heil trump blah blah blah blah
It was embarrassing. He literally knew nothing about the particulars. The mistake could have been made by a 45 year old white male with a perfect record.
... Calling out the problems and culprits of the crash.

... Have enough staffing of professionals who can control
the air traffic...

... President Trump is Correct about this...

Tower was understaffed, let's start with facts and see where the problem actually lies.

I'm sure a lot of people here worked a job that was 'fully staffed', but you really needed more bodies to get the job done.
So when you are working something that is 'under staffed', it is really critically under staffed.

It hasn’t dawned on many that you NEED a certain amount of people, material and funds to keep the system functioning properly regardless of who’s in charge. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ether a fool, or is certain that you won’t be around to dispute it.
Making a mule do twice the work for 1/2 of his feed is guaranteed to kill the mule. But you save on feed, so there’s that.

The transponder wasn’t responding and the pilot was a tds infected trany. Who’da ever thunk putting a mentally ill person in charge of a 20 million dollar death machine was a bad idea? Yay diversity!

Maybe Super Trumper has a future being a NTSB investigator, because they don’t seem to know the “culprit” quite as quickly as Trump.

Can you guys EVER call a spade a spade!? It was an idiotic and embarrassing display!

Perhaps they have built too much shit around DC airports, military bases, and too many houses and people, I was in Reston,VA, last year, and the population density is nuts.

The ATF located some of its offices out of DC and into West Virginia, perhaps the US Government should be more spread out to reduced Air Traffic in DC, or locate the President elsewhere to reduce the need for so many Helo flights in and out.

And let me apologize in advance for trying to find a solution, instead of uselessly pointing fingers at someone who had no influence over an accident.
