    He’s going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I’m calling it.

      Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:

      If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you’ll be able to tell what they’re going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric”.

      They’ll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts.

      (e.g.) “If they start talking about able-bodied people, it’s Medicaid.

    Its like he goes out of his way to project.

    Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?

    I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.

    He doesn’t actually care who or what is responsible as long as he can tell people it isn’t him.

    If he had half a brain he would just say investigations are ongoing whenever asked.

      No because the plan is to blame literally everything that goes wrong on minorities.

        You mean it’s another of those trans illegal immigrants that escaped from an asylum that worked in an airport control tower in between all the pillaging and raping? It’s crazy, how many are there of those anyway?

        Instead of Trump’s own major enshitification of the quality of government causing the morale of federal workers to plummet.

      Never give up a good or even bad opportunity to try and throw someone in front of a bus. An opportunity not seized is a opportunity missed.

      That together with the fact that people have been warning about this accident waiting to happen ever since the airport was built.

      I don’t even know how you factor in other travesties. Like letting all those J6 criminals out of prison. One of them already had to be put down by a cop during a traffic stop. How do you factor that, when the safest option was to keep them in prison?

      I hate Trump as much as anyone else here, but I fail to see how his FAA firings cause this accident. Can you explain how this is his fault?

      edit: Thanks for the downvotes assuming I’m a sealion, just because I asked a question.

        Trump loves to blame people for things they have no direct control over, like blaming Boden for the cost of eggs, while taking credit for anything positive that happens while he is in office that had nothing to do with him.

        I assumed OP was mocking that attitude, but could be wrong.

        Trump plays to the American egregor of the CEO as Kingmaker. Literally proposes frequently running the USA as a business.

        When you are the CEO the responsibility of the entire thing lies with you.

        Now I don’t agree with Trump, but it’s merely holding him to his own standards.

        That’s some stupid fucking horseshit. It would be nearly impossible to fire a large part of an organization without a noticeable effect. Here we have fatal evidence of that. Yeah people assume you’re coming in bad faith because how could we not?

          I’m all for making Trump look bad, so is you feel that this will damage him, I’m in. I just want to see some evidence or an ATC that would agree.

      There is a good chance this was caused in large part by Trump and his enshitification efforts. Right now the entire federal workforce is demoralized by various actions of Traitorapist Trump, degrading the quality of government across all levels. Air traffic controllers are part of the federal workforce. They were also short staffed, which in itself was likely cause by the poor morale. Blaming the hiring of minorities makes no sense given that a big part of the problem was not enough staff.

      Trump knows this and knows that other people will make that connection too, and so him blaming this on DEI was his way of deflect the blame away from his rapid enshitification of government.

        At the very least it’s another fact that will join him down into history. It’s not enough that he’s the worst president ever, we can tank his stats so no one ever comes close
