Trump could be making a major mistake today, as big as Obama's "beer gate" fiasco.

[IM2]

Conservatives call out their own. We are not liberals.
In another thread - you would be calling ME one of those "vocal cattle".
Which I understand, it is how your side operated, so you would think that.
But we don't - I just showed you by this thread

No you don't. If you did, Trump would not be president.

 

[Zincwarrior]

President Musk got the existing FAA head to resign so he is just CYA'ing.

 

[IM2]

~~~~~~
The butt hurt Neo-Marxists seek to find anything to detract from the good work Trump has done in the short 9 days in office. At least Trump has an opinion on what may has happened... Joey B., would have avoided the media press questions and called a "Lid".

Trump has not done a good job thus far.

Trump blaming the air traffic collision on DEI hiring.
Not smart at all.
His answer to a reporter about how he can blame this on DEI if he, by his own words, the investigation is just underway as to how this happened. - the answer - "Because I have common sense".
Well, sorry Mr. President, but it is common sense not to make pre-emptive claims about something BEFORE you know the facts. That is what Obama did in beer gate, and he had to publicly apologize for his stupidity for doing it.
What if the people in the air tower were all experienced, long term controllers?
What if the 3 airmen in the black hawk were all in the military before Biden's moronic DEI initiatives??

He could be setting himself up for a major scandal if the facts are not relevant to DEI hiring. As well as hand his adversaries a bag full of ammunition to rightfully use against him.

Not smart. At all.

He's a moron. But we all knew that.
Surprised he didn't try to blame Democrats straight away.

Between him and Hegseth...clowns. Totally unfit for the jobs.

 

[sealybobo]

not much improvement over the last one we had?...

This is all Trump's fault. All the people he's firing or quitting because they don't want to work for Trum. Trump and Elon attached the guy who was heading the FAA right?

Federal Aviation Administration Chief Michael Whitaker resigned from his position just 10 days before the deadly plane and Black Hawk helicopter crash over Washington, DC, Wednesday.

Whitaker — who held the post for only a year and had four years left in his term — announced he would step down after President Trump was sworn in, leaving the FAA without a leader

Chris Rocheleau — a 22-year-veteran of the FAA — was last week sworn in as deputy administrator, putting him in charge in an acting capacity, however, the Senate has yet to confirm a permanent replacement.

Newly-confirmed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy declined to answer reporters’ questions Thursday about the state of the agency’s leadership at the time of the crisis.

Elon Musk, a close Trump advisor who also heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had called for Whitaker’s firing after he proposed more than $600,000 in fines for SpaceX — Musk’s aerospace firm.

It wouldn’t matter if the three helicopter pilots had joined the service during a prior administration. They likely serve for four years during the Biden era of DEI.

Which means that if they were white, they were likely denied training and promotion opportunities, and if they were people of color, they probably were given extra training and promotion opportunities. If they were trannies who were not competent, they would not have been let go, which may have directly led to this accident.

The leaders above them are carefully selected to “look like America.” Apparently, the people who ran the Biden administration America appears to be filled with transgender and overwhelming majority of people of color.

Any program that puts people in positions of higher responsibility based on anything besides merit is doomed cause these kind of problems.

Complete, unmitigated, brainwashed, gaslighted bullshit.

 

[g5000]

As if there were no crashes before diversity initiatives.

Oh for god's sake. Stop introducing common sense, logic, and critical thinking into this conversation! You're annoying the natives.

Clearly the walls are closing in.

Struck a nerve, I see.

DEI started before Biden. And since white women have benefitted the most from the policy, whites were not denied anything. DEI is not just about race, but it is easy to race-bait dumb white racist males who have an entitlement mentality.

As for your last sentence, America is doomed because it has placed people in positions of higher responsibility based on having white skin and a dick.

Oh that's another one. Pete. Just wait till bad shit starts happening to him. He will blame Pete's predessessor Lloyd Austin. Can you believe I don't even know the name Lloyd Austin?

Did you hear Trump's White House Press Secretary? They ask her about the daily events all she can do is blame Biden. Biden did this, Biden did that. At what point will this admistration start taking responsibility? I thought on day one.

I see what you did there.

If it was white people who crashed the helo, it wasn't their fault.

If it was darkies who crashed it, they were too inferior a race to benefit even from extra training.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

After the FAA went out of their way to announce hiring criteria of DIVERSITY, they deserve such scrutiny.
DEI must DIE

To which I certainly agree. DEI must Die.
But DEI may have played absolutely no role in this.

THE big questions of the day.
1) WTF was a military training exercise doing where it took them into the direct paths of commercial flights. This would be level one grade school safety rules.
2) Clearly there is an error factor by air traffic control. JOB ONE of ANY air traffic control is elevation control.
A Helicopter is a 360 degree flying machine, so air traffic control may not be able to react in time to a black hawk pilot making quick elevation changes - which is why it would be OBVIOUSLY imperative to communicate elevation parameters which were obviously not communicated.
3) Apparently a part of the training exercise was to be using night vision flying. Totally necessary training. But engaging in that in direct paths of commercial flights???? Yeah... hell no.

If DEI played a role here - it will be a HUGE win for the death of DEI.
But no one knows that yet. And Trump pre-emptively saying that could be a very big mistake.

Why is Trump worrying about Trannies in the military? I understand .1% of the military is trans. Not 1%. I said POINT 1 PERCENT.

They must be an easy target to pick on. It scores you political points and you don't lose any votes from doing it. Even Kaitlyn voted for Trump

Fuckup hilarious

Yeah, we never had anything like this happen when a white guy was in charge of the fire department.

How did an air traffic controller miss two planes on the same elevation. I’ll wait

 

[g5000]

It will be some time before the DoD and FAA conduct an investigation and release any reports on this incident.

In the meantime, propagandists will have the advantage and will construct narratives which fit their needs, and this will become the pseudo-reality in the soft minds of their viewers who will deny the actual facts which will come to light too late.

DEI is the new buzzword for EVERYTHING.

 

[g5000]

We won't know until an investigation is conducted.

But feel free to make shit up in the meantime. And when the report comes out with the actual facts, keep your "coverup!" vocal cords warmed up.

Yet, if it was all white people that caused the accident you will quietly move on to another opportunity to white rage.

Noted is the tacit racism with white apology making.

How does an air traffic controller not accurately require the chopper pilot to look for the plane at his 12:00
