Infrastructure, both rail and air require massive upgrades. America has abandoned any long term investing for short term profits. Travel at your own risk. Maybe walk?
Railroads have been unsafe for years across many presidential administrations of both parties and nothing was really done. It took the Palestine, OH disaster to open eyes on rail safety.
Remember when Fox News claimed there were no terrorist attacks on US soil during the Bush II administration? Remember them blaming Obama for his poor response to Katrina?
I think he was being sarcastic, based on the blatant hypocrisy of this regime blaming others instead of taking responsibility. But, yeah... Still sad ...
That's as shifty as Texas pronouncing their city Montague as Mon-tayg. But Pee-dro is apparently because Americans wanted to divest from Spanish names after the Span-Amer war or because Portuguese fisherman brought their language and Pedro sounds more like Pee-dro there but it's actually Pay-dro.
Over 3 decades in the making yet Trump didn’t do anything or very little during his first term. I’ve discovered that Republicans mainly like to complain about issues or problems. They just don’t want to spend any money for solutions.
Trump was not 3 decades in the making; he was always a conman bought by Russia. The media took 3 decades to poison the minds with the help of the rich, the alt-wrong, and evil. They will not stop with just Hungary, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, and America. They're going to keep coming for us all.
I’m speaking about the air traffic control problem. I also don’t look to put the blame or judge anything specifically. Russia has been this way for decades or longer. I grew up with lots of media and have been greatly educated by various sources of media. Religion is far more influential
if you willfully and knowingly take out the breaks on a truck and, knowing it has no breaks, send it out on the road you are responsible for anyone that gets killed by that truck.
Trump is responsible for anyone that dies.
Funny, but if people are going to believe Duffy that we "should've fixed things during covid" when people weren't flying, but they'll refuse to blame who was actually president at that time, I'm having doubts that's on Dems & not the dumbasses believing Duffy and the propaganda behemoth of the GOP.
Like, I get the complaint, but Dems do not have a MASSIVE outside revenue stream to fund huge networks of propagandists across the country on every platform imaginable.
I don't disagree with this at all, absolutely. I'm just not sure it would be able to produce the results that are truly needed at this point. According to experts, it's really fighting fire with fire if we want results, but Dems don't have that kind of cash.
I would say anyone with half a brain cell would see this but I literally heard a conversation last week about how Biden is responsible for the state of air travel in America. We are so cooked.
Well, it is kinda funny that no problems happened before January 21st. Same equipment then, more techs? What a surprise!!! Fire them. And blame the former guy.
His explanation for everything is I don't know, someone else is responsible.
Problem solved!
We already knew this. It was obvious, & calculated. Ppl are expendable. The question is: Who profits from t”the fix” bc it was broken so someone could make bank off the fix.
And we have ex-lumberjack, reality TV show crazy (and dancing nude in front of his hotel room window (Google it)), Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Are we fixing it or just gonna give a new contract to Musk 2b 'hero' w yet another government contract without process of bidding, etc? Why hasn't DOGE fire first, figure out if a mistake later stopped? Why haven't we brought those employees back? Why hasn't congress stepped up? #Fail #Fail #Fail
Better question-why is Elmo and his stupid, inept pack of douche boys still there, rifling around in and likely selling, the personal information of the United States???
Absolutely! And he doesn't seem to care a f--k about the fact that air traffic controllers are losing contact with planes, and are totally understaffed.
GOP & Elon's goal is about privatization. No problem with chaos created: break it & fix it w/cronie$. Elon also is evading investigations, law suits & regulations. Need to fire top officials to do that. What DOGE/Elon did to US govt & oversight is criminal.
Exactly. This is about undermining confidence in American institutions and basic things we just expect to work.
They will then sell us a brutally expensive solution or American public air travel will be a thing of the past. Either way, they continue the attack on the economy until we are peasants.
I still don’t understand why Congress allows one man, not even from this country, to run it. He wasn’t elected and seems to run things by whim. Has anyone seen proof of how much doge has allegedly saved?
How is it possible that these fucking assholes win and the Democrats have no clue how to beat them? Losing to this scumbag should disqualify the Democrats as a political party.
I think it’s because it’s almost impossible to change the minds of people who believe every lie they are told, refuse to even listen to anyone who disagrees and can’t or won’t do any personal investigation. Characteristics of a cult.
A significant number of rich people have been killed in airplane crashes. Probably more than you would expect from random chance. Why, they often feel the rules don’t apply to them since they’re rich. Cumulus graniticus is just as hard for them as it is for the guy who can barely afford to fly…
Another example of bureaucratic murder. Just like the guy who got axed by Luigi. When people are dying because of you Trump their next of kin will come for you!
WHO DIDN'T KNOW THIS DAY ONE?
The people who don't "do politics". They've been watching Fox News since Jan 21st and believing those smiling STEPFORD wives....until they find themselves ass over tea kettle. (one of my mothers sayings- I have NO idea what it means)
KEEP FLYIN'. Everythings a crapshoot
Of course, we knew that! Voices were raised in opposition. We heard from fired FAA employees. The chainsaw a-hole got most of the press and applause, though 😡
Lay it all at the feet of the one who dismantled and destroyed w/pals. And the traitor felon conman wants a shiny free bribe gift plane!
As I understand it in someone else's post, Obama piloted a solo flight in airforce 1. Carrot colored Caligula should do it as well just to prove he is up to it too!
That’s why the Heritage Foundation needed Trump to be president again.They weren’t able to influence him as much during his first term because his dementia hadn’t fully set in yet.
It’s as if he used someone with zero experience in government operations to make personnel decisions and cuts, and then hired someone to run the FAA who didn’t have a shred of experience.
A decent lawyer should be able to connect the lost lives, injuries, and millions in wasted money, due to crashes, mid-air collisions, miscellaneous incidents, and delays. At the very least it's impeachable.
As much as I detest 🍊💩, I think blaming him for this aviation mess is not only his fault. I believe that Obama, Trump AND Biden's admins are @ fault. All US air traffic controls are running on severely outdated systems & theres been a shortage of controllers for years. Job takes a special rare skill
No, you misunderstand. He personally gutted the agency, and left it in ruin within like the first month or so of his presidency. What you’re saying may be true, but Trump IS directly responsible for it all going to hell NOW.
"The collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 & the Army Black Hawk helicopter occurred on Jan.
29 under clear skies over some of the country's busiest, most tightly controlled airspace." (CNN)
DOGE descended on FAA on Feb.17 (Reuters)
🍊 decimated the FAA but it was already in terrible shape!
We already knew that, it wasn’t just some random coincidence that as soon as he took office all these planes were having troubles left and right. The man is a danger to society in more ways than one unfortunately.
Don’t let them load it all on Donald Trump! Almost none of this was him - it was his GOP and Russian handlers that took care of it. They want to make him be the scapegoat if things somehow go sideways for them.
Don’t let them!
it should be possible - maybe not easy at all, but 'possible' - to sue him for criminal negligence causing death. He didn't do any 'study' to see what effects might be, so he had NO logic to back him up. Just petulant child insistence. And that is negligent.
Isn't that because DOGE kids were sent in there to say, "What does this button here do?" Gutting of the FAA happened so early in the Administration that there was no chance any knowledgeable people got to weigh in on what was important and what was unnecessary.
Don't believe there are sufficient negative adjectives to describe the emotions I feel due to the actions of djt and the beings who are complicit in his actions - as instructed by my LORD I pray for them - but I cannot tell how extremely difficult that is. 🙏 for me please
All they can think to do now is play hot potato with the responsibility. These people are incapable of taking any positive action about anything. We're going to have an entirely preventable disaster and all they are going to do is pin the blame on a scapegoat. They've already started!
Republicans who are up for re-election over the next few years are hoping our short-term memories kick in. By then, their constituents will be fighting with their pets over who gets the last kibble in the bowl..
It's his enablers. Yeah, he's unfit but his protectors & supporters are also to blame. No one is telling him No. They are watching it all go down and making excuses for why it's "good".
I want that entire administration, and Musk and his team in handcuffs. I'll have a holiday for whoever does it.
Is the idea that his administration wants the government entities to fail so they can be privatized? Which, I'm guessing, will make some people very, very rich? Or, richer, I should say?
Here's one thing Project 2025 said about the FAA: "Consider separating the FAA’s regulatory and air traffic control functions, potentially moving toward a privatized air traffic control system."
There you go: privatize it. Dismantle gov't departments and sell them off to cronies, like Musk.
It was tried during Trump v1. Didn't pass because rich private plane owners would lose power against big corps.
In a twist of norms, most people only interact with aviation through big corps. The "little guys" are almost all rich and many are politically connected, like Trump himself.
Privatization doesn’t work. The prison system in Alabama was privatized years ago. The prisons are in terrible shape, prisoners are murdered by other inmates, there is understaffing and the food is abhorrent. This is what happens when money is the bottom line. I’m
I remember an interview specifically where the guys said that they had fired the only guy that knew how to fix this antiquated system that they have.
He had his guy on eBay for parts
Turns out Trump and the Republicans are showing us that the government has been providing much that is of great value to us, even as they work so very hard to now destroy it. Safe skies used to be a thing we hardly had to think about.
Not only is he a flipping mess all day every day, whenever he is sitting down, he looks like a busted can of biscuits. He's a damn fool who is cosplaying president while congress quietly panders to the lobbyist stripping us of all rights and protections for their own riches.
The ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!Trump and Vance still defy court orders.CTs. orderMarshals to Arrest the two!Trump call Militaryto stop them!Military refuse Trumps orders!Marshals arrest both.Deport them to the Penguins Island.OR Military stay with Trump CTS. order ALLasset and bit coins be frozen!THE END
Why do you tweet and then post a screenshot here. It puts the weight on your tweets and cheapens your content here. X is a cesspool. Post here. Screenshot. Post on X if you have to. Just sayin.
They scrapped controllers off the floor to save $ & and are now scrambling to hire new ones….will the new ones have a salary or are these volunteer positions? Hmmm how much was saved??
Everyone one needs to know this, and Trump needs to answer for this instead of blaming Pres. Biden and Pete Buttigieg! I wish more Americans wake up and just look at the facts! Republicans are horrible at running their counties, districts, states and the nation! Vote them out!
To put it plainly, PutinsBiaatch45 is Intentionally trying to Kill People. FAA,FDA,FEMA,USAID,HHS,Civil rights,Judiciary, Hell he is causing Intentional harm & Death to the People in America as he did when he caused the human genocide with his intentional lies about the Seriousness of Covid19.
IT IS TRUMP'S NEGATIVE ACTIONS THAT CAUSED THE SERIOUS FAILURES AT AIRPORTS NATIONWIDE! HIS MASS REMOVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT, FAA SECURITY & SAFETY, AND THE FAA AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS!
Lack of experts, inspectors & regulators making sure everyone is doing their jobs safely, & equipment is working , with toversight in mgmt to understand the workload, are features we all take for granted in many workplaces.
Just like vaccines, if they think there’s no need, removing causes harm.
Once again, the only thing that I can say is that I hope that all of the negative crap that this government is doing, comes back to affect them directly. Them, their families, their children, their spouses, all of them.

lolololol
Lots of train accidents the past few years.

The nutbars are out there.
ALL OF THIS.
Trump is responsible for anyone that dies.
MANSLAUGHTER is a crime in the USA
I hope the nation grows some balls one day
I wish we had some actual representation, beyond the 10-12 people we actually have.
Coordination seems to be the missing part here tho
His explanation for everything is I don't know, someone else is responsible.
Problem solved!
Trump will be the President with the largest peacetime death toll. He is killing Americans directly or indirectly. He will kill many more.
Mayor Pete would have never stood for this.
That won't stop these fuckers from blaming Biden for their immense stupidity and fuckups
The country could be turned into an open prison and he’d say it was his lawyers or his military or other!
This is not on the Biden administration.
There were no catastrophic crashes on Biden’s watch…🫠
They will then sell us a brutally expensive solution or American public air travel will be a thing of the past. Either way, they continue the attack on the economy until we are peasants.
It’s the only thing we can truly predict and count on these days.
The rich can so easily fall out of the sky too.
/s
And we know the next play is to blame Biden & claim they’re the savior that fixed the problem they created.
Same tired playbook.
The people who don't "do politics". They've been watching Fox News since Jan 21st and believing those smiling STEPFORD wives....until they find themselves ass over tea kettle. (one of my mothers sayings- I have NO idea what it means)

Go on with your liberal truths and facts...
He is one of us...

Not much of a surprise there.
Don the Con may know the price of a few things, but not the value of anything useful.
"I Don't Know"

Follow the strings because most of the government is bought, blackmailed or nazis themselves.
You can blame one man, but he has a whole ragime that we need to deal with. Red and blue or else we wouldn't be here at all.
There you go: privatize it. Dismantle gov't departments and sell them off to cronies, like Musk.

At what point does the US military not doing something about Trump become:
"Dereliction of Duty"?
Maybe Trump’s is kicking in.
you mean it wasnt biden?
Mar 13, 2025-FAA was “close to canceling” existing $2.4 billion Verizon contract in favor of Musk’s Starlink.
The Campaign Legal Center filed complaint to investigate Musk’s conflict of interest with FAA deal.
No investigation to date.(Forbes)
Why are the powers that be, not using the law to oust this disgrace of a President?
Can they even?
Do they even possess the power to dethrone King Poopypants?
And when planes go down and kill citizens, crickets.
Let’s see.
Just like vaccines, if they think there’s no need, removing causes harm.
All violations are blatant and in full view.
I do hope they have a kill switch in that plane.
Maybe someone from the inside can write the FAA Papers and secretly submit to the New York Times!
