This needs to be used like their “$50 million on condoms” they keep parroting everywhere- get on every news station, podcast, sm posts/lives just everywhere and keep saying its his fault. It will get to him. **also praying the people are safe!
tRump rather blame the FAA air control tower which is a big lie. They don’t want the military to be responsible for the deaths of 64 innocent people when 3 professional pilots in an Blackhawk helicopter smashed into the plane. Accidents happens but don’t start blaming Biden, Obama DEI
But instead of waiting for the investigation to finish & the families to be notified tRump gets on TV & start blaming others which he the one that fired so many people that Biden or Obama had to keep our skies safe. Now that he messed up he trying to shift blame on them. The lies continue 💯 FACTS…
This is an example of engineered incompetence. They want to privatize everything that the US government used to do. It's all about profiteering by private companies who pay tribute to 47.
Why the fuck should you be worried about making a joke about a tragedy. The leader of the free fucking world is a fucking moron and he doesn't give a shit about truth or empathy. I follow the lead of my President. I don't have to obey laws, be kind, or tell the truth. I'm going to act exactly like
I would like to punch this asshole in the face. He clearly didn't learn a damn thing during his time in the military. I retired from the Army, and our diversity IS our strength. I've said that for over 20 years-long before these anti-DEI fuckwads started spouting their Nazi BS (publicly, at least).
Every interviewer should ask him on air to take a breathalyzer, mention that he smells like cheap whiskey or whatever he drinks, and ask him how long since his last drink.
Black, brown, and Asian troops have fought with distinction in every war in which the white man has allowed them to fight, may times, equipped with inferior equipment. This is a ridiculous argument to have in 2025. There have been books written about their contributions, Mr. Hegseth.
What that dumbass doesn’t get is that especially in our all volunteer military there is by definition everyone has the same mission and purpose. We went through this with religion once (no atheists in my platoon damn it) same now with genders and sexuality.
Well there’s no more DEI and there’s no more Biden so The Blame Game has become quite a bit more challenging for the Republicans. And they can’t blame trans people or illegal immigrants so what will they do? Look in the mirror? Doubt it
We know one thing: If this crash took place a month ago, 47 would be calling Biden incompetent, and point blank blame him for the crash. You could expect nothing less from him.
I think Donnie and petey will come to a head. Ofc, Biden will end up in the there somewhere after petey n Donnie make up.
Get on the mic, Biden. Defend yourself
I really hope the Democrats go crazy over this. Because if the tables were turned, and the Democrat pulled that off, the Republicans would be demanding an investigation immediately.
Then an insane press conference with no accountability. "The buck stops here" only means one thing to this guy... Any money comes to him and isn't shared.
👍That was a good way to put it. The wife and I were talking about his pathological need to avoid taking the blame for mistakes or problems earlier. Something in his childhood, I guess.
Sen. Ron Johnson has already said it's bidens fault. The FAA chief quit when Trump was elected. Not anyone's fault but Trumps. Trump turns everything & everyone around toxic.
Odds are high that it was two white cis male pilots that just crashed those aircraft. But if even one were black, brown, gay, or female surely DEI would have to be the root cause.
We should be relentless in letting the uninformed know how important civilian Fed Gov jobs are to our safety as a nation. Where are the Dems?!? Get out there and communicate! The old school tactics do not work. We need new ideas from ppl who aren’t scared to ACT!
This goes back to when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers for striking. Hiring a large number at once meant that same large number would all be retiring around the same time. Not only causing a labor shortage, but also a shortage in institutional knowledge.
It’s entirely plausible there was a direct causal link to the crash today. Maybe someone was fired that was originally scheduled to be there. Maybe a shift wasn’t covered. Maybe a supervisor didn’t have a job anymore. It doesn’t take much
It really depends on the circumstances. If the new administration has officially adopted a 'state terrorism' agenda, it is fulfilling its intentions by spreading fear and either negligently or deliberately causing harm in order to achieve its ideological goals.
Are you suggesting that Democrats should fulfill their responsibilities to protect democracy and take every possible action to prevent the spread of a terrorist ideology that seeks to dismantle our democratic values and wreak havoc on the nation?
On loop, 24 hrs a day w at least 2 breaking news reports an hour. Bring n every person that’s ever piloted a plane or been a passenger to speak on how this is Trump & admins fault. Follow up w disgruntled ATC personnel that are stressed from Trumps admin messing w federal employees, causing duress
Exactly. Democrats in the House should be putting up giant photos of the deceased and hitting every nook and cranny of the administration, relentlessly.
Pete may not want to play dirty, but he'll frame it exquisitely. Others should absolutely play it dirty, because (1) it actually won't be that dirty, and (2) that is absolutely what the Republicans would be doing right now (and be effective at it).
Bingo. If the roles were reversed and Kamala had won, just imagine the outrage right now and it would be pinned all on DEI regardless of the truth. I don’t care if it’s not fully fair, this is how politics are now. Blame the party in power for literally everything and constantly act outraged
Democratic leaders and aides need to big time work on messaging. All news media outlets,all social media, rallies , nonstop . Use their own tactics , repeat,repeat,repeat. " this should have never happened . This is trumps failed policies and he's busy golfing while his policies fail us"
Exactly ! I'm so drained and tired of them constantly attacking while democrats say nothing because they dont want to look cold hearted towards victims . Believe me Trump has already moved on and doesn't care a bit . It's time to take out the gloves on and use their own tactics on them.
Only this time
A military helicopter is involved
This dereliction of duty and negligence is a direct result of his poor leadership and decisions. Already
He should be focused on what matters. Not Gitmo concentration camps for brown folks that he doesn’t like.
Tammy Duckworth used to fly helicopters. She was talking on MSNBC and said they usually fly in pairs and wasn't sure why 1 was alone. Was there some trouble with the pilot or the 2 others on the helicopter? She said there are 3 on the helicopter.
Trump and the GOP had no fucking problem blaming Karen Bass, Gavin Newsome and the female fire chief for the fires in Los Angeles. Fires that were caused by a perfect storm of the effects of climate change. Democrats need to scream it's Trump's fault
Trump fires heads of TSA, Coast Guard and guts key aviation safety advisory committee
He fired the heads of the Transportation Security Admin & Coast Guard before their terms are up & eliminated all the members of a key aviation security advisory group.
I have the real story. Many people, all white men, so they are very trustworthy have told me very strongly that this accident was caused by a DonOld Trump FART! DonOlds BIG FAT FUCKING SMELLY DISGUSTING ASS ripped out a WET, STEAMY McDonald's fart and it traveled all the way into the helicopter
pilot's cockpit. The fart was so fucking rank that it rendered the pilot temporarily unconscious which caused him to crash into the plane. I have ZERO evidence to back this up but I'm giving my opinion about how it most likely happened. IMPEACH DonOld NOW before his FARTS KILL MORE AMERICANS!
We are simpatico. I do not have the ability to QUEEF but I know it when I hear it. That's how I know that FAT FUCK DonOld caused that crash by letting dead shit fly out of his ass.
From the inhuman tRump cones blame in the wake of 60+ tragically killed.
A narcissist will offer condolences he doesn’t mean only to turn around and act like a moron.
We need classes on narcissistic behavior so we can follow tRump's thoughts and be better prepared.
Agree?
As a former airport employee, this is factual. And they keep lowering the bar to hire in the airline industry. That’s why they use so many sub-contractors.
To mitigate liability and risk.
As the husband of someone who deals with FAA directly, every day, I know that the air traffic controllers were very overworked, under appreciated before Nov 5th, and it’s just gotten so much worse in the last month.
And wouldn't you know it, today, her job became much more complicated and difficult due to the blustering, blistering incompetence of the new administration.
Retired ATC here, it has been bad for years. 6 day workweeks, not making ground with new hires over folks retiring. Takes a couple of years to get through OJT and become a journeyman controller. It was bad in 2017 when I left, and one of the reasons I took an early retirement at age 52.
I’m glad you were able to move on. It sounds really grueling for a lot of folks and nobody is getting enough rest.
As someone who travels a lot I think about ATC personnel a lot, and gratitude for the work they, and you, have done.
It was a great career. But, it is taxing on your mind/body/circadian rhythms. Started when I was 22. Definitely a young person's career. 30 years was plenty. I am a much better person/husband/father now that I have retired, than I was when I wasn't. I honestly don't miss it.
Happy to read this. I was hoping to retire soon. Not happening, but I’ve started a photography hobby and see you are an accomplished photog so there’s still hope!
I'd be real surprised if it turns into Thursday and there hasn't been some hideously tasteless tweet from Trump blaming the usual suspects, seizing opportunity from tragedy.
And even more surprised if his GOP toadies aren't fanning-out on the morning shows.
Trump was getting rid of programs, people, bc he was raiding their funding.
This imaginary excellence,+ facades.
Trump is pretending- no wonder the world laughs at this 🤥💩🤡
Neither will the forced resignations of senior officials. The head of the FAA left. The glee that Trump and the GOP show when talking about DEI and the possibility of all 2 million employees leaving was disgusting before the crash. Now they look like 2nd rate TV stars
As a former controllers wife, I can help put this in perspective.
There are less than 13,000 ATCs to handle every flight, 24/7, 365. In that you have controllers that work airports and those who work at 'Centers" handling fly over. High altitude flights.
“The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn, Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane,”
Totally agree. I have been an airline pilot for 27 years & investment in ATC has been a big safety concern.
Now if only Republicans would stop blocking adequate funding for FAA & more Controllers along with updated systems.
I mean, Trump caught Covid and apparently had a very rough time even with all the best doctors and he never changed his tune. So I'm not going to hold out any hope.
Trump: '“Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding: “NOT GOOD!!!”' Now he's an air traffic control expert, apparently..
As an airline pilot, that’s a bit of reckless take and honestly sounds like a complete fabrication. Based on known details at this time, it genuinely looks like an honest mistake by the helo pilot. Nothing on the ATC side of it looks negligent or compromised at this time.
One could have scripted Trump’s briefing room blame game, retribution rant that we are witnessing. At a time of ultimate tragedy, he is driven to blame & attack others, while praising his own actions. I despise him.

Elon’s goal is to create a government via AI
Can’t let this happen
Life moves fast at this level - walking & chewing gum starts immediately.
Becoming an air traffic controller is not easy. This has been an ongoing problem for DECADES.
Air traffic controllers are overworked, overstressed, and overburdened through policy.

Get on the mic, Biden. Defend yourself

10s of thousands. It's a constant flow.
And when an airport gets shut down due to emergency, EVERY SINGLE FLIGHT across the country could be delayed
Incredible, life saving dances on a ballroom floor where everyone is a partner at the same time.
They deserve our respect AND their pay.
Thinking of those affected. Hoping for many survivors.
Air traffic controllers are so skilled and so valuable. And it’s a stressful job to start with.
I wonder who was on that flight.
So here we are.
Now if only Republicans would stop blocking adequate funding for FAA & more Controllers along with updated systems.
Or Trump could try to blame Biden, leftists, or Hillary's emails for all of it as usual, despite the absurdity.
Even predictably absurd.
