wow, that sounds like "blood on their hands" ???

Until the facts as they get reported it is like everyone is talking to an empty space, this not believing reality, just look at the Jan. 6 attacks, so many believe they are hostages, that is such an insult to those who were hostages, It was wrong when he started, to all who repeated it, traitors

These idiots know there isn't some private ATC out there, right? These poor overworked souls could really do our country a solid.

greggindel.bsky.social•21 days ago

It's the planes boss, stay away from the planes.

Group psychopathy. Dont think for a moment that the deaths will prevent them from sleeping like babies.

Think about it. No problems in the last four years but two in 13 days.

In the future when we will look back, will we say the US had already fallen by now?

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•21 days ago

Perhaps then it will serve as an example 2 other nations 2 take action against losing their rights, & economy.
To us the power of many in numbers, if they care about themselves, vs doing nothing and expecting others to alone, save them.

2 crashes in 1 week..great job Republicans!!

Can someone please use this as a rope to hang them all with? They’d never let this slide of the tables were turned!!

I hope every one of their private plans crash and burn.

alibali60.bsky.social•20 days ago

I’m Canadian and vow to never visit US of A or cross airspace again. Doesn’t really bother me, nor anyone else, I’m sure, but there are far more interesting places to visit overseas with zero Maga nonsense.

Republicans in the house have been silent lately

They know they created all these failures but will distract with the deportation nonsense

I wonder if they ever think of their safety whenever they have to travel🤪🤪🤪

technausea.bsky.social•21 days ago

It seems that, quite routinely, some of congress votes against their best interests and then complain/divert when things happen.

They need to be called out and held responsible for their votes.

dayvehuse.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'm waiting for the 1st non US international carrier to stop flights into America due to safety concerns...

nowhining.bsky.social•21 days ago

There will not be an accurate or believable investigation from the NTSB or the FAA for the next 4 years. And safety will continue to be jeopardized. Hope all the flight employees have their life insurance paid up.

kheine.bsky.social•21 days ago

Excellent analysis and article. Be sure to review the lists of who voted against and pick out your “favorites”.

fashionablyover60.bsky.social•21 days ago

I don’t care anymore about what the Republicans are doing- we all know they are shit… I want to know why the Democrats are not doing more to protect us and bring attention to what Musk is doing at the treasury…

thatdbemethatd.bsky.social•21 days ago

Your nation voted for Trump. Stop blaming the democrats. They can’t do anything. This is on the GOP.

fashionablyover60.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am a democrat- in fact I’m a national delegate for Missouri and if every democrat had voted for Kamala- we would have won! I give no leeway for turncoats of fence sitters.

thatdbemethatd.bsky.social•20 days ago

Absolutely. Those that didn’t vote should hang their heads in shame. Just as here in the UK when the extreme voted to pull us out of the EU.

fashionablyover60.bsky.social•20 days ago

It was the same kind of shit! They preyed on people’s feelings and prejudices and lied about the consequences.

thatdbemethatd.bsky.social•20 days ago

Sadly that is happening here too. But pool are slowly waking up and imho need supporting not mocking as they admit their view has changed… it’s hard to admit you were wrong complacent or lazy. Bw

bahram-bozorg.bsky.social•21 days ago

Privatization models work best in countries with highly inefficient, corrupt government & staff. US government is highly efficient & almost no corruption (unless Trump is in power). Argentina is corrupt so laying off gov workers might make it better for them. In US is opposite

captain-mcfella.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yes, here we are working hard to get corruption INTO government.

margeandfriday.bsky.social•21 days ago

What is their reasoning?

dc-757.bsky.social•21 days ago

Too bad the Miedas report has no credibility because of their extreme exaggerations and false reporting. They’re the media that cried wolf and now nothing they say is believable.

Imagine actually voting against this. Even my CAT knows this is stupid.

Let’s all chip in to have them fly more. Maybe we get lucky

realelsie1.bsky.social•21 days ago

I know this is a gut wrenching heart breaking time. But I hope to GOD that every family member of every person killed or injured in those flights lawyers up and suesMFOTUS, MUSK and every single Republican who voted re:FAA, in a class action wrongful death civil suit.

katlandkat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Might work actually due to having fired so many of them in the week leading up to this.
Problem has been around for a while just no push to train more people.....no money for it

Privatize and monetize every aspect of our lives

Those pesky FAA people.

marie1226.bsky.social•21 days ago

Mike Johnson, you have been a failure since day one you go around telling people that you are a Christian you are a liar and everything that comes out your mouth is a lie. You need to be removed from that position, cause you are catering to one side you are disgrace to this country you and Trump

cvilletownie.bsky.social•21 days ago

The blood of all the plane crash victims is on their hands.

donnamaree.bsky.social•21 days ago

Is it time for coordination of air traffic controllers to ground all planes, not allow takeoffs and then walk out?

skyrd2.bsky.social•21 days ago

Trump and the MAGA Republicans made bad decisions. Cutting funding to the Federal Aviation Agency led to the deadly crash. Diversity in hiring the air traffic controllers or pilots is not what caused the crash.

lisaemfin.bsky.social•21 days ago

Makes you feel safe flying the friendly skies doesn't it?

ardtarig.bsky.social•20 days ago

The answer is do not fly to USA full stop. It is a massive risk

ikesgym.bsky.social•21 days ago

There is more danger to come in the skys, said with trepidation!

daves211.bsky.social•21 days ago

Our government is being run by Fox News, Elon Musk, a madman, and a congress full of cowards who are afraid to honor their oaths.

jedipriest.bsky.social•20 days ago

Enemies of democracy have been attacking the American political, media & government systems for years.

Now, it is painfully clear to everyone; Republicans are actively working AGAINST the American People.

Beware.

makemoblue.bsky.social•21 days ago

Can the speaker of the house be impeached? Asking for myself!

befarrell.bsky.social•21 days ago

Airline pilots should stage a walkout for safety reasons. Let’s see what happens when planes aren’t flying….

And another deadly plane crash in PA. Stay out of the skies, people.

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•21 days ago

They vote against our Safety to ONLY Serve IQ 73, insurrectionist Trump.

seppost.bsky.social•21 days ago

That's right and he fired the head of the FAA. No leadership, no airplane safety.

shiftyclown.bsky.social•21 days ago

You won't catch me getting on a plane. The GOP crooks and the Great MAGAT have filled our protective agencies for decades with lax rules and insiders.

mykel11.bsky.social•21 days ago

It’s a long boat ride to Europe or Asia or even South America.

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•21 days ago

It also means avoiding death by horrific airplane crashes.
Insurrectionist Trump, (IQ 73), doesn’t care about our lives, and is willing to destroy our lives and our economy.

mykel11.bsky.social•21 days ago

I agree that Trump could care less about us or our lives but if I need or want to get somewhere I’m afraid there are few options other than air

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•21 days ago

I appreciate you, stand with you, & hope that you see, our power is that we are many in numbers, & using that is important for our rights to survive. together, as many, we will successfully demand our worth, to have our rights.

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•21 days ago

At this point, it has negatively affected us2 not partake as the many that we are in Numbers. Expecting others 2 go it alone, is not effective, & has brought us 2 this point. continue 2 stand alone, only makes it easier, as each day examples. it is vital 2 partake in numbers 2 boycott & Call Reps.

shiftyclown.bsky.social•20 days ago

Looks like soon none of those countries will allow us to go there.

mykel11.bsky.social•20 days ago

They should simply ban anyone in the administration since letting them in will only make matters worse 🙄

shiftyclown.bsky.social•21 days ago

I would drive to Mexico or Canada and use a foreign airline. Are you a traveler? If you are, then you would know that since Bush Jr., Dom Airlines, when they didn't get their way, started treating us like shit until you were outside the sphere of American influence. Then come the free movies & food

mykel11.bsky.social•21 days ago

I am a traveler, over 2 million miles flown. Foreign airlines are, in many cases, superior but I’m not about to drive for days to leave from Canada or Mexico. To each his own.

smokin-glory.bsky.social•21 days ago

Sure, until one of them ends up in a plane crash. Everything seems so impersonal until it isn't. That's selfishness in a nutshell.

ltlener.bsky.social•21 days ago

Just wrote my congressman on that list. I did not do a social media thing. I actually sent him an email since it’s Saturday. I told him how unhappy it is that he’s willing to put politics above safety and he will not be getting my vote again. Yes, I voted for a Republican. Rarely but sometimes.

athehun.bsky.social•21 days ago

Every democrat should be banging on about things like this instead of voting for his unqualified nominees

treatallwithlove.bsky.social•21 days ago

“Every Democrat”, should B receiving calls from people that placed them as Reps., telling them how 2 vote.
Telling them 2 vote 4 people, not IQ 73.
We R many in numbers.
We should use that power, but only if we care about ourselves, & our rights.
If we don’t care, Y should they?

mjnewburg1.bsky.social•21 days ago

We are doomed 😞

utternonesense.bsky.social•21 days ago

I have to ask, how many planes will need to crash before order is restored.

cynthiastach.bsky.social•21 days ago

As long as it’s not Air Force One Traitor Trump doesn’t care. He’ll keep destroying our country every single day.

cynthiastach.bsky.social•21 days ago

No one will be safe flying over the U.S. but Traitor Trump constantly flying to his golf courses to play golf. He’ll have military jets next to Air Force One protecting. What if they crash on MAL or any of his clubs will he be mad his top secret documents stored there to sell will be destroyed?

hagen-patrick.bsky.social•21 days ago

"But the private sector will do it better and more efficiently!"

mcvlc.bsky.social•21 days ago

As long as the environment is unsafe with plenty of scapegoats, they ensure plausible deniability when planes go down on orders by higher ups for someone or more on board they don’t like. 🤨 Why was the helicopter above 200 ft and traveling at high rate of speed with traffic in the air?

bpmcrell.bsky.social•21 days ago

Defund is code for allowing another billionaire to step in and privatize the service and make bank from our tax $..
Watch NTSB as a whole- nations highways & by ways turned into toll only.
Watch DoE get killed so that public education can be killed & tax $ roll out to charters & religious schools.

vogtde1.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Dems aren't actually standing up against this, if they were the government would say the least be at a standstill, instead Trumpers and the reds are busy dismantling the system and Dems literally send thoughts and prayers with their words only response to it all
