So what’s your point you’re going Trump a good guy now

banalhemorrhage.bsky.social•23 days ago

It kind of seems that you’re cherry picking which statements of Trump are true and which are premature?

enemywithin097.bsky.social•23 days ago

how the hell they know that? Let the NTSB do their job and find the cause.

sablue52.bsky.social•23 days ago

So, was the cause of the crash DEI or the helicopter off route? Pete Hegseth is the head of the DoD. What does he say? The real answer: ABT: anybody but Trump.

garyoldham.bsky.social•22 days ago

I remember when my nephew broke a glass and gave 5 or 6 versions of what happened, none of which were his fault.

Of course that was when he was 2, he's 9 now and has learned to take responsibility for his actions.

I guess it takes longer for some people.

martymishkin.bsky.social•23 days ago

The “black boxes” will soon be renamed by the Trump administration because they sound kind of DEIish.🙄

I wonder if this Admin knows that black boxes aren't even black. They're painted bright orange so they can be more easily found after a plane crash. Come to think of it, that fact alone would probably inspire them to change the name to Trump boxes. Common Sense was already taken by Thomas Paine.

martymishkin.bsky.social•22 days ago

Great build!😊

jarda.bsky.social•23 days ago

Which authorities? He fired them.

cottagedweller.bsky.social•23 days ago

What a friggin' embarrassment they are to this nation.

cottagedweller.bsky.social•23 days ago

And the fact that voters have done this TWICE now. There ain't nothing "exceptional" about this nation except our exceptional stupidity.

rcinnc1.bsky.social•23 days ago

Was that before or after the FAA team brief? Spokesperson said recovery and rescue were priority, followed by collection of evidence, moving forward. Expect update within 30 days, completion time, one year. So the "Could've gone left, right or around" was his expert assessment?

wrathburn78.bsky.social•23 days ago

He's gonna release flight paths adjusted by sharpie at some point, isn't he?

thejunkr.bsky.social•23 days ago

I was going to say this

kkitche.bsky.social•23 days ago

And off course for a training exercise! Male pilots were from Mississippi and Georgia. Most likely voted for 🍊 TRAITOR. They could have all sorts of ill willed agendas! I would like to see what was going on in the cockpit of the Blackhawk.

chay3.bsky.social•23 days ago

I always thought the zombie apocalypse was just over the top horror fiction. I see now it was just portrayed differently in film and gaming.

thenewnucleus.bsky.social•23 days ago

The helicopter was too high, and off course, and most importantly this was because ATC was understaffed.

anthnyw.bsky.social•22 days ago

He’ll blame it on the night sky, for being black.

paullaevens.bsky.social•22 days ago

I believe the planes are supposed to be higher than the helicopters in that area.

friendlychinaman.bsky.social•23 days ago

WTF?! He just makes things up as he goes along

lilyflagg.bsky.social•22 days ago

I trust nothing that comes from CNN.

sassymae.bsky.social•23 days ago

But commen sense said differently yesterday.

karmageddon.bsky.social•23 days ago

I dunno, since the plane was in the final seconds of its final approach and no alarm bells were being sounded, it was probably at the correct altitude.

shirleymeerson.bsky.social•22 days ago

🚨 Coverup coming - just like in the 2 assassination attempts 🙄

americanwomanx.bsky.social•22 days ago

He blamed the crash on DEI.
Got that?

masterlot1.bsky.social•22 days ago

D.C. and Philly disaster!? Are the Founding Fathers hitting back at Trump from beyond?! If something happens in Boston, it's time to Impeach 'Diaper' Donald 47. Can't violate the Constitution this much without having 'Independent' Ghosts coming for retribution. Your Dad & Mom still hate You, DJT 47.

angelasanders.bsky.social•23 days ago

it would appear that the plane was on correct course for landing and that the helicopter was 100' too high and all computers to avoid collision were turned off (due to practice stealth mode)

2bme.bsky.social•23 days ago

Where’s the live update on this?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/31/elon-musk-treasury-department-payment-systems/

pattydee.bsky.social•22 days ago

Will they be making those "authorities" available to answer questions from the press?

tressymtraveler.bsky.social•22 days ago

"Believe what I say, you don't have to look it up on your own because I am telling you vague information as to where I claim to get the information and they are 110% legit guys! Trust me!"

sabu1919.bsky.social•22 days ago

The phucking investigation barely started and he’s making up shyt.

drkimberlyd.bsky.social•23 days ago

Should be no surprise that evidence is mounting that the Blackhawk was 100 feet too high right before the crash: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=tF_NrG2wuqhLAO9e&v=_3gD_lnBNu0&feature=youtu.be

nancywalton.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh, brother. . .🙄

albca.bsky.social•23 days ago

It wouldn’t matter how high or low if he would have passed behind the CRJ as instructed.

jswca.bsky.social•23 days ago

The Black Hawk Helicopter was flying too high. Here is the quote.

jgour.bsky.social•23 days ago

I expect we’ll see Trump try to shut down the NTSB since, you know, common sense.

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•23 days ago

Here's the thing: fascists hate objective facts.

Crash investigations deal in OBJECTIVE FACT.

bumblingbard42.bsky.social•23 days ago

100%
Only through objective accuracy can we truly combat misinformation.

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•23 days ago

Or stop helicopters from slamming into commercial aircraft like kamikaze pilots.

bumblingbard42.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes, you are correct, but I was just trying to say it also applies across all domains with fascists, forcing them to deal with objective facts

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•23 days ago

That's why they flood the zone 24/7/365

makingbetterworld.bsky.social•22 days ago

Impressed by the quality and seriousness of the press conferences from the real professionals (despite the lies that have been aired and atmosphere that may surround them).

jp-invention.bsky.social•23 days ago

@harrylitman.bsky.social Harry here is something worse at play. At first Trump ludicrously said that the crash was probably caused by DEI. Later that night he signed an executive memorandum finding the blame lay with Biden and DEI practices. 1/

jp-invention.bsky.social•23 days ago

In other words, he invented a presidential report and entered it into the public record and erased the truth, which had yet to be confidently evaluated, and before any other conclusions could be reached. In other words, he invented a root cause and decreed it so by executive memo! 2/

jp-invention.bsky.social•23 days ago

Now imagine he has the hands of other agencies do the same thing, justice, defense, FBI. This is a real illuminating case of how truth can be created and facts ignored.

the-other-me.bsky.social•23 days ago

Now we know the dimensions of DEI: it's 100 linear feet
