Their blood is on Elon’s hands and he must be removed from our system of governance! All these inexperienced tv personalities & so called businessmen running this nation is dangerous. How many more have to die before we impeach Felon 47 and get rid of his administration?? Let the tallying begin!
This post, along with every post I've read on this thread is completely without logic. I like blue sky cuz it is always good for a laugh.. thanks lefties
I didn't say non factual I said without logic. Just the same stuff, you know, this person's a nazi that person is too, it's all trumps fault, when dems were in charge all was copacetic. Laughable illogical typical same old lefty rants..

He can’t explain anything, he has a hard time putting two sentences together! His presser was appalling today while they were still recovering loved ones from the plane. He’s a pathetic incompetent buffoon!!
I miss Pete. I would love to see him run for Congress or even President, although I know he'd face a lot of homophobia. He is an amazing communicator, something that is a rarity for the Dems.
The GOP spent years investigating Hunter Biden's laptop which turned out to be a fake propaganda campaign with lying witnesses. What Trump has done to the FAA, Military and other departments with his idiot clown show endangers us all. Just like his destruction of the CDC, HHS and FDA. Full stop now.
The time for him to show “actual leadership” was during his first stolen election. That time has passed. If anyone thinks he will do anything other than work for self & greed, they haven’t been paying attention.
The leech is a mendacious, fabulist, befuddled, double-dealer. We are UNITED. They lie.
But he won’t. He’ll deflect and lie and disparage the professionals who work diligently to make the systems run. And clearly not enough voters pay attention or care, because this isn’t new at all.
In 2017, the Trump administration, at the behest of rail lobbyists, rescinded a rule that would have required rail cars with hazardous flammable materials to install new brake technology, known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes, that would have helped trains stop more quickly.
Jan 20th: FAA Director was fired.
Jan 21st: Air traffic controller hiring frozen.
Jan 22nd: Aviation safety advisory committee disbanded.
Jan 28th: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees.
Jan 29th: First American midair collision in 16 years.
Trump demoralized all federal employees including our military with threats to fire them. He’s responsible for these deaths as he is for the Covid and January 6th deaths. They voted for a murderer because they hate us too.
Thank you. I’m so angry all the time. At 66. I’ve lost my country. Dad was shot twice in the Philippines after he’d volunteered for the Army during WWII. I will never forgive those who voted for Trump.
Interesting, I see/hear a lot of cases where people struggle with their parents voting Trump (relatable), but I rarely see the other direction mentioned. It's got to be equally difficult.
This Trump bullshit has been impacting my sleep and giving me headaches. It's all so upsetting. Seems like we're watching this country's destruction and we're powerless to stop it. No one is taking him on. Bullies stop when confronted.
Folks get off the couch and kick these assholes in their Musk. We will prevail when Fat Ass supporters lose their shirt. Patience and stay vigilant…Fat Ass should not live in your head rent-free…
Maybe the people that voted for him will wake. If it ever happens, we will forgive them because that’s what we do. my dear partner in WWII also. They were our heroes.
how long do we have to wait and how much tragedy and suffering has to happen before republicans realize that they pinned all their hopes and dreams on a false prophet
But we know from early news reports that ATC cleared the AA to land and also that ATC tried to contact the crew on the help but the crew didn’t respond or change their course. An additional controller at the airport may not have changed that. We need to see what the NTSB finds out.
So they can't currently hire new employees??? So they have the exact amount of employees they've always had, oh and 1 high ranking official was fired.. did I get that right?
I will not be flying in the next 4 years. His track record for hiring the least qualified people possible has made that decision for me. It won't be as safe as it once was. No trip for any reason is worth the risk until sanity is restored to government.
If you are a more visual learner
“Black Hawk Down”
Reagan international
What happened to a little flight back in the day when Jimmy tried to run for reelection 🤔
Foreign policy is coming home to roost.
As I understand it, the Head of the FAA resigned on Jan 20 after Musk threatened him with a lawsuit if he didn’t quit. Apparently they clashed over $400K in proposed fines for SpaceX which Musk claimed was harassment. How does a citizen in no official capacity have that much clout in our government?
They’re making federal employees life miserable for them to quit or prove complete loyalty. They have no choice . Even so some are staying no matter what . This is no longer a democracy.
I guess we’re seeing what happens when you sell your government to a billionaire who yearns for world dominance, starting with the United States presidency.
It's that not enough, and certainly not those in a position to do anything, care about what's happening. Some are digging through past laws to find a legal way to stop this because they still think it's business as usual, and others are rooting it on so they can be next in line at the $ bar.
To all who keep saying 10 years in “he should be leading”,”he should be consoled in chief” - stop,he is incapable of human emotions or reactions…the only emotion he is “in touch” with anger, retribution and his victimhood.
Thank you Pete and I agree with you. His press conferences were filled with lies and fake bs. Because he won’t take any responsibility of the actions he takes. And if he thinks non dei hires don’t ever make mistakes then he’s really delusional. Thank goodness there has only been one crash.
Remember, Trump will always place personal loyalty over professional competence. This is what happened here; compounded by his ludicrous executive orders. This is just the first. Just wait for the impact with bird flu on the American public. The public brought this on themselves. They were warned.
Trump tries to blame everyone but himself because of his idiotic executive orders. Trump never accepts the odium for his own stupidity. Those deaths are on him and the Heritage Foundation.
So I hear dRump is blaming the air tragedy on Dems? Well, Great Fat Orange One, if we Dems are so powerful that we can cause air crashes, WISE UP AND BACK OFF unless ya' wanna find out what more we can do.
2013
An Asiana Airlines plane crashed at San Francisco's international airport, killing three people and injuring more than 180.
2009
A Colgan Air turboprop crashed on approach to landing in Buffalo, New York, killing all 49 people on board and one person on the ground.
Look up Air Florida crash in '82. Look at the routes planes have to circumnavigate to enter National's airspace. Now ATC are having to take on two planes at once. Maybe not fly into National or Tenerife?
“One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership & explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”
So he starts with verbal diarrhoea a symptom of a mental illness and paranoia..
Trumo blames dei, and climate change on the fed for the interest rate. He’s an imbecile who has no idea how things work. Expect more of the same his entire term. He has no idea how to be a leader let alone govern anyone and truth is he could care less.
And this should be Democrats talking point when they are approached in the media. Republicans repeat their talking points. Democrats need to get on board with the messaging
And do it constantly, for everything. Make his life the hell it should be. Make him actually work on America’s problems instead of playing with his mushroom on Mar-a-Lago’s shitty golf course
Hello, How are you doing? I really like your profile picture and I would like to make such an amazing mural out of it. Does this meet with your approval?
They were Russians MOTUS moron of the United States firing all the people at the top and few days later this crash happened Trumps fault he is the dumbest mother on the planet PAB
January 20: FAA director fired
➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years
This is a horrific situation. The helicopter crew is dead, along with the airline crew and all passengers. Lots of questions, but the role of a leader is to seek out those answers while calming consoling and caring for all their people. Trump is not a leader. He is a detached idiot.
This was my whole argument throughout Biden’s administration. Yes things may have been expensive but you get what you pay for, this instance thousands upon thousands of safe and successful flights. Life is priceless, don’t cut corners or try to save money.
"Leading and not lying". It would be so easy, but he doesn't know how. He could be a good president but he'd rather be a dictating criminal who places blame on this he's done on his opposition... while raping Americans figuratively and literally.
I think the response falls on him and as president he should accept responsibility. But we know that Trump never accepts responsibility for anything because he is a petulant child.
Hello, How are you doing? I really like your profile picture and I would like to make such an amazing mural out of it. Does this meet with your approval?
What did Trump and Republicans think was gonna happen when they threw bombs all over the federal government???? Irresponsible, dangerous and now deadly.
Don't you just love how well Pete describes the reality of this situation. He is believable and in command of the narrative. I trust his every word. Wish I could say the same for the criminal felon sitting on his huge orange butt in the white house. He simply cannot tell the truth.
how many women and minorities are going to be willing to step up and do a very hard job of air traffic control, during a Trump presidency? Very few. And with a standing warning that their job could be pulled at any moment? almost none. That leaves uneducated white men. Good luck with that!
Pete should be calling for the impeachment and removal of Trump, not demanding true leadership from a man who has proven time and again he is incapable of actually leading anything. FFS, the man bankrupted a casino and couldn’t even successfully sell STEAKS. I’m tired of this shit.
@petebuttigieg2028.bsky.social Don't hold your breath, Sir. Crass cretins gotta crass cretin; it is all they know.
Thanks for being careful on your watch. America deserves vastly better than your successor(s).
Majority of air traffic controllers are former military and got their ATC training while serving. Many transitioned directly from the military to the FAA. 73% are white. Less than 20% are women.
Sounds like white men are the problem and not “DEI hires”
Every single one of the millions of domestic airline flights that were flown during Secretary Buttigieg's term landed safely. Even the Boeing jet that lost a door in midair was landed safely by its two WOMEN pilots!
no, none of them are "the problem." the problem is hey are understaffed a d over worked. it's the most stressful job imaginable and to have 1 person doing 2 ppls job is certain danger.
The answer is before Trump supporters. A federal court kilked a ban on 18-20 year olds being allowed to buy guns. Not long ago, Trumpies were saying college kids didn't have the life experience to be allowed to vote, but they're now saying they can buy guns. Hypocrisy. YOU are the problem, not us.
Brilliant framing.
Far more accurate and supported by evidence than Trump’s transparently false, racist trash about “DEI” causing the crash.
Tactical, strategic approach:
Repetitive distribution via effective channels into amygdala of electorate.
Use the science &
win with GOP sales team approach.
Yes! And we need to keep their feet to the fire. They will have lots of accidents to come, and they will blame them all on #DEI or #Biden or #Democrats. They will NEVER accept blame.
That presser was a typical BS shit show of deflection, blame game, ignorance, and rambling. And to kiss up to Russia instead of focusing on what is important! 😡🤮
Have u directly called ANY of your elected? 24/7 u can leave a voxmail. CALLS get documented. 44 mn REPUB voters called in 1 day 2 stop the trump freeze of their benefits. What did YOU DO? Calls make big diff. Not social comments!
Not only that, but the US military was involved. Trump doesn't get to traffic in conspiracies when he gets internal briefings. I'm worried this is a false flag or a coup or something even more awful than the crash, which is hideous and heartbreaking.
I forsee many more to come... followed by the collapse of the industry. If this happened in the space of a week... what else is going to happen? Climate Change and Trump Change are now killers.
This one is on Trump/Musk/Ramaswamy and their stupid DOGE!! Who fires all the top brass in one day and then asks all the presumed DEI employees to resign in a week - that too in such critical jobs! Did they think these were X's fact checkers!
Trump spokesman B.S. Malarkey defended President Trump over criticism that he blamed airline crash without proof on diversity hires. "Really!" Malarkey said. "So you still believe anything President Trump says? Really? Where have you been the last 30 years?"
And Trump and his family have flown the past four years without incident but somehow the air traffic control system in this country is in major disarray.
With the insanity of Covid restrictions and volume of flights through the roof. Still, safe and sound because we had competent leadership running the show
Trump must be called out on this aircraft disaster! He must (but he won’t) take the blame for this tragedy! We must not forget! Make the President accountable by spreading this type of information far and wide!
I thought maybe during today’s presser with the NTSB, something would be said about trump’s comments. However they were probably threatened not to say anything against the blurting idiot.
Remember when Reagan fired 11k striking air traffic controllers (because they wanted limits on how many hours straight they worked so they could do their jobs well),
then we had a bunch of horrific plane crashes in the 80s?
The people that spend all their time 'hating' are terminally online wishing America dove into the communist country it almost did so they can continue to sit and get fat.
To understand best what DEI is and how important DEI policies are, it's helpful to compare a picture where it's entirely lacking. Here's Trump's freedom caucus discussing women's maternity health care and implementation. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39375228
NEW: An FAA report says one air traffic controller was working two positions during the crash. “The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”
This. He has frequent fights with the FAA because his rocket launches were not following the rules. Once he got in power. Guess what agency he gutted first? Next is NASA and automobile regulations. Anything touching his businesses.
No, he’s gonna blame everyone, make more cuts, fire more people then replace them with idiots, cause more problems and trundle along the same way he’s been doing since last presidency.
So you're saying because one high-ranking official was fired and a freeze on hiring anyone else was enacted, which meant they are working at the current levels they've always had is what caused this?? I'm confused. Or is the problem is that it's just trump??
This is the way - everything should be explained -of what goes really bad should be pointed out- for the public- to understand --because regular folks are as stupid like the morons that elected the orange monkey in the office-
FINALLY the truth comes out! The Wright brothers were wrong! The Almighty Deity of the universe is pissed that we fooled ourselves into thinking we could fly!

Thank you Pete ‘ We need more previous administrative people like yourself to come out and condemn Trump and his horrendous lies -
This was Trumps incompetence his lay offs and cut backs -
Every news channel states the exact opposite so must be listening to Rachel or Jim. What is known..19 controllers in a 30-controller tower. 1000 applications race denied. The helicopter was on a training flight 200 ft above requirement. Night vision & pilot unspecified. The fault was the tower.
I honestly don't think that the change in the staffing in DC had anything to do with this particular accident, that said it was a bad idea to have military helicopters freely crossing the flight paths of landing or departing flights from that airport, relying on visual confirmation only, and...
and to have them operating on different frequencies in the same airspace so communication is impaired.
That said, give Trump a few months and you will have the ability to blame him for his actions in destroying air safety via cuts to the FAA and unqualified leadership making bad decisions.
ATT is a very stressful job. You don’t think that having no leadership, being understaffed, stressed and being demoralized could affect job performance?!?
aircraft using different radio frequencies and communicating through intermediaries, along with military aircraft freely crossing the flight path of commercial aircraft is a recipe for disaster no matter who is in the white house.
At least fmr. Sec.Transport Buttigieg has the balls to call out the incompetence of the felon fascist regime. We need more authoritative voices decrying their deadly vandalism.

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
That Blackhawk flew DIRECTLY into that AA plane and had plenty of time to divert..very Russian-like. I feel this was on purpose. Check it!
