So the United Airlines plane whose engine caught fire and forced an evacuation happened in Texas.

How long is it going to take Governor Greg Abbott and MAGA to screech about DEI?

I wish I could tell you, but Abbott and his lackeys usually are the first to fvck it all up. I never know when or what the next edict from Texas’ most corrupt governor can hurt the most people.

luvsgardening.bsky.social•30 days ago

Abbott is another Trump bootlicker. He’ll stick around for photo ops & sound bites, then take the $$ and run.

shaggy210.bsky.social•30 days ago

Run,lol

golfgate.bsky.social•30 days ago

The gas was pumped by a DEI hire, the mechanics mom was DEI, minorities and women were 53.3% of the planes passengers.... and on and on and on

here's a thought, every one classified as a DEI hire by todays's elected Rs call out sick next week and let's just see what happens...

andyspags.bsky.social•30 days ago

The plane burned, I found a scapegoat minority, yada-yada-yada…

janehalldesign.bsky.social•30 days ago

Having done a cursory search on DEI the thing that stands out is that DEI policies have been shown to increase profits in companies that hire from a diverse population.

vincentbardo.bsky.social•30 days ago

It’s not even a question of if. At this point it’s a safe bet it’ll happen. It’s just a matter of when.

otmunderground.bsky.social•30 days ago

Please stop talking about this. I'm about to get on an 8 hour plane flight.

justjasemn.bsky.social•30 days ago

Omg same here

kellybb.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’d love to see a man in a wheelchair blame this (or anything) on DEI with a straight face.

cynalbr.bsky.social•30 days ago

Let the countdown begin

blawnoxlw.bsky.social•30 days ago

No doubt they will. MAGA has had a bone to pick with United's CEO, Scott Kirby, for a while now.

beckscullion.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wait what? This is not normal

1/ He’s been screeching about it for years and punishing state universities for including DEI in their policies and making them reject proposals for conferences that include DEI.

rachelstolexmas.bsky.social•30 days ago

2/ A consortium I’m on cancelled one for this spring because UT wouldn’t approve anything that even hints at DEI. We chose not to have the conference at all because of that. I’m sure he’ll have something stupid to say soon.

robocopperpot.bsky.social•30 days ago

He ain't going nowhere, dei policies would refuse him a ramp, the stupid cunt....

rsouthgate.com•30 days ago

That engine openly identifies as a fire… do you need a more obvious example of a DEI hire?

g-s-d.bsky.social•30 days ago

Maybe today it will be a team of Canadian and Mexican terrorists

travisbear.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’m sure someone who worked on the plane at any stage of its existence had a shade of skin tone that was darker than felon Trump’s. 🙄

safewords.bsky.social•30 days ago

They haven't already done so?

vincentbardo.bsky.social•30 days ago

Right? Trump:

vincentbardo.bsky.social•30 days ago

Ryan Reynolds is a gem. This is the only gif that came up evenly remotely like what I was going for.

charbaby7.bsky.social•30 days ago

I think they should secede from the country LOL🤣Sarcasm, my second best talent.

chillygills.bsky.social•30 days ago

I want to optimistically guess a positive integers' worth of seconds but I'm already holding so many Ls today.

blacniss.bsky.social•30 days ago

NO!!!!!
It's the dwarfs!

mickeymcwilliams.bsky.social•30 days ago

surprised he hasn't already

desireevalenzuela.bsky.social•30 days ago

They're on it. Be patient.

parksidesf.bsky.social•30 days ago

Hold up? Did this happen today?

maralesemann.bsky.social•30 days ago

yup https://www.fox26houston.com/news/united-plane-catches-fire-houstons-bush-airport-pas

danush.bsky.social•30 days ago

Omg

parksidesf.bsky.social•30 days ago

Great! I have a scheduled flight in two weeks. I might just drive the 1500 miles…it’ll be safer!

parksidesf.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you Mara!

dpr36.bsky.social•30 days ago

13 seconds

travkitty.bsky.social•30 days ago

You mean the DEI Governor blaming DEI?

rachelstolexmas.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’ve been saying this for years, I’m glad someone else sees it!

bewellgroomed.bsky.social•30 days ago

JUST had this exact convo with my Mom who lives in ATX.

toejam4u.bsky.social•30 days ago

I give it an hour, maybe two

ml-nyc.bsky.social•30 days ago

Greg Abbott is useless; Trump et al even more-so.

Day-to-day people like ourselves are developing F-up fatigue. At least the UAL crew handled the issue. But how much can the crews continue to handle?

stevedal.bsky.social•29 days ago

Greg Abbott is a DEI hire.

thomas-stone.bsky.social•29 days ago

lol he was duly elected, how is that a dei hire?

stevedal.bsky.social•29 days ago

Accessibility is a key part of DEI. You may want to invest a quarter and go buy a clue.

thomas-stone.bsky.social•29 days ago

Maybe as part of the original meaning. The current meaning in use today is about getting people hired that are diverse

stevedal.bsky.social•29 days ago

Accessibility is and always has been about inclusion.

spikeddoormat.bsky.social•29 days ago

Greg Asshat will get special treatment when the Trumpiban gets around to repealing the Americans With Disabilities Act of course. Although it would be hilarious if he was thrown under the bus by Trump to finish what the tree started.

rosebanditquinn.bsky.social•30 days ago

Well, one thing. Airplane tickets will start getting cheaper, for sure. But no one will want to fly. And watch the Rapist talk about this one price going down. Even though his policies make it unsafe to fly.
