Trump doesn’t care how many people die. He takes no responsibility for anything. Remember ?
He’s prez now, not going to jail and had hundreds of toadies kissing his ring. He does not care about the great unwashed out there in magaland.
I’m a 72 year old, straight, liberal, white woman. I told my family I want to marry Pete Buttigieg, but if I can’t, I want to marry Adam Kinzinger. If I can’t marry either one, my life isn’t worth living. And the way this country is being run into the ground, it really isn’t. 😢
Anyone who tries to deliver an on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand presentation is delusional because there is no “other hand.” Trump is an inveterate liar. The Republicans in the House and Senate are literally traitors to the Union for vehemently backing his agenda.
Buttigieg's intelligent, compassionate, and honest response is completely lost on the one the GOPOKW & Conservatives call their Jesus, their Fuhrer, and their Master.
Pete Buttigieg didn't remove members of the FAA before this deadly Crash. Trump did. Trump is claiming because the FAA hired POS & women, this plane crashed. YOU know how crazy this is. How cowardly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5RXWM6Bsow
We already know that Donald Trump simply cannot take responsibility for anything, and is completely unable to fix problems, even if he wanted to build instead of destroy.
As for empathy, sympathy or understanding, he has never showed any of those any more than a parasitic worm.
Trump is an evil, vindictive, disgusting human being. He will never admit a mistake or wrongdoing; he will only lie and/or blame someone else, even when he has the entire government in his pocket. He’ll never consult with experts on how to improve things. His ego won’t allow it.
I am glad Pete Buttigieg responded quickly. It is unconscionable for 45 to point fingers at Others when the actual cause of the crash is not yet known. Oh, and he just made efforts to undermine the FAA. No doubt we will get more of this despicable behavior through the long 4 years ahead.
Though I won’t shed a tear at his demise, it’s clear the rot extends far beyond the tail of the worm peeking out of the apple. All the enablers need to go, too.
Trump literally said disabled ppl are guilty for this
Only disabled ppl I can think of are blind,mute,deaf,idiots,wheelchair
DEi ppl are also LGBTQ,black,women
I doubt blind,mute,deaf,idiots were included in clash
So,wheelchair,LGBTQ,black&women are disabled to him
This post is from yesterday morning. This guy pretty much predicted this would happen because of the felon's vengeful, racist, selfish and unbelievably moronic decisions.
Yes! His husband @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social is online, we’ve been asking him to sway Pete and get his hubby to sign on too! We need them both❤️❤️ they give me so much hope.
I'd very much like to see Pete run, but Biden has allowed Trump to belittle, lie about and run roughshod over him all along. Screw presidential protocol, Biden must defend his record, or it will be lost forever to fascism.
Biden isn't a great orator. The greatest strength of his term was that he brought in excellent people to push for his agenda, mostly, and didn't trip them up. Let those people grow their public awareness by defending against trump now and we'll have a host of good candidates for leadership.
Way to go Pete. From all his interviews done in right wing media, the orange guy does not want to tangle with Buttigieg, he would calmly rip the orange guy apart.
He’s thinking the fastest path to dictatorship. Gut every agency. Install his loyalists. They will all be disastrous just like this is, because they aren’t qualified for the job, and nether is he.
Exactly. Pete Buttigieg is one of our best in the Democratic Party. And, eat shit and die Donald Trump. You prick. Who are you gonna blame next? Harry Potter?
Every flippin’ Democrat in office needs to SHOUT this to the world, on every platform available. And the rest of us need to call/write/email/text our Senators and ask: “Well? Are you going to hold this administration responsible???
His stupid policies are killing Americans-again.
This is what Jim Acosta said before he left CNN on Tuesday 'Don't Give Into The Lies' 'Don't Give Into The Fear' and 'Never Bow Down To A Tyrant'. People are still giving into the lies and fear brought upon by the Orange Crush himself Donald Trump.
The plane crash in Washington last night with 67 fatalities was just the icing on the cake. And it was all under the Orange Crush himself Donald Trump's watch. Nobody else's.
Pete Buttigieg is correct. The orange felon needs to be removed. Frankly, I do not care how. He is totally unfit and bodies are dropping because of him. The Republican party insults us and people are dying because of them. This is a true travesty.
I wish they could hold a special election in Michigan right now and get Pete Buttigieg to the Senate ASAP. Have the election tomorrow. Swear him in on Monday.
To expect a remote ounce of empathy, compassion or genuine humanitarian concern from Trump is out of the question. Blame, shame, divert, and self-centered references is all he's capable of. And yes, he is a massive embarrassment. He embodies apathy, cruelty and an artificial sense of superiority.😖
Apparently, Pete might run for the Senate for MI. Gary Peters, who I’ve never freaking heard of is retiring.
Why doesn’t Peters retire NOW and Gov. Whitmer just appoint Buttigieg asap?
I’m sure he’d win re-election anyway.
It's no one's fault but your own if you've never heard of Gary Peters. He's been there for a decade, was in the house before that and is a ranking member of Homeland Security and Governmental affairs committee.
Not much sympathy to the families of those dead plane passengers. Trump should watch his own news conferences. Vindictive. And, always deflection. Not great. A narcissist to the core.
We're seeing it happen. It's slow and incredibly painful but the 🥊's are coming. We will keep fighting the constant onslaught but we cannot lose ourselves to the insanity. Remember to breathe as we go through this together. Feels worse than childbirth at times.
Not only did Nancy Mace benefit from a DE&I program. She paved the way for the DE&I in the military. Or, at least she would have, if she’d actually served in the military.
Mr. Buttigieg states it plainly and simply. The Idiot and Chief should have prevented this by allowing the ATC to properly staff their posts. Not completely gut the agency in charge of hiring them. Trump should be held accountable for this travesty.
He will do nothing to make anything in America safe. Trump and Elmo have both advocated for a mass extinction event. The goal is not to keep us safe, it is to purge us from the planet.
Senate Dems take note: this is what opposition messaging looks like.
Buttigieg should declare his 2028 candidacy now, like Trump did during Biden’s first year. Run a constant earned media operation, with shadow cabinet pointing out what real qualified leaders would do instead of these clowns.
This accident is the result of ineffective leadership, a growing moral issue, and unnecessary stress that leads to fatigue. Disappointing that trump resorted to blaming.
The administration (Musk et al) will use this crash as an opportunity to declare war on the FAA and privatize ATC services and gut the Airport and Airways Trust Fund (AATF).
As an American living in New Zealand (that has a privatized ATC system) I STRONGLY give counsel against that idea.
Problem is If Biden was still pres the press
Would be awash with comments about Trump blaming Biden for this ..
Now he’s President and the press is awash with comments about Trump blaming Biden for the awful plane crash ..
Can’t figure that out
Dems have lost the messaging battle with Trump !
I'd care a lot more what "Mayo Pete" (with his cringe Obama impersonation) has to say if he had actually done a decent job (or ANY of his job at all) as DoT Secretary. Flying around for ribbon-cutting ceremonies while trains de-railed/airlines failed should disqualify him from any future office.
FINALLY! A very strong Trump supporter in our office has finally had enough with Trump's bullshit. She's pissed off that mango Mussolini is trying to tie DEI into the Potomac crash. Her comment, "he's a disgusting piece of shit." It took long enough.
President starts off fine with kind words, then launches into blaming diversity hiring, Biden, Obama, and rambling about the cause of the crash. Investigation doesn’t even start while recovery is going on.
The press began by calling this President speech “unusual”. Now, NBC reporters are pointing out that the President’s statements are in violation of disaster investigations. Reporters are also anticipating strong pushback
I LOVE Pete. But expecting trump to care, lead, be responsible is naive; like expecting blood from a turnip. Not his plan, intention, or in his nature. His agenda: implementing *Project 2025 period. Much more WWII-like tragedy, suffering and sorrow to come. Good news is-we have their *playbook.
This tragedy is incomprehensible and I’m either getting jaded or learning the game because one of my first thoughts was: I wonder what we’re being distracted from this time.
Wrong, trump should be serving. We elect people to serve us We The People. When the people of the United States begin calling elected officials leaders we doomed ourselves.
"Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch..."
"...President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. 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 and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again."
Just watched the press conference and I’m shocked. He’s blaming DEI for the crash, he’s blaming Obama and Biden for the crash, he’s done the analysis himself and doesn’t need the FAA or the NTSB, I am genuinely worried for America under such a petty, vindictive and ill informed leader
Let's start campaigning for the future. Find a candidate and start now. He did it and look at where is now. Our candidate can react to all his BS in real time and provide a better solution. Let's stop reacting to his "Wag the Dog" BS and do it right this time.
The chaos released onto the world community is why some people may not be able to fully concentrate on their jobs. Trump is at the root of the discontent normal, sane people are experiencing.
True leadership is not forthcoming….at least not until we have brilliant leaders like Pete back in office. We tried to tell people that firing govt employees would be a disaster, now we have some tragic proof.
The administration (Musk et al) will use this crash as an opportunity to declare war on the FAA and privatize ATC services and gut the Airport and Airways Trust Fund (AATF).

Trump is doing what Saudi Russia hired him to do. He is a Trojan Horse; it took 10 years but he got inside. Now he is regurgitating weapons and beginning the attack. This Is War nothing less. How do we attack back? http://cityofangels25.blogspot.com

The viciousness, heartlessness and crassness of this response to the fatal accident...
"You want me to go swimming?"
was much less rhetorical than imagined
He’s prez now, not going to jail and had hundreds of toadies kissing his ring. He does not care about the great unwashed out there in magaland.
Reality TV Guy he knows FAA?
As for empathy, sympathy or understanding, he has never showed any of those any more than a parasitic worm.
America suffers the worst air disaster since 9/11? That about right?

Only disabled ppl I can think of are blind,mute,deaf,idiots,wheelchair
DEi ppl are also LGBTQ,black,women
I doubt blind,mute,deaf,idiots were included in clash
So,wheelchair,LGBTQ,black&women are disabled to him
Stop pointing fingers.
This was an accident. We should care about those people who lost their life. Improve and fix the problem.
Nothing more.
But Trump can’t take anything responsibly.
He is scum.
Trump won't shift.
There may be more incidents.

Again.
Trump FIRED the head of the FAA (through Musk).
Republicans have pushed for decades to add flights to already overloaded airports.
And the right is using death as an excuse to push white supremacy.
Why can't Democrats say that PLAINLY?
Expose every bad move and lie that Trump tells over next four years.
His stupid policies are killing Americans-again.
He has only been in office 12 days.
Why doesn’t Peters retire NOW and Gov. Whitmer just appoint Buttigieg asap?
I’m sure he’d win re-election anyway.
#ExitRowPlease
Trump has to sit down and shut the hell up.
BUTTIGIEG FOR MICHIGAN SENATOR
Buttigieg should declare his 2028 candidacy now, like Trump did during Biden’s first year. Run a constant earned media operation, with shadow cabinet pointing out what real qualified leaders would do instead of these clowns.

Pete Buttigieg‘s toenail has more capacity to be empathetic and lead in an intelligent way than your current president of the United States.
Just lies, hate, and deflection
Heart and mind a void

safety experts LAST NIGHT WEEK! Fuck him and his moron traitor trash supporters!
