Good info here: youtu.be/_3gD_lnBNu0?...

❗️The moment a U.S. Army UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter collides with a Bombardier CRJ700 passenger jet in 🇺🇸Washington, D.C.

What I have not yet heard alluded to is that the military helicopter was transmitting on UHF well the American Airlines flight was on VHF, so we're not hearing each other!! #47 brilliantly deduced and appeared to be surprised that the aircraft were both at the same altitude when they collided!!

Cont: Then last week the idiot in charge thought it would be a great idea to further gut the safety side of the FAA by wholesale firing the advisory council. This would not have helped last nights accident, which was years in the making, but it will certainly impact the FAAs ability to react to it

Hegseth: this is the best guy you guys can put forth?!? Let's flip the card and listen to the screams from the Grifting Old Party over "not qualified!!" GMAFB! This is not a slippery slope. This is a cliff!

I believe Voldemort might just be a racist idiot. Now we'll see if a 6-3 SCOTUS agrees that we don't need any EO anymore, because that problem has been solved.

"Drill baby, drill" "Kill baby, kill" Left the Paris Climate Accord (again) and Reinstated the Federal Death Penalty (but pardoned the Silk Road perp)

As many have mentioned, Inaugural speeches are usually about Country. This one was about "Me me me me me!" No surprise.

At least it's not the "Gulf of Voldemort"

I'm trying out substitute words. Voldemort, or He Who Shall Not Be Named are in the running.
