      He doesn’t need evidence he has “common sense”

      Actual quote from the press conference

      ….

      PAT25(?) announced that they have a visual on the CRJ. ATC instructed them to maintain visual separation and then proceed behind the CRJ. They didn’t. No maydays, no panpans.

      It’s pilot deviation or pilot error.

      What would you be interested in with the black box? If the TAWS warned the CRJ pilots?

      Due to his barren mental landscape, he can only rant about two or three things in a given month.

    For those keeping score, in his journey to fuhrer, you can mark this spot on your “classification of people Trump will put in camps” bingo card.

      Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:

      If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you’ll be able to tell what they’re going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric”.

      They’ll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts.

      (e.g.) “If they start talking about able-bodied people, it’s Medicaid.

    Its like he goes out of his way to project.

    Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?

    I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.

      That might indicate that he recently was informed that he has dementia and that it’s incurable.

      Or maybe he wants all his political opponents and critics declared insane so he can have them tortured with outdated treatments like lobotomies and endless rounds of ECT.

      There is a good chance this was caused in large part by Trump and his enshitification efforts. Right now the entire federal workforce is demoralized by various actions of Traitorapist Trump, degrading the quality of government across all levels. Air traffic controllers are part of the federal workforce. They were also short staffed, which in itself was likely cause by the poor morale. Blaming the hiring of minorities makes no sense given that a big part of the problem was not enough staff.

      Trump knows this and knows that other people will make that connection too, and so him blaming this on DEI was his way of deflect the blame away from his rapid enshitification of government.

      Yup that is how this presidency will be explained. America had the potential to be the greatest country in the world, but it just always remains out of reach, and that fucker you have in charge will irreparable do even more damage.

      I feel sorry for what you (not you in particular) voted for (or what was stolen by the tech bros).

      Hope you make it through this.

      If you dont have a net worth that’s 6 figures minimum, or come from a nice family with a background of being an american “patriot” or otherwise having come from a not-shithole country. then you’re a useless eater.

        “Useless eaters” are a term with a specific history of explicit oppression of the disabled (usually ablism is merely implicit).

          Im aware. Im re-using the term with 21st century moron-think

          I have literally heard strikingly similar arguments to the “useless eaters” rhetoric in refernece to everything from housing, jobs, and even f’ing gadgets.

          have heard maniacs say “we gotta have a depopulation if we’re gonna be able to continue affording our quality of life”

    Next time AF1 goes for a jaunt to pedo-island, the air traffic controllers that trump is insulting have an opportunity to become really American heroes…

      It would be great if every ATC suddenly denied Air Force 1 take off clearance because they “need a little extra time to ensure the president’s safety”
