“We may never find out what caused this terrible tragedy, but rest assured that a minority was involved.”
I agree with trumps sentiment. Old, fat, stupid, senile people should not be in positions that need to make critical decisions.
Awh, they hurt themself in their own stupidity. :(
It’s okay, Donnie boy, we all know how stupid you are. :')
He’s going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I’m calling it.
it’s in project 2025
It’s ALL fucking in there. Every day since Jan 20 is in there.
Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:
“If they keep the details [of the recent closed-door meeting] quiet, 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 the cuts.”
(e.g.) “If they start talking about able-bodied people, it’s Medicaid.”

So no idea of rally how the crash happened, don’t have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.
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?
TCAS doesn’t give resolution advisories (alerts that say to climb or descend to avoid traffic) below 1000’. It does have a warning noise still, but from my understanding it’s common for it to go off on approach due to all the other aircraft around and on the ground at the airport, so it may have been ignored.
Wouldn’t that be TCAS?
You right. Helicopters aren’t terrain. My bad
Black box is woke dei hire.
wouldn’t have happened if white box.
New EO just dropped. We’re calling them white boxes and painting them to prevent future tragedy.
This is even funnier because black boxes are bright orange

Are we sure Trump isn’t a black box in disguise? 🤔
Grey is the new aryan white:
Of course. Had it been a white box, it would have avoided this crash, we all know that!
/s
You missed an even better joke with white hawk helicopter.
Looks more like rainbow colored to me.
Black Box in a black hawk. I mean come on
The ATC queries them multiple times if they have visual on the CRJ and they repeatedly respond in the affirmative.
also the published helicopter corridor has them maintain a ceiling of 200 feet, they were well above 350 at the time of the collision.
It’s either pilot negligence or instrument failure.
also TCAS is inactive below
800900 feet.It’s pilot error or deviation. You have the CRJ in sight. You are responsible for maintaining visual separation. Full stop. Instrument failure does not apply to your eyes.
Helicopters go up. Helicopters go down. They go up. They go down.
~ super intellectual president
So he’s accepting personal responsibility?
I’m not suggesting he will accept it willingly, we’ll have to force it on him, as he is convicted.
More Trump projection.
Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.
The best take
He might have been looking in a mirror when thinking of what kind of demographic to blame
You killed 67 people, and it’s only been a month of your “presidency.”
A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.
Feels like 6 months already. Son of a bitch it’s gonna be a long decade.
Holy hell it’s only been 10 days
4 more years
Not if he gets that 3rd term…
Oh joy! /s
These 10 days have been the longest decade of my life.
Cue in captain america’s gif.
Trump is America’s Asshole.
One mooch
I only said month because even when he wasn’t president yet, they were already making moves like he was. But you are correct it’s ONLY been 10 fucking days.
It’s only been barely a week, bro…
TrumpBodyCount = TrumpBodyCount + 67
I don’t even know how you factor in other travesties. Like letting all those J6 criminals out of prison. One of them already had to be put down by a cop during a traffic stop. How do you factor that, when the safest option was to keep them in prison?
Think of all the covid deaths, place responsibility where it belongs, right in his lap. 1000 deaths on average per week, I don’t have the long covid disabilities numbers ‘off the top of my head’, but they are even more.
As much as Trump is absolutely terrible, Biden was equally responsible for the large number of COVID deaths. His administration made the CDC completely abandon masking, ventilation, and other preventative guidance, almost completely abandon or hide COVID statistics, and he also said that the pandemic was “over”. Credit both of them, a pair of terrible presidents.
“Equally responsible.” You’re out of your mind. 1 million COVID deaths under Trump. What kind of numbers you got for Biden?
Our rating: False
The post overstates the number of COVID-19 deaths reported in the U.S. during Trump’s presidency. At the time Trump left office in January 2021, the death toll had surpassed 400,000, according to multiple health organizations. The U.S. marked 1 million COVID-19 deaths in May 2022.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States
Deaths 1,212,505[3] (reported) 1,197,470 (CDC estimate)[6]
That means that about twice as many people in the US died from COVID under Biden’s administration than under Trump’s (1.2 million minus 400,000 = 800,000.
Granted, Biden had a lot longer time dealing with the pandemic than Trump did, but this was all just to point out that Biden ALSO sucked in his handling of COVID.
Trump’s entire handling of the pandemic including telling his cult members not to respect the advice of professionals continued to kill people until we hit 1 million. That’s roughly four months into Biden’s presidency. You can’t lay any of that on Biden.
What effects do you think Biden telling the CDC to stop pushing for masking, ventilation, vaccination, and reporting on COVID, and then telling the country that the pandemic was over had on COVID deaths?
Like I said, yes, Trump did a uniquely terrible job handling COVID (except for project warp speed to push for ultra-fast development of vaccines), but it’s flabbergasting to see people speak as if Biden did nothing wrong in his own handling of the pandemic.
I’m not saying he was perfect. I’m saying the ideas pushed by Trump, Qanon, and other far right and conspiracy theory peddlers had already done their damage. By the time Biden took office, everyone had long ago sided with science or conspiracies. I doubt he convinced very many people one way or the other.

No he wasn’t. You don’t blame the guy who gets on the train after it was allowed to get up to speed and run out of control, for not being able to stop it fast enough.
You got a little bit of a point. Even if “equally” may be an exaggeration, you can certainly blame Biden for essentially dropping the push for masking, ventilation, vaccinations, and reporting of COVID. I do and always will. Like I said, both of them sucked regarding COVID.
I hate Trump as much as anyone else here, but I fail to see how his FAA firings cause this accident. Can you explain how this is his fault?
That article says that they have been dealing with staffing issues for some time.
And you don’t think the firing of even more employees didn’t have an effect?
Not in that incident, no. It may affect the future, but that incident seemed to be pilot error according to the ATC recordings.
Trump plays to the American egregor of the CEO as Kingmaker. Literally proposes frequently running the USA as a business.
When you are the CEO the responsibility of the entire thing lies with you.
Now I don’t agree with Trump, but it’s merely holding him to his own standards.
When you put it that way, I agree. You want to be the king, you take the blame.
The Buck Stops With Trump. You have no idea what directives Pete Hegseth gave the Pentagon which effected the orders, maintenance, or operation of the BlackHawk Helicopter which flew into the plane killing everyone. When incompetence is put in charge, things break, sometimes slowly, sometimes immediately, and when you purposefully throw a monkey wrench into the internal operations of state organs, people die. And now people have died, on Donald Trump’s watch. The Buck Stops With Him as it has with all other Presidents before him.
The entire federal workforce has extremely poor morale right now because of Traitorapist Trump. And the poor morale likely also caused the 2nd problem of not enough workers doing air traffic control. Trump’s enshitification efforts have already had time to take effect. The quality of government has already been degraded.

That’s some stupid fucking horseshit. It would be nearly impossible to fire a large part of an organization without a noticeable effect. Here we have fatal evidence of that. Yeah people assume you’re coming in bad faith because how could we not?
I’m all for making Trump look bad, so is you feel that this will damage him, I’m in. I just want to see some evidence or an ATC that would agree.
Trump loves to blame people for things they have no direct control over, like blaming Boden for the cost of eggs, while taking credit for anything positive that happens while he is in office that had nothing to do with him.
I assumed OP was mocking that attitude, but could be wrong.
I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!
He caused this to happen with his various actions of enshitifying the quality of government.
Oh, now I remember. His press conferences during the first time were like rallies, just blurting random shower thoughts out.
…If the Dems had just advertised his first term conferences verbatim, no extra context, no picking and choosing, just shown them, they would have easily won.
No, people would have said “don’t just be against Trump, tell us what you’re for” and still stayed home.
They did in fact tell America what they’re for an America wasn’t in the market for it.
The people who paid no attention to his press conferences, tweets, and actions during his first term are not people who were paying any attention to Democratic messaging.
The dude with the intellectual disabilities is in the White House gutting the FAA
It’s time to preorder Trump’s guide to being a good conservative: “Everything bad that happens is the fault of the people I hate”
Has anybody checked to see if the spray tan he uses is known to cause brain damage?
Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely…
