Uhm,....Fox News is also msm. They just cheerlead for the other side. BTW, I dont watch politically biased corporate media, like Fox, CNN, PMSNBC, etc.
POS President Chump blames DEI for plane crash
- Thread starter BNIBoiler
- Start date
Of coarse he can, but I expect better. Perhaps that is my mistake, expecting a tiny sliver of human decency while people are mourning their lost, loved ones.
"For air traffic controllers, the Obama administration in 2013 instituted a new hiring system that introduced a biographical questionnaire to attract minorities, underrepresented in the controller corps. The program was criticized, such as in a Fox News report in 2015, as making it harder for more skilled applicants to get hired as controllers.
But Trump, in his first term, left the policy in place, leading to a class-action lawsuit filed in 2019 by Mountain States Legal Foundation. The case was due to go to trial this year.
Moreover, the FAA under Trump in 2019 launched a program to hire controllers using the very criteria he decried at his news conference.
“FAA Provides Aviation Careers to People with Disabilities,” the agency announced on April 11, 2019. The pilot program, the announcement said, would “identify specific opportunities for people with targeted disabilities, empower them and facilitate their entry into a more diverse and inclusive workforce.”
The link under “targeted disabilities” is now dead, but the Wayback Machine retains links from June 2017 and January 2021 that show the page was unchanged during Trump’s tenure. The list included:
- Hearing (total deafness in both ears)
- Vision (Blind)
- Missing Extremities
- Partial Paralysis
- Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy
- Severe intellectual disability
- Psychiatric disability
- Dwarfism
So you constantly defend things he says without..........knowing what he said. I mean........how asinine is that? Your "words mean nothing" BS has been proven to be brainless over and over again. It's just your way of saying you have no defense for the drivel trump spouts, so you've stopped listening to it. You just pretend what the the most powerful man in the world says means nothing. It's a defense mechanism. The only one better at it than you in bone.
Could you update your revolving list of deflections? I mean jfc little man.
Trump is acting like a Tiger with his tail on fire.
He was impeached 3 times, accused of Russia, Russia, Russia, the Ukraine impeachment was a cover up for the Bidens, the FBI wouldn't investigate the irregular goings on with Hunter so he sent Rudy Giuliani over there to find out wtf was going on.
Poor Rudy had his life ruined because of it.
He's been charged with 34 felonies on a book keeping irregularity where no one in Bidens DOJ would take up the case that the statute of limitations had expired on. The Mar Lago documents BS and the FBI Raid even more BS.
Stormy, you know the case where Stormy had to pay Trump $300,000 for lying. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...-trump-losing-defamation-case-appea-rcna21002
So now we need to put up with Trump for 4 years and let's hope we get 8 years of JD Vance to presidentially continue Trump's policies.
LOL. Obama opened this Pandora’s box with his “phone and pen” … just like Harry Reid did with his judge buffoonery… then you guys cry when the shoe’s on the other foot.
“Elections have consequences. I won and you lost, Eric.” - Barack Obama
Yep. I personally told this forum on multiple occasions they should not support what is happening because soon it may not be their guy...well some unrighteous retribution has arrived via captain ahab.
I know. I dont like crony Dem and GOP 'talking point' corporate media. Both parties are the problem, as they have been completely captured by corporate interests.
Your TDS is causing you to be more hysterical than usual.
Point to places where I "constantly defend things he said" without knowing what he said. I challenge you. Back it up, "big man".
I for one, and many other citizens, care very much and applaud his actions in trying to close the southern border to unvetted infiltrators, to rounding up criminals that are in the country illegally, and to trying to track down the 300,000+ migrant children that the DHS Inspector General said in August are unaccounted for.
Which of those do you oppose, 'Big Man."
Trumps not here to make you like him. He doesn't care whether you like him or not. He's here to kick ass, take names, and put America first. Which is what he's doing.
People liked Biden because they thought he was a 'nice guy'. Turns out nice guys don't make good POTUS.
Bob, please don't stop. I'm going to enjoy watching you fly off the handle for the next 4 years every time DJT says something outlandish.
My suggestion....pay more attention to what he does vs what he says. It will cause you much less stress.
Idk, maybe because it's less than 24 hours after the crash and he has ZERO proof.......of anything. Nothing.
Maybe because after starting the speech with a moment of silence and sending out condolences and saying appropriate comments for the moment..........he turns the speech into an attack and blame game for 30 minutes. Is that the time and place for that?
Even if one thinks it's appropriate to blame DEI with no evidence, DO IT THE NEXT DAY IN A DIFFERENT SPEECH. FFS.
You understand that an aircraft goes to visual recognition of other aircraft in these situations. The controller has each aircraft acknowledge sight of the other and the controller is no longer giving instructions.
The stuff trump is doing and will do with expanding executive power is gonna make Obama look like a Boy Scout.
Do you guys even pay attention to anything he's doing besides DEI and the border? C'mon
They haven't even retrieved all the bodies!!!!! Didn't have the black box either lol. Yet trump knows there was a DEI problem that might have caused the crash. Do you people even stop and think about what you're saying jfc? Just bizarro brain dead lemmings. You defend defend the insane without a second thought.
You do not know for a fact that he has ZERO proof.
Just like none of you lemmings knew if he was wrong when he claimed Covid leaked from a lab.

Bottle up those liberal tears, I need them for my morning coffee. I'll send you my address and a Fedex label.
That’s part of my argument. If that is the case then that blows that DEI bs out the window. That’s why you don’t spew political bs before the facts come in after a tragedy.
Far more likely is a staffing issue in the control tower from what I have heard .
But why would there be a staffing problem? Any ideas?
Maybe Mayor Pete, the illustrious recent DOT secretary, would know since he had four years to do something about it.
Doubt it. They had collision avoidance kick in the day before. Somebody with the helis is in deep trouble is my take. Helicopter was also too high allegedly. Just should never happen. Plane can't really do much evasive at that altitude.
It was interesting that two people at the health club mentioned that to me today. It just looked like the copter ran into the plane to them. Seemed like they could have seen the plane to avoid the crash. Who knows for sure?
Don’t know, y’all know more about this DEI crap than I do.
The gay South Bend mayor’s, as you put it, prior credentials is at least comparable to Duffy’s. Duffy being a US Rep. Therefore, is Duffy a DEI hire?
Trump was right. This was caused by DEI. Here, read it for yourself from the NY Times:
A New York Times report saying the air control tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport has been understaffed for years came amid a lawsuit claiming the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) discriminated against air traffic controller applicants based on their race.
The Times report said the tower at the airport was nearly a third below targeted staff levels, with 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023, citing the most recent Air Traffic Controller Workforce Plan, an annual report to Congress that contains target and actual staffing levels.
The targets set by the F.A.A. and the controllers union call for 30.
The lawsuit represents nearly 1,000 individuals who went to school to become air traffic controllers . They passed the normal test to obtain the position right before the Obama administration said the class was too white and threw out the tests with the applicants, the suit alleges.
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who serves as co-counsel for Mountain States Legal Foundation, based in Colorado, is leading efforts for a lawsuit.
"When you travel and have a delay, it’s because there aren’t enough of these people," Laxalt told the Wall Street Journal last year. "When you see these near incidents in air traffic control, it’s because there aren’t enough people. There are only 14,000 air traffic controllers. A thousand were scrapped a decade ago, and the bottom line is they’ve never made up losing all of this pipeline."

Policy administered by that POS Obama was just wrong. The impact of this decision was devastating.
Tell me how any policy that Trump has caused a loss of life to the American people? Unlike Biden with open borders causing sex trafficking, additional fentanyl deaths, and murders. Getting out of Afghanistan more lives lost unnecessarily.
Obama with this DEI crap for air traffic controllers has caused death to many people and grief for their families. The consequences of these policies can’t be measured.
Again tell me how Trump has caused this pain and suffering to the American people?
No, the controller is 100% in charge of his/her sky as my Uncle was an ATC in Chicago for 35 years. Sight recognition while definitely helpful, is NEVER the primary.
