He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.

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."

So many rascal driving MAGAots are about to have their face eaten.

Sucks it will affect decent folks.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 197 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

He might have been looking in a mirror when thinking of what kind of demographic to blame

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

The best take

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 135 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So he’s accepting personal responsibility?

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 30 points 1 week ago

I'm not suggesting he will accept it willingly, we'll have to force it on him, as he is convicted.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 106 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!

So no idea of really how the crash happened, don't have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

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

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 week ago (6 children)

….

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?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 89 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Black box is woke dei hire.

wouldn't have happened if white box.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

New EO just dropped. We're calling them white boxes and painting them to prevent future tragedy.

Of course. Had it been a white box, it would have avoided this crash, we all know that!

You missed an even better joke with white hawk helicopter.

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.

You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 71 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.

[–] amon@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Holy hell it's only been 10 days

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These 10 days have been the longest decade of my life.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Feels like 6 months already. Son of a bitch it's gonna be a long decade.

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.

He doesn't actually care who or what is responsible as long as he can tell people it isn't him.

If he had half a brain he would just say investigations are ongoing whenever asked.

Helicopters go up. Helicopters go down. They go up. They go down.

More Trump projection.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 32 points 1 week ago

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"

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely...

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Has anybody checked to see if the spray tan he uses is known to cause brain damage?

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He’s projecting again

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

Well he's not wrong.

He's technically a public servant (worker) and his actions likely caused problems with ATC/FAA.

[–] ReluctantZen@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago

it could've been

Holy shit. Yeah, and it could also have been you. We don't know right? Just use common sense right?
