      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.

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

    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.

    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.

      ….

      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?

        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.

        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.

      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.

          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.

          “Equally responsible.” You’re out of your mind. 1 million COVID deaths under Trump. What kind of numbers you got for Biden?

      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?

    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.

      No because the plan is to blame literally everything that goes wrong on minorities.

        Instead of Trump’s own major enshitification of the quality of government causing the morale of federal workers to plummet.

      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.
