    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.

      Never give up a good or even bad opportunity to try and throw someone in front of a bus. An opportunity not seized is a opportunity missed.

    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.

      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.

      ….

      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.

      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?

      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?

        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.

        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.

        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?

        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.
