I'm embarrassed for Trump supporters

But the fascists have the bully pulpit so we pretty much have to expect a LIE or wrong info every time they speak or write.

No permanent FAA Chief on trump's watch!

     Questions swirled in Washington on Thursday
as the Federal Aviation Administration began its investigation
of the Reagan airport crash without a permanent leader –
its former chief resigned 10 days ago,
after Elon Musk, the close adviser to [the convicted FELON]
called for him to quit!!

Michael Whitaker, a 30-year aviation industry veteran,
was unanimously confirmed as FAA administrator by
the Senate in October 2023. He resigned last Monday,
the day Trump was inaugurated as president.

@fubah2

 Do you have more context other than plagiarizing some left wing media site? We know you can copy and paste, do you have your own thoughts, research as to what you posted about? This was all so fresh this morning so more context to create discussion would be helpful. Or did you just post to antagonize? 

Liar Trump claims to put safety first.  Before DC collision, his administration notified air traffic controllers urging them to quit and accept buyouts.  Air traffic controllers association is concerned about the consequences of losing experienced aviation safety personnel during staffing shortage.

AP; An official with OPM, which made the resignation offers, said air traffic controllers are exempt from a hiring freeze that Trump announced on taking office on Jan. 20 and they are not eligible for a buyout even though they were sent the offer. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal government operations.

There's no evidence that the White House effort to downsize government played any role in the collision, with shortages of air traffic controllers long predating Trump taking office

I agree but why would he insinuate this could be DEI related?

No evidence supports Trump claim that DEI hiring lead to air collision.  He wants to return to ugly era of unfair discrimination before  1960s civil rights movement.  However DEI programs aim for true merit based hiring to ensure the most qualified people have a equal chance of being hired. 

World condemns Trump crazy plan for Gaza.  He proposes evicting millions of Palestinians from their home and taking over Gaza with military.  This would violate international law and depart from decades of US policy supporting a Palestinian state.  Under Biden, international respect improved for the US.  However under Trump, international respect declined.

@thirdperson

 It was disgusting watching Trump in the same room as Netty but Biden sat on his hands and did nothing in fear of the Israel vote block during the election cycle, the US sat by watching Israel run a war of terror on the entire region and did nothing.

Shame on Biden for allowing this and shame on Trump for engaging with a fellow dictator and saying stupid garbage like rehoming the Palestinians like they are cattle.

@Midnight1

Probably the same reason he did the same thing when a terrorist murdered people in New Orleans supposedly after crossing the border from Mexico a few days earlier

And for the same general reason he insisted the black immigrants in Springfield were roaming the streets eating US citizen's cats and dogs

Meritocracy aims for true merit based hiring to ensure the most qualified people are being hired.  

There, fixed it for you !! 

Yup, I'm all for the most qualified person getting hired.

How about RFK Jr? Is he the most qualified available to run HHS?

He wouldn't be my first choice... 

Apparently he was the only choice after he threw his support to the Donald on the campaign trail.

Even many republicans are questioning this choice.....but it seems apparent that the der Fuhrer wants to mock Dems by placing "former Dems" in high ranking admin positions....

EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING!

Trump Picked Chiefs To Win SB

FORBES -

[the CONVICTED FELON] said in a Fox News interview
which aired before the Super Bowl on Sunday
he’s picking the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Eagles! 

    This rare prediction comes after he feuded with the Eagles
following their 2018 Super Bowl victory when 
most of the team declined to celebrate at the White House with him.  

Karma  

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing what they do

National nuclear security administration is a critical agency but Trump administration ignored lists of essential workers from managers.  CNN reports that Trump administration is working on rehiring fired nuclear stockpile workers.

@thirdperson

 Yes, the GOP Circus & Clown Show has returned

More fun & follies to follow!

I think we all want efficiency in government.   When you throw a bomb at something your left with rubble ( I believe General Milley said that ) .   

It takes effort to win at sports betting or running the government efficiently.  Unless effort is put forth before simply a stroke of the pen it’s going to be a bunch of rubble unfortunately in my opinion.  

As Jessie Jackson said Keep hope alive :)

@TheBuddah

 You’re right . 

Does anyone know if the Donald stayed around for the start of the Daytona 500 this past weekend?

It costs millions to fly his ass & that of his entourage on AF1. Ditto for the Super Bowl.

Extra security at the event I believe is covered by NASCAR but not sure.

Very expensive photo ops paid by us.

So much for cutting government spending.

For thee but not for me kind of thing, huh?

You’re smart enough to know that they all do it right ?
