It’s beyond time people stop catering to them here and in real life. Don’t like it fuck off to TexAgs or SEC Rant or some other shitty website Just noticed this was moved to a standalone thread Hahaha you fucking pussies.

Imagine instead of a military chopper it was a civilian airline. People would correctly be calling for the CEO's head. This shouldn't be any different.

January 30Jan 30 Just got back & saw the new thread. So, MTV Bro Secretary of Transportation has already told us "Plane hit other plane. Not good!" - in his expert opinion, of course. What wisdom did Fox News Bro SecDef bestow upon us?

January 30Jan 30 2 minutes ago, Captainant said: This should be in the main thread, it's directly relevant to the crash and the overbusy airspace Why? We all know that the only reason anything bad ever happens, including this crash, is because minorities and women exist and have jobs. The literal President of the United States just told us that. So, case closed.

There's a different conversation that happens on flight maps and SOP for ATC + some of the more technical discussion and whatever the fuck this has devolved into because the president thought it was a good idea to just take over the news.
January 30Jan 30 One of the two pilots on the chopper was a woman. Case closed. DEI killed all these people. Women should not be doing any jobs other than mother, nurse, or school teacher. Federal legislation incoming.

Not just because there was a woman present and she worked for the DoD, but ALSO because there was a gay guy in charge of DoT and maybe also because there are some not-straight-white males working in the FAA. "Diversity, by definition, means incompetence."

January 30Jan 30 You know who is very happy to be under the fold today as everybody swings away at all these pitches in the dirt about this incident? batter up
January 30Jan 30 Popular Post i like this thread, it should stay in DT. the media circus and blame game and ridiculous official statements and press conferences should remain front and center, in the face of those who would pretend this is not our reality.
January 30Jan 30 15 minutes ago, immamac said: yeah, so it's not and stop making this about parties. How would you describe what's going on when the members of a single political party rally around their leader and sing, as a chorus, the tune of "Blame Diversity" with the clear implication that diversity means incompetence? That is a partisan talking point.

I get you’re in a tough spot and I’m not going to berate you. But quotes from and clips of elected officials, cabinet members current and past, and for the goddam president are absolutely essential to a discussion of the current events here and they should not have been moved to this thread, nor should subsequent posts be placed here instead of the other thread and I say fuck those loons if they don’t like it. They want a safe space let them go somewhere else But it’s your sandbox, we just shit in it

It is always difficult to try to divorce current events from politics, and more so than ever now. The fact that this happened in the middle of Trump downsizing federal employees and the fact that he is trying to pin it on the previous administration and bringing up DEI (for some reason) are part of the story.
