#dcplanecrash

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Reading that the army helicopter involved in the #dcplanecrash was on a training exercise for govt continuity to rehearse getting senior leaders out of the capital to safety in emergency situations reminds me of another unpopular opinion of mine: no nuclear bunkers for politicians. Give them a real sense of jeopardy & urgent imperative to resolve international crises without having bolt holes to escape to.

The moment he lets his own lame excuse crash.
Not only DEI hires but more specifically the disabled # were to blame.
With this signature he doomed US plane passengers, creating chaos within the FAA and dept. of transportation.

Trump's shameless executive order blaming DEI for a tragic plane crash reveals his pathetic attempt to scapegoat diversity initiatives instead of waiting for actual investigative findings"

Hey guys did you know hiring people with darker skin and funny accents causes plane crashes?

Just ask #trump cuz he is blaming the plane accident in #washingtondc on diversity hiring practices.

Not him gutting the FAA like a definition of the stupidest person I know.

You know what the last thing I would ever cut is?

The guy in charge of whether flying planes is perfectly safe or 100% deadly for everyone involved.

There's a hoax by #rightwing U.S. billionaires to blame everything on #DEI, #LGBTQIaplus , and AFABs (including cis women).

#Billionaires were behind the campaign to oust a District Attorney ('black' cis female) and a mayor (Asian American cis female) In the East Bay.

Billionaires kept pushing the narrative that downtown San Francisco was crime -ridden and the shops were empty because of the mayor (a 'black' cis woman). Real reasons: COVID, high rent (retail), high cost of living, according to my mum's friends who live there.

'DEI hires' are to blame for the #DCplanecrash. That lie was told by Trump and his flying nazi monkeys before anyone knew or cared what the pilots looked like. The crash was caused by longstanding problems (ex: Lack of air traffic controllers) Nothing to do with the pilots.

Wealthy #farright media loonies, GOP, etc. in U.S. blame DEI, a 'black' female mayor, & 'white' women assumed to be #LGBTQ for #LAWildfires.

Even 'white' cis men are blamed for wildfires (CA Gov Newsom), or smeared during campaigns (SF candidate Aaron Peskin) if they're not the 'right (wing) kind of 'white man'

A different version of 'we lost WWI because of the Jews' narrative.

Right from the start the #OrangeBlob already knows who to blame.
Former secretary Buttigieg of transport has some explanations too:
in only nine days #Trump has succeeded in creating chaos and disruption.
