[fuck-u-maga]

This was made the first time Trump was elected and here we are; planes falling out of the sky

Fucking SHIT. A jet just hit a Blackhawk helicopter in DC. Massive rescue operation is ongoing.

[thingstrumperssay]

Trump got rid of over 100 FAA safety personnel and there has already been a plane and helicopter crash. There has been fatalities.

It hasn't even been ten days yet and Trump has already killed people by getting rid of important policies.

Holy shit, another plane went down, this time in Northeast Philadelphia and it looks like it went down in a residential area.

Edit: link

Tw for fire and a lot of sirens in the background of the video that auto plays.

This is why Donald Trump hates Barack Obama.

Barack Obama reminds the people of just how stupid Donaald Trump is.

There’s no way in hell that MAGA and their followers aren’t privately embarrassed by him...😲🙄😏👇🏾

Anyone knows what this asshole is trying to do? He’s straight up trying to destroy the US from the inside out and trying to get access into the US treasury’s payment system. Pressuring the previous FAA director to resign after the FAA found that spacex was not prioritising safety enough, then now with all the guardrails removed or fired suddenly a Blackhawk slams into a plane and kills everyone on board? And now he’s saying he wants to work with Boeing to produce the new air force one, what can go wrong? Two companies famous for their products malfunctioning in fatal ways. And he’s getting his smelly hands into every government trying to influence them or their alt right population like the AFD. Anyone someone should look into him but they won’t, he’ll personally make sure of that.

Okay, let's talk federal jobs for a minute here. Because if we are going to bring up things like the FAA being understaffed and how it may have effected what happened with the crash in DC, we need to have an accurate picture of what is going on.

It is not Trump's fault (yet) that the FAA is understaffed. Yeah, it has been a chaotic as fuck week to work in any sort of federal job, yeah a lot of new hiring has been screwed up and a lot of scary things have been hurled at current federal workers. But we haven't actually seen the results of that yet. It JUST started.

Federal positions have been understaffed, in the FAA and otherwise, for AWHILE. There are tons of reasons behind those issues, but a big, big one is that getting hired to work ANY federal job takes fucking FOREVER and involves jumping through SO MANY hoops.

My basic, zero security clearance wildland forest dispatcher job with the forest service involved applying in October (with a 25 page resume that basically outlines everything I have ever done since I was born), a background check that took three days for me to fill out and involved contacting people I hadn't spoken to in YEARS (almost had to contact my mother who I am no contact with too), a drug test that I had to do at the drop of the hat ON THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION, getting fingerprints done, and taking a two-hour road trip to a tiny little town because that was the only "local" place that had someone authorized to make my work ID for me (which involved ANOTHER set of fingerprints). Then I had to wait until January to know if I even might have gotten the job, and that was earlier than usual because they were scrambling to get people through the hiring system after the election. Then my actual start date isn't until MARCH.

So it will have been a nearly six month process for a BASIC job. And I'm lucky in that I don't have to move for the job because that would be a whole pile of nonsense. Other people spend a year or more going through the process of getting a federal job.

There's a lot of other reasons places are understaffed, but this stupidly long hiring process plays a big damn role. And it is only going to get longer as the various departments that handle hiring get gutted along with everything else.

President Donald Trump held a press conference today to discuss the tragedy that unfolded last night when a military Blackhawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines passenger plane resulting in over 60+ deaths.

During the press conference, he blamed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, former President Biden and former President Obama for the crash.

President Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee and fired 100 Federal Aviation Administration agents.

Elon Musk forced the FAA Administrator to resign once Trump took office because the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes causing the position to be currently vacant.

Absolutely disgusting.

OK but WHAT THE FUCK

An American plane

An American helicopter

Russian & American passengers, some of whom were teens & families on their way to the skating competition with their coaches

And Trump is blaming... *checks notes* Diversity & Inclusion policies. Because diversity apparently makes flying / travelling dangerous, and the policy led to the wrong people being given important jobs... Even though there's no proof whatsoever that the pilots weren't cishet white guys. And his answer when questioned by the press, asking how he could possibly draw that conclusion? "I have common sense." Which is apparently more important than any evidence or facts.

And it looked like it was the army helicopter that crashed into the plane, not the other way around? But I'm not sure.

I.... WHAT?!?!?!?

I hope all you fuckers who voted the Nazis into power are fucking proud of yourselves. The hell that the USA & world are going to go through over the next 4 years are on your shoulders.
