Condolences to everyone who lost family and friends in the crash AA flight 5342. Many young skaters and their coaches and parents were on board, coming back from the Development Camp. My condolences to all, but a particular mention to Maxim Naumov who lost both of his parents/coaches.

I'm so devastated about the crash. there were so many talented skaters on that flight and its so awful and wrong what happened. Spencer Lane is one of my biggest inspirations, he started late but he is sooo talented, i strive to be like him. my heart is heavy for all the victims and their families.

Really Don?

The bodies aren't even cold yet and you're blaming DEI? Couldn't you at least wait like, half a day so that we know why this even happened before making an assumption on what you wish it was? Now you've given the inevitable "he was President so it's his fault!" criticisms more weight by giving them a sizable grain of truth to wrap any future lies or exaggerations in, not to mention giving them free clearance to start politicizing things so soon because, hey, he did it first. Just when I thought I couldn't respect the guy any less, he reminds us all that he is still the same man who called John McCain a coward for spending years getting tortured.

American Airlines flight 5342 hits helicopter

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Walter Einenkel at Daily Kos:

President Donald Trump held a press conference on Thursday to address the late-night crash between a commercial airplane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter.  Unsurprisingly, Trump used the tragedy to play a blame game that included everything from President Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg, to the helicopter pilot and “dwarfism.”  After telling reporters that there will be an investigation, Trump launched into a—frequently contradictory—litany of reasons that he and his new, unqualified Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy would not take any responsibility.   “The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems,” Trump claimed, before generating an incorrect retelling of the Federal Aviation Administration’s hiring policies.

“Obama-Biden and the Democrats put policy first, and they put politics at a level that nobody's ever seen because this was the lowest level,” he blathered.  Trump also mentioned a mythical “Obama policy” that he claims to have changed at least four times.  “Biden came in, and he changed it,” Trump added as a reason why the FAA is no longer up to his standards.  Trump went on to blame the crash on the 2020 election results, which he refuses to accept to this day. [...] “The FAA's website states they include hearing vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism,” he said. But the FAA's inclusion of disabled people has actually been an active policy since 2013. Trump didn’t just work under that policy during his first term, but he even launched his own FAA disability outreach initiative in 2019.

Donald Trump’s presser today on the Potomac River mid-flight collision reveals why many people hate him: turning an press conference on the tragedy into his own grievancefest, such as baselessly blaming DEI policies for last night’s plane crash and past Democratic predecessors.

Regarding the disaster in DC, id like to kindly suggest that the “free thinkers” on tik tok currently offering their unsolicited two cent conspiracy theories shut the FUCK up. Jesus Christ this country is so fucking cooked. The bodies of the dead haven’t even floated to the surface of the Potomac yet and your instinctual response is to posit some fucking Neanderthal drivel theory about how it was an inside job? The families of nearly 70 dead people are flooding call centers and learning of the death of their brother, wife, friend, son, etc, and your response is to fucking spew Q-anon sewage out of your rotten mouth? No wonder trump fucking won. Truly and unequivocally Embarrassing. Fucking hell.
