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...😲🙄😏👇🏾

Trump racist efforts to eliminate DEI (diversity initiatives) within the US government just resulted with innocent people dying.

According to recent reports, that plane/helicopter crash on January 29th, resulted from a staffing issue & the failure to follow safety measures.

There already existed a committee that oversaw air safety - the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. However on January 21st, Trump fired all the members of that committee. Arguing that it was a waste of resources. Which is funny because the fucker is now saying that the accident could've been prevented. If only he had not fired those in charge of preventing such accidents.

Also, on January 19th, Elon Musk had asked Trump to fire the director of the Federal Aviation Administration. Because said director demanded Musk's Space X to implement safety measures or else face a hefty fine. The director quit his post the next day, after being pressured to do so. To this day, the FAA does not have a director.

Speaking of the FAA, they had been having a shortage of critical air traffic controllers for years. And of course, Trump made that worse by issuing an anti-DEI executive order to halt recruitement programs that reached out to women and minorities. So now the FAA is limited to only hiring white, straight males.

Speaking of hiring straight white males, Trump appointed Sean Duffy, a former REALITY SHOW "celebrity", to be in charge of travel safety. Who is currently being blasted online for his incompetence and total lack of experience at the job.

I'm posting all of this here, not only because I usually tackle the issues related to DEI. But because the fucking mainstream media refuses to report on Trump's dangerous anti-DEI actions out of fear of facing any repercussions. We're like in freakin' Russia here. With the media being terrified to report facts less they get thrown out a window.

Their silence is complicit, tho. Because they're helping Trump carry out policies that have resulted in people losing their jobs, homes, and as we saw with the recent plane/helicopter crash, even losing their lives.

Anyway, its been less than a month since the orange turd became America's new tyrant. And the country is already fucked.

Have a good day!

As a former passport agent (who approved every damn thing given to me because that was my job and I took an oath to do so) the passport agency fuckery is especially sickening.

Many of you do not know this but I'm an avid follower of figure skating. It's now been confirmed that the plane that crashed in DC was carrying skaters and coaches back from the US Championships that just happened in Witchita. Specifically, it was carrying skaters and coaches from the National Development Camp, which is a training program for juvenile skaters, meaning these were extremely young athletes. As of right now, it is believed there are no survivors. This is so unbelievably sad.

Civil rights attorney and incoming Howard University law professor Kiah Duggins is among the 67 victims who lost their lives in a midair collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter on Wednesday evening. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and all the families affected by this tragic crash.

An absolute tragedy happened to innocent people and young athletes, and this is how Trump meets the moment? JFC.

He is, in real time, working out a way to deflect attention away from his dangerous deregulation policies.

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.

Look. Trump and his administration had nothing to do with the crash in DC. None of his policies are actually really in place yet, and the positions that have shuffled around as the result of his election have not yet had any effect on day to day operations. (When it comes to air travel anyway.)

What we need to be worried about, and hounding him about, is the investigation. THAT is what he and is cronies are going to screw up and screw around with, as we have already seen.
