That is funny you mention thots and prayers. I just heard that and snapped at the tv. That F’g bottomless pit of stupidity mantra. How are those prayers working out? I’d like to hear Joe and Jane average American critique thots and prayers. Or better yet do the socratic Reg play when Joe and Jane ask for thots and prayers.

If prayers worked, the state of Mississippi and the nation of Afghanistan would be shining examples of human wellness, lol.

The plane crash between the civil and military aircraft was only a few miles south of the White House and just after Sean Duffy and Pete Hegseth took control. Will MAGA and their conspiracy driven hive mind see it as a sign from their god?

The Republicans did a lot of praying after the hurricanes and many are calling for  more prayer today. At least Trump was concerned about it!

President Trump blamed diversity requirements at the Federal Aviation Administration and his two Democratic predecessors for the midair collision over the Potomac River on Wednesday night, saying that standards for air traffic controllers had been too lax.

Mr. Trump cited no evidence, and even admitted when pressed that the investigation had only just begun.

Moments later, he blamed the pilots of the Army helicopter that appeared to fly into a passenger jet that was on final approach to Reagan National Airport, across the river from the capital.

Mr. Trump went back and forth between blaming diversity goals that he said were created by President Barack Obama and President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and then saying that an investigation was necessary.

His instant focus on diversity reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens, whether the facts fit or not.

It is something he has done before: After a terrorist attack in New Orleans a month ago, he blamed illegal immigration, even though the attacker was a U.S. citizen born in Texas.

When asked how he could say that diversity hiring was to blame for the crash even though basic facts about the midair collision were still being sought by investigators, he said, “Because I have common sense.”

“For some jobs, we need the highest level of genius,” he said.

Of the F.A.A. under Mr. Obama, Mr. Trump said: “They actually came out with a directive, too white.”

Reg he also concluded by indicating that US is safest nation to fly. I doubt it ever occurred to him that is so (if it is) in spite of the DEI wave he impugns.

Subtext of Trump, the GOP, and their ilk: any govt hires should first meet two basic requirements:

white

male

Forcing the FAA chief to resign on Jan 20th (because he was prosecuting SpaceX for safety violations…)  He wasn’t fired because he quit before they could fire him, but shadow president Musk has been demanding he be fired for months.

Air Traffic Controller Hiring frozen on Jan 21.

Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded Jan 27

Buyout/Retirement threats/demand sent to existing employees, including the stated intent to let go of all first year hires. Jan 28

Jan 29, First American mid-air collision in 16 years.

Sure, it’s because of DEI, or Obama or immigrants or anyone, anyone at all that is not Lord Trump.

@robert – why were those things done?  For what reasons?

To enrich the billionaires. The systematic dismantling of the Federal government is the circle jerk billionaires dream about because it is the only organization that can redistribute their wealth to the masses through taxation. It is stupid of them because eventually and once again there will be revolution, either by voting (if still possible) or by violence when CEOs, millionaires, and their puppet lawmakers/politicians will become targets. Occupy Wallstreet scared the crap out of them, but they forgot already.

Some guy burns qurans and is murdered while on trial for incitement.

I still can’t get over how stupid the lefty ideologues are protecting Islam as an idea. Islam is the living font of evil. And it is the wellspring that just keeps giving. It is utterly illiberal and downright degenerate to preserve it against criticism. Can you imagine it being illegal and politically incorrect to say bad things/offend Nazis, serial killers, pedophiles, rapists? We are talking about Islam. A few billion victims of this cult who are transformed into monsters incapable of thinking for themselves, incapable of critiquing something so frankly evil, incapable in many instances of asserting natural biological sentiments and instead succumbing to the death cult.

Pretty sure he believes he is the best person ever.

If you’re talking about “stupid lefties” like me, first don’t mischaracterize our position. At least in my case, I’m for treating human beings like human beings. It has nothing to do with their stupid theology which is no better than the Christian one.

Genocide is wrong, even when it’s Israel doing it.

Unseen i am still not taking the bait discussing the lefty religion of Jew hatred that you endorse. If you were some dumb university student i would educate you. But i don’t think it is ignorance in your case.

And i aint mischaracterizing jack shit about lefty ideologues. If you are in favor of prosecuting some guy who is burning qurans or making cartoon of the prophet Mohammed, if you are immersed and believe in the fabricated morality play of Jew hatred that diverts attention to the horrors of Islam and islamic states, if you are in favor of the concept of islamophobia, if you are a champion of cultural relativism that’s perpetuating a cycle of terrorism and reprisals that leads to Palestinians in a meat grinder, actual genocide in other parts of the middle and Africa, horrific theocratic regimes that execute innocents en masse, no rights for women, husbands beating wives and children etc.

YOU ARE COMPLICIT.
