Interesting that DT is calling out all the intellectually disabled folk working in American Aviation, but not the ones reading the New York Post or watching Murdoch’s Fox News

The Imbecile In Chief,has resorted to blaming the plane crash on DEI,even though the 2 pilots,were white,which he also did with the LA bushfires,but like COVID,the moron is totally clueless when he has to respond to a crisis,and blaming others is the D.Heads default position,so as I sat watching his idiotic press conference,with his ridiculous comb over and Orange make up laid on so thick,that it made is eye sockets look like pissholes in the snow,I thought how did this inept clown bluff his way to this position,but when you have a nation where the literacy of 54%of the population is below 6th grade level,this is the result.

I have also just noticed a report where citrus harvesting in California,has predictably come to a halt as the undocumented migrants are too petrified to come to work,and a Farmer has naturally enough explained that the lost crops will result in higher prices passed on to the consumer so,didn’t the hippocrate,who apparently has had a history of employing undocumenteds at his golf courses and Casinos,foresee this ???Or maybe he did and unsurprisingly doesn’t care.

What’s this about one of DT’s lackeys spreading porkies about Israeli’s not being allowed into quaint quirky little ole Kiwisville?

Yes the New York Post,another Murdoch Fox News affiliate,and the cable tv wing of his,if we haven’t forgotten,had to settle and fork out a record1.2 billion settlement for their Dominion voting machine lies,so keep your blinkers on TFAF.

Well i guess you people will never be satisfied. No matter what evidence is presented, Trump will always be the bad guy.
Sad really that you cant look beyond your hatred for a single person and use your own common sense.
Step aside children, the adults are here.

[quote=“BC post=240209 userid=892”]Seriously, this guy needs to be committed. His comments after the plane crash in DC are disgusting.

Trump said the Biden Administration had encouraged the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to hire people “who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative”.

He added the program also allowed the hiring of people with paralysis, epilepsy and dwarfism.

He also claimed that the FAA in the Obama years had determined the agency was “too white”.

All correct claims, i fail to see the issue here.
Quick now change the subject to hide your stupidity.

More interesting is that disabled people reading article or watching the news won’t kill people.

Markets in free fall around the globe on Trumps dumb arse tariff war.

Even the pro Trump WSJ is calling it the dumbest trade war in history.

Prices going up in the US, interest rates will follow, GDP will shrink.

Brace for the impact on us if China slows production, Iron and Coal demand will drop.

What a sh!t show.

Not a decent bone in the blokes body imagine coming out with that tripe after a huge tragedy, utterly disgraceful, another air disaster quickly followed not much to say on that one.

All correct claims, i fail to see the issue here.

Stetson Bob,you really do fit theTrump Supporter below average intelligence profile.You have a tragedy here where lives are lost,people are grieving,do you really think that people no matter there colour,no matter what their sex,no matter what their disability,avert the rigorous protocols you need to qualify to be a pilot or air traffic controller???What you should focus on is why your Village idiot hero has frozen vital public services,like hiring extra Air Traffic Controllers,instead of pandering to morons like you worrying about Trannys and DEIS you clueless imbecile.

Don’t hold back RL. Put it out there mate. :slight_smile:

I understand the rationale behind what he’s trying to do but certainly don’t completely agree with it. If prices of imported goods from Mexico, Canada and China go up, then in theory demand should fall and manufacturers in those countries will start to hurt, tax revenue for their respective governments will drop and so on.

So it will impact the countries he’s targeting to some extent, but I don’t think he’s factored in the inflationary effect in the US and what it could mean for interest rates. The Fed might be very loathe to further cut rates if inflation is rising due to tariffs on imports. He wants to stimulate the economy with low inflation, low unemployment by new jobs created in targeted industries, low interest rates but I’m not sure he’s going to get it.

It’s a big gamble by His Orangeness and I hope for the sake of all our super balances as markets react, it doesn’t come back to bite him on the arse and the rest of us globally.

Utterly bizarre the attack on Canada, all apparently over Fentanyl, Canada counts for about 1% of US Fentanyl use, not to mention the amount of drugs leaving the US for Canada, Cocaine etc plus guns.

Trump playing the big weave. It will all come in beautifully.

Funny how many on this site call people stupid, dumb, clowns, below average. Do these arguments ever advance anything? I sometimes wonder if the person making the accusations is more clever than me or actually the very adjective they charge with.

Either way - best to come up with better arguments than the above.

Probably cut the “I read a more reputable newspaper than you” argument out too - All media partisan.

Put it down to a how can I improve my self int 2025 project. Always room for development boys.

Don’t be too hard on your failings is what I am saying.

Did i hit a nerve? Are you married to a black lesbian air traffic controller, so this is all especially triggering?
Now that your sob story is over, time for the adults to get to work.
DEI is exact that too - averting rigorous protocols to qualify - putting your skin colour or bedroom preferences above competence. Im sorry if that offends you, but its the truth champ.

Oh dear!! The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum. The FAA doesn’t license you as an air traffic controller just because you’re gay, black, insane or a dwarf. It takes hundreds of hours of intense training, psychometric testing, ongoing evaluation and assessment. To insinuate anything else is just ludicrous and really tests the grasp you as a person has on reality.

To think BC, the Trumpets on hear bang about how the “adults” now have control and sanity has finally been restored. …not sure what Bobby means by restored and adult TBH BC.

Well from a unashamed Trump supporter I hope next time you Trump haters are in the skies there isn’t some less able person in the control tower who’s responsibility is to make sure a tragedy like the one in Washington doesn’t happen in the name of DEI.

So let me get this straight DD. Are you saying that because of DEI policies, there was a person in control of air traffic that day who was less able and the cause of the collision? If so, do you have any proof? I’ve not seen anything even remotely suggesting that was the case.

When I say proof, I don’t mean the incoherent ramblings of Musk on X or Trump’s acolytes posting somewhere. Provide some investigative proof otherwise your suggestion is as offensive and disgusting as Trump’s original.
