Regional jet and helicopter collision in DC yesterday. It boggles one mind as to how this could have ever happened in one of the tightest controlled air spaces in the US, but our favorite Felon found it upon himself to blame this on the DEI hiring by the FAA, although as it happens, there was no FAA head till this morning.

At a White House news conference , Trump said the there were no survivors, that the cause of the collision wasn’t clear, and that the miliary and National Transportation Safety Board were investigating. Without evidence, he blamed air traffic controllers, the helicopter pilots and Democratic policies at federal agencies.

“We’ll find out how this disaster occurred and will ensure that nothing like this ever happens again,” he said.

Trump criticized diversity hiring efforts at the FAA, though when pressed about why, he acknowledged there was no evidence that those efforts could be blamed for the collision.

“It just could have been,” he said.

And here is more and looks like he is deflecting the blame. Seems like no head of the FAA and no aviation safety committee either.

Trump Gutted Key Aviation Safety Committee Before D.C. Plane Crash

Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area.

Having worked for the Major Carrier involved and flown into and out of DC many times.

It long ago should of been closed down due to restricted fight path and traffic concerns.
Left open IMHO to allow our elected officials easy access to the Capital.

To early to know in any way what the underlying cause or causes are to be. Confusion over taxed system human error ......

I don't know why anyone bothers responding to "Dondilion", once he spouts off with his nonsense, and gets called on it, he instantly changes the subject to different nonsense, like he did regarding these two posts.

Gonna answer these two questions Dondilion, or will it be yet another nonsense subject change

Input 473:
Visa denials: a common tool used by the US to bring countries in line.
Tariff/the threat of tariff:: another tool.

Rajoo left out an important segment of California's population. I queried.

Trump sounds the same. His White House-so far-couldn't be more different


quote
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But in 10 days, Donald Trump has also frozen federal spending and hiring, offered buyouts to more than two million government workers, and ended federal diversity and transgender-rights efforts. He’s fired nearly two dozen independent inspectors general, rewritten American maps, pardoned Jan. 6 protesters who assaulted police, announced plans to detain migrants at Guantánamo Bay, and undone years of his predecessors’ actions with the stroke of his Sharpie pen.

Trump 2.0 looks and sounds a lot like he did during his first go-around. But this time, the president is far more experienced and surrounded by a team that’s spent years planning for its White House return, unleashing a fusillade of action that is testing the bounds of presidential power, sowing confusion and drawing fury from Democrats unsure how to stop him.

His spending freeze and birthright citizenship EO's were enjoined by the courts within a day of being issued. And yesterday, he blamed the DC plane crash on DEI before the investigation even got started. The second Trump administration is more ideological than it was in his first term, but just as malicious and incompetent.

Thank You. For real. If you want to appear fair & balanced when making your points ya gotta answer the questions your posts give rise to. Otherwise it just looks like "hit & run" posting. "Throw anything at the wall & see what sticks", in other words. You have said things I may agree with, and certainly disagree with, but to see you present both sides tends to make you seem, at least, real.......

I just figured the missing 7 percent in Rajoo's post was the African Americans you asked him about. Perhaps that figure may be low......

[Rajoo]

To clarify, I was quoting the population distribution of San Jose and not California.
Since the 'all others' only constitute 7%, why is this significant?

Re US African Americans are significant. They are the salt of the nation.
