Impossible. Luigi and I were white water rafting in Idaho on the day of the murder. Luigi and I love white water rafting.

30 years guys.

You know how I know you’re an unserious person that I can ignore now? When you’re on the ropes you jump on an obvious typo. So long loser.

Ah god damnit you’re right. Here I thought people were consistent and rational.

Does he understand how weak this makes him look? This little girl is making your job difficult? But you’re a big strong man with a mandate, and youve said it almost a dozen times now, you know exactly where these criminals are. Which is it? Wittle bitty AOC is a big meanie head that’s making it hawd to find deeze big bad criminal maniacs. Or you know exactly where they are and we have nothing to worry about. If you know where they are and you have ample evidence of their crimes getting a warrant shouldn’t be any problem at all and there’s nothing AOC can do or say to stop you.

WHICH IS IT!?

Oh that’s right it’s the one where YOU want to violate rights and YOU want to break laws and having people be informed of their rights means you can’t be a tyrant.

So no one came dance to what I’m saying but you can? Even your metaphors lack cohesion. Guess it’s hard to come up with something coherent when you don’t live in the real world.

Still dancing. You’re stiiilllll dancing.

You don’t seem to understand anything. It’s a yes or no question.

Is the current administration’s Israel policy preferable to you?

You’re not answering because only a psychopath would say yes. But saying no, if you voted 3rd party, is admitting you fucked up. That’s why you avoid it. You can’t admit you’re wrong.

Yeah I just didn’t think Tom was that funny. Eddie Murphy fucking killed it though. Holy shit!

That would require humility and talent. Neither of which they possess.

…The Capitalist attitude… FTFY. This isn’t an exclusively American problem.

I’d prefer you answer my question. Are you happy with the current administration’s policy?

True. It’s going to be bad. But it’s hard to pin the blame on trumpmfor the past incidents. The firings just happened

Yes. There are thousands of aviation incidents and accidents every year in the US. None of those have been scheduled carriers. General aviation, crop dustets, flight training, etc… The DC crash was notable because it’s the first fatalities due to mishap on a US SCHEDULED air carrier (called part 121 in the industry) since 2009. Emphasis on scheduled. Because of the notability Since then there has been increased scrutiny on aviation which is why you’ve heard about 2 of the other 3 at all. So 4 since trump took office isn’t remarkable. In fact, I’d wager there’s been a lot more.

Now does firing 100s of controllers make the ATC system more safe? No. That’s gonna be a disaster.

The Helo pilot said the words “traffic in sight…” In the world of aviation that is you saying “I am taking responsibility for traffic separation”. The controller isn’t in the cockpit, the controller has no choice but to take the pilot at their word. The pilot then followed that up with “…request visual separation.” Which is an even more assertive way of saying “I know what I’m doing, I am responsible for separation”. He said it twice. The ATC system is built on multual trust in eachother and professionalism.

The question “did the controller give clear guidance” is moot. The pilot took responsibility for traffic separation. At that point ATC is not responsible for traffic separation. If I want ATC to take responsibility for my safety I say “(Plane call sign) is looking for traffic” then ATC tells me desend, turn, speed up, slow down, etc…

As an aviator with a degree in aviation I can honestly say this. It’s a miracle it’s taken this long for something this bad to happen. No administration, from Regan onwards, has done anything about the ATC shortage (nothing effective anyway). I’m friends with controllers, I’ve been to several ATC facilities, what they do everyday is a fucking miracle. While it’s easy to point at the DC crash and the other subsequent crashes and say “see, Trump did it” the truth is far more nuanced and systemic than that. Also, in my opinion, the DC crash is 100% on the helicopter pilots.

Is what Trump doing now going to help the situation? Fuck no. We need more controllers. Better pay, better benefits, and more slots at the ATC academy.

No, we’re not pretending that at all. Is the current administrations policy better?

Are you happy with the current administration’s Israel policy though?

Let me preface this by saying I don’t like trump, at all. But his powerlessness was nothing in comparison to whoever that democratic congresswoman outside the treasury building when DOGE was in there doing god knows what. Dems take the cake on appearing powerless, and that needs to change.

Surely this will bring down the price of eggs
