not exactly trumps fault now, but rip to all

Have a feeling if the Irish government decided to gut the Irish Aviation Authority over an accusation of DEI hiring practices, and a week later a passenger plane crashed in Dublin with an Irish army helicopter, I somehow have a feeling they'd have questions to answer in the Dail, and resignations would rightly be called for. God forbid such a thing would ever happen.

And this is exactly the type of faux outrage that handed Trump the White House in the first place

Non stop, every single day, relentless Orange Man Bad diatribes

And when it comes out that Trumps actions had absolutely nothing to do with this incident, anyone and everyone who spread it is now tarred with the "fake news" brush

So when the next "real" story breaks no one will really pay any attention to it

Let's see what comes out, but no doubt there'll be immediate blame cast in all political directions as with everything. Whether woke helicopter pilots or vital cogs being indiscriminately fired as part of Trump's loyalty test-based "restructuring".

From the ATC recording on The NY Times site, it sounded like they were communicating with both crews.

Obvious question is why the f**k a military helicopter was flying on a path that brought it so close to an active landing glide slope? Planes were coming in every two minutes. And second obvious question is what caused the helicopter to continue on a collision course?


Look-Up!

Not a fan of the TDS brigade myself, but this is exactly the type of faux outrage Trump would engage in himself if something like this happened on Biden's watch.

And he is the one who took to twitter in the first place to talk shite about it and blame ATC before any sort of investigation is launched or full facts available. Way out of order! As much so as Obama was getting involved with a grand jury investigation and trying to push influence with public opinion.

Team Trump or Trump himself will come out with the so called "real" story and you'll choose to believe it?

Well CNN have already had to apologize so using my vast experience and intuition I'm going to call BS that Trumps actions had anything to do with it

CNN absolutely should apologise. Completely shitty thing to be tweeting without knowing full facts and a plane full of dead children at the bottom of a river. Disgusting really with what their families are having to deal with at the moment.

And Trumps tweet equally out of order. And from the leader of the country no less. Completely classless and unprofessional. There will be a time and place for determining the cause but now is not it.

And BTW I hope the bit about vast experience and intuition was firmly tongue in cheek.

Will  Trump's reponse today implicating Biden/Obama DEI policies for the crash have any influence on those who voted for him due to "faux outrage"?
