There is no other president in the history of this country that slept at his own golf club every weekend. Every other president slept in the White House (that’s why it’s there and called “House”).

Except the president doesn’t usually fly regularly to the same place every other week just because he prefers it over the WH.

I don’t think they were convinced of anything I think they have literally no idea what those words mean outside of “deficit”

So normally I would come on here and call conservatives a bunch of pejoratives, but I’ve had a number of social media interactions that make me think perhaps people legitimately don’t understand how economics and government budgets work. So this is going to be a rare, good-faith attempt from me to explain this stuff…

This is so fucking stupid. All of it.

I mean the GOP is basically 100% victim mentality.

The US is the biggest bully since the pre 1940's British Empire. We are not ripped off or exploited by anyone. When our military or dollar-policy says “Jump”, other countries ask “How high?”. This current Administration has such a victim-mentality, or more accurately, exploits the massive desire of the populace to…

“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said.

And nobody - NOBODY - raises prices for nonsense corollary reasons like the oil industry. Tidal wave in Philippines? Gas gets more expensive. Russia invades Ukraine? Gas gets more expensive. Gas is too expensive? Gas gets more expensive.

Fun Fact: Tariffs cause non-impacted products to raise their price because they can raise them and still be cheaper.

All those deplorables are about to enroll in Econ 101 and learn how tariffs work.  Should be hilarious.

Never have we seen a president so quick to turn a very tragic accident into a political issue. He was turning it into a political weapon before the bodies could be pulled form the water and families notified. It’s disgusting and horrific.

Agree with all of that, but gutting the FAA purely for political reasons will definitely not make anything better and can instead lead to even more horrific accidents and work and supervision is missed and safety measure slip through the cracks.

The fact is two aircraft collided, and 67 people will not be going home to their loved ones.

If Trump’s buyout offer really did include ATCs then he’s doing worse than the nothing past presidents have done.  He is wrecking shit to such an extent it makes even my normally non-conspiratorial mind wonder if he’s not working for someone other than... us.

I’m a local. Some congress critter from flyover country is already trying to rename Dulles (IAD) to Trump.

Shouldn’t you be telling Trump that? Trump is the one blaming ‘DEI’ for the plane crash.

I engage with ATC personnel dozens of times a year. While I don’t fly myself anymore, I ride right seat in a GA aircraft probably 100 hours/year, nearly always IFR, which means a lot of communication. On the ground, I design airport projects which interface with ATC rules, and often often have controllers as part of…

Naming an airport after the guy that fired 11,000 air traffic controllers is peak republican.

Venture capital/private equity are the epitome of unchecked greed. They destroy whatever they touch because their focus is on strictly making money, not longevity of the company.
