POLITICAL THREAD

[sambowieshin]

You just seem to be a nasty person. Smh

Hilarious. Trump is hurling conspiracy theories, blame and wild accusations about a tragic plane accident before all the bodies are even recovered ... I criticize him for his mean spirited shitty leadership... And I'm nasty.
BTW....first major plane disaster since 2009 on Dump's watch.
Pete B. said it best.
"Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again."

Trump sucks

1. No, it isn't.
2. No, it isn't.
3. No, it isn't.
4. Yeah, I can, but you're too ignorant to understand.

Trump announced today that they know that some of the remote workers had 2nd jobs during worktime hours of their gov't jobs... They're going to investigate. (wishing the smokin' emoji was still here)

 

[FusterCluck]

If it were true, the self check out lady wouldn't need to check my ID when I buy some fizzy pop.
I've looked in the mirror and under 21 never occurs to me. 😐

As I understand it, it's like this at Costco. All your info is in your application... no ID required.

I have a mad crush on Tulsi Gabbard.

I still don't trust her fully. I'm all for 'people can change', but i'm just not into her voting record and the fact that it took her 40+ years to achieve common sense. Those are not qualities I'm looking for in a gov't leader.

However, the fact that the establishment can't hide their fear of her has my ear.

 

[HeismaNole]

Not a good businessman.

Only the richest man on the planet because of his business acumen. 🙄

Everyone knows Biden enriching himself and his family through shell companies and selling government favors and having a government trillions in debt is much more impressive than any success in the private sector.

It really is pathetic to see Dems scrutinize Trump’s business success all while they celebrate people who have created NOTHING! Politicians who have never done anything in the private sector but sell favors, do insider trading, etc.

I would trust a small business owner from Nebraska to run something more than I would Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden or Kamala.

the last entry might be the best. It's a bit elementary, but it does the job of explaining in laymen terms with graphics

I echo these thoughts.

Especially with the WEF affiliation, but the fact that establishment peeps spied on her and don’t want her is interesting. Or maybe this is reverse psychology. 😂

 

[sambowieshin]

Either of the Sam's have thoughts on this? I know at least one of you railed on and on and on about Trump (even though he wasn't even in office) stopping that (disaster of a) bill and claiming All the problems coulda been solved if they hadn't stopped that bill.

Trump is doing every bit of it with EOs. Biden used EOs to slow down border traffic too his last few months in office. The Dems tried to codify many of these same changes and fund it as well but Trump trashed the border bill.
Trump's border EOs are as valuable as used toilet paper the day he leaves office. Border control built on a foundation of sh**.
Pass some GD laws that must be carried out regardless of the next political party in the White House.

 

[FusterCluck]

Same. Both of my doctors(one is an immunologist) actually discouraged me from getting additional shots until more studies are done. And I have RA, which is an autoimmune disease.

I’ve had COVID twice since the shots(even though Biden said we would not get COVID if we got the shots)

I've had zero shots, never got "covid"...

In June of last year, my health went south very quickly. Not a cough, not a chest cold, just exhaustion, complete body soreness, prolonged headaches, dizziness, loss of sleep and the worst case of perpetual brain fog you can imagine. I used to laugh at the ideo of brain fog, but that ish is REAL. I mean, looking directly at the keyboard and you brain cannot make sense of what it is seeing and catching yourself just staring at the wall not thinking anything for long stretches of time. It was awful. I've had a massive HA and spent a week in a coma and I'd take that again over what I was going thru for 6 months last year. Missed several days of work before figuring out how to deal with symptoms while trying to figure out what was wrong. They thought I might be pre-diabetic or have insulin resistance, but no. Thought it was a gluten intolerance (which differs from celiac disease, which is interesting) that broke my blood-brain barrier. Nope. Finally learned I had long covid. 1 course of Ivermectin and I was straightened out in about 2 weeks.

Still not taking any shots.

BTW- if you are dealing with this issue, you need some NSAIDs, some meclazene and some Zyrtec to treat the symptoms. Anything else you can get to decrease inflammation like elderberry, quecertin, turmeric, etc. You'll also need to stop eating sugar and carbs to help stop any possible inflammatory reactions. It all helps. Put an icebag on your neck and on the top of your head... your brain is likely swollen/swelling. Find a doc that will write the correct script.

EDIT: I forgot to add that the precursor to all of this was my BP jumping 25 points in just a few days and it stayed that way until i was better. They had to put me back on BP meds to control it.

Crazy that sam is so confident if a democrat gets in office after Trump, they’ll revoke all his EO’s and rip the border wide open. I mean, it’s the one thing he’s ever been right about.

Biden intentionally kept the border open, Trump has closed it, and Sam will vote for someone who will open it again to try and destroy America.

People are still coming across the border claiming ASYLUM because that is the law of the land. Trump can try to stop it but it is illegal until he passes a law.
That's what I'm referring to.

 

[SDC888]

As I said a week or so ago....the magnitude of the liberal stupidity is 1000X worse than before the inauguration. These blowhards would rather live in rat shit than have anything related to Trump make their lives better. They are insufferable and truly vile peasants.

It's not enough for them to be wrong and to suffer that indignity: they want everyone else to suffer the consequences of them being wrong.

If you think the FAA diversity program caused the crash then I don’t know what to say. If you think the FAA would put a pilot up there that’s unqualified, you’re moronic. If you think they’d put someone in charge of ATC at a busy important airport like Raegan airport just because of DEI and not because they’re qualified, then you’re dumber than I thought.

Read this and see if you can figure it out.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jan/30/faa-diversity-hiring-practices-scrutiny-long-air-d/

Diversity goals at the FAA ramped up during the Obama administration, were largely dropped under Mr. Trump’s first term and resumed under President Biden.

During the Obama and Biden administrations, the FAA prioritized hiring more minorities and those with disabilities for key positions, including those in air traffic control.

The Biden-era FAA website, now scrubbed, said, “The FAA’s mission involves securing the skies of a diverse nation. It only makes sense that the workforce responsible for that mission reflects the nation.”

In 2022, the FAA pledged to “diversify its workforce by rethinking its hiring practices,” and administration officials assigned long-term goals to amplify diversity, accessibility and LGBTQ issues.

A 2022 performance target required that the agency “host a national symposium with internal and external stakeholders to socialize efforts on the use of gender-neutral language at FAA.”

The FAA declared 2023 a “Year of Inclusion” and held a three-day symposium that trained FAA employees to understand the impact of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and to overcome and unmask “unconscious bias.”

The FAA’s focus on diversity began under the Obama administration. In 2013, the FAA started using a “biographical assessment” to increase the hiring of preferred minority racial groups at air traffic control centers. The assessment asked applicants about their participation in school sports and the age at which they started earning money.

The assessment disqualified more experienced, qualified applicants, many of whom were Air Traffic Collegiate Training graduates or had other critical experience, such as a pilot’s license.

More than 3,000 rejected applicants filed a lawsuit claiming discrimination. The FAA dropped the biographical assessment in 2018 after Congress enacted a law banning its use

[bigblueinsanity]

Lol blood pressure. This is the dei stuff people are talking about and it absolutely led to all the near misses the last few years.

That said, Trump should let someone else say it. Anyone who thinks it already supports him, so he isn't gaining anything.

Also imo it looks intentional. No idea how this could happen otherwise. Cant imagine helicopters just hang around busy airports at night. They were told about the departing and incoming planes. If it wasn't intentional, it was gross stupidity.

Top US accident investigator says close calls between planes show that aviation is under stress

The nation’s top accident investigator says a surge in close calls between planes at U.S. airports this year is a clear warning sign that aviation is under stress.

We already have thousands of pages of federal statutes re: immigration law.

This is a very interesting topic, that I'd almost like to bring up in the RTO thread.

There are a LOT of jobs out there, that you certainly could do for 20 hours, do just enough, and then do a 2nd remote job for the other 20. There's no real way to find out if you're remote, other than if there was something that flags in the payroll system. I'm sure theres quite a few people double dipping. I've thought about it myself, and have thought about the prospect of "if I take a new job, when do I tell my employer? Wait 2 weeks? a month?", and basically take two salaries for a while.

It sounds messed up, might not be morally right.. but hard to turn down what would potentially be free money.

Supposedly it was a female pilot.

There's your answer, gentlemen.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Have been busy all day and haven’t really been able to follow many of the details about the crash, but what I have seen or heard sounds really bizarre how this could possibly have happened. It could be a really tragic human error. But frankly right now if FEELS like it could more likely be an intentional act. May be totally wrong, I don’t know.

Nope. Just a female given control over a helicopter. Supposedly ~500 hours of flight experience.

Do any of you guys trust your women to drive you around?

Who knows, maybe she was having a hormonal thing, or that time of the month, amd she did it intentionally.

I suspect incompetence.

Nuff said.

'No Immigrant Should Be Detained,' Says Left-Wing Nonprofit With $769 Million Federal Immigration Contract

Read that she was the co-pilot....but....since this was a 'training mission' and the pilot had over a 1000 hours....it makes you wonder who was actually flying at the time.
Think I heard where this type of chopper does not have a 'black box' so unless they radioed to the Army base field who was or was not in control we may never know.

My friend's neighbor, the one who's child was on the spectrum with severe autism, went out of their way to let them know about how the jab hit their family. Their younger sibling (late 20s-early 30s) lived in Eastern Europe and had gotten a new job. They had ZERO health issues and were in great shape physically. Had avoided the shots to that point but had to get them to start the new position with this company. Got the first one of two and was found dead at home within 12 hours. No evident outward physical harm, and no other explanation.
