Which is how trump and Biden are indistinguishable at times. Old geriatrics that don't select the most qualified but based on other criteria...

Correct. And, what if another accident happens before the "right time"? Thus the problem with "compassionate care". It's great to be compassionate and save somene's feelings, but not at the cost of human life. And in the end, preservation of life outweighs your feelings 100 out of 100 times.

The Biden admin had 4 years of DEI hires all through the federal government. This was the Biden admins #1 agenda and it will have a very long impact on us all for many years.

During the Patel hearing, a Democrat lauded the current FBI under Wray saying that his recruitment has been higher than any time in FBI history. This recruitment took place under DEI so we can all rest assured the standards used was not even close the the FBI standards of the FBI days before politicization.

The Biden admin stocked the government with political activist and it's going to be very difficult to clean them out. This is why Trump is going to be unapologetic and not waste time trying to be nice to all the weak politicians.

Trump doesn't have that filter. He is obviously frustrated.

Democrats coined something about never letting an opportunity slip by...unless it's against them of course.

The preacher at the National Cathedral was wrong and Trump is wrong in this instance. Wait until the facts come out. Speculating creates terrible rumors.


Agreed. I understand its a balance between waiting and letting others set the narrative...Trump is off a bit on this one.

No. When people are paying attention is when these things MUST be stated.

This ideology is putting everyone in danger. Full stop. Some people need it shoved in their faces.

Interesting. So this video tells us nothing about the Biden administration's hiring goals?

Or maybe even wait 5-6 years like the CIA did with Covid, right?

I'd bet Trump knew enough about the incident before dawn to feel comfortable with making the statement. Just as he did with the origins of Covid. If you haven't learned by now that, while he certainly bombastic, he doesn't make those types of comments without having some evidence, then you're being intentionally obtuse. His timing may not be appropriate- in YOUR OPINION. But thats...an opinion.

Why wait?? You're the POTUS. You have 10 million other serious important things to worry about in addition the plane crash. You have the information in 2-3 hours, you're just going to sit on it & get around to it tomorrow?

That's Biden talk there

TLDR Summary: The Brigida v. Buttigieg lawsuit stems from the FAA's controversial decision in 2014 to supplement a standardized cognitive testing procedure for air traffic controller candidates with a biographical background questionnaire.

Intense lobbying efforts to increase diversity within the FAA by the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees led to this change in determining the qualification of ATC applicants.

The lawsuit claims that qualified applicants for ATC positions were rejected for subjective and politically oriented reasons since the new application criteria led to massive rejection of qualified applicants, including those whose AT-SAT scores were in in the upper percentile of ATC applicants.

The coordination and response from Trump’s entire WH teams seems light years ahead of what we witnessed at this point in 2017. In public comments, Trump is of course still Trump: he seems just as likely to speak off script and go on tangents.

Yet what is different is Trump’s media team seems prepared and fully capable of pushing back against scripted media narratives before they can gain a foothold. Because of this new dynamic, Trump himself appears less combative, emboldened and confident because of his team’s ability to stay focused on pushing his agenda.

It’s easy to see how people would consider blaming DEI — the L.A. Fires killed 29 people, displaced entire communities, cost over 100+ billion, & are still burning in parts bc of DEI.

* The Santa Ynez reservoir was empty, so firefighters stood with their dicks in their hands watching Altadena turn into an inferno. DWP CEO & DEI hire Janice Quinones let it sit empty for a year. She has 1 job.

* L.A. mayor Karen Bass campaign-promised not to leave the country. She’s told 1 week before the fires that there are gonna be fires. She leaves the country. Meanwhile, over 100 fire engines sit unrepaired.

* The L.A. Deputy Mayor Brian Williams — in charge of the fire department — wasn’t around for the fires bc he’d been put on administrative leave in Dec for calling in bomb threats to City Hall. You can’t make this shite up.

The incompetence of these DEI hires killed people & destroyed entire communities.
