The Trump administration could provide no reason for the dismissal of the committee. The Department of Homeland Security issued the customary response that the committee didn’t align with Trump’s agenda. It doesn’t acknowledge that committees like the Aviation Safety Advisory aren’t about politics and enforcing the right-wing agenda. They are about keeping America safe.
At the time of the plane crash, the FAA was also without a chief, as Michael Whitaker resigned on January 20. His resignation was foreseeable once Trump won re-election, especially since Trump’s right-hand man Elon Musk had attacked Whitaker and demanded his resignation. Instead of prioritizing a replacement for Whitaker, Trump focused on gutting advisory committees and firing TSA heads as the FAA struggled with dangerous staff shortages.

Explain the timeline of how Trump firing top-brass committee members last week had anything to do with any individual pilot's job performance or that of any air traffic control employees.
In what world does this theory make any sense at all other than inside the heads of brainless TDS sufferers who are just looking for any possible reason to say I told you so after your entire world just fell apart?
These are highly skilled positions that require intelligent people who are able to carry out their jobs without needing to be babysat. The entire airline industry and the military doesn't just fall apart or run around like a chicken with its head cut off when some pencil-pushing pindicks at the top get ousted.
But... if they're full of DEI hires that are not qualified for the position and/or can't fucking do anything without a boss looking over their shoulder and barking orders at them all the time, that's a problem we're going to going to have to address going forward.

The DNC uses Bank DEI NGO Pharma money to get power. The RNC uses the Bible belt Mormon Christian Zion Israel Lobby power to get bank money...different ideas but similar goals.
and Spooks within media and their propaganda, foreign groups and pedophile blackmail islands Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Snowden and some Spying Act
and they expected Trump to free Julian Assange, no he got free under Biden
Legit critics??
part of the downfall?

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who used to pilot Black Hawk helicopters as a combat veteran in Iraq, said that letters President Donald Trump's administration sent to federal workers this week asking them to quit their jobs could be partially to blame for the crash. The air traffic controller who was on duty at the time of the crash was performing duties normally done by two controllers.
"[Letters were sent to] some air traffic controllers that are responsible for airspace in the Northeast region. Basically trying to scare them into quitting at a time when we have a shortage of air traffic controllers. So I don’t think the Trump administration is in a strong position right now to start blaming others.”

So Democrats are supposed to show deference to Donald Trump, who won by 1.5 percent — and didn’t even win a majority of the overall vote?
Now, I have a hypothesis about the belief that Democrats should defer to Trump in a way that Republicans never have to Democratic presidents. It is, I suspect, in part a perverse response to Trump’s utter lack of the moral and intellectual qualities we used to expect in a president. I’ve never seen anyone say this explicitly, but as I read it the implicit reasoning goes like this: the fact that Trump won despite his obvious awfulness means that his issues must have resonated powerfully with voters.
But was Trump’s awfulness actually obvious to voters? Not to the low-information voters who provided his margin of victory. And was it even that obvious to voters who followed the news, but only somewhat superficially? The mainstream media heavily sanewashed Trump throughout the campaign.
So why did Trump win? I’ve seen many analyses, some quite elaborate, but to some extent you need to bear in mind that at least some of the people pushing these analyses are in effect talking their own book — making the case that Democrats would have won, or will win in the future, if only they were taking the analyst’s advice. I still haven’t seen anything convincing me that the basic story wasn’t simple, and the same as the story that explains incumbent party defeats around the world.
It's a well-established result that when prices and wages both rise — as they did almost everywhere as economies recovered from Covid, stressing supply chains — workers tend to attribute higher wages to their own efforts, while blaming higher prices on external forces, especially politicians:

This logic is what made 2024, as John Burn-Murdoch put it, a “graveyard of incumbents.” But it didn’t give Trump a mandate to rename the Gulf of Mexico, invade Greenland, shut down the National Institutes of Health, fire DEI administrators or really to do anything besides reduce prices and control illegal immigration (which was already way down.)
Many voters believed that he could do just that; the most recent surveys show Republican voters on average believing that Trump can magically reduce inflation to zero over the next year — and since that’s an average, many of them apparently think he can actually reduce prices, which he indeed promised to do during the campaign:
Expected Percent Changes in Prices during the next year
Source: Briefing Book
He can’t, of course, and has no plan to fight inflation, let alone reduce prices. His most recent blast on the subject is almost pathetic in its lack of ideas, other than the proposition that DEI is somehow responsible for everything bad:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Because Jay Powell and the Fed failed to stop the problem they created with Inflation, I will do it by unleashing American Energy production, slashing Regulation, rebalancing International Trade, and reigniting American Manufacturing, but I will do much more than stopping Inflation, I will make our Country financially, and otherwise, powerful again! The Fed has done a terrible job on Bank Regulation. Treasury is going to lead the effort to cut unnecessary Regulation, and will unleash lending for all American people and businesses. If the Fed had spent less time on DEI, gender ideology, "green" energy, and fake climate change, Inflation would never have been a problem. Instead, we suffered from the worst Inflation in the History of our Country!

6ixStringJack, the Cold Winds of Change are Indeed Blowing:
US President Donald Trump's response to the recent Washington DC plane crash has attracted criticism for being "cold", as he pinned the blame on those with disabilities as he lashed out at DEI policies.
Most recently, he was asked about whether he would visit the grounds upon which the tragic incident took place, to which he responded: "The water? I'm not going to go swimming."
As a result of these harsh responses, many have looked to the past to see Barack Obama's response in a similarly awful situation during his time as US President, with major differences being highlighted by people on social media.

Back in 2009, Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash that resulted in the deaths of 49 people. He said: "Before I begin, I want to say a brief word about the terrible tragedy that took place outside of Buffalo last night. My thoughts and prayers are with the family's and friends who lost loved ones. As always, our thanks go out to the brave first responders who saved people lives and work to keep people safe."

FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities
https://nypost.com/2024/01/14/news/faas-diversity-push-includes-hiring
-people-with-intellectual-and-psychiatric-disabilities/
Quote:
The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.
“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”
The initiative is part of the FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan, which claims “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.”
The FAA’s website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022.
The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation, is a government agency charged with regulating civil aviation and employs roughly 45,000 people.
Big Gay Pete again, huh? The idiot out of podunk Indiana who fucked up everything for years and was only hired because he enjoyed bouncing on his boy's dick.

All eyes have been on the FAA and airline industry in recent days, after a plug door on a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight on Jan. 5.
Good luck if you need to use planes in the near future.
The whole industry now is run by retards, idiots and the unqualified.
