I'm worried about where they can take this DEI talking point. The way he said they couldn't have a DEI hire doing a job like this, we need someone really smart to do a job like this. How long before that devolves into can't have this woman/black person/gay person doing this job, we need someone SMART to do it. Another slippery, dangerous slope.
We don’t have to wait for it to devolve into that; it’s already right there in our faces!! Every time he or ANY maga says DEI (it’s really DEIA) they absolutely mean 💯 that no Black, Brown, female, lgbtq, or disabled person is smart enough, or capable enough to MERIT that job. They won’t say those exact words, but they & we know what they mean. 🤬🤬🤬
I just wish people like Usha Vance, Byron Donaldson, Tim Scott, & even ol’ Romp-a-Swampy would figure that out sooner rather than later. They are being used to be their token “other” but once the magas have total power, they will be thrown aside like last weeks garbage.
We all need to band together to prevent that total power grab.
It didn’t take very long, did it? He couldn’t even wait until all the families had been properly notified I suspect.
He is such a disgusting person.
I am a handicapped person, although I never thought of myself that way. I had polio as an infant & was left with semi paralysis of my right arm & left leg; & yet I became an RN & spent 42 yrs in acute care hospitals working OR, ER, ICU.
I guess if the WH resident was having a heart attack, he wouldn’t want this disabled person to use my knowledge to save his life; after all, I fall under that DEIA label. I couldn’t possibly be smart enough, physically capable enough to merit my position as an ICU nurse.
That is exactly what he is implying already, in my opinion. His claim that Pete Buttigieg was a D.E.I. hire was enough for me. So, his being part of the LGBTQIA+ community equals unqualified, because he certainly was intelligent enough and qualified for the job.
Pete Buttigieg ran circles around trump in intelligence, class and grace. No amount of money could buy trump class or grace. It didn't even buy him a good education!
It would never have happened if Pete Buttigieg was still in charge. And the investigation would have been done professionally with experts and not with a crying felon trying to deflect his own responsibility for dismissing all the qualified folks that would have been in place to keep this from happening. Washington air space is the most monitored and secured. The only way for this to have happened was a deliberate terrorist attack by one of the pilots or from some flunky that Trump appointed after dismissing all the experts and qualified people.
It is already there, & has been since the very first time he uttered DEI or CRT. The implication of incompetence of all POC, LGBTQIA+, handicapped persons, & females was the point.
I don’t care who you are, watching the POTUS ramble on during a press conference, in circles mind you, and then make a comment about political BS….wow. Many lives were lost and you’re talking about what should’ve happened with the helicopter and how they work, etc. IN CIRCLES. As a leader(mind you, everyone that spoke after him just kissed his ass), your job is to be a leader, tell the American people what happened, give condolences, and assure everyone that the investigation will go on as necessary but don’t speculate and possibly start to place blame already; which is absolutely what it felt like he did. 
And as I type this, Vance is talking and now sounds like he’s talking about ATC and DEI hiring. Getting good hired in there and how to go forward under Trumps leadership, blah blah. After Trump seemingly mentioned they weren’t to blame. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!??? Listen to the tapes from the ATC and tell me what happened!?? Make it make sense!😡😡😡
To the actual point that matters. Condolences to the actual people effected by this tragedy, the family, friends, first responders, anyone affected by this-that could also include people that are watching this unfold and might be fearful of how to explain this to their kiddos who might be scared/need consoling themselves/anxious. To anyone feeling scared, anxious, sad, etc. about the loss of life, that’s ok. Feel your feels. Much love to everyone. Let’s not make this political please. That is bullshit. And if this post upsets you, please unfriend me now. SERIOUSLY. Thanks. (from my FB-yes, I still have one)
No, you aren’t the least bit out of line or overboard in your statements. I feel the same. What DT, & everyone else who went along with it, said & implied about DEIA & incompetence, placing blame; they are all disgusting low-lifes.
They have no empathy, no human decency at all. 😢 A minimum of 67 people died in that crash, & hundreds of others risked their lives trying to save anyone who might have survived.
A tragedy like this should be used to bring us together in our grief & human decency. It’s heartbreaking for us all that he won’t do that.
So not only was it DEI related but ATC has stupid people working there and it is somehow Biden’s fault? Talk about the blame gymnastics. When does this man ever take accountability? Can you imagine him as a child? Or did he every grow out of that phase
When does he take accountability for anything, or show true empathy for another??? Never, ever. Never has & never will. He threw rocks at a baby, a toddler when he was a kid. There’s probably cruelty to animals in his past also, I know he doesn’t like animals.
Wonder if he also had an inclination toward starting fires; all sociopathic signs.
As someone who works in the aviation industry, safety has always come first. Which is why there are statistically fewer accidents with aircraft than cars. Air traffic controllers and pilots have to have recurrent medicals issued stating that they are fit for their job. They are already smart people. Calling DEI into this is just a ploy to get people to get rid of the program. Unfortunately accidents happen, but the FAA literally has rules written in blood for these things. FAA and NTSB reports don’t even cover ethnicity or gender in their reports. They report on stress, fatigue, illness, medication, drugs/alcohol, eating and emotions. The FAA is more ruthless than the government in my opinion. DJT just doesn’t know what happens within this government agency. He only knows push agenda
I got physically sick when I saw this dumpster fire. I'm still shaking. I'm so angry and disgusted. Mostly I am very sad that I absolutely hate it here.
There is actually a video where a journalist is interviewing him; he tells a blatant lie, the interviewer shows him right to his face that he’s wrong, that he’s lying; and he then just repeats the lie again & keeps on blathering.
Omg Aaron, I can’t even with their nonsense this morning. How can the corruption and lies be so blatant and the rest of the government isn’t doing anything to counteract or stop this? Are we just set to watch it all burn at this point? It’s been 4 agonizing years since he was inaugurated 10 days ago. How much more can we all take?
I was so mad during his press conference, I would like to share my post as it was heated but hope I did my feelings and what others were liking feeling, justice
And my additional comment during the “I’ll take questions” portion—Also, thank God for the press that is questioning him about how he can make this about diversity… And Trump says “because I have common sense” well obviously, you don’t. The fact that everybody in the audience with the press is questioning him on this after the press conference speech part concluded, and he started getting questions, Hmm. yeah, let’s talk about the election when there were almost 70 people that lost their lives last night, let’s continue to make this about you and political. DISGUSTING.
It’s crap like this that drives me insane. What happens, if they all get what they want, when there’s literally nothing but white men doing these jobs and it still happens and probably more frequently??? Who or what will they blame then? There never seems to be a shortage of “others” to blame everything on.
Well, it’s definitely something we must pay attention to; a huge number of active military & veterans, police officers, county sheriffs, etc are rabid DT supporters & many have said right on camera that they would attack the Capitol again & will die for him if necessary.
Those people are the ones I’m afraid of, not an undocumented migrant

Of course, I meant how long until it moves from implication to being spoken outright. I agree with what you're saying though and it's infuriating.

I agree, Buttigieg is more qualified than Trump is.
My dog is more qualified than Trump. He’s an idiot. Placing other idiots in positions of power. God help us.
My cat is more qualified than trump is.
Pete Buttigieg ran circles around trump in intelligence, class and grace. No amount of money could buy trump class or grace. It didn't even buy him a good education!
Of course he is implying that. See my comment at the bottom of these comments.
His implication was very clear.

Wow!! Thanks.
It's going to quickly become smart = cis white males. This is exhausting
It is already there, & has been since the very first time he uttered DEI or CRT. The implication of incompetence of all POC, LGBTQIA+, handicapped persons, & females was the point.
You mean DEI for white cis-males??
That is what he is saying
White intelligent straight men only. People who follow Trump not the Constitution or the law. That's what I got out of today's little speeches.
This will come soon. The question is, will people who are not in the DEI groups actually help people in the DEI groups?
I don’t care who you are, watching the POTUS ramble on during a press conference, in circles mind you, and then make a comment about political BS….wow.

Thank you. I am 73 and was thinking I must be getting senile. Absolutely agree with everything you said. Thank you.
Right behind you at 71! Nice to know the younger generation hasn't given up on thinking!
No, you aren’t the least bit out of line or overboard in your statements. I feel the same. What DT, & everyone else who went along with it, said & implied about DEIA & incompetence, placing blame; they are all disgusting low-lifes.

You've deduced it exactly.. Human decency... something he does not have. d
Keep writing and we will keep reading. Knowing there are like minded individuals helps tremendously in what is proving to be challenging times.
💙🤨💔🕊🎯🫣📰🇺🇸🌎😢😣🇺🇲🫂⚖️🗞🤯💙
How does he have the evidence, but the experts don’t? Yes, Aaron, please hold them accountable! DEI, good grief.
So not only was it DEI related but ATC has stupid people working there and it is somehow Biden’s fault? Talk about the blame gymnastics. When does this man ever take accountability? Can you imagine him as a child? Or did he every grow out of that phase

“Psychological quality????”
Thank you! I was so confused. It’s like he couldn’t figure out what to say so he said “psychological quality”. Like what does that even mean?

Correct, no notes added
He is so disgusting
Well, that didn’t take long. He’s so easy to read.
I got physically sick when I saw this dumpster fire. I'm still shaking. I'm so angry and disgusted. Mostly I am very sad that I absolutely hate it here.
💙🫂😢💙
We saw that coming! Expected, but still infuriating!!
When will he stop with the lies. 😡😡
There is actually a video where a journalist is interviewing him; he tells a blatant lie, the interviewer shows him right to his face that he’s wrong, that he’s lying; and he then just repeats the lie again & keeps on blathering.
It’s astounding
Never, ever.
Omg Aaron, I can’t even with their nonsense this morning. How can the corruption and lies be so blatant and the rest of the government isn’t doing anything to counteract or stop this? Are we just set to watch it all burn at this point? It’s been 4 agonizing years since he was inaugurated 10 days ago. How much more can we all take?
Where’s a L M when you really need one?
If they add Trump to the mountain it’s gonna get blown up.

So, a military Blackhawk clearly flew directly into a civilian flight. Presumably with soldiers on board.
-The New Orleans killer was a veteran.
-The Cybertruck explosion at Trump tower was done by a Special Forces guy.
-And we can't forget the armored humvee that was never recovered after a military base was raided while the LA fires were raging.
Anyone else seeing a pattern here?
Well, it’s definitely something we must pay attention to; a huge number of active military & veterans, police officers, county sheriffs, etc are rabid DT supporters & many have said right on camera that they would attack the Capitol again & will die for him if necessary.
