Originally published at: The Buck Stops With Women And Minorities - TPM – Talking Points Memo
After what was arguably the first major tragedy of his second term in office, President Trump held an extraordinary press conference. Speaking from behind the podium in the White House briefing room, Trump painted a terrifying picture. “We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas,…

“There’s never going to be a tragedy if you’re in a different elevation,” he continued. “For whatever reason, they were at the same elevation. … They should have been at a different height.”
Brilliant analysis by the stable genius. Prof. Irwin Corey couldn’t have done better.
Blame the whole thing on your “Democrat” predecessor, while you’re at it.
Calling Trump “craven” is asking the word to carry too big a burden.

Surprised he didn’t throw Jimmy Carter into his blame mix.

Trump also trotted out Transportation Secretary and veteran of MTV’s “Real World/Road Rules Challenge” Sean Duffy who stressed that the administration will “only accept the best and the brightest in positions of safety.”
Thanks you for this. This is the kind of shade I live for.

Mother of gods…if I were related to this fckg moron I’d have had him to be admitted to a memory care unit years ago.
He shouldn’t be allowed out of his room.

“when an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas to Reagan Washington National Airport collided with an Army helicopter.”
Can you please change the wording of this, which I’ve seen on multiple sites (so it’s not just TPM). This implies that the AA flight was at fault for crashing into the helicopter.
“when an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas to Reagan Washington National Airport and an Army helicopter collided.”

Helicopters only go up and down, water drains down from Canada because it is higher up on a 2-D map, forest fires happen because people don’t rake their dead leaves, windmills cause cancer and make whales insane, accidents happen because women and negroes are running the show. My great grandfather, who only completed 7th grade and barely spoke English, would have known better. This terrorist (can we start calling him that?) is not only evil and consumed with hate, but incredibly stupid. The University of Pennsylvania has some explaining to do.

When asked about how the WH will observe Black History Month, the bimbo Pres Secretary basically said. “ALL history matters”

“They shouldn’t have been at the same height. You’re going with — in reverse directions or sideways directions — obviously you want to be at different heights,”
I think we can declare ourselves officially great again now.
It’s easy to see why morons look up to him. They are in awe of his ability to outdo even them.

I’m shocked he didn’t say he knew all about flight since his brother was a pilot.

Today was awful, rage-inducing. But I don’t think this act of his is going to be sustainable, somethings gotta give - he’s losing his grip in obvious ways, and the stress hopefully speeds this process up.
There’s a lot of talk here about impending violence, and I understand where it’s coming from, and it’s not irrational to believe it could get bad.
One alternate scenario I can see if I squint is he’s a drooling, rambling fool that eventually not even the most craven R’s can ignore it. But I’m a dreamer…

I cannot believe this “gentleman” signs an Executive Memo today blaming Obama and Biden for the crash due to DEI and “incompentent” hires (you know who he means, wink wink). Even going after disabled hires.
In fact, DEI goes back to the Johnson years, but Obama did introduce DEI aspects in 2013 for the FAA, which Rump left intact. Rump then added his own “disabled” FAA hire policy in his 1st term. https://wapo.st/3Cy3Pc6

There is some irony in that this occurred at the airport named for the president who fired the air traffic controllers.

It is time for plain speaking. The President of the United States is insane. Not merely ignorant, malicious, narcissistic, sadistic or sociopathic, but insane. There is no use in denying it any longer.
