    DEI had nothing to do with it.

    He's firing more people even AFTER the incident.

    Just to clarify, Trump lied and doesnt know what he's doing.

    What do you think about the Tariffs, you think that's a good idea too?

    All dwarves are the same. No need to single out a particular identity.

    Unless it's an @astros123 dwarf. Those are the worst.

    I doubt he is overly concerned about it. He doesn’t value all people or lives equally and he has a vision for how he wants the world to be - and sentimentality and empathy aren’t part of it.

    Self preservation and self enrichment.

    There's already been a report that DEI had nothing to do with it. They were understaffed. Would you like the links?

    Also your thoughts on the tariffs?

    The investigation hasn't even gotten legs at this point. All we have are a bunch of hypotheticals.

    I haven't delved into the tariffs. I have no thoughts.

    Well, it's not like they'll show up at our borders because of it. Oh wait--

    Its actually sad. Alot of hospitals in developing countries heavily rely on aid and its been bipartisan for decades. In alot of these areas the us supported hospital is the only hospital anywhere close. Millions of people are probably going to die from this. Its genuinely sad

    You obviously know nothing about what it takes to be qualified as an air traffic controller or you wouldn't even throw DEI into your speculation about preventative measures.

    The two pilots were white. The main pilot was a white male, how was it DEI? @deb4rockets literally did the job and she's telling you it nothing to do with DEI so why bring it up?

    Is it because Trump said so? Is that why?

    Some hypotheticals are based on evidence. Blaming DEI is like blaming a homicidal gremlin - the only place it’s remotely possible is in fantasy fiction.

    God you’re a ****ing idiot.

    Where did I blame DEI?

    Taking your words ... " some hypotheticals are based in evidence". What I clearly stated was that making assumptions (in your case, you are calling them hypotheticals) often makes one look like a ****ing idiot, such as you accusing me of blaming DEI.
    Low IQ post.

    Two pilots of what? Use complete sentences.

    At this point, everything indicates it was the helicopter, not the airliner or the alleged understaffed air traffic controller (which nobody has stated but you). The ATC did its job.

    Are you acting overly emotional because you're a DEI hire?

    The trend of reflexively blaming DEI for every bad thing that happens is tiresome to us and insulting to the victims.

    The only reason DEI is being talked about right now is because of Trump. That's equal parts embarrassing and infuriating.

    I don't find the fact the President is behaving like a ****ing tool in the wake of a tragedy like this funny at all.

    The leader of our country is a sociopath.

    This is one of many disturbing examples of how these government freezes are going to do irreversible damage here and abroad.

    Here's some exerpts from an article about this and our national security......

    There are smart ways to conduct reviews and pursue reform — ways that preserve America’s influence and interests — and then there is the catastrophic path that the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now.

    When foreign assistance is told to stop work, even for 90 days, that means people are fired, expertise is lost, and programs are shut down with no guarantee they’ll start back up, even if they survive the review. It is difficult to exaggerate the reverberating effects of a stop-work order on the ability of such organizations and their programs to continue to function. The cost of suspending and restarting programs like these far exceeds the cost of simply pivoting resources to new priorities.

    Foreign assistance, though charitable, isn’t charity. It’s a strategic investment that safeguards America’s most important interests while reflecting its highest values. It protects the United States from threats abroad before they reach America’s shores, from diseases to fentanyl to terrorism. It helps to combat human trafficking, supports democratic elections, and stems the flow of migration, attacking the root causes that force people to flee. It helps secure critical supply chains and builds markets for U.S. exports while creating jobs at home. And in an era of strategic competition, foreign aid wins influence and allies.

    That’s why foreign assistance has long been a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, seen by both parties as crucial to securing America’s national interests.

    Children will die. Our national security will erode. America’s alliances will suffer. U.S. partners will be at risk. And America’s enemies will rejoice.

    In halting foreign assistance spending, the Trump administration has just put America last, while handing a gift to our biggest adversaries, notably China.

    The two pilots of the blakchawk helicoptor.

    No they were understaffed, its possible they could have caught the mistake if it was two people instead of one at the time.

    No? Im just trying to talk to somebody who believes anything that Trump said and its difficult. Its scary. The guy could say anything and you would believe him.
