I’m so sorry I really don’t mean to be harsh. I really don’t but this is a stupid take. What is your problem? Omg.

Are you 19 years old by chance ?

You want our 116 year old investigative institution to be dismantled and replaced by who? Trump loyalists?

You have to be crazy. Or 19 years. There’s no other explanation.

I should have known when your example of extreme Democrat policy was that black people can say the N word and others can’t.

What a waste of time.

Give me a 7th floor name in DC FBI last 8 years and I'll point out where he/she needs to be investigated.

cococandy:
Your man just signed an executive order blaming Obama and Biden for the plane crash. 😭

Can’t make this parody reality up.

Those policies by Obama and Biden need to be revoked . You think they should not?
I'm Loving this unbiased Chatbot.

During President Obama's administration, several measures were implemented regarding the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers. Here are the key points:

Shift from Merit-Based Hiring: The Obama administration directed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to move away from strictly merit-based hiring criteria. This change aimed to promote diversity within the workforce.
Affirmative Action Policies: The administration introduced affirmative action policies that encouraged the hiring of candidates from underrepresented groups, which sparked debates about the effectiveness and fairness of such measures.
Legal Challenges: These hiring practices faced scrutiny and legal challenges, including a class-action lawsuit that highlighted concerns over the qualifications of candidates being overlooked in favor of diversity initiatives.
These measures were part of a broader effort to enhance diversity in federal employment, but they also led to significant discussions about the balance between diversity and merit in critical roles like air traffic control.

GloriousGbola:
this means you must have busted a nut over this accident - because this is the reality of the 'crushing of the deep state'

you think you can replace decades of experience with a stroke of a pen?

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/30/politics/senior-fbi-leaders-demoted-wray/index.html



continue your purges of competent personnel for lapdogs with no institution experience , competence and whose only qualification is loyalty to the dear leader

this is the story playing out across government agencies

the new dawn and the golden age you have been celebrating - this is the reality

you have been shouting and cheering over liberal tears - you think those in the accident were liberals only? you think only liberals are crying now?

I'm a frequent flyer and that's why I'm looking at pilot error esp the helicopter. I also want qualified ATCs everywhere.

Politics. The swamp needs to go down. FBI should be dismantled and rebuilt afresh. If you backtrack a few days I had posted 60 plus names Kash Patel listed in his book of corrupt deep state actors over the past 8-10 years. Corrupt pieces of shit, including Joe Biden

GloriousGbola:
all you are doing is repeating talking points you want to hear. you spent the last 3 hours flailing your hands until your echo chamber came out with the answer you wanted

like i said - you will have 4 years to shout dei until you are hoarse over every disaster this incompetent clown is going to bring upon America

For the last 3 hours I have been repeated that it's an accident that can happen anytime.
I have 4 years getting a maga boner at how Trump will be crushing the deep state.

GloriousGbola:
you said this about boeing
you have 4 years to sit in lockstep with trump blaming every disaster on DEI
it will be interesting watching

fortunately for you, you are not an american - so none of this will touch you
so it will be easy for you to parrot bs and inane talking points because you are unaffected by avoidable tragedies

nothing you as a nigerian, do not see everyday from plane crashes to tankers falling on roads to 600mw electricity


now you will have a front seat to see how these things come about in real time

I'm blaming pilot error not political correctness on this disaster.You don't bring DEI to ATC hiring by all means unless you have some loose nuts and bolts in your head. I have been severally in some cockpits and I'm regularly on small propeller aircraft , the ATC job is critical ,no mistake should be allowed

GloriousGbola:
This is a warning of a taste of what is to come if these jokers go through with their doge nonsense.

And if trump goes through with his silly plan to exit federal workers

And the plan to kill agencies like fema

We saw it happen with covid.

Safety laws and rules are written in blood. Regulations exist for a reason.

But trump has gotten away with skirting regulations all his life, and he has been shouting deep state and convincing poorly educated Americans that loyalty to him is more important than actual competence

You think his dui secretary of state can handle a real emergency? You think the military will be up to task if they have antivaxxers and are deployed to lagos with mosquitoes?

This is reality. Not wrestling kayfabe, not all the silly reduction of politics to a sports slogan.

Not trolling and gloating about liberal tears

As we say in Nigeria - everybody go collect.

The FAA was deemed as being too white.

As of now I believe the air crash was most likely a helicopter pilot error.

There was a case of an ATC guiding a plane which almost crashed into a mountain.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/air-traffic-controller-accidentally-sends-plane-close-mountains/story?id=44301266

An ATC does not do his job as a Democrat or Republican, his primary job is air safety .

RFK Jr nomination hearing . He categorically told senators that they are recipients of millions from medical and food industry. Both republicans and Democrats on the committee are recipients.
Democrats as expected turned the hearing into a circus, mainly because they have to oppose and also because their gravy train is at risk from RFK Jr.

Senators like Governors also need time limits . Too much corruption , democrat and republiccans may be compromised.

Former senator Bob Menedez was jailed for 11 years this week for accepting bribes. His daughter Alicia Menedez,an anchor at MSNBC calls Trump a felon. GRRR. He is not the only one from both parties who has received bribes.
IC community must have something especially on democrats and RINOs.
The democrats are bitterly opposed to the other two nominees , Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel . The two know very well how corrupt democrats have committed crimes over the last 8 years. These nominations are no longer a question of vettng the best person for the job but of covering up crimes.And Trump needs to have everything exposed.

cococandy:
You don’t have to mention DEI. Your guy Trump did. That’s what we’re talking about.

You shoe won’t bend if you admit for once that he’s put his foot in his mouth one too many times.

I don’t need you quoting FAS report to me. I can read it myself.

I don't necessarily agree with Trump on this one. There are many possibilities as to what led to the mid air crash.

cococandy:
So they were understaffed. What is your big revelation in this? That gutting safety committees whose jobs probably include making sure that staffing is up to code didn’t somehow lead to this?

I'm quoting an FAA initial report. I have not mentioned DEI or staffing, I think that situation happens all the time where one ATC is controlling plane and helicopter flights. There is the visual component of pilots especially near a busy airport which should have saved the day. It's just an accident that can happen.
Whether he fired the committee or the FAA head, the ATC works in real time ,every second counts. Your bosses have no say in your guiding the pilots on where ,when and how to land .

bemeruca:
They were watching them on a collision course. They didn't warn the jet or the black hawk. They knew the altitude was about the same for both. I think Trump knows something. That's why he was calling the tower for their incompetence. He also dragged the army. Why are they training at night at a busy airport?

They are saying night vision can inhibit distance estimations , but a plane when landing is fully lit up like a mall.

bemeruca:
The helicopter was in communication with the tower, they asked if they see the plane and the helicopter pilot said yes. Unfortunately, there was another plane taking off if you watch the crash video. That's the plane he sees not the one he collided with.

I think it's just a mistake, Murphys Law . "If anything can go wrong it will".
There is always that possibility that a crash can occur in air despite every technology available.

IjeBos:
The racism that comes out of his mouth...
He wants to make it so that every black person in the US will be thought to be unqualified for their jobs despite their years of education and excellence.
And what's sad, a lot of Black people in this thread aid him in that.

If you ever went to Harvard, it was due to DEI.

cococandy:
Apparently there was a near miss at this same very busy airport before this collision. Thank goodness we didn’t end up with two collisions.

So only a bullish hard headed person who doesn’t understand how the system works would mess with the balance of their staffing/supervisors without adequate alternatives already in place and operating optimally.

Not a word of condolence or consolation to the country before he went off on a rant. As he always did in his first term.

Never been a leader. Never will be. You can’t buy leadership qualities.

A preliminary FAA report on the collision found that air traffic control tower staffing at Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) was "not normal" for the amount of air traffic and for the time of day, a source with knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The tower typically has a controller that focuses specifically on helicopter traffic. But at the time of the crash last night, the source said, one controller at DCA was overseeing both airplane and helicopter activity.

armyofone:
Why boardroom picture when you have never held real office job or been in an executive position?
Everything should not be pose pose now, should it ?

Pose like mother of all nations or mama white house instead of acting like you are leading a ceo meetings or trying to do PowerPoint presentations.

Next slide

I'm liking AI a lot.
Maybe you didn't know the First lady has a fully functional office at the WH.

Michelle Obama:
Had a staff of 15 directly under her, plus 3 more in the Office of the White House Social Secretary, totaling 18 staff members.
Melania Trump:
Maintained a smaller team with 12 staff members, which is significantly less than her predecessor.
Jill Biden:
Reports indicate that Jill Biden's staff is nearly twice the size of Melania Trump's, although specific numbers can vary. Recent estimates suggest she has around 20 staff members

You almost said she should have used a portrait of her in a swimsuit

IjeBos:
Let me be blunt.
I think these posts with you demonstrated what I was talking about.
You came here to say that something was extreme but when giving the opportunity to explain why, you couldn't.
It was glaringly obvious esp. with your Keystone example.

The media has been captured by right wing propaganda to such a degree that people hear the same phrases over and over, internalize them and don't even spend time trying to understand them for themselves.
I'm not saying it's your fault, but that is exactly what you just did.

That's why Basilico can write pages of pages of nonsensical posts filled with half truths and lies because he really doesn't understand 1/4 of the things he writes because he treats the nonsense he gets from Right Wing propaganda as truth.

I don't fall into the trap of the terminology, right, left, center. I don't think being moderate is being in the middle of Liberals and Conservatives.
I think you should figure out your morals/values, study each issue and then put your values towards them.

The problem for the US and this thread, people are no longer studying the issues, just ranting based on propaganda they heard. And it's usually the Trumpers.
You can't spend your time lying about living in the US, or doing a 180 reversal on your position of who you think Trump was and then want to pretend you want to have an intellectually honest conversation.

I think your thesis statement is wrong.

Anything I was ever proven wrong?
This is my bookmark site, as soon as Kash Patel does the job he needs to,, all your juvenile lies will be laid bare.

at how Vogue describe Melania portrait.

https://www.vogue.com/article/melania-trump-official-white-house-portrait-the-apprentice-cosplay

Excerpt
. The sober black-and-white photograph by Régine Mahaux features Trump, the Washington Monument towering over her shoulder, resting her fingers on a reflective black desk and staring down the camera as if to say, “You’re fired.” Indeed, Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of The Apprentice than assuming the role of first lady of the United States.

Trump’s clothing certainly didn’t help the boardroom pastiche. The first lady wore a black Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo jacket with satin-trimmed lapels over a white button-up, which she paired with a Ralph Lauren cummerbund and trousers. The choice to wear a tuxedo—as opposed to a blazer or blouse—made Trump look more like a freelance magician than a public servant. It’s perhaps unsurprising that a woman who lived in a gold-encrusted penthouse, whose fame is so intertwined with a reality-television empire, would refuse to abandon theatrics—even when faced with 248 years of tradition

These degenerates are so full of hate.

cococandy:
Yet not one policy mentioned.

Almost like we were right to recognize it’s just a culture war carefully crafted to be distracting and inflammatory.

Christians do in fact say fire and hell stone will fall on unbelievers. If that’s not a threat I don’t know what is.

What you mean to say is that minority groups have freedom like you do and that doesn’t sit well with you. You don’t like that you are not allowed to harass people without consequences, So you feel oppressed!

Wait wait, are you saying that other races are oppressed because they can’t say the N word? And this is your evidence that democrats have extreme policies? Are you for real?

You’re either a child, a doofus or a clown. For this specific comment about the N word never mention my moniker again.This is too slow for me to deal with pls.

Do I have to write some long essay assailing political correctness?

Hi

cococandy:
This a bit rambly but show me the policy pls.The specific policy that places LGBTQ people above non-LGBTQ.



What does this mean?

okay and? If the embassies are choosing to do that, how does that place them above you?
The question again is, where is the democrat policy that instructs embassies to fly pride flags?
🤦🏽‍♀️ why would white people need a white history month?
We have BET . Noone would dare try launching a WET.
again 🤦🏽‍♀️

cisgenders are transphobic if they oppose trans in sports, prisons , you don’t have to participate. Or commit crimes


2 gender choices on govt IDs

Put the gender you are on your ID. Where’s the policy that forces you to put something else on there?

Christians are well the most persecuted people but few raise their voices in support . Not in America we are not. In northern Nigeria maybe. But in America we’re the oppressors. Christians here feel persecuted if they can’t force others to live by biblical principles. As far their own personal lives, no one has ever stopped a Christian from living according to their religion.
I’m free to go to church, display my religious faith in my personal space, pray at my own time. Wear Christian clothes etc.

But I can’t try to convince others to join me especially in a professional environment. I can’t pray unsolicited for people who didn’t ask for it. I can’t choose a job in an establishment that’s funded by public money and then refuse service to members of the public whose money pays for same establishment just because they are “unchristian”.

This is not persecution. I don’t feel persecuted by it at all. Because if a Muslims asked for the same liberty to foist their beliefs on me, I’d be livid. So I understand my boundaries and theirs. Keep your religion in your home.


A quote about clinging to their guns was derogatory but noone said anything .

??

Everything I put down is self explanatory. Maybe the only point "cling to their guns" ,an insult from Obama to whites ( cowboys) in the rural areas . That went unchallenged but a shithole comment went viral

Only one race uses the N word in pop culture , any other is ostracised. Any other race would get a dress down.
The infidel label is also from the protected religion,which they use freely daily basis. A christian won't call others heathens else fire and brimstones will rain on him/her. Christians who protested LGBTQ indoctrination in school boards were hunted down specifically as domestic terrorists by the FBI.
In short minority groups have a lot of leeway .

cococandy:
Me and anti spam bot today 😮‍💨

Here’s to hoping I don’t get banned again

What was the specific LGBTQ policy that placed them above other people?

Are you conflating rainbow people being loud on the internet and flashing their queer personalities with govt policy and laws? Because those are not the same. And I didn’t see any laws stopping non-LGBTQ people from being themselves either.

So you may not care what people are doing in their bedrooms, buts it’s obvious you care that they exist publicly and that’s your personal bias. But we all have our biases. so, own it.

Don’t claim it’s democratic policy placing them above others.

oppressed groups are allowed to be racist .
Pride flags are flown on embassies. Banned.
We have Black History month. Noone would dare declare a white history month
We have BET . Noone would dare try launching a WET.
cisgenders are transphobic if they oppose trans in sports, prisons , 2 gender choices on govt IDs
Christians are well the most persecuted people but few raise their voices in support .
A quote about clinging to their guns was derogatory but noone said anything .

Budaatum. Trump is doing everything you opposed so I'll continue calling you out.d

He ordered reinstatement of over 8000 military men fired for refusing the COVID vaccine, which CDC admits does not prevent one from getting infected or spreading the infection.

Doctors were also fired for dispensing Ivermectin and HCL.

A Wyoming doctor who was fired after prescribing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine to COVID-19 sufferers urged state lawmakers Monday to pass a bill preventing doctors from being fired or stripped of their licenses for doing what he did.


COVID vaccine appears to have been a testing ground for the globalists to see much control they have over the serfdom. They can force all public places closed, wear masks,fire anyone opposed,incarcerate you , deplatform you ,etc.
Add climate change .They force EVs, want to limit how much you can fly,where to stay, eat lab grown mears after killing off cows,etc.

The evidence is staring at you. See how much footage you can get from Davos - Very little from a whole week of globalists planning on how to tackle world problems in secret.Yes , no footage at all unlike UN sessions which are streamed live.

Livelystone01:
I'll name a few.

His climate change initiatives were extreme. The repeal of the keystone XL pipeline permit.

LGBTQ .

Border security policies.

COVID-19 Vaccine mandate.

You could be wrong. He didn't have any policies since he was mentally incompetent. He speeches were read off teleprompters and any orders he signed were drafted by others.
They wall proofed him,the resurgent media today played along and pretended he was 100%.

You forgot how he weaponized the justice dept to go after Trump and kill the maga movement once and for all.

At the end of it all he granted pardons to those who likely are guilty of serious crimes.

RFK Jr nomination marred by senators who are not interested in his agenda but besmirch him.
Same senators who voted for the HHS deputy, an obese transgender military man who transfendered at 54 years after clinching lifetime success as a military man..

During COVID we had 16% of the COVID deaths in a country. We only have 4.2% of the world's population. We had a higher death count than any country in the world. And when CDC was asked why, they said it's because Americans are the sickest people on Earth. The average person who died from COVID American had 3.8 chronic diseases. This is an existential threat, economically, to our military or health, to our sense of well being

The loudest senators of both divides most likely ave received cash and handouts from the pharma industry. Bernie Sanders and Pocahontas have taken in big pharma $$$.

cococandy:
My taxes went up the first time Trump went into office. And he’s proposing to extend the same individual tax rates which are set to expire this year but cut taxes for corporations and billionaires from 21% to 15%.

Usually people can deduct things like child care or home renovations etc from their taxes. I was not able to do either when Trump passed his first tax laws because he changed the things that people can deduct. He also reduced child tax credit. A lot of people who usually didn’t owe taxes after filing were owing when tax season came.

Stick to your own personal taxes wherever it is you live. You’re not the one paying my taxes so you don’t tell me what I paid or didn’t pay.

I’m being lied to by who? By my bank account that knows what went in and out of it?

Why dont you come and educate me on what’s happening in my life? Ugh you are very irritating.

At least you have a reason why Trump cuts affected you negatively. child tax credits were reduced and Family.
Our resident idiot doesn't have family despite him approaching andropause. He won't answer whether he got a tax cut

raumdeuter:
Every family has its own specific circumstances. Generally he cut taxes for most people and increased the child tax credit to $2000

I like where this is going. Raum .. go on.

cococandy:
But republicans are increasing the taxes. What are you even saying? Trump’s tax plan increases taxes for everyone under $360k a year.

And his first tenure too. Taxes went up for all regular folks.

You are being lied to as far as I can tell about tax hikes for everyone.

Did you ever get a tax cut from Trump in his first term by the way?

Melania is a normal person who is not pretentious to claim what she isn't. She is happy as a housewife. She could have bought a degree with her money if she was trying to raise shoulder. So make Una chill and stop worshipping her to who she never claimed to be. You guys are just cultists for no reason. Melania is not self promoting so no need to promote her and disparage other first ladies, otherwise we would give you a dose of reality by pulling out their CVs to compare to the housewife.

You are the who nonchalantly refered to her as a nude model with only a school leaving certificate.
When it comes to billionaires with the same you have an excuse .

Trump not joking. Gen Milley thought Trump is gone for good.
Being a bad ass general he can afford a gun to protect himself .
He should be court martiallled and also tried for treason.
This is not 2017,when Trump didn't know his enemies

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff retired Army Gen. Mark Milley that he is revoking his personal security detail and suspending his security clearance, according to senior defense officials.

Hegseth is also directing the acting Department of Defense Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine whether he should keep his rank as a retired-four star general, due to his actions undermining the chain of command at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term
