Trumps Presidency 2025

[Edman85]

Heard from an ATC I know who reported Trump at some point since 1/20 rescinded their 2025 COLA raise.

 

Throw that on the pile with all the OPM nonsense, and do with that what you will.

As far a I have always understood, Military aircraft operating in civilian controlled airspace are in the ATC system.

Well, the bottom line is, this is an unimaginable tragedy. I can't even imagine the horror those people on the plane felt. It's a thing of nightmares.

Hearing that press conference, it’s just complete nonsense and non-leadership. We are just ten days into this disaster. 

Eleven. Don't shortchange us. Every day closer to the end counts.

Trump's head on Mount Rushmore sounds good to me. How's tomorrow work for everyone?

With or without his body?

Tulsi refused to call Snowden a traitor?  Not shocked.  Must be denied the job.

Trump apparently wanted Dulles renamed for himself because of course.  Not going to happen now.

Folks I will stop posting in here. It is all yours! I always try to give the other side prospective and try to be respectful to everyone. I see no desire for it and now actual hate from admins all the way down. I wish everyone well and will see you in in the sports forums. 

Wow, eleven days. That was fast. But then, with the fire hose of abject terribleness on full blast from the start of this redux, I can see how it's simply too hard to effectively defend it.

Good strategy. Cut your losses and retreat to somewhere friendly where they don't talk about inconvenient things like the truth sitting in plain sight of everyone. Take care and all the best.

Make provocative posts, then complain about not liking provoked responses to said provocative posts.

When posts are more easily construed to be entry points to civil discourse, that is probably more of what results.

It really is.  I'm not a good flyer even in the best conditions.

I guess "AI" remains the same acronym whether it's 'intelligence' or 'ignorance'     🤔

I wouldn't bet against it. I also wouldn't bet against Trump getting a net gain out of this episode in terms of accelerating changes he's planning to make, not just with FAA and the armed forces, but across his whole government. I acknowledge this particular story is still hot and it feels too soon, but he has faced certain defeat many times on numerous fronts and came out of them better and stronger than before. Put it this way: I'll believe he takes a political loss on this when we see it, and not before.

I like how after Naziholic clutched his pearls over politicizing this crash, Trump has been nonstop politicizing it.

I really don’t see him making it to the end of his term. His mind is completely gone and he’s such an imminent threat to this country. Good job, America.

Odd side note, but where did Tim Kaine reappear from?  Like he's more visible now than he was during the 2016 campaign.  One of the dinosaurs, but seems to have a feel for the moment.

A hundred million people love him madly and are willing to follow him off the cliff, and that is a crucial ingredient in the fascist overhaul of America, of which he is the face if not the architect. So his cabal are going to do everything they can to keep him propped up for four years and beyond, even if it practically kills him. If they have to Bernie the guy to do it, so be it. It's anybody's guess how far he makes it.

Like holic, they realize that he's made a fool of them and they'd rather run away than admit they were duped.

Of course, while many are rooting for Trump to somehow step aside, look who's a heartbeat away ...

Oh, and hey, look! Bluesky embeds now!
