I would also reiterate that it's not about that at all, because if this had been a month ago and Biden had said it, the exact same people who will declare Trump a hilarious king would have been lambasting Joe Biden if he had made exactly the same comment. It would have been branded "disgusting".

because Trump is not a standard politician. After all this time, people really still don't understand it, or why he is so popular with american people. The establishment have been taking the piss out of americans for decades. They are done with it and Biden represented that establishment

If they passed the extensive health screenings before then they are qualified for the job.

What gives you the impression that people don't understand why Trump is popular - or that understanding why Trump is popular equates to anything other than a deep-rooted existential dread and loss of hope in humanity?

I'm well aware of the reasons for Trump's popularity. It doesn't make him any less of a vile, smirking demogogue.

And people either find something funny or they don't, if they'll happily titter at one person saying something but would cry outrage at another person saying the same thing ... then they are full of sht either way. "It's funny because Trump said it" is underfoot cult-of-personality nonsense and anyone genuinely living with that mindset is a blatant idiot.

The most important thing surely is to discover if any of them were brown, trans, intellectually disabled or a dwarf. If none of the above, then we can start a list of passengers on the plane to discover which one of them was to blame.

Of course, if this had happened in the UK and Starmer said it, they'd be outraged and saying "imagine the impact a joke like that has on the families of the people being pulled out of that river". Which would be accurate.

But Trump saying it will be justified. Not just justified; they'll have a good old giggle about it. The masks have slipped so far at this point.

Pilot union urges against speculation over crash

A union representing US and Canadian pilots has urged people not to speculate
on the causes of Wednesday night’s deadly crash until the investigation is
complete.

Jason Ambrosi, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, said: “A lot of details
and speculation will come out in response to this tragedy, but we must
remember to let the investigation run its course.”

“Extra pressure will be on each of us as our passengers — and our fellow
crewmembers — have this accident on their minds.”

Its ok if the MSM speculate and use it for content 24/7 but anyone else please don't, especially "members of the public" ew

Right?

Though I think at this point I'll wait and let time sort it out when the facts are all out. When it's just speculation, it's not really productive is it.

It's not "just" speculation from some sources though, it's propaganda. The "speculation" that the accident was caused by DEI hires and disabled janitors is clearly deliberate and very intentional.

You are simply arguing for your own amusement how ironic is that.

You are following in Clinton's footsteps by throwing insults at Trump supporters, and it wasn't a good look when she did it 12 years ago. Like i said earlier, you obviously don't understand why Trump is popular

The fact is he’s popular because Americans ARE stupid. That is fact. A dangerous one that he’s managed to capitalise on for his own gain.

A devastating plane crash in Washington, D.C., has claimed the lives of seven friends returning home from a duck hunting trip in Kansas. The group had spent nearly a week hunting with Fowl Plains, an outfitter in Great Bend, enjoying a successful trip filled with duck, goose, and pheasant hunting.

Their return flight, American Airlines 5342, was just minutes from landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport when tragedy struck late Wednesday night. A mid-air collision between their Bombardier CRJ-700 and a Black Hawk military helicopter caused both aircraft to crash into the icy Potomac River. All 64 people onboard the two aircraft perished, including the seven hunters: Jesse Pitcher, Michael Stovall, Steve Johnson, Alexander Huffman, Charles McDaniel, Jonathan Boyd, and Tommy Clagget.

Three other members of the hunting group survived only because they opted to drive home with their bird dogs and hunting gear. In a heartbreaking statement, Fowl Plains expressed their grief, calling the victims “family” and remembering the final days spent together in laughter and camaraderie.

Investigators are still determining the cause of the collision, with early speculation suggesting possible miscommunication between air traffic control and the helicopter crew. The official findings could take years, but for now, families and friends are left mourning an unfathomable loss.
Reports on some more of the victims coming out now.
