From inside the federal workforce we’d really appreciate it if people stopped Blaming other people and events that have nothing to do with what actually occurs. Yes the buck stops with him. No, none of the decisions he has made in the last two weeks are likely to have caused this. Our civil service system is built to keep working regardless of the churn during and administrative transition. Having all those chairs filled would have made zero difference in the outcome that night.
Probably because it seemed such a juvenile thing to say. What with not having done that at all while in office, other then trying to make sure trans people could get standard of care and not be harassed in their workplaces.
I am going to go on record as saying that this incident is not the thing Democratic politicians need to make hay over. They do need to remind folks that Trump created the diversity hire Programs he now decries to try and get more controllers into the ATC system. Not that he will be shamed by hypocrisy. They also need to bring y for every time republican controlled ci greases failed to full fund ATC system needs. But his maniacal hiring decisions of the last two weeks didn’t cause this.
Along that section of the Potomac there are several military installations that helicopters routinely fly into and out of. David mentions this. The corridor the helicopters fly is designed to mostly de conflict with this approach to Reagan - which was established after 9/11 to restrict airspace access for non-military aircraft. The two designated corridors intersect at this place. The military helicopters do not generally land or park at Reagan.

And then there are those here who support him. Who are mostly silent.
31% if voters is not “the American people.” Not statistically anyway. It’s is both presumptuous and naive to assert that such a minority speaks for the American people — though the 36% who don’t bother to vote are equally at fault for both our current predicament and your misread of the country.
Your faith would indeed be misplaced. The legislature here last year created a legislatively appointed court district in the majority black capitol city and made the state level capitol police into defacto city police in Jackson because local elected courts weren’t throwing enough black people in jail
From out here I. The cheap leftist seats he couldn’t have been more centerist in his economic and foreign policy. If you want to hang your hat on his willingness to allow trans people to exist free of danger go ahead.
