The buck stops with the president- if the president is Biden or Obama.
It's great he blames Obama because he had 4 years to fix whatever problems he alleges but didn't.
It was because Obama was born in Kenya that this plane crashed, wasn't it?
Obama could have stopped this all from happening from his Georges Soros - secretly funded, evil lair. The one that's 5 miles underground in Kenya and churns out adrenochrome from all of the 'pizza' they make. After all, he has steered hurricanes and burned cities to ashes with space lasers.
yup. that just about covers it.
Jewish space lasers
forgot that bit
Marjorie hasn't.
So thats why Trump couldn't move that hurricane with the sharpie. You have to use lasers. Why didn't I think of that?
The incredible thing is that if he hadn't gone on a binge the past week cutting everything including the FAA, he could maybe sell that there were recent problems in the FAA and he'd try to fix them. Once again he misses the mark in being a leader and goes the exact opposite direction. Not even saying this was directly connected to his actions, but what he's done so far sure hasn't helped, nor has his blame shifting.
He doesn't need plausible cover because his loyalists don't care if he's at fault or not just that he's "hurting the right people"
Executive Order here:
01/30/2025 - Immediate Assessment of Aviation Safety – The White House
Officially blaming the aircraft incident in D.C., without founding, on DEI:
"This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous “diversity equity and inclusion” tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with “severe intellectual” disabilities in the FAA."
Thanks! I added this to my site: https://2025realitycheck.com/.
Please let me know you've got any additional items to add or suggestions. I haven't been able to read through all the executive actions yet.
Are you just using a web archive link so that it'll still work if they remove it from the site?
Correct, you can see the full list of everything, including the official White House links, over at !keeptrack@lemmy.world
Thanks for this
That is a beautiful site you have there my friend
Completely deranged.
What about Hunter’s laptop?!
Don't forget Hillary's emails!!!
And Obama's tan suit. Oh, and the latte salutes!
NEVER FORGET those dark times.
Everything is always {insert buzzword here}'s fault.
So, cloud computing, block lchain, AI, quantum computing etc. You know, all the usual suspects.
Bro literally just spammed all the scapegoats at one.
This probably means it was legitimately him. I would have just assumed it was an accident, but he’s desperately pointing fingers, which is sus af.
I really think we're gonna need a LOT of "I Did That!" stickers featuring Trump.
We won’t be able to afford the stickers after he tanks the economy and puts wood as tariffs on China goods….
Donald blames the squirrels on the White House lawn for the global economy crashing. He will pull anything out of his ass, sorry, meant diaper.
Well those are cia agents. So that tracks.
What about Hilary? Some of it must be her fault?
Benghazi!
I, for one, am looking forward to congress reviving the twice monthly Benghazi hearings.
Why stop there? Clearly Hillary Clinton, Antifa, Taylor Swift, and Mexico are at fault, too.
Got Damn Lincoln had to go and fuck Up a good thing with DEI freedoms
I'm guessing the Anti-Taylor Swift legislation is coming any time now. She dared to tell people to vote.
Thanks Obama.
If he had only released the long form birth certificate that wasn't a forgery we wouldn't be in this mess!
Class act. Tell that to the families, asshole.
He's trying to throw up a smokescreen for his role in this.
The sad thing is that a whole lot of his douchebro base will buy into it.
Imagine this being said in a nasal, whiny voice: "If only it had been a White Hawk helicopter, this wouldn't have happened."
