Today's Tiedrich rant: imbecile guts air safety, then demands to know why a plane crashed
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/imbecile-breaks-government-then-demands
Donny Convict and his chaos-monkey techbro besties have brought their move fast and break shit ethos to Washington. they’ve fired people, gutted whole departments, and issued conflicting orders — never once stopping to consider that gee, the well-being and safety of Americans is at stake here, maybe we should slow down a bit and consider if our actions might have consequences.
nah, fuck that. it’s more fun to set everything on fire and watch the pretty flames.
and now that everything has very quickly — and very predictably — gone to chaotic shit, King Fuckface the First is stamping his feet and demanding to know how this all could have possibly happened.
last night, near Reagan International Airport, a passenger jet collided with a military helicopter and crashed into the Potomac. it’s a tragedy and horrible loss of life, and as always with these events, very little is known at this time about what went wrong — but that didn’t stop the asshole who knows more about air traffic control than all the air traffic controllers from throwing a social media shit-fit.
Screenshot:
“The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!”
