    “severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions”

    I thought he was talking about his supporters.

      Yup that is how this presidency will be explained. America had the potential to be the greatest country in the world, but it just always remains out of reach, and that fucker you have in charge will irreparable do even more damage.

      I feel sorry for what you (not you in particular) voted for (or what was stolen by the tech bros).

      Hope you make it through this.

      History is unkind to Nero, who was really not that bad in comparison to a shitload of emperors that came before and since. I’m not saying Nero was good, I’m saying his reputation of being one of the worst isn’t even close. I hope history is as unkind to Trump.

    …or understaffed air traffic control where controllers have to do 2 jobs at once. Then you have a helicopter pilot who was not following ATC instructions.

    Nepotism(hiring unqualified friends and family) is far more rampant and way more destructive than DEI policies ever could be. DEI policies may help unqualified people gain low level positions, but with nepotism it’s usually high level positions.

    For those keeping score, in his journey to fuhrer, you can mark this spot on your “classification of people Trump will put in camps” bingo card.

    Yeah, refuting an argument by saying “other stuff is at fault” is the work of a true well educated and informed intellectual.

    Ah, right, of course the FAA is plopping unqualified people down in air traffic controller chairs to fulfill diversity goals, just like fits with Don’s delusions. Except that isn’t happening, ATC’s have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental health check. There are plenty of other jobs in the FAA that this policy applies to.

      Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:

      If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you’ll be able to tell what they’re going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric”.

      They’ll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts.

      (e.g.) “If they start talking about able-bodied people, it’s Medicaid.
