Not to diminish the tragedy, but I had a feeling that one of his cut-backs contributed to the chaos around this.

Trump refuses to put the blame on the blackhawk. Hegseth was freaked out and all the color was drained out of his face.

Something isn't right. The blackhawk shouldn't have been in the decent patch of DCA. Put a different way - the passenger jet was doing exactly what it was supposed to do.

It is also one of the first of many to come.

It's difficult to manage a complex system such as the federated government as large as ours. Sorry to say, expect a lot of carnage as we try to survive the next 4 years and beyond.

Already shitfaced in the morning, I presume.

It's not great when the FAA director cannot issue a statement about this.. because they don't exist.. because Elon fucking Musk pressured the old one into quitting a week ago.

I’ve read elsewhere that training flights for choppers are common and necessary, and that that’s what this one was doing.

I’ve also read that the air traffic controller very specifically warned the chopper about the commercial flight.

Why was Hegseth freaked out? Because he’s now realizing what everyone else learned decades ago—that Trump talks out of his ass? Or because Hesgeth is a TV personality who doesn’t have the faintest fucking clue what he’s doing?

Honestly, it looked like he was pulled out of bed and hydrated with a bag of saline.

Same here. There seems to have been very clear coms from the tower.

I'm stating the obvious, but Hegseth has no business being there. He would have never been confirmed by a Senate not populated by obsequious, spineless worms.

Perhaps we'll see him ousted by next week? That would be funny and totally believable, if anyone remembers the first Trump administration.

Hegseth looked like warmed-over shit. He's gunna have a fucking stroke at this rate. I can only hope it's captured by at least three cameras.
