“Not off the top of my head” had me just laughing.

This is all just performance theatre.

Stew Peters and Kash Patel are two rotten, fascist peas in a rancid fucking pod.

It seems obvious to me, but someone feel free to correct me if it's wrong: if you are a pilot in a plane or Blackhawk helicopter, and you have the gift of SIGHT, and there is a flying plane right in front of you, NOTHING coming from air traffic control means anything at all. If there's a BIG, WHITE plane RIGHT THERE, YOU have to make the decision. YOU have to make the move to avoid collision. From the videos I've seen, there was PLENTY of time to move that helicopter up, down, or sideways to avoid this catastrophe. WTF happened?

And OF COURSE Trump is a troll about it. What else would he be?

WW2TV YT channel has a recent presentation by Ilka Knuppel, on the Nazi disabled euthanasia program.

Chillingly, Hitler started the program in September 1939, thinking he could get away with it under the cover of war.

There were apparently some issues with the staffing of the control tower and this is reported by outlets across the political spectrum. NYT is the initial source.

An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called "buyouts" and other attacks on federal employees won't help.

Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden.

I wish I could post screenshot here. In the substack of God. Yes it's just called, God he shows a post from the White House saying how they've restored competence to the FAA and that was on January 22

Another post from quoting FAA inside source lamented the buyouts of and reduction of air traffic control and other departments. He mentioned warnings of delays and crashes specifically and this was on the 25th of January It's posted by Thomas Schaller on x if I'm not mistaken
