Sure. First, I will admit that when I see the term "maga," which is clearly a pejorative when used here, I don't pay much attention to the post. If you are asking about Trump's stuff, glad to respond. I don't think his Russia/Ukraine thing is correct. I don't think his no tax on tips thing is desirable, not because it's a bad idea but because it makes tip jobs more competitive than non tip jobs that pay about the same, and some of those are extremely valuable. I'm not a fan of some of the tariffs, though some are absolutely justified. I have no problem with his actions re the Justice Dept., which has become an arm of the Dem party with gross impropriety, but I don't want him screwing around with the CIA, which I know something about. My problem with you, and that knucklehead that never shuts up about him here, is that you join the media in posting absolute bullstuff. He never said what you have stated regarding good people with regard to white supremacists and neo nazis, and it didn't matter to your group when his actual quote was placed in evidence. That is total nonsense and gross, intentional ignorance/lying. My issue with Trump is that he is not a leader. He uses the power in his grasp to get done what he wants, which is usually a good idea. What he doesn't do is have the leadership ability to recruit more folks to his side. Reagan had that. George Bush had that. Clinton had it to some extent after he gave up after the debacle in 92, and the hiring of David Gergen. That skill leads to unification, and he doesn't care about that. Trump will never be a recruiter based on leadership. Still, there is no doubt that major change is justified, in the handling of the DOD, our international agreements, ie., NATO and the UN, and a host of other things that have been totally screwed up and become jobs programs for useless people.

Idiotic. This is the result of seeing the world as if looking through a telescope. People with a problematic political focus look at others as if they all have that issue. I don't. I don't like Trump, but I can see some of his views that make a good deal of sense, and I'm not in the "politics first" viewpoint group, as some clearly are. Capiche? Prolly not.

I didn't vote for him, so he is not "my president." Disgusting post, and meaningless.

I often wonder if you are absolutely intent on making yourself look like an idiot. If you are, that is the one thing you are on a path to success for.

The NTSB is very good, but they get far too into the minutia at times. They bring up points that don't really matter. Very thorough, but at times meaningless. This is very simple mid-air. There are a few points, but quite simple.

No I don't. Just like I find no logic, knowledge, competency, informed view or anything else in your grossly political only offerings. You provide nothing, and you know nothing. You are a simple political fire hose who offers no information or reasonable perspective.

Whatever the hell this means.

When anyone can find anything that this administration has done has had any effect to make aviation less safe, post it. This is more unrelated nonsense.

A statement of pure nonsense.

Not much, but certainly nothing related to DEI or the Sec. of Defense operating a ship drunk. My expectations are clearly not realistic here.

Three minutes and two responses in, and I already regret posting to this site.

The US aircraft carrier Harrier S. Truman, CVN 75, evidently collided with a merchant ship just outside the Suez, near Egypt, as it was preparing to sail south through the canal. Doesn't look to be too serious damage wise, but these are always serious for the Navy.

Everyone should be aware that the CPI number released today was a January number. Crude oil was over $79/barrel the day before the Inauguration. As of this moment, $72.09.

This intentional deception is not without precedent though. Jimmy Carter used to carry his bags for the cameras. The reality was they were all empty and his aids would carry the real bags a bit later, and out of camera view.

Commercial aviation safety has not been changed in any meaningful way in the past month. What will change is the cancellation of stupid social training which does nothing and is laughed at and despised by FAA folks, and the wasteful, senseless de-genderizng of decades old terminology, that everyone understands, bought and paid for by the knucklehead who was running the dept of Transportation, being driven to work in an SUV and then pulling a bike out for the last two block photo op.

To be clear, nothing you say "bothers me," or is even paid attention to.

Just so we're clear, 'cause sometimes your posts aren't, are you blaming the gov for a Lear running off a runway?

You are not quite right.

The stupidity of your post is familiar. You claim that he views those that died as "suckers and losers"? You are beyond hope. Pure nonsense.

Should he row or use Coast Guard 1?

Actually, you've already made the liar claim. Maybe you forgot. I'll remind you. I challenged you and I offered to donate an infinite amount of money to you, or your designated charity. You didn't respond. Disappeared. If you can find anything that I have ever posted regarding Austin's resume being insufficient, as you claimed, do so. To save time, that aint gonna happen.

I guess I'll go with the drunk premise. Here's your claim: "Are you not the stupid idiot that said Lloyd Austin had to resume" I'm guessing that what you were incompetent to post clearly is a claim that I stated Austin's resume was sub standard. Never posted that, and I have stated that before.

You are so stupid you need to stop posting and consider mental health issues. The aviation industry is populated with very talented people with decades of experience. They have families they provide for, and are dependent on success, as well as self survival, physical and economic. They don't go out and kill themselves after an election. The system is the same. There have been no changes. You have self identified as an absolute idiot, either drunk or a moron beyond description.

Trump directly killed those people? This has reached the level of uninformed insanity. Should come with a "read at your own risk" warning. By the way, he hasn't "screwed with safety." Pure nonsense.

The FAA needs to Total nonsense. No surprise. For the uniformed, the FAA has little to do with accidents, and they certainly don't prevent them. They need to be totally revamped.
