    This isn’t Fox News. I’m not playing your game of giving yes or no answers when you demand it. Piss off.

    Classless assholes now control the country. I expect nothing less than a total, embarrassing, shameful 4 years of this shit. Blaming diversity hires for a plane crash and removing the Tuskegee airmen films from the Aviation Training Center...there's no excuse for all this partisan mudslinging and by-passing Congress for Executive total power. At least I know I didn't vote for this shit.

    These hard right partisan fans with their anti-liberal hate sticks...there's no such thing as a good faith conversation around here with them...it's insults and condescension and thinking being loud and full of rage makes you right somehow. Just watch any investigation into govt criminals and it's apparent that Karen's just want to buck the constitution and believe the rule of law is nothing but power and threats to be taken by force and used to oppress those without ways or means to defend their freedoms. One thing, they do get Denny a lot of traffic around here. Ignore them. Like drunks lookin' for a fight in a bar....if nobody fights them they'll just nod out in a corner eventually.

    RIP to the pilots and passengers of the helicopter and the passenger plane...I can't imagine losing loved ones that way. What a heartbreaking tragedy. I randomly picked a chopper to fly out in the Tonkin Gulf from Danang and the one I didn't choose was blown up in front of me in the air....really strikes a nerve every time I read of a plane crash. I was so lucky to choose the last chopper on the tarmac. I could have easily gotten on the other one. What a loss to USA figure skating to lose the championship couple along with all the other skaters, coaches and just regular folks who lost their lives in this accident.

    Looks like the tower was understaffed. The guy that was watching the planes was also tasked with watching helicopters. Usually, these are jobs held by different people.

    Has there been any explanation for why military copter was flying in civilian airspace at night? Or is Hegseth too drunk to know?

    All I've read is that they know it was a highly experienced crew and they had night vision goggles.

    I'm sure they are. I don't blame the crew.

    Reports are that the flight crew opposed giant tax cuts for the rich. Didn't know how to fly.

    Wow, look at Count Dracula in this picture. Mr. Death Warmed Over wings down when Trump talks about death.

    A white guy was flying the plane. A white guy was flying the helicopter. But, Trump is using the tragedy as a platform for anti-diversity.

    Obama. Biden. Like Sly said anyone not white male. People with disabilities singled out.

    Pilots and air traffic controllers all white men.

    When asked if he would visit site of crash, Trump sarcastically asked if he was supposed to swim.

    What every other president does at time of tragedy:
    Lay flowers.
    Encourage and praise rescue workers diving in cold dark water searching for bodies.
    Comfort family members gathered hoping they can an at least give loved ones decent burial.

    Sociopath doesn't consider anyone but himself worthy of praise. Narcissist incapable of compassion.

    There could’ve been a black stewardess and Trump would place blame on that.

    We are in the midst of a racist regime unlike we’ve seen maybe ever?
