Privatize it & charge a shit ton for the staff while paying them less with. No benefits.

They can't spin out of any of their crimes

They only want the rich to fly. Mid and low class should stay where they belong and do what they are told.

Everyone in the federal government was offered a buyout. I don’t think any numbers or other info has come out on how many have taken it.

The Hotshot Wake-up is reporting ~1,000 initial takers on his latest Substack broadcast.

So, a thousand people who were about to retire have decided to retire with an extra lump sum to see them on their way. Genius

I’d be surprised if they see any of it.

They won't pay them a thing. President Elmo is known for that.

A lump sum they will never be paid.

Exactly.

The Orange Turd needs a sign for his desk that reads; "The buck never stops here." He can put it right next to the Diet Coke button.

Lying about it being the fault of minorities or women.

Sean Dunne already did said air traffic controllers were not included and jake Tapper did no push back @jaketapper.bsky.social

Remember when Reagan fired 11,000 ATCs & what a disaster that was. Dems, especially Tip O'Neil, did crap when the shit hit the fan. Think Dems will be any more effective this time?

Fucking depressing but true

Except this time, things are so much worse. Why are Dems "working with DOGE" on some dam committee. Why aren't they suing to stop DOGE?

If they aren't they certainly should be

All part of a cunning plan. By making air travel unsafe, people fly less, reduce pollution and thus improve air safety. 😉

TRUMP KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE STRESS THEY'RE ALREADY UNDER. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES, AND TRUMP IS A DUMBASS

Apparently "easily proven facts" befuddled about 49% of Americans.

I don’t plan on flying anywhere in the USA. Flying to another country to get away from the chaos is a possibility.

#StoptheCoup. Save our future on #Earth! Thx @asharangappa.bsky.social 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball, obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate & prosecute everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

😡😡😡

Trump gives zero shits about air safety.

These things only seem to affect him in the short term because his supporters have the memories of gnats.

But they like to travel shhh 🤫

He flies too

He won’t. We should know by now.

Maybe his next executive order will be that everyone travels across America by horseback!

He’s going to cancel windmills

He's not. Air safety doesn't put money in Trump's pocket, so it's not on his agenda.

Do not vote for confirmation of any cabinet positions. Take legal action against DOGE and unlawful EOs.

Trump doesn't care.

The air traffic controller on duty for the crash in DC admitted to having to do "two jobs" that night. MSM is not going to tell the truth on anything. It's up to us in the jobs, circles, known relationships to start telling each other what is really going on! Call it the Pony Express if you will.

He doesn’t have to spin it, he doesn’t care. They’re doing openly illegal things because they don’t care. No one is stopping them so they’re going to keep doing it. The law cannot protect us if no one is enforcing it on them.

My mom is a flight attendant and her plane almost hit another on the runway while trying to land today. She said she has been in four near accidents in the last three months. She put in her retirement papers today, telling me it is the first time she has ever felt scared to fly.

If you can't afford groceries, you sure can't afford flights? If no one is in the air, no one is gonna die

I would like to see a national protest march/strike on Presidents Dsy Feb. 17. By then most americans should be awake.

Great idea!

Why would you think that is his goal?

great question.. wonder if we will get an answer

Not a buyout

Git em Pete. It's strange to watch the government like a pit fight but I think they should be allowed to box him like Lincoln used to.

He's not. So much of this potentially leads to dictatorship. Our politicians are doing next to nothing to stop it.

President, fat ass is a killer

hire more white hillbillies

Pleas help @georgetakei.bsky.social

Who is running this protest? I suspect a trap...

A trap? To stay home and do nothing? No working no shopping? What will you do to help? Anything?

Protests organized by RECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS ONLY. This one looks IFFY and no one is claiming responsibility. Says "trap" to me. Giving this administration an excuse to declare martial law.

Agreed. Unless someone like @indivisible.org is helping to promote it, proceed with caution.

He isn’t, it doesn’t benefit the %.

Tromp isn’t a detail guy. He throws ketchup against the wal to see what sticks.

They are trying to kill people. It isn’t safe to fly anymore. Do not get on a plane.

By gaslighting us. He’s going to tell us it’s Biden’s fault.

Thoughts and prayers. 🤔

If you ground all aircraft you won't have any accidents now, will you? It's a brilliant plan, the best air plan ever, no one's had a better plan, we've got the right people on it, some of our best sex offenders and drunkards.

I am so so angry about the man who calls himself president. He’s not mine.

We miss you Pete!!!

They don't care!

www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa... Weren't the "DEI" hires started in 2019 under Trump?

Screenshot in case they take that page down too.

Air safety is no longer something you can take for granted I personally will not fly right now

And yet, he is the "de facto" president.

He’s an insurrectionist and an economic terrorist.

But he's got the keys to the Kingdom and it's treasures.. Checkbook!

Did he run for something? I thought he just shoots rockets in the sky. Is he our president?

Just vicariously.

👏👏👏👏

Nope. It was very clear LONG before election day that, a vote for Trump was a vote for Musk.

You're welcome

For the whole team actually

bsky.app/profile/epic...

But you guys loved Soros

Given that it is Black History month, I know I'm willing to die for what they were willing to die for. Are you? Are you mad? Scared? Overwhelmed? Concerned? Wanna do something about it? Unify, unite, let's USE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The legacy media is failing this country and putting lives at risk by not addressing the dangers here.

This is why Trump and his flunkies were pointing fingers right away. They know it's Trump and Musk's fault.

And what are lawmakers going to do about this? Is it going to have to be one of their family members that victim to this to get their attention? Air traffic towers should be the last place downgraded and understaffed. Wake up......................

How do we get Pete to post on Bluesky? Most of us refuse to revisit the old Twitter.

He will probably have some simple minded solution like stop planes flying.

Don the pawn is out to kill those not in line. Period. We need Pete. I campaigned for him in 2019 and 20. He was our best chance then. Rally with Pete. @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social is here. I haven't found Pete yet,anyone?

No ody will be able to afford to fly anywhere.

He's not

Jared, he’s gonna make Jared FAA czar 🤦‍♂️

By sacking all the brown and gay and disabled employees, he thinks the planes will fly “straighter” 👀🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

25th the 47th, NOW!

Is he planning on privatizing this overnight? Privatization is a bad idea, very expensive for the people and WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT!

Does nobody wonder why trump and musk are offering buyouts to everyone?. If you want to take over a country the first step is replacing everyone in power with brain washed servants. So replace all federal employees not loyal to trump so they control everything. It's coup in slow motion.

It isn't in slow motion. And I think Musk and Putin are having a coup within the Trump coup and Trump is too stupid to figure it out.

Of course it is. The GOP is waiting for it to get bad enough to justify ending their political careers getting rid of him. Musk is manipulating Trump with lies, and he can't realize it because he shuts his brain off to criticism. It feels pretty obvious this is BOTH Russia and China, since the '80s

Now Duffy is blaming the move (begun in the 80s in the Air Force airlift fleet) from "cockpit" to "flight deck".

Trump is not trying to improve anything for America. He is just seeking to improve his net worth.

He is something else but he always comes up with a plan B, if he’s not able to do that then he will look for a way to make it possible

Canadians should stop travel to the states. Air travel isn’t safe, our dollar is bad, and any woman who is pregnant with sudden issues, wouldn’t be treated in hospital the same way they would be at home. There are virus outbreaks (birds and tuberculosis) and the government isn’t helping.

His big plan seems to be to have them all crash, then, no more worries!

The plan for Elon was to get rid of the part of the government that was tracking him. He bought twitter because Jack Sweeney, using public flight data, tracked Musk’s private jet movements using publicly available ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) data. NO IMMUNITY

Since he knows nothing about it, he can easily improve air safety by him just keeping his mouth shut. Oh if we could magically sew his lips together so we never have to hear that horrible voice again. 🙉

Trump's plan for Americans: Drop dead.

Proven facts mean nothing to those men. They don't bring his supporters to the light. They're broken.

He's pondering it on the golf course

Wouldn't doubt it.

Just wondering how safe do pilots feel about flying with cutback with the FAA?

He's not. He wants people to die.

Can't spin it away? Really? Have you seen the thing that is running your country? If they can spin that into power, this will be a piece of piss.

Then put it out there so people can see it. In the past 47s cult refused to see the cracks in the armor.its changing. The shock and awe is going to be felt by 47. 2 wks into his presidency he is digging his own grave. SPEAK OUT.

Trump's felon status is an easily proved fact. His insurrection, adulteries, threats to his enemies, utter stupidity (tariffs, giant water spigots, a million other examples) are all easily proved facts. Much of the country doesn't seem to care, and the press yawned even before they were cowed.

Without even having some loyalists ready to replace I’m sure.

The FAA’s attempt to push buyouts on air traffic controllers, followed by Trump’s baseless claim that DEI caused the recent plane crash, reveals a dangerous strategy: scapegoating diversity to justify a political purge.

This echoes Nazi tactics, where Jewish professionals were removed despite their expertise, replaced by ideologues loyal to the regime. Trump’s efforts to reshape federal agencies risk compromising public safety, prioritizing control over competence.

Weaponizing tragedy to dismantle institutions and install loyalists is a direct threat to democracy and a chilling sign of authoritarian overreach.

Simple solution. Scare off travellers from other countries, impoverish most of your population and before you know it, the only flights are private jets and ICE deportations. Safe skies.

thehill.com/regulation/t...

If you’re Fired Up 🔥 and want to take action, show up at your state’s Capitol and join the protest February 5th.

you fell for it

Why isn't Trump punishing multinational Corporations who refuse to put America First? Instead he is punishing Americans with his Tariff Sales Tax

Who wants too bet that the idiot-child Donald Dump starts pulling out our embassies in Europe, Canada, etc next?? Politicians keep telling us too wake up but how. We aren't the ones with line of sight too these as* clowns. The military needs to arrest these people and sort it out, if not

Canada could do the perfect checkmate face slap to the idiot-child Donald Dump..null 1898 agreement between the US and Canada that won't recognize US citizens as refugees for asylum. Nothing says f' your ways like telling the world Canada will take in the autocratically controlled US people/refugees

Dude's awesomme. Proud of my gay battle buddy. Rock on Former Sec'y Pete!

But Trump and all his supporters are insane gaslighters. And they believe their own bullshit.

Shut the system down. If nothing is flying, then there can be no accidents.

how does one prompt legacy and mainstream media to report this fact when their busy chasing trumps bombastically stupid racist dei rhetoric?

His breath is probably not good.

He is not

Block him. He’s an asshole MAGA who called Gov Walz a Nazi

With alt text.

Not long ago, it looked like you were starting to care by including alt text with your images. I posted a reply to thank you for that but it would seem my gratitude was not warranted. I haven’t yet decided if I feel strongly enough about it to go find and delete the reply.

He'll get back to us on that one...

By making airports and planes whites-only.

I wonder who thought getting rid of air traffic controllers was top of the list? What good could possibly come from a move like this? People aren't clamoring for those low paid extremely high stress jobs! We need more of them NOT LESS!

Other than not breathing anymore, he's got nothing that I can tell.

bsky.app/profile/blac...

I don’t think he is. After all, he has his own jet.

Can't clear the skies for it if nobody knows where anything in the air is. Gravity doesn't care how Great America Is.

Of course they were not distracted by this

Idiots are going to idiot!

Because they have gateway pundit telling them that Whitaker resigned at the end of the Biden administration.

I LOVE Mayor Pete. But come on, facts haven’t meant a damn thing to Republicans for many years now.

bsky.app/profile/epic...

I don't understand WHY, we don't understand???? We're just sitting back waiting for the MAGA cult to implode and it's NEVER going to happen. They've been telling us that for years. There is absolutely nothing Trump can do to lose their loyalty. We need a leader to ACT and stop F'N talking.

50 protests 50 states February 5th 2025 at noon - your state capitol !

Reducing the controllers is an idiot move. We’ve always had a problem, employing enough controllers to really be safe. No wonder the accidents were on his watch.

On #Trump: 'Anyone with gumption and a sharp mind will take the measure of two things: what's said and what's done.' ― Seamus Heaney, Beowulf

Thank you Pete!

He simply doesn’t care. The airspace is cleared for all of his damn flights.

By killing passengers.

They’re distracting us so they can pass the voter suppression law, requiring an in person passport or birth certificate. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

I miss Pete!

We are heading down such a dark road. We need Republicans and Democrats to put a stop to all of this. A lunatic is running the country. It’s not funny anymore.

He doesn’t give a shit about any safety program that are in place now

you'll soon have the choice of paying for "FAA Approved & Assisted Flights" at a nominal upcharge. or if you want to roll the dice...

And a hiring freeze!

We know Pete and we can’t wait to see your face in the game again!✌🏻💙🌊🇺🇸🌈🗽

...I had an air controller even years ago telling me how hard it was to recruit and retain... that they'd love to retire but didn't feel like they could cause there were already safety concerns

He’s hoping by hoping. Just like he tried to hope away a pandemic. If air safety goes well for any period of time, for reasons completely unrelated to him, he will take credit for it. And if it doesn’t, he will blame someone else for it. He hopes, he takes credit, he blames. He just doesn’t do.

Sounds about right.

It's 100% projection 100% of the time

I seem to remember hearing him say, "And hopefully . . . it'll just . . . "

Like a miracle.

We gave government based on science, evidence, and rationality a try. It’s time to let government based on hope, prayer, gut feels, and superstition have a chance.

Hope and prayer would actually help. MAGA is a form of hopelessness, and despite their charades, it is godless. It is fearful of truth. Put faith, hope, and science together, you get an Obama or Dr. Fauci. Even a Harris. Take them all away, add fear, you get MAGA. Onward.

Lmfaooo, ah-I see, so you too, are watching the World burn like I am

Quit eating the burrito bowl with beans?

He's going to ground all civilian flights, placing a safety concern to cause it. There will be a third crash this week, I'll bet on it. I hope I'm wrong.

More crashes, less planes in the air to crash 😕

Most of which are white. They're just trying to nuke all government regardless of the consequences. Getting rid of the air traffic controllers had nothing to do with DEI.

The drones make much more sense now. JFC. Where the FUCK is Congress?

What about the drones??

Some are in-fighting, the obnoxiously loud ones are too busy eating crayons.

🤣🤣🤣🖍️🖍️🖍️

So does this

Yes they do.

I'd say he isn't, any more than he's lowered pricing for eggs and groceries in general.

By the sound of it, he'll improve air safety by shutting down commercial flights.

As an environmentalist, that would be a strange and beautiful miracle A self-own by the worst person I can think of, and a win for the 🌎 Earth And a lot of pissed off people who might be more motivated to resist

He very possibly contributed to the accident

I don't understand the question? Why do you think he's trying to improve it? You know better than most of us what he's doing.

No!

PETE, YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB, THANK YOU! 💕 💙

The same way he ran his businesses. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

I don't like Rick Wilson all that much, but he did nail one thing. Everything TCFSF Touches Dies.

Whatever happened to musk’s super duper speedy underground railway? Maybe they’ll only be private jets in the air while us peons will have to travel by rail.

Unfortunately his base and Republicans don't care about facts.

Wouldn't he first have to check with Murdoch, Musk, and Thiel?

People will be afraid to fly. It's like when he made cars safer by wanting them less fuel efficient. It's like when he tried to improve healthcare by abolishing obamacare so "Democrats would have to create something better". He's an idiot.

That’s easy. Just include our pre-hopes and prayers with each ticket. After all Jesus didn’t have air travel and he did just fine

I cancelled a flight just yesterday. Looks like I’ll be driving on my trips for the foreseeable future.

So… Explain to me, like I’m 5 years old, how hiring a person with ZERO experience in ANYTHING related to aviation to head the FAA was a better decision… I’ll wait.

Yes, it’s easily proven, but J6 is just as easily proven and they’re whitewashing and denying it happened. It doesn’t matter if 300 million people saw it happen on TV. Dictators gonna dick…

If all flights are grounded because there are no ATCs, then there can’t be any plane crashes. It’s obvious!

You're assuming he cares.

He's not interested in that. He lies. When are people going to give up expecting him to be a President who's working for the US?

Trump is a loud mouth idiot.

By making everyone too poor to fly.

Trump and Hegseth are responsible for these plane accidents ... impeach now and throw in prison.

Two choices. Stop flying or have the airlines ground stop until professionals are rehired.

He isn’t hoping to improve a blessed thing, outside of oligarch bank accounts.

Pete needs to go on Fox News and speak truth!

Trump is destroying confidence in our air travel by doing the most stupid things to drive passengers away!

He's NOT! The felon Trump DOES NOT CARE about anyone but himself!

We haven't had enough air traffic controllers since Reagan decided to show their Union who was boss, and idiot Trump decided fewer air traffic controllers was the way to go. Harry S. Truman he's not, but the buck still stops on the Resolute Desk.

On the 4 hole. ON GOLF Course

Companies spend millions trying to build good cultures. Fear drives down confidence, innovation and problem solving. Are you thinking about the plane on the screen or how you’re gonna pay your mortgage?

See if a lot of people die the demand for eggs will go down and the price will go down accordingly. This is that 7th dimensional chess stuff he's always doing You're disrespected by your petty desire for human beings to live

He isn't. He never had any intention of making things better. His intention is clear, he is going to strip every agency down to bare bones, forcing the workers to do the job of four or five people without ever getting an increase in their pay. There will be tragedies all over the place.

He would like to destroy the industry so that only billionaires with private jets are going to be flying. The reduction in traffic will inherently make things safer

By holding the one legged, lesbian dwarves. Who are responsible for all these plane crashes, to account

Much of your MSM don't deal in facts, and there lies the problem.. like fast food it's easy to consume..

When you think that Trump wants to replace all civil servants with MAGA supporters, given his picks for state office - Hegseth, RFK, Gaetz (yeah, dodged that!) etc., doesn't fill you with confidence that replacing ATC with MAGA will be better. 🤔

By stopping air travel. Military aircraft only.

If a plane is going to crash, I hope it’s his

Should've been nicer ... . . This won't fly either, sucker . .

Our system seems to be excellent 👌🏻 I hate to fly and I would have flown prior to , 01.20.25... Not a single chance would I fly now! Absolutely not a chance!

peeteee you better take over your account fast

Easy! By only hiring air traffic controllers who are as brilliant as his pick for the Department of Health! 😳 I’m never flying again.

😩🤢

Or at least out of an American Airport. Cancelled my holiday today!

We have been RAPED & VIOLATED by Trump for allowing this & Musk for performing the act of stealing our private information. Musk is the new Jeffery Epstein. They must be charged & put behind bars with no internet access.

Those still posting on X/Twitter and Threads, your voice is no longer being heard. Both platforms have bent the knee to Trump, so shut down accounts now. And for a real impact we MUST also BOYCOTT Amazon, Apple and Google because big tech is now a global threat. Let’s do our part, Unite & Fight.

Holy Sh*t this post is awesome 🤩

It won’t but Congress is setting on their thumbs doing nothing! Democrats are doing nothing but complaining. They’re the only ones in power to stop these mad men couple and doing nothing! Off your asses Congress!

He’s not. If anything, he’s hoping for more tragedy so he can use it for political gain.

My daughter said "why every time he's in office planes drop outta the sky"

By spreading crackpot conspiracy theories and putting imbeciles in charge.

As Frank Conniff says, "tRUMP is the fascist who makes the planes crash on time." A dude with 50 years of untreated syphilis eating his brain doesn't care about safety.

Miracles!

he is going to end air travel for anyone but the elite which is fine with me let em all get on a plane and crash into the Andres mountains i doubt they can survive like #miracleintheandres

In case they do survive I will gladly give them a commemorative Donald J Trump knife, fork and spoon set so they can eat each other.

someone got the reference i have read the book Alive! like 20 times one of the best reads ever

You're underestimating the average Trump supporter's ability to suspend disbelief

Hello people, there is no plan to improve anything other than making certain individuals even more wealthy. Working people don't matter.
