Thank you for being so clear. I will admit, when I first got the alerts and before hearing the controllers, my first question was "was air traffic control affected by Trump's nonsense?" I found no evidence of it, then came the recordings, so I relaxed on that.

But note how (despite the differences in origin) he glommed onto the most obvious question and then his administration used it for propaganda...

Whether it ends here or not, this is not the leadership we should expect and demand from our nation's leaders. Thank you for your clear writing and comparison, not to mention what we should look out for. If only the Democratic party was so clear and immediate.

Trump’s first murders in this new administration.

He does the same thing with every tragedy. A propaganda move right out of the Kremlin‘s playbook.

I'm so glad I found your substacks, Olga. Thank you so much for all of your hard work in keeping us well-informed. 💙 I still can't believe we're living this dystopian nightmare.

I didn't think it possible to be even more appalled.... I have no words except to say my thoughts are with the families, I hope they don't see what trump said.

They say they "will not speculate but will.provide the facts. A preliminary report in 30 days"

"We don't have alot of information now, that will change.".

Thank goodness someone in government is still acting responsible. I hope they don't get fired for doing their job.

'Somehow, somewhere in the FAA, there must be a black person or a woman who doesn't deserve to work there and screwed things up!' In all seriousness, the Trump drones are like parrots: Ask them anything and they'll repeat "DEI, DEI!" no matter what the topic. Will the bigotry ever wear thin?

I know for a fact that it was a bunch of transexuals having an orgy that caused the crash. I have the videos. Oh and trump is in the video!!

Pretty pathetic you feel the need to make a joke out of a tragedy

His post-crash remarks made it clear that what we still have, just 10 days into his second term, is the same, lame shock-jock. A petulant child, who cannot rise up to meet a national moment. Not even minimally. I should not have expected more, yet it still breaks my heart. https://thegoldenmean2040.substack.com/p/he-is-the-same-awful-man

They're a disgrace and laughing stock at the same time. Those who continue to buy into this garbage are the people who elected the garbage. What does that say, again, for 50% of Americans? They're fools.
