Americans Die When You Fire Federal Employees and Replace Them With Incompetent People
Republicans are responsible for 100% of the problems with our country
I’m sorry to say that the current presidential administration is just as bad as I feared it would be. I hate being right.
Today, the United States of America is mourning the loss of 67 of its citizens. Meanwhile, the only statement I’ve heard from the president is when he disgustingly tried to blame it on anybody but himself.
Friends, this is why we shouldn’t fill important government positions with the least qualified people in the country. These are important jobs. When incompetent people hold those seats of power, Americans die.
They die, just like the 67 people who died today.
But for me, it’s worse that the families of those people have to endure the further insult of listening to a president that refuses to take accountability for anything, and who refuses to learn from his mistakes.
It makes me suspect even more people will die before this is over.
We need to make flying safe again.
There are a lot of things about this tragedy that make me enraged. This morning I posted this note:
Immediately I received a response from somebody who accused me of “sensationalizing” the issue. They went on to say I should find “legitimate” things to complain about.
Excuse me? What’s “not legitimate” about holding a president accountable when his decisions lead directly to civilian deaths?
Don’t forget this timeline:
This is all part of the purge of competent employees that is the essence of Project 2025. You see, the United States government is an extremely complex system. It requires COMPETENT individuals at various positions in our society.
Not anti-vaxxer former heroine addicts with brain worms. Lord help us!
Every other president has been smart enough to recognize this, so they don’t try to replace every person at every important position with an unqualified loyalist.
Because what happens? You end up getting midair collisions, that’s what!
But we can’t even talk about this. A reporter asked the DC fire chief if there was an acting FAA director and he just walked away:
Why isn’t there an FAA director?
It’s because the rat that owns twitter pressured the guy who used to hold that position to resign. I heard he was mad because the former director insisted on following appropriate safety measures.
But what really makes me angry is the comment from some random keyboard warrior that suggested I was wrong to be critical of this completely preventable crash. That was a case of somebody shooting off their mouth before they got the facts. Their default setting was to defend the incompetent administration.
Get used to having a default setting that blames the Republicans for everything. They do it to us, but that doesn’t make us like them. They’re just making up phony allegations. When we hold them accountable, it’s because of something they’re actually guilty of.
Folks, this is what I’ve been trying to TELL you! When you see gross incompetence and gross negligence, you NEED TO CALL IT OUT! Republican ideology is getting us killed. Don’t pretend that’s not the case. If you survived the pandemic you should count yourself lucky, not everybody did.
They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. The guy already had his day in court and he was found guilty.
There’s an accountability void in our society because the scumbag Republicans use every tragedy to attack their political opponents. The result of that is that we’re just going to keep dying and dying and dying until all of us our dead.
When you hire an incompetent alcoholic to run the department of defense and you fire the director of the FAA and you pressure existing air traffic controllers to resign, what happens?
You have deadly midair collisions! That’s what happens!
That’s what did happen. Everybody saw this coming!
In fact, people were predicting there would be crashes just hours before the first crash happened.
Yes, I said “first” because if there’s one thing we’ve learned about this administration, it’s that it doesn’t learn from its mistakes. All they do is blame others.
But here’s what really makes me frustrated. I made a completely legitimate criticism about our rapidly unraveling reality, and the first person to opine on that comment immediately came to the defense of the deplorable, incompetent decisions that got us here.
“Find something legitimate to criticize him about.”
Why do you insist on maintaining a standard that is no longer relevant? Why are you apologizing for decisions that get innocent people killed?
This idea that we shouldn’t connect the dots between incompetence and death is why the Democrats can’t win any elections. The age of decorum is gone. We used to be able to depend on a president to show a bit of empathy for people who lost their lives in a tragedy. That’s where the practice of decorum came from. But today, we can depend on our president NOT to do that.
In fact, our president blamed his predecessor and DEI for the accident! How would you like to be a grieving family member and have to hear that? Where are the whispering voices saying that behavior is “illegitimate”?
We’ve got an accountability void and liberals need to start conditioning themselves to MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE TAKE THE BLAME! If we stay silent, the Republicans are going to wriggle out of any consequences by attacking COMPLETELY INNOCENT PEOPLE!
Maybe you’ll be on the next plane that collides with a military helicopter. When incompetent people run everything, nobody is safe.

When he said he knew because he had common sense I thought you have absolutely no common sense. Then the nerve of him blaming DEI was an insult to the intelligence of all involved in the crash while no one even knew what caused it. Saying they should have qualified highly intelligent people in positions 🙄, well you can imagine what I was saying about being qualified. The only ones that are not qualified or highly intelligent are the 3 that were speaking. It was even more painful watching Hegseth and Vance speak. They were worse than Drump. I thought if I was close enough I would have slapped them both. You expect Trump to say stupid things but something about the 2 others enraged me. I also noticed the evil and malice as Hegseth spoke which I would bet is withdrawal of alcohol. I knew many and as a nurse worked in D&A and the real monster comes out when they detox. Basically he's a dry drunk. He'll get worse before any sign of getting remotely better.
"find something legitimate to complain about"
oh, you mean like "he stutters"?
