"it is not standard to have aircraft collide," thank you Secty. Duffy for that brilliant analysis

[Native]

Thank you president trump for your contribution to the most inept U.S. government since its existence.

[Hugin]

1. Thanks for the insight Duffy...

* cough * * cough * Dunning - Kruger… * cough *

2. That's some "Real World" wisdom right there

He was on the MTV show The Real World. His wife was too. I think that’s where they met.

[AverageOldGuy]

3. Let's hope:

That neither the airliner nor the helicopter had a female flight crew member.

[Ilsa]

20. Or a POC. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Limited vocab.

Reveals a limited reading history in addition to being a sign of low I.Q.

[Emile]

5. It's time for Republicans to accept personal responsibility.

What is Trump going to do to prevent this from happening again?

[AverageOldGuy]

8. Lower the price of eggs???

[meow2u3]

27. Blame Biden and the Democrats? ... nt

[Emile]

29. Sit on their hemorrhoidal ass and point their

shit stained fingers.

[niyad]

38. already have. Some of the comments from magats are mindboggling.

[AverageOldGuy]

6. DJ Trump, June 2015:

"I hire only the best people."

[malaise]

7. Someone should have told him that the collective nouns for aircraft are

wing, fleet, squadron, and flight…but never AIRCRAFTS.
What a moron.

[bluesbassman]

10. That's a feature not a bug in TSF's administration.

It would be humorous if they weren’t such an existential threat to our Nation.

[malaise]

12. A true

Kakistocracy

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

9. "Buffy" says what?

[niyad]

39. Please do not insult our favourite vampire slayer. We need her!

[Rebl2]

43. What does

that mean. Vampire slayer?

[niyad]

45. Did you never hear of that television show?

[Rebl2]

50. Yes

Never watched it though.

[Happy Hoosier]

11. The man is clearly brilliant. NT

[defacto7]

13. And here I thought it was standard practice.

I'm glad that was clarified.

[struggle4progress]

48. It may be now

[Tommy Carcetti]

14. Said with the confidence only a member of the Real World: Boston cast can deliver.

He's stopped being polite, and he's started getting real.

15. Box of Rocks

Meet Duffy, another idiot in a critical position. I worked for the FAA for 10 years and am still associated with them as a designee, and guys like him make me sick—another "TV" personality without so much as a lick of sense. Sometimes, it's just best to say little so as not to reveal oneself to be incompetent. He wouldn't know what's involved in root cause analysis for something of this magnitude if it bit him in the ass.

I am one of those very experienced people (47 years) who are thinking about pulling the plug. Many of my cohorts have. And my job entails issuing aircraft airworthiness certificates, among other functions. I bet Ninglenuts doesn't even know we exist and what we do.

[Marthe48]

31. Welcome to DU

[twodogsbarking]

16. When you are too stupid to know you are stupid.

[littlemissmartypants]

17. He is just another idiot...Pat-ter-rin... standard flight pat-ter-rin..

Help me Jesus!!

22. Patter-ren. And he said it more than once.

[littlemissmartypants]

24. Yep. Like a three year old learning...

How to talk to annoy his parents who know better but their kid's an assh*le.

[Prairie Gates]

18. Heckuva job, Duffy

[patphil]

42. DubYa's contribution to the American experience.

[C_U_L8R]

19. Duffy added precisely nothing to the press conference.

Isn't that stupid DOGE outfit supposed to dispose of government waste?

[hatrack]

21. Very thoughtful of them!

They're saving us valuable time by trotting out their rank stupidity, parading showgirls around it to draw additional attention, and then setting it on fire.

No need for research!!!

[littlemissmartypants]

25. Showasses. Comparable to Show Horses..but..

More belligerent, cheaper and more annoying.

[Wiz Imp]

23. Anyone who ever saw Duffy on MTV or an any of his regular gigs on FOX News already should have known

that he man is one of the dumbest people on the face of the earth. Fortunately, he is unlikely to do actual major damage as Secretary of Transportation beyond saying stupid things.

[littlemissmartypants]

26. Having a stupid boss...

Is never good for morale. Which is detrimental to readiness and overall performance.

[Diamond_Dog]

28. Can anyone imagine him dealing with the Ohio train derailment?

Pete Buttigieg he isn’t.

[boonecreek]

33. E. Palestine, OH.

IIRC the Republicans instantly blamed Pete Buttigieg as if he were solely responsible for inspecting railroad rights of way.

[mwooldri]

30. File this under "No shit, Sherlock"....

This is what happens when you have a President who takes the lyrics to a Miley Cyrus's song way too literally.

[yonder]

32. From the same fouled well as TSF's: "This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented."

Gee, ya think?

[Raven123]

34. When all you know is inappropriate snark, it's what you spew

[Klarkashton]

36. Some Duffy dimwit asshole.

[sop]

37. "Musk, DOGE and Trump's spending freeze caused this disaster!...It's all their fault!"

That's what all of us should be screaming right now. It's what Republicans would be saying if the shoe was on the other foot.

[niyad]

41. Some are already doing that, and being admonished by the magats. "how DARE

you make this political? it isn't t###'s fault, it is Biden's woke and DEI policies." The mental disconnect between those statements hurts to contemplate.

[turbinetree]

40. Well Sec. Duffy did you get that wisdom from the inside of a cracker jack box ...............

ever hear the term no shit sherlock..............your just as bright as the other psychopath(s) now in charge.......... maybe you could try one of these cakes ..........

[Skittles]

51. I am disappointed none of those moron cakes has fishlips

they need to GET WITH THE PROGRAM

[turbinetree]

52. Yepper............

[Peregrine Took]

44. Yes I heart that on NPR - if everything was so "standard" why did they meet up together? n/t

[dchill]

46. Secretary Duffy needs to think about what "not standard" means, now.

It's the new paradigm.

[Lulu KC]

47. Last night I kept wanting to see Pete making a statement

The contrast couldn't be more striking.

[IbogaProject]

49. Yep I dont recall that happening during Joe's term

I have this hunch they were drunk going to link up w Hageseth to go party. And I'm sure the solders won't get checked for booze.
