PSA - Watch for those on DU pointing to Biden admin for airliner crash

[uponit7771]

Benedict Donald's recent presser was so disgusting that MAGA Media isn't looping it

Now they want to amplify that this was Bidens fault etc

Don't let them

Enron Musk fired head of FAA

https://www.yahoo.com/news/faa-administrator-quit-jan-20-045322293.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAM-CsdEnFVCkRdDo1nrkJdUjfkcwBXF_91DTOrjNS-DOpok-WQyeD1-nxIvrDaykkWqNNQrUnAw2nOoImMO_tB2ZOhNsDDVH7N1FkuX0DyWLWQceOl3HlXZQzS7ImDFqnh7N15O9gAbuTZ2l90gTGnOExcoXTKjcF7JEiUrRPHsg

... and going by MAGA logic any new admin is at fault for everything that goes on during their admin in isolation

To hell with them, everything wrong is Trumps fault

EDIT: MAGA isn't taking this well, hit them with the Enron Musk link ... they start mind spin afterwards.

[uponit7771]

1. Kick for EDIT

[WarGamer]

2. Some clarity... Whitaker resigned before inauguration and FAA Admin is a position that requires Senate vote

But I agree with the rest.

The second in command is now the acting FAA Admin

[uponit7771]

6. Whitaker was forced about be Enron Musk, M$M is attempting to keep Musk's name out of the issue ... I wont let them

[WarGamer]

10. agreed... but not fired.

[Autumn]

3. You got a link to anyone on DU blaming the Biden admin for airliner crash?

i haven't seen any DU member do that.

[WarGamer]

5. there was a post, I saw it.

[Autumn]

7. No link?

[BannonsLiver]

15. Post is toward the bottom of the thread

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219964848

[stillcool]

18. thanks. I first saw that

being said by Tim Kaine in a presser. Looks like webs weaving.

28. This is the relevant post. Click "Share" below the post, then copy/paste the individual post.

[BannonsLiver]

34. That's a callout, isn't it? I know how to post links to specific posts.

But assumed we aren’t allowed to do that.

[ancianita]

35. Never heard of that in the rules.

If so, you can argue that this passive aggressive warning on a DU OP about others taking the Trump line over this plane disaster falls under the same umbrella, and so does your posting a thread and "guiding" a DU reader to look up who you're referring to, for that matter.
I mean, seriously? If any post in General Discussion is doing what the OP says, just Alert the individual posts; why make it some major OP issue?
So in general, I'll look up the official EarlG rule on the purpose of the Share button at the bottom of posts, and/or what a "call out" is; but still gotta ask you, too: What's the point of the Share button on the bottom of each thread's postings, if it's not relevant to some another thread, or the OP of that thread?

[intheflow]

37. It's in the Terms of Service, under Civilty:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice

No personal attacks or flaming
Do not personally attack, insult, flame, threaten, bully, harass, stalk, negatively call-out, ascribe ugly ulterior motives to, or make baseless claims about any member of this community. Do not post in a manner that is hostile, abusive, or aggressive toward any member of this community.

Why we have this rule: Civility begets quality discussions. Democratic Underground members are highly passionate about politics which means discussions can get heated -- but they don't need to get nasty. There's no reason why a community of intelligent adults who agree on a majority of political issues can't have a conversation without insulting each other or resorting to other anti-social behaviors.

So you should remove this.

[BannonsLiver]

42. Yeah I have seen it go both ways so I wasn't sure. Thank you for your reply.

[LauraInLA]

38. Tim Kaine had previously warned about adding flights to what he said was an overburdened airport.

Have we seen anything that suggests this was the cause of the crash? And not sure how that is blaming the Biden administration?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. Probably from LG,

that's been taken care of.

[uponit7771]

12. GOOD !! The X cesspool is tryna contain that hellish presser

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. They sure are, but it'seems to be not working. nt

[Mike 03]

14. Is it still up?

Is linking to this thread against DU rules? (I honestly don't know)

[intheflow]

39. Yes, callouts are against the Terms of Service.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice

It’s under the Civility section.

[yardwork]

9. If you scroll down the GD page you'll see the OP.

Take a look.

[Mike 03]

16. I want to see it. I'm assuming it was reported? NT

[Mike 03]

24. TY! NT

[uponit7771]

11. I saw it too, might get deleted by there's multiple people coming over from X cesspool tryna point to Biden

[mcar]

22. I was on a jury for one an hour or so ago

[Mike 03]

23. Thank you! NT

[LauraInLA]

36. Tim Kaine had previously warned about adding flights to what he said was an overburdened airport.

Not sure how this is blaming the Biden administration? And not sure if this was the actual cause of the collision.

[Autumn]

40. I did some researching on the link. The post was factual. A lot errors over a lot

of time. But Trump exasberbated it with the shit he pulled last week.

[LauraInLA]

41. Exactly.

[malaise]

4. K & R

For truth

[iemanja]

17. Start a witch hunt

How community oriented.

[stillcool]

19. inquiring minds want to know

don't you? Why voice an opinion if you don't want it read?

[iemanja]

21. Because I don't like targeting DUers

and when I see efforts to treat people badly, I call it out.

[stillcool]

25. fair-enough..

I've gotten to feel the same way about some Democrats, at my detriment.

[Paladin]

32. Any DU'er that blames Biden in any way for that plane crash...

...ought to face immediate and permanent banishment from the site. I've been here for well over 20 years, and I know for a fact that the banishment penalty has been used for far lesser infractions.

Might as well adopt a wartime frame of mind and action---because that's exactly where things stand, now...

[iemanja]

43. That decision is Earl G's, not yours

and there are ways to deal that should the post arise. I can't imagine there are more than one or two people on the entire site who would blame Biden for the crash. Perhaps the OP saw a single post and overreacted.

The enemy is Trump, not other DUers. Treating our community as the enemy is self-destructive.

[Paladin]

44. Yeah, well...

Pardon the absolute hell out of me for expressing an opinion on something. As if I was attempting to usurp Earl G's position and authority in any way, shape, or form.

"Treating our community as the enemy..." Puh-leeeze...

[progressoid]

20. Uh...Musk didn't fire him. He quit.

It's in the story you linked. https://www.yahoo.com/news/faa-administrator-quit-jan-20-045322293.html

[MarineCombatEngineer]

27. He quit because Musk threatened to fire him and he knew Been A Dick Donald would back him up,

so indirectly, Musk did fire him.

[intheflow]

30. So he complied in advance.

Not that blame him; I wouldn’t want to work in such close proximity to either Elon or the felon. But it was his choice to not wait until an official notice came from someone who actually worked in government, not from a volunteer who bought the keys to the kingdom.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

31. He probably quit, and this is just speculation,

he didn't want to give Been A Dick Donald, nor Loony Musk, the satisfaction of firing him and putting negative comments in his personnel jacket.

[intheflow]

33. Like I said, I don't blame him.

But he wasn’t fired.

[Rendville]

26. Black Hawk Hitting American Airlines Defies Imagination & Logic

There is no conspiracy here attempting to “blame” Biden. But the air collision over Reagan Airport defies imagination and logic. Last month The FAA approved even MORE flights into Reagan National, although Congress was warned about a collision risk increase at an already overburdened airport. Tim Kaine said NO!
But he was ignored. The bill received bipartisan support and Biden signed off.
DJT knew all of this going in. He also ignored all warnings and then moved to destabilize the situation even further. Urging Musk of all unelected people, to push out Michael Whitaker who’d only been in the position for a year. We really must begin to pay deeper attention as citizens & activists so we can understand how we got ourselves into this National mess and hour of crisis. We can strategize based on paying close attention to the "agent provocateurs.”

[intheflow]

29. Thanks for insinuating I'm eeeevil for saying

it’s too early to blame anyone, and maybe a combination of actions across administrations contributed to this. I am a leftist, which means I deal in facts, I don’t confuse correlation with causation, and don’t seek to politicize what looks like a genuine accident due to too much air traffic.
