Summary

Army Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, a highly accomplished pilot and top 20% ROTC cadet, was among 67 killed when her Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet near Washington, D.C.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth blamed "DEI" for the crash despite no official cause being determined.

Lobach had 450+ flight hours and numerous military honors.

They didn't make that DEI accusation because they expected it to be true, so the fact that it's so patemtly false doesn't matter.

They made the accusation just because they're hateful, bigoted pieces of shit trying to appeal to other hateful, bigoted pieces of shit.

Truth means nothing. Hate and greed are the only things that matter to them.

    Exactly! And disputing it in this way just adds credence to the argument. Failing to rejection the premicr wholesale gives tacit approval that sometimes it might be the case, and sets us up to keep having to respond like this, rather than saying any argument centered on DEI is bullshit.

    Yeah, if she weren't allowed to be in the military and instead was at home making babies (like a real woman), there would've been an objectively worse male pilot instead and wouldn't have been allowed to fly. Thus preventing the tragedy. Won't someone think of the children?

    Nah. They made it to force a fake alternative reality for their supporters. Now they can start to hate DEI workers in their normal life!!! Yay!!!

    Firehose* of disinformation, which is par for the course.

    The complicit media companies rush to cover every absurdity he spouts, thereby passively covers up the fact that his own rushed policies are likely the ultimate culprit of this crash!

    His federal worker hiring freeze, and forcing the head of the FAA to resign/step down apparently led to there only being 1 flight controller in the tower; where there needed to be a minimum of 2.

    So Trump falls back on his usual strategy of deny early, deny often, deny 100 ways.

    ..and y’all less than one month into his 48(+?) month term.
