Summary
Two planes collided while taxiing at Reagan National Airport, one carrying lawmakers including Rep. Josh Gottheimer, who blamed the incident on Trump-era FAA staffing cuts.
The White House denied cuts occurred, despite confirmed reductions of 400 FAA positions in February.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat described feeling the impact and accused the administration of misleading the public about aviation safety.
The crash follows a series of safety failures at Reagan, including a fatal January collision and an air traffic control tower fight last week that led to arrests and firings.
“That is, however, not exactly honest…”
Stop with the fucking doublespeak and have some god damned integrity. The word is “lie” the administration “lied.”
I think there might be a legal issue where if they say “lie” they need to be able to prove intent to deceive or get sued. It’s dumb but that could be the reason behind the wording.
Ok, I’ve been hearing about this for years and I’m tired of the argument so I propose we create a new word that means: its an obvious lie but I can’t say that because I don’t want to do court stuff.
That word = Fonked
“The trump administration fonked again today…”
