    His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

    JFC. These guys love to play the hits.

    According to a lot of these idiots, the statue of limitations on blaming Obama has not run out, either.

    a contractor’s error or a faulty router had caused the nationwide disruption.

    What a flimsy coverup.

      a lot of innocent people were screwed by the grounding of flights, which i do sympathize. but also a lot of oligarchs got screwed worse. i hope it happens again. and for longer.

      every day, i’m given yet another reason i’m glad i decided to never fly again years ago

          This guy is right. This cost real time and money for… tens of thousands? Hundreds Of thousands? Of normal people. Oligarchs line went down a little. They lost pocket change, when others saved weeks or months to afford their trip that they probably cant take again because they have real jobs and cant do whatever they want whenever they want

            People in airports have at least some money. Many of them are flying for business. Poor people can’t afford to fly. I’m never concerned about people with money getting inconvenienced. I’m HAPPY when people with money are inconvenienced. It reminds them that they have to deal with the same shit as the rest of us, and they really hate that, which makes me happy. Schadenfreude is my hobby.

              Sure, just remember there is some middle ground between you and the pieces of shit at the top. Just because someone can afford to fly to a funeral, like my teacher coworker, does not make them well off

    1. Anyone that knows how work is conducted on critical infrastructure knows this was an attack and/or cover up, not an accident. An accident would be localized to a specific area or geographic region.

    2. DOGE gutted the system upgrade project.

      Do you have reason to think it’s an attack rather than incompetence? Many people suspected the AI rollout that was in the news the day before may have been responsible, and the stories they are telling are an attempt to cover up embarrassing incompetence with slightly less embarrassing incompetence.

    How long after Biden took over before Trump supporters said you can’t blame him anymore? Hasn’t that time elapsed since Trump took office again?

      How long after Biden took over before Trump supporters said you can’t blame him anymore

      Roughly 0.02 picoseconds

      Hasn’t that time elapsed since Trump took office again?

      Of course, but when it comes to fascists, hypocrisy isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

    Remember they gutted FAA and numerous plane crashes and fatalities followed at beginning of admin. Couldn’t be related to that…???
