    • A couple headlines…

      If Trump wins, he could weaponize U.S. spy services against his domestic political enemies, former intel officers warn

      Some of Donald Trump’s allies are assembling proposals to curtail the Justice Department’s independence and turn the nation’s top law enforcement body into an attack dog for conservative causes

      Trump seeks to sweep away civil service protections that have been in place for more than 140 years. He has said he’d make “every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States” at will.

      didnt see anything about the FAA tho.

    • Well when Trump wants to appoint those employees personally what do you expect??!! Are democrats appointing the current employees?? No. This is all about tribalism. Tribalism means ANYTHING can be blamed on the other tribe. Without evidence or rational thought. Even delays to a private company by a regulatory body. Like that’s never happened before….That is where the US is right now. I pity your country at the moment. What a scary place to live.

      • I’d hardly call Trump a tribal Republican. He associated with Democrats most of his life. Lots of RINO “Never Trumpers” hate the guy, even now. And the media amplify the very worst “scary” stuff for clicks and eyeballs.

    • Giving their shown willingness to tip toe a single party line and act on their petty political revenges, they all need to go.

    • Meanwhile Zelensky “Victory” Plan calls to provoke Russia to the point a confrontation with
      NATO is inevitable. I am curious to see how far the cornered democrates will roll with this plan.

      Maybe WW3 is the election opt out plan for the deep state.

      The latest drone attack on the large Russian munition dump, LIKELY launched from nato country Latvia seems like a NATO provocation to start another war BEFORE the election.
      Let’s hope Putin doesnt take the bait and americans can vote away the powers of evil.

      • The ultimate provocation will be an attack on the great siberian gas pipeline crossing.

        Another play would be to invite the polish army inside ukraine and set up a buffer zone west of the dnpr and in the north around kiev

  4. Defund the nanny state.

    Bureaucrats are ruining the world in order to save it. The only way to reduce the amount of damage they can do is by taking away their funding.

    • No good commie FAA with their aircraft safety standards and pilot certification. Sack them all. I’m quite capable of using my own common sense about whether the aeroplane I’m on is safe or not. The pilot has a uniform and everything so it must be fine.

      • Sure, they do useful stuff, even if they’re getting worse at it as time goes by.

        Sadly, they also seem happy enough to be a weapon to be wielded against enemies of the Party.

        That latter function is pretty serious, and maybe we do need to move their necessary functions to the private sector.

      • Anarcho-Tyranny. If you are the “right kind” of people you can do absurd dangerous stuff to your planes where they smash into the ground and kill hundreds of people and, only get a fine. But if you’re not the “right kind” of people, the government stops your flights from a former cow pasture to study the fights harm of beetles.

  5. I wish them the best of luck with the lawsuit. I’d say that such a lawsuit would poison their relationship with the FAA, but can you really poison a relationship that’s already this hostile?
