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

... 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.

The second in command is now the acting FAA Admin

(39,316 posts)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?

(29,216 posts)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.

(33,028 posts)don't you? Why voice an opinion if you don't want it read?

(55,356 posts)and when I see efforts to treat people badly, I call it out.

(33,028 posts)I've gotten to feel the same way about some Democrats, at my detriment.

(29,272 posts)...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
(55,356 posts)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
(29,272 posts)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...

MarineCombatEngineer
(14,695 posts)so indirectly, Musk did fire him.
intheflow
(29,216 posts)Not that blame him; I wouldnt 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
(14,695 posts)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
(29,216 posts)But he wasnt fired.
Rendville
(28 posts)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 whod 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
(29,216 posts)its 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 dont confuse correlation with causation, and dont seek to politicize what looks like a genuine accident due to too much air traffic.
