More than 40 years after an Air Florida jet crashed into a cold and icy Potomac River, an American Airlines flight has done the same, this time after colliding with an Army helicopter.
Is it a coincidence that this disaster happened just nine days after Benedict Donald started messing with the FAA's personnel initiatives and freezing its hiring? (As we know, air traffic controllers work for the federal government.) Or is it Pete Hegseth's fault, since it looks like it was the Black Hawk that hit the plane, and not vice versa? Democrats should demand answers — over and over and over. The Republicans certainly would if we were still in charge.
Meanwhile, we've been offline for a bit, but we have a few thoughts.
From the Justice Denied files: Wow, former Senator Bob Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison yesterday (while Benedict Donald gets nothing for his many crimes). We'd be more outraged if Bob hadn't toddled out to reporters immediately after court and whined about political witch hunts — clearly wheedling for a pardon. Screw him. It was Joe Biden's DOJ that prosecuted him. And we have no sympathy for any Democrat who starts a sentence with "President Trump is right."
Gosh! It's just dawned on us that if Benedict Donald follows through and imposes tariffs on Mexico on February 1, the price of guacamole will skyrocket — just in time for the Super Bowl. Oh, well!
Our favorite Substacker Benjamin Dreyer offers some good advice on perspective, which is one way to cope with these epically awful Trumpy days. If someone asks you how you're doing, just say, "As far as the things over which I can exert any sort of actual control, I'm fine."
Finally, happy 143rd birthday to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who provides us with our idée du jour: "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." We cats PURR.
