Because the young girl, her mother, her doctor, and the others onboard were Mexican nationals trump will soon lie and whine that they were all illegal immigrants trying to avoid capture by Homan and his ICE army. The cult will gush in awe yet again. Make that stupefied awe. Again.
If he doesn't go with the above scenario, he will lie and whine that its another DEI situation where attempts to serve more Latino kids at Shriners Children's Hospital resulted in disaster. And, on cue, the gushing in stupefied awe will accompany this idiotic notion just like always.
None were trans
None were disabled
All were White
Most were men
Now we know, the crash was due to a lack of DEI.
Fuck off, DonOLD.

... Kosta aired footage of the president telling reporters: “The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative. ... They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy and dwarfism.”
Kosta was temporarily lost for words.
“Dwarfism?” he asked.
“I can’t believe it’s only Day 10 and Trump is already this far down his list of scapegoats,” the comedian continued. “He’s blown past race and gender, and now he’s hitting dwarves? Is he really suggesting there is a plane crash because someone with dwarfism worked in air traffic control?”
Donny, are you okay?

To the editor: The Palisades fire was a tragic event for everyone involved — not just because of the loss of life, but also because of the destruction of homes and businesses and all that accompanies that loss. So, what I suggest will surely be met with scorn and derision. ("Parts of Pacific Coast Highway reopen Sunday amid interagency chaos," Feb. 2)
For the first time in more than 100 years, it is now possible to drive along Pacific Coast Highway west from Topanga Canyon Boulevard to Malibu and have an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean. A quick check on Zillow reveals estimated sales values of the properties in the range of $2 million to $10 million.
Money is spent every year on mitigating the effects of erosion on the cliffs above PCH as well as on the damage caused by the ever-encroaching sea. As sea levels continue to rise, the structures along the highway will come under increasing threat.
Perhaps it's time to consider this question: Should the structures that burned down along PCH be rebuilt?

I never liked the aesthetics of the homes compared to ocean views. No matter, money will win.
