    It’s crazy that Trump and Musk attacked aviation is not a bigger story. I really think it’s possible that there’s a direct link between their decisions and this crash.

    Isn’t there a procedure, a process, for these things to happen? How can he just do it?

    Where are the guardrails, the checks and balances, where tf is anything and anyone in government?

    Dictator on day one was a threat, not something everyone with responsibility was supposed to just say ok to.

      As the head of the Executive Branch, he can so what he wants within the Executive.

      Then he has toadies doing what he wants in the Legislative and Judicial branches.

        He cannot. He has has to follow the legal structure set by the legislature. Now, if nobody stops him or say no 🤷

          The Legislature is a separate but equal branch to the Executive, they have no say over what he does within the Executive.

            I mean they do but it does require passing laws specifically outlining the thing and both houses are controlled by republicans.

          That would require a majority in opposition in the House and Senate and the majority there support him.

            I know. But he’s not playing that ball game anymore. Neither should people with morals.
            I’m basically ranting, excuse me. And thank you for indulging me.
