people love their symbolic bullshit like, "yeah it would be nice to see the president go to the site" what that really means is it would be nice for the airspace to be cut off and traffic to be disrupted and flights to be delayed and the investigation slowed to a crawl while the security detail disrupts everything so that a guy can look around for a few minutes and be like, "yup, some aircraft sure did crash here!"
- "It was one of the strongest, wettest crashes I've ever seen."
  
  Nothing sadder could've happened here
  
  Elton John starts playing
- Part of me wonders if it would bring some comfort to the families of some victims who would like to see their tragedy given some weight and importance by someone as important as the President. But it's Trump, so we know he'd barely be able to pretend he gave a shit.
  
  "Well you know it's a tragedy, these planes are usually so safe, big beautiful aircraft- have you ever been on one? Very nice but the "flight attendants" you have to call them flight attendants now because you get in trouble if you call them a stewardess but that used to be the name of the job! They used to say "I want to be a stewardess when I grow up!" but now they let anyone do it and you have to say the right thing or the left will come after you. The news media. The media will come after me and say "He doesn't think men should be on airplanes" but I love airline workers. Nobody loves our amazing airline workers more than me and people tell me that all the time"
  
  "Here, you can have a coupon to any Trump tower; 20% discount, the best discount, everyone says so. We got a guy here who says he got a 15% discount, woulda killed for a 20% discount; the best towers, no one builds 'em like I do, but we got the radical left trying to...." (and then this goes on for another ten minutes and somehow ends on an entirely different topic than it started)
  
  i totally get that but a competent leader could pull that off without gumming up the investigation by symbolically visiting it

"no mr trump there is no need to swim."
- "No, Mister Trump. I expect you to dive."

Yeah like this is loveable boob behavior...but it's coming from a fucking fascist.
- The president is the villain of a children's movie where the hero is a talking dog.
  
  Alternatively he's also the villain of a comic strip that ends with the other character going "......what?"
- a fucking fascist.
  
  Call me a lib if you must, but I stand by my statement that he is!

Trump is the key to all of this, because he's a funnier president than we've ever had before.
- The multi-billion dollar genetic engineering labs be like, after their GWB run was over, "We can rebuild him; we have the technology. We can make him worse....slower.....dumber"
  
  we need to start a bullying campaign: Trump is too much of a coward to eat all these pretzels
- It's like poetry, it rhymes.
- :stoklasa-agony:
- I'm hoping I can laugh as he gets bird flu while liberals tell us to pray for his recovery.

Lmao soul of a poster. It has literally never mattered that a politician visits the site of x, just that they respond properly. Anything else is just a photo op.

That's what I don't get about the gerontocracy. Like, he can't be in great health. He can hear the long dark calling his name every night as he drifts off to another apnea-laden slumber. There's no long term consequences to anything you do, so just do something goddamn fun. Say free ponies for everyone. Dump a birthday cake on Mike Johnson's head. Anything but the status quo but dumber.
- free ponies for everyone
  
  I'd vote for him!

What happened now?
- Army helicopter crashed into a passenger jet in D.C
- Ah searched https://www.cbsnews.com/news/watch-live-trump-to-speak-on-dc-plane-crash/
  Tragedy and farce. .

Wipe the servers, you mean like with a cloth?
