I’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.

  1. It is a reality show to them. The POTUS is literally a former reality show star. They need to keep the narrative going or else they’ll lose the attention of their base.

  2. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

    All of Trump's men couldn’t put him back together… or lower egg prices.

    Incredible — they had one job and scrambled both. 🥚💸

  3. The irony that he is finding out you have to actually be good at your job, and work hard in "The Real World" is not lost on me.

  4. Just in case you haven’t noticed, the Republicans have turned blaming the previous administration into an industry.

  5. I don’t think he knows how to do his job. He wasn’t expecting to have to actually understand how on a federal scale the transportation system works. I really think he is just an idiot who got the job because he bent the knee enough.

  6. He's inept. What he's suggesting, overhauling the ATC system, will take far more time than he has in office. And he's not the person to strategically manage such a task. Side note, me thinks this is another Musk power grab and we can't stand for that. Verizon already has the contract, right?

  7. Duffy is not a real department head, he just plays one on TV. The Real Sycophants of DC. Quite the contrast to competent Mayor Pete.

  8. The felon’s cabinet makes up for their ignorance & incompetence with non stop propaganda, bluster & cos play. Sadly, it’s fairly effective for a large swath of America.

  9. He's a entertainment TV show host that peddled lies for years. It's all he knows and that's what he's continuing. Anyone taking a job they aren't qualified to take us just as complicit as Trump himself. *Besides taking these positions to purposely gut the country.

  10. The White Nationalist channel is their safe place

    They can ramble and babble about ‘not their fault’ and no blow back

    How many times has the Great Orange Dope admitted he was wrong?

  11. To them, this is a reality TV show. They don't care about governing at all, they only care about their narratives.

    Hence Trump viewing himself as a "movie maker." He wants Alcatraz open for the sweet sweet propaganda vibes. He's still riding high from the tattooed immigrant deportation video.

  12. the problem is not the tech, therefore the problem will not be solved with magical AI</soaring music>

    they need to double the FAA employees or triple it, and bring salaries up to a good level.

    which they will never do, all that money has gotta go into rich people pockets

    Seems like most of his appointees spend more time on TV , doing photo ops, praising their master and at social events than they do actually working

  14. They employ " The Think System." A con used by Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man to sucker parents into buying instruments for their kids. Kids would learn to play by "thinking" they could play. Like Duffy thinking about fixing the Air Traffic Control System

  15. If he were an honorable man he’d admit he was in over his head and let someone with actual experience take over.

  16. The whole White House administration is all performative. That’s the cover that everyone sees while they completely destroy our federal government on the inside and the education of our youth. Not to mention the arts and our military. We are distracted by the ongoing hubris. That’s their plan.

  17. How many people are going to die before it is privatized or dumped on the states to deal with? Even then the funds won't be there because the feds will still be taking a cut. Slash and burn is a phrase that may work in business but wasn't meant for air traffic safety.

  18. The only goal of the clown posse is distracting the population from actually doing something long enough for the oligarchs to get away with draining the country dry.

  19. When this is all over, the backlash whereby companies and institutions actually do start discriminating against white men in hiring is going to be hilariously funny to watch. Sorry, but it is. They ran on fighting anti-white prejudice and ended up making the case for it instead. LOLLLLLL

  20. The utterly bizarre blame game with Donnie-2-Dolls and his ‘Cabinet’ of unqualified tools has truly reached a level of contempt and absurdity.

    With each day they undermine their credibility.

    He’s so catastrophically unqualified for his position that’s all he knows how to do. He, like all of the cabinet,are so over their heads. The worry about DEI, but these people are IAI; Ignorant, Arrogant and Incompetent.

  22. Can’t privatize it if it is working properly. He was sent to break it and sell it off to his buddies. With a nice healthy percentage landing in his pocket. That’s the ONLY guiding principle of these Cabinet appointees.

  23. Such a breath of fresh air last night watching Jen Psaki interview with former Sec of Trans., 'Mayor Pete' Buttigieg as they came hard for the complete ineptitude of Sean Duffy. Jen even reminded us that Duffy's start on MTV's Real World might be why he got the job.

  24. Hysterical, spitting defense gushing every day by Miller and the Bimbo twins and Noem and Hegseth and other Fox collaborators. Methinks they know they have a SERIOUS problem on their hands. 🤨

    I wonder if this moron ever thought he would cause air traffic controllers to go out on PTSD medical leave when on The Real World Boston? Oh wait forgot it’s all Biden’s fault.

  26. They are trying to shut it all down. Otherwise he would have tried to pick some decently qualified people. We are now a Project 2025 and Russia run country and Congress is letting it happen. Correction, has let it happen.

  27. The reality is that they lack the skillset, work experience, & qualifications. They only know how to be the opposition party.

  28. same on bondi, but i guess at least when she is on focks (all the freakingtime) she isn't inflicting the horrible damage she inflicts, so i don't know if that's bad or not that she keeps being on focks.

  29. The TC systems have been an issue since the 80s. Reagan told the #Republicans what he thought of controllers by firing them all when they struck on issues of, uh, insufficient staffing, too-long hours, and antique equipment. And that was 1981, and not only set the iron hand on unions, but on TC $$$

  30. As usual everything Trump touch’s goes to shit! Bad business decisions lead to bankruptcy 6x!

  31. Well said Ron. Unfortunately, I think maybe there must be a major accident to get the admin to make changes....

    Until then, my feet stay on the ground.

  32. Yet, MAGA thinks that another 100-300 days of more of this same chaos, will make life better for citizens and get ally countries to return for more abuse. The ally countries moved on. The UK just struck a trade deal with India after 3 years of negotiations. Does the USA have 3 more years to wait?

  33. Doing his job is the problem. Just like almost all (if not all) of the total idiots Trump has put in charge of running this country Duffy is not capable of doing this job. And now that shit is really starting to hit the fan all these people can do is point fingers and blame everybody but themselves.

  34. I don't think they're trying to fix any of the issues they're just trying to convince the maga cult that they're doing something it's all a reality show

    Maybe the reality tv guy might not have been the best person for this position. Didn't have these issues when Biden administration was in office🤔

  36. Maybe Duffy missed the Hegseth Signal chats where may have blabbed about choppers flying across the Reagan airport.

  37. I just think it's so outrageous and frankly disgusting. The amount of experience and qualifications we had in these positions to this bunch of clueless embarrassing dolts. I keep saying to myself, it can't be as bad as people say, otherwise Republicans on the Hill would be pushing back, right?🙄->🪼

  38. He’s too busy lying and blaming Pete Buttigieg and is unsurprisingly in over his head.

    The Biden Admin was working to tackle the FAA ages-old communications issues and made progress on training/hiring more air traffic controllers.

    What the hell did Trump 1.0 do with these same ages-old problems?

  39. Ultra MAGAts literally can’t keep their mouths shut ever. They need that hit of TV face time. They’d rather talk on any medium than do their fucking job.

  42. How has Faux ever been questioned for their actions ever? Oh that’s right Dominion actually did,& well Faux settled They got off cheaply Really did. If they did go through the hearing, more of illegal activity would have arrived , ding ding to the dinner plate

    It’s a challenge to determine if incompetence counts higher than loyalty

  45. Ron, you nailed the core issue in your 3rd sentence. Duffy thinks it is a tv show just like Hegseth & Kennedy, in fact all of them.

    The casualties are going to add up rapidily & very soon.

    It will not be any of the above I mentioned but people like you or me or any average living human being.

  46. It may very well be a good thing that Duffy is pretending to be a reality tv star and NOT doing his job. As unqualified as he is, he could do some serious damage if he actually tried to do his job.

  47. They truly act like they're on a mission to burn it all down.

    Everything.

    I can't think of 1 thing they're doing that benefits the country. Can you?

  48. 💁🏾‍♀️ It's clear to me that Sean Duffy doesn't know what the hell he's doing is why he's on Fox propaganda whining and complaining to the anchors about the job that he shouldn't have. The delusional idiot who gave Sean this job shouldn't have the job he has as president! #ReclaimAmericafromTrumpism

  49. I’m deathly afraid to board our flight to CA from Illinois- if we had the time, I’d rather have taken a train. I will instruct my immediate family that if anything goes awry with our flights, to SUE THE SHIT out of the government.

  50. I didn’t think the goal is to fix it. The goal is to spook people for traveling, to take away the freedom of movement. Another page in the authoritarian play book. Timothy Snyder discusses this in this books

  53. Donald chose Duffy as SECDOT because he knew Duffy would spend most of his time on Fox complaining how bad things are and blaming the Dems and the deep state for the mess we’re in. Classic Trump playbook at work

  55. I bet to differ.

    Everyone of the current USA Secretary's of ...

    Some are best in class.

    Well done "Team USA".

  56. The Sec. of Transportation is acting like a contestant on a game show, waiting to see if he’s being given a lifeline to solve the air traffic control problem. 🙄🤬

    DJT’s cabinet members are not serious enough people for the roles they’ve been thrust into. The Senate holds as much blame as POTUS.

  57. Retired ATC. I'm not flying for the foreseeable future. ATC has always been prone to externalize any issue on the lowest common denominator (the controllers) demanding that they make it work and so often they do but there is a tearing point and I think we are there. Also Sean Duffy is a fukkin joke.

  58. On December 19, 1998 all it took for a President to be impeached was an affair. Now, attempts to impeach are merely viewed as a way to express that you dislike a convicted Presidential felon who has SA'ed numerous women, & who actively disregards our Constitution. Take a moment to let that sink in.

  59. “Reality TV” government perfectly captures public facing front end of the endless grift machine that is this administration.

  60. Duffy doesn’t know how to fix it. That’s the issue. They’ve probably fired, gutted/suspended the people & agencies that could fix the problem. So instead of having a government that works to protect and take care of us, we have utter incompetence. Lord, help us all.

  61. I literally hate flying and I'm prob not flying in the US until Trump is gone and we have competence at the FAA again.

  65. That’s why I refuse to fly right now. I live near a busy airport and it’s only a matter of time.

  66. It's the MO of almost all Trump officials, when they are not doing appearances directly on right wing media, they are in or at the WH doing the same. It even overlaps in departments. A military helicopter again in the space of not 1 but 2 commercial aircrafts, after already a crash. Hegseth & Duffy.
