This is all totally insane, but the description of the video you included left out one of the more interesting details:

(Obviously bearded belly dancers should be the least controversial and offensive thing about that video but it’s still interesting that they didn’t try to edit that out before posting. Or more likely they just don’t know how.)
I’m guessing someone else has suggested this, but he “one” [sic] in a landslide in those places, and among those voters, that he won in a landslide. Everywhere & everyone else are just phonies, haters, “illegals”, fake news etc. so they simply dont count. (I’ll leave it to the reader to ponder the demographics where / among whom there was no landslide.)
I’m sure he plays golf the same way - “doesn’t count, fake sand trap”
(Edit for typoe’s etc.)
The near miss was clearly the fault of the FlexJet flight when viewed in isolation, just as proximate cause.
Nothing like this ever happens in isolation. It’s always the product of a slow degradation of a safety system that was, ideally at some point, highly redundant and the product of many harsh lessons. Those systems are superficially inefficient; in this case they have survived degradation by cost and wage cutting, and rule bending, because they are designed to work even when you get a Really Bad Day.
The decline in robustness is showing at the margins. It’s mostly more close calls for now, but more accidents will follow with brutal statistical certainty as “mildly unsafe, but caught in time” situations turn into full on collisions.
I’ve suggested to my MP, who is the Minister of Transport, that perhaps 
should start invalidating the individual flight-worthiness certificates for 
aircraft and hauling them out of service for our own inspections until the FAA is back to the level where they can do the job.
I guess to update this, all that needs to be done is some substitutions of past surnames to those of the present that are relative to the theme of the song.
No joke at all: I got nauseous just reading this.
But it’s not the place of the president to pass judgment so quickly.
He should stay out of it until there is an official report and then he should still stay out of it in case there’s any litigation.
He has no idea when to keep is mouth shut and when to open it.
Hmmmm…
I always thought God abominated golden statues, you know, all that Exodus 32:1–4 stuff…
I’m sure that there’s a long list of things these guys are doing that a just God would find abominable.
And the golden Trump statues aren’t a new thing…
Is he by some chance mistaking the word “Gaza” for “Plaza”?
Either way, and I am sorry for nagging, @LockeCJ , but any chance of that puke emoji?
This has to be the best and, at the same time, worst portmanteau* ever.
Horribly apt, consider it nicked.
*If indeed that’s what it is.
Can you imagine if someone from the Biden administration took their oath on anything other than a Bible.
Fucking DODGY
Have fun Marco!
It’s a known term for the intersectionality of double the prejudice against Black women.
It’s the first time I’ve seen the word.
Kudos to the original coiner, but a bloody shame it was ever needed.
