I mean if you want to be pedantic... 15k is technically tens of thousands.

Not my point. Try again.

Not my point. Try again.

No thanks.

I mean technically, POTUS is in charge of the FAA, DOT and NASA...so he kinda does get credit for it - whether or not he directly did anything to influence it. The buck stops at his desk, good or bad.

The report was about worldwide aviation safety, not just for the US. That part seems to be lost on many, including those claiming credit for it.

P.S. You forgot the NTSB, which as an independent investigative agency the President really isn't 'in charge of'.

No thanks.

Sorry if that hurt your feelings, flyer.

Genuinely not interested in debating your stupid “will more laws do anything?” ‘point’ that’s been hashed out 1000x.

Try again?

You're the one that started it with your response post to the OP....a picture of a twitter comment with no discussion points made by you. So, I tried to respond to the posted twitter comment, and you play "I'm a big douche" card calling me pedantic for actually quoting a source and asking a valid question.

BTW, I didn't make that MEME, I searched google for RadicalDude, and that's what came up. My feelings aren't hurt; need a hug bro?

Very valid points - I referenced those three specific agencies since they were from Mark Kelly's original tweet.

I would be OK with giving him the credit for this it he took responsibility for any negative thing of equal caliber. Can you name one?

I'm not sure that's actually how it works - especially in politics.

As a voter, you can choose to give him "credit" for whatever you'd like, good or bad. Yet, your choice - or the President's - has no bearing on what he ACTUALLY gets credit for. The buck stops with him, whether publicized or not.

No politician has to publicly take responsibility for anything they do poorly - it doesnt change that fact that they did it poorly.

Nor does them not taking credit for doing things poorly negate the credit they should objectively get for positive things on their watch.
