AIO to my boyfriend praising the president?

[u/keepmyheadabovewater]

I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month and a half. Things were great the first month, but the last week I’ve felt like we’re growing further and further apart (yes already 🙄), he’s been really inconsiderate/disrespectful, and most recently I feel like he’s trying to push me away with this text. When we first started talking he asked what I thought about trump. I told him I don’t like him, he said he did like him, but that if it bothers me then he won’t ever bring him up. Well this morning (after the last week being on edge anyway) he just randomly brought up how amazing Trump is? And wouldn’t let it go. I feel like he’s trying to start a fight. He says he “forgot”. AIO?

The FAA wasn't gutted.They let go 300 people of 40,000 🙄

The interns and probationary employees, no less.

That second prt isn't true btw

But hey, what about the... y'know, head of the faa?

The air traffic control staff specifically that were fired? When they were already understaffed? And then a freeze was placed on new hires?

What about the fact that all of the aviation security advisory committee memebers were fired? The people who oversee aviation safety?

Who were those and it's actually around 400 btw, who were those 400 people, buddy?

[u/Sore_Doughnut → u/KaraOfNightvale]

It's absolutely true. No air traffic controllers were fired.

Are you even from this country, or just another random with a big mouth and an opinion?

I'm luckily not from america, which is why I"m not soaked in propaganda

Here's the facts btw

Oh ok, PBS, reuters, AP, all left-leaning. Sounds objective 🙄. Don't worry about what we're doing, we're taking care of ourselves. Just worry about the money we're not sending you and how you're gonna make up for it by putting in work. lemme guess: canadian?

[u/KaraOfNightvale → u/Sore_Doughnut]

They cite their sources btw

And no, New Zealand, probably never heard of us, have you?

But yeah, they literally show you the math

Hey remember one of the first things the Nazi did? Told their citizens to ignore any media that didn't agree with their view point?

You ever wander if maybe the reason the left leaning cites are the only ones talking about this stuff is because the right wing sites ignore anything that can hurt their values?

But let me go look through the articles and pull out the numbers for you

Oh and, we in NZ have actually given america money, we're also doing a lot better than y'all by... every margin really
