Duffy held a press conference Monday afternoon, after the FAA imposed the latest of several recent ground delays at EWR. The FAA said they had been "slowing arrivals and departures" there "due to runway construction at Newark and staffing and technology issues at Philadelphia TRACON, which guides aircraft in and out of the airport."

Duffy noted that it was the Biden administration that moved the TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities) from New York to Philadelphia, and said he was calling for an Office of the Inspector General investigation into this and other decisions.

However:

WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it will relocate control of the Newark, New Jersey, airspace area to Philadelphia to address staffing issues and congested traffic in the New York City area. The announcement comes ahead of what could be a record summer travel season. Airlines this week forecast record travel this spring.

The move happened under the Trump administration. Either they were too inept to stop it or chose to let it happen in order to blame the Biden admin. That said, EWR is a mess even on a good day, so short staffing and runway construction would have been nasty to begin with.

That's pure bullshit. These assholes will blame Biden for when Trump shits his pants.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Look its not difficult to understand okay. When the sun rises, that is God himself remembering that Donald J. Trump is our ~~God King for life~~ president and blessing us for it, and when it sets at night it is because Hillaries e-mails that are stored on Hunter's laptop by the Demoncrats radiate so much nascent evil that it temporarily forces the sun from the sky. This "rotation" stuff is all fake news.

It's just like Harry Truman said, "The buck stops... over there.... with that other guy."

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Nah the bucks still stop thee, just not accountability.

San Andreas fault to be renamed Biden s fault.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

No, they'll continue to blame that on that vicious San Andreas gang. Pretty soon they will asserted that the gang is causing havoc all over California, literally ripping their cities in half....

you can't make massive cuts that caused giant issues and then turn around and blame the last guy and expect anybody to believe you

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

And yet, they do believe him.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

Man these fuckers are lazy. We apply some over over over simplified rules on the entire economy bect were too lazy to think hard and come up with a comprehensive solution. The economy then predictably crashes so we just say ~~simpsons~~ Biden did it!

It's literally that with everything that is going on. Dumb fuck does stoopid, when consequences come fast, just say Biden did it.

These fuckers are so extremely lazy it's just sad

I flew to and from Newark thrice between 2020 and 2024. It was shit. But that’s because it was Newark. Not because of Biden.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Thanks, Obama
