Radar screens at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport went black again early Friday morning.

The outage happened at 3:55 a.m. and lasted about 90 seconds, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

Air traffic controllers could be heard telling a FedEx plane that their screens went dark and then asking the aircraft to tell their company to put pressure on to get the problem fixed.

      In the early days of the regime, the federal government fired thousands of ATCs. I’m talking of course about Regan.

      MAGA did not fall out of a coconut tree.

      It has been in a bad state for a while, but they sure aren’t helping anything.

      While I hate Trump as much as the next guy, this has been brewing for literal decades. And of course Trump is making a serious catastrophe worse too.
