The civility campaign

The U.S. Department of Transportation has launched a civility campaign for air travelers - The Golden Age of Travel Starts with You. Our unqualified U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, formerly a Fox Network host and MTV reality television star, condescendingly lectures us about manners and respect in a Public Service Announcement for the DOT civility campaign.

Promoting the campaign on Fox News, Secretary Duffy said, “We’ve asked Americans to bring their better selves — to bring civility back to travel.” There is no “better” self for our increasingly uncivil president to bring to travel. On a recent flight on Air Force One, the Republican standard bearer, angered by a female reporter’s question regarding the Epstein files, poked his finger at her and snapped, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.” Having overused dog, vermin, scum and low IQ as his standard insults, President Trump has added piggy, ugly, terrible, stupid and nasty to his repertoire to hurl at female journalists.

Two suggestions for Secretary of Transportation Duffy:

1.Focus on vitally important transportation issues, like the urgent need for more air traffic controllers

2.Forward your civility campaign PSA to your boss
