    telling travelers “Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government” and claiming that is why “most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”

    Honestly the TSA shouldn’t exist, it’s a graft and corruption scheme created by the Bush Jr administration so guys like Michael Chertoff could steal taxpayer money.

    They can’t even perform their stated functions, there have been numerous instances of them failing to detect firearms and bomb parts during tests, they fail the majority by a wide margin.

    It’s a “make-work” program. Those people should be building hospitals in rural communities, fixing roads and bridges. At least that would have a return on investment.

    Well as long as its at least 7.

    My only solace is that the boomers waited till they were so fucking old to try to stop the world from changing through fascism.

    Hitler shot himself at 56 and had spent a lot of his 30-40s trying to gain power. A lot of the current generation of fascists are a light jog away or botched botox from their death. But fuck this.

    How many laws do they need to break in order for something to actually be done? They are clearly mentally ill and none of them are based in reality, so we need to get them out of office.

    None of this is ok and none of this is normal.

      They are not mentally ill, they would gladly twist a toddler’s neck for a couple bucks. And that’s been rewarded in America for centuries.

        Well, on the upside America might actually survive the Trump regime purelly because of how, even with a fucking master plan seemingly made by smarter people, they’re horribly inept at making it work, mainly because everybody in that Administration has been chosen based on loyalty or looks and not at all on demonstrated execution abilities.

        Imagine if instead of a gaggle of morons, that Administration was instead made up of competent people with domain-applicable experience.

    “This is probably not a Hatch Act violation, because it’s not tied to an election,” Cynthia Brown, senior ethics counsel at the non-partisan ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), told Forbes.

    Not tied to an election? What? What rock are you living under?

    Good god, the morons in office right now are so fucking stupid. They have to make videos to put out and blame the left for all the dumb shit they do. They did it! They did it! Despite having the minority in all branches of the gov, it’s totally them.

    Fuck off fascists

      Same as the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust acts, which is a big reason why we’re here now. So, so much of corporate America is patently illegal, and the feds have done fuck-all about it for decades.

      It looks like they have capitulated, for now. It wouldn’t hurt to contact your local airport to object, and to organize peaceful demonstrations.

      The airports that refuse to bend the knee have also released public statements condemning the video. Let’s show them our support! They are:

      Portland International

      Seattle-Tacoma International

      Buffalo Niagara International

      Niagara Falls International

      Westchester County

        Spokane international is on the list as well which is a little surprising as that is an area that favors Republicans in elections.

            Glad to hear Denver isn’t doing it. It’s bad enough that these evil pieces of shit are pushing government propaganda, but there is no reason that major airports in blue states should go along with it.

                Same thing. I hope it stays blue. I know a few Taco-lovers that moved out of state because of all the “wokeness”. Pretty fucking weird reason to be moving, if you ask me.

    I’d love to see a real instance of “The Storm” if Democrats were to get back in the WH…issue warrants for every single one of those responsible for shit like this.

    Arrest every single one of those in his cabinet. Arrest everyone in his family.

    I know the pearl-clutching “centrists” will cry about “tone” and “civility” and how this is only going to make Republicans worse. Fuck that. Make Republicans motherfucking SCARED to try this kind of shit again. As they should be.
