Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It really is his response to everything...
To many people trying to fly? We'll make sure it's too big of a hassle for people to buy tickets!
Like imagine you're career TSA and can't get paid, to help your boss sends you unqualified people who don't know what they're doing to get paid to get in the way of you doing your job...
The only explanation is he wants TSA to quit and sign up as ICE so they get paid. And those contracts are fucked. The 50k has to be paid back pre-tax meaning if you don't have that job in five yeats, you owe them more than you got for the bonus.
Only an idiot would sign that shit.
TBF, fuck the TSA agents too. They are also a jobs program and a result of pork from usapatriot. The terrorists won.
Reminds me of when the national guard was deployed during a postal strike back in the 80s(?) and apparently they didn't know their ass from their face. Mind you that far less aggressively stupid compared to ICE but it does show that there is no such thing as unskilled labor.
Isn't that the demographic they are going for, though?
Just like the spammers who deliberately put bad grammar and spelling in their emails, they know the people who will click in spite of the obvious red flags are easy marks and can be fleeced for more before carrying on to the scam.
