    Default The partial government shutdown is starting to strain the national aviation system

    MAGA


    with unpaid security screeners staying home, air-traffic controllers suing the government and safety inspectors off the job.

    Miami International Airport is providing the most visible evidence yet that the shutdown is at least making air travel less convenient.

    Facing double the usual number of absences among unpaid TSA screeners, the Miami airport will close one of its concourses most of Saturday, Sunday and Monday to make sure TSA can adequately staff the remaining security checkpoints.

    Meanwhile, the national union representing air traffic controllers — who are also working without pay during the shutdown, entering its 22nd day Saturday — sued the government, claiming they are illegally being denied pay.

    And aviation-safety inspectors are still off the job, deemed not to be essential enough to keep working during the shutdown.

    — Golda Meir

    Both sides need to be thrown out for failing to do their jobs. This is like paying contractors by the hour to argue about the work they should be doing. Get the shit done, you fucking assholes!

    Only the fucking morons of the right think that way. If it were so easy...why wasn't that done when the Republicans had total control of government...and and Chuck and Nancy had almost no power?

    Trump supporters are a disgusting, ignorant lot...but they are fun, because they are so willing to shout to the world that they are part of a group who are both disgusting and ignorant.

    Ya gotta love 'em for that.

    The wall is about Trump's ego NOT a practical solution. Trump wants to "win" not fix immigration.

    Ok Trump is insane over this wall issue. So why not just give him what he wants and refund government? Seems to me that Nanny Poo Poo and Schumer share as much of the guilt as Trump.


    This has never been about border security it's all about political power no matter who gets hurt.

    Trump made is clear he had to have his wall before any discussion and a wall is NOT the best solution.

    You can negotiate anything with a liar or based on lies.

    Because we are a republic NOT a dictatorship and Trump is not a king. He's LIED about ALL the immigration data.

    Trump is taking hostages.. Do you understand what that means?

    Every single US-Mexico border crossing is already covered with checkpoints and inspections.

    Are you going to believe Trump or the Dept of Homeland Security, the DEA, Border Patrol and US Customs and Immigration? They all say Trump is a liar.
