Sympathy for Gov't Workers Hits GOP

Regulations on airport security could simply have been tightened for domestic flights.

Secure the cockpit cabins to deny even "armed" passengers the abliity to pilot the aircraft.
 
If they don't have any savings then their idiots that shouldn't be working for the government to begin with. :/

But that aside, the last time the government shut down the government got sued and had to pay out, iirc, twice the amount owed in back pay. That is happening again, and I have no problem with it, and it should cover any interest accrued from their CC's.

even if they do have savings, spending without income is unsustainable. mortgage, phone, electric, childcare, people's bills just to live can be 1500-2000 a month.
 
Right we all just go through security checks for no reason whatsoever....

For airline safety, not border security. They are fundamentally entirely different concepts.

So last year Trump banned a bunch of Muslims from traveling through our airports because he was concerned about the airlines??????????????

Are the hysterics necessary?

That's not what he did, and what he did has nothing to do with the TSA anyway.

This is one of those things that, if you're wise, you'll acknowledge that you've got it wrong (very wrong), and move on.

Good. You admit you have no idea what you're talking about.

Not to nitpick and all but, it's who who is the idiot? What does someone's ability to save have to do withg working for the government? What if they're paying their student loans? A new hire? All of this for your useless monument to your heroes ego, it's not a crisis, you fearing a changing demograpic. News flash, even if you could stop illegal immigration (we actually are losing more back to Mexico than are coming, another convenient FACT your side LOVES to lie about), the demographic "browning" would not be stopped, so hold on to that terror, it's ineviitable and short of "ethnic cleansing", there is NOT A DAMN THING you can do to stop it.
 
Five GOPers are currently calling for end to gov't shutdown:
Collins
Tillis
Alexander
Gardner
Roberts

These people work for the gov't and they spend most of their time surrounded by gov't people. TSA workers are leaving their jobs, Parks are filling with garbage, refund checks will be affected. Will the shutdown remind conservatives why the gov't is important???

So has Roberts definitely commented along the lines of the other 4? If that is the case that is getting to be a good deal of pressure on McConnell now.

The shutdown could end easily but that won't happen until Trump gets his border funds so no deal.

You're fool is gonna get pantsed. He can't negotiate worth a crap, he's a fraud, a phony and will soon get exposed as such, again. Deal with it.

They have secured the doors on all cockpit cabins, and have instituted some rules changes for when a pilot leaves the cockpit in flight.
 
The shutdown should end and government workers need to be paid but the fact that necessary work isn’t being done isn’t an argument that the government needs to do the work instead of contracting it out.

Um, those contracts stop in a shutdown too, dude. Your scenario has even more services shutting down, not less.

Sir, I need to xray your underwear. For freedom.
 
Oh yeah the TSA plays no part in that whatsoever. :roll:

The TSA is fully functioning whereas the southern borders are not fully protected.
Your point?

Yet we still have about 50K federal airport nannies.

Nope.
He'll win this one.
You just wait and see.
 
And why would you think that?

Because no matter what happens, he'll claim a win and his followers will chant the same line.

Yeah they are that stupid aren't they.:lamo

They already think it's "under constrution"!:2rofll:

He will claim a win and the same fools that buy that the new deal with Mexico and Canada is anything more than NAFTA0000000.1 will accept it as such.
 
And why would you think that?

Because the conditions at the border are at crisis level, and it's HIS job to protect the country.

That's complete nonsense that you believe, but you believe Trump was a sucessful businessman, so obviouisly your cognitive functions are sorely lacking.:2rofll:

I bet you believe most of 'murica wants a wall too?:roll:

The Easter bunny? Have mommy and daddy told you the truth about Santa yet?:lamo
