    The very evil Dems have forced TSA agents into the following situations. How bleeping pathetic can the Dems be?

    TSA workers struggling financially who have been working unpaid amid the latest government shutdown are being evicted from their homes and forced to sleep in their cars, acting TSA Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill testified Wednesday.

    “Many in our workforce have missed bill payments, received eviction notices, had their cars
    repossessed and utilities shut off, lost their child care, defaulted on loans, damaged
    their credit line, and drained their retirement savings,” McNeill told the House Homeland Security Committee.

    The Rubin Report on X: "?? BREAKING NEWS: TSA officers reportedly sleeping in their cars, selling blood and plasma, and picking up second jobs as they struggle financially amid the ongoing DHS shutdown. Congress, pay them what they're owed. https://t.co/2paITSCx8Z" / X

    It's not Elon 's responsibility to pay the salaries of government workers. Give me a break!

    There's no limit to the pain they're willing to inflict on TSA workers and the flying public, SUNDANCE .  It's crystal clear these sick people care more about illegal aliens than the citizens of this country  !

    @Rush51

     Actually you two are the cause of this crap Rush, not those evil nasty DEMS...if you and your pal sundance got on the horn to your elected TNC official and told them to vote for the TSA funding you gotta think since you two are such stalwart TNC fans they would do so and then POOF this is all done and you can return to blaming brown skin people for all the crime and the woes in your life.

    Take responsibility for your party and your partisan hate Rush...Trump does not want to fund the TSA because those opportunities are here and your side is refusing.

     Here's a classic from hakeem.....a perfect example of the hypocrisy we see from elected officials on the left:

      

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., once said that failing to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was "legislative malpractice" — a position he is now rejecting in the current funding standoff with Republicans.

    "We are here today to do a single job, and that should be to fund fully the Department of Homeland Security," Jeffries said during a 2015 speech on the House floor. Jeffries, near the start of his congressional career, urged the Republican-controlled House to pass a "clean" DHS bill that year when the department was on the brink of a partial government shutdown.

     "Anything else is an abdication of our responsibility. Anything else is an act of legislative malpractice," Jeffries said at the time, referring to providing full-year appropriations to the department.

      A decade later, Jeffries has reversed that position, arguing that fully funding DHS would be a failure of Congress. He and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have withheld their votes on a full-year DHS funding bill as they demand various reforms to rein in immigration enforcement. The 39-day funding standoff has snarled air travel across the country as passengers face hours-long wait times at airport security checkpoints due to a shortage of TSA workers. Tens of thousands of DHS employees — including TSA agents — are reporting to work without pay during the shutdown, leading some to call off work or quit altogether.

    yeah, DEMS have fully supported the infiltration of illegal aliens to obscene levels, and any effort to remove said illegal aliens is met w fierce resistance. 

    It's quite plain for everyone to see.  Those that can't see this obvious point are clearly the DEMS ..... like you, Wall.

    TSA union officials say arrival of ICE agents failed to reduce long lines of passengers at airports.  Undercutting Trump administration reason for deploying ICE agents.  Problem is ICE agents lack skills to do the job required of TSA agents.  They need months of certified training before screening passengers at checkpoints.  Furthermore, Trump tells ICE agents not to wear masks at airports which prove there is really no legitimate threat against ICE agents in public.  Police and other law enforcement officers often work without masks.

    @THEMUGG

    You cannot reason someone away from something when reason is not what took them there in the first place.

    So, all they have left is emotions and narratives. So, they have to double down on those.

    Even Haidt said years ago that we often feel first, then justify with reason afterward.  He is mostly correct I think.

    But a lot of folks seem to even skip the last part because it is not supported by their presupposition(s).

    In other words, folks will turn into a lawyer that attempts to defend a faulty position; instead of being a judge and naturally evaluating it.

    @Raiders22

     This is human nature and nobody is above base neural pathways no matter what political party they belong to. It is like you are saying if a ball is flying at your face then you will react to that potential event even if the event does not unfold the way your mind thinks it might.

    The problem with your approach is you speak down to those who disagree with you by debasing them in messages like the above where you are implying that those who have an opposing position are so lost that they do as you suggested when in reality they have a position different than yours, nothing more and nothing less.

    If you want to try and disparage someone and talk down as you are then you better be sure you are not just as complicit as those you are insulting and being a condescending elitist to.

     This is human nature and nobody is above base neural pathways no matter what political party they belong to. It is like you are saying if a ball is flying at your face then you will react to that potential event even if the event does not unfold the way your mind thinks it might.

    The problem with your approach is you speak down to those who disagree with you by debasing them in messages like the above where you are implying that those who have an opposing position are so lost that they do as you suggested when in reality they have a position different than yours, nothing more and nothing less.

    If you want to try and disparage someone and talk down as you are then you better be sure you are not just as complicit as those you are insulting and being a condescending elitist to.
