Those 7 airports are the only ones I’d consider going to. Why bother with the rest.
For context, there are just over 500 commercial airports in the US.
Nearly three dozen …. Including the 10 busiest …. Affecting 1/3 of us air travelers ……
Did this story change after being posted or is the headline way downplaying this?
This was posted 2 days ago. Of course things have changed.
tbh I could also easily see a ton more not playing it but opting not to publicize the fact that they aren’t playing it (ignored media request for comment).
That and not all airports even have TVs setup by the TSA checkpoint, or they’re hardly used.
While those airports would be willing to Broadcast Videos Blaming Republicans For Shutdown.
I know koalas are sleepy bastards, but at least try reading the article. They aren’t showing the video due to policies that forbid advertising that names any particular political party. They aren’t taking a moral stand, they’re just following normal boring guidelines.
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.
The day I saw you could pay to get expressed through the TSA lines was the day it became 100% apparent it was nothing more than a grifting scheme.
What the actual fuck man. We are turning into north Korea. Love the state obey the state praise supreme leader
We are turning into north Korea.
Conservatives have been pushing to turn America into NK/Russia for a long time now. Looks like they’re finally getting their wish, courtesy of stupid American voters/non-voters.
Or courtesy of election rigging, depending on who you believe.
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.
Turns out all the people in positions of power who swore an oath to protect our nation are feckless cowards.
The people are going to have to do this or it isn’t happening.
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.
That is a mental illness. These people have a serious hoarding disorder, and they can’t stop accumulating money. They have enough money that neither they, nor their descendants for the next century could possibly spend it all, and yet they will still walk through fire, or hire someone else to, to get even more.
If those people hoarded cats, or rusty cars, or newspapers, or general junk, we would get mental health care for them, and dismantle their collection. Psychopathic Oligarchs are no different. We should involuntarily commit them to mental hospitals to treat their hoarding issues, confiscate the bulk of their treasure, and keep them from rebuilding their fortunes.
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.
Honestly a trash generation.
I don’t say that lightly, because they exist in my personal life. But as a whole, it’s a fucking garbage generation of humans. Utterly shameful.
This is the part that burns me the most. All this, for a handful of years to sit atop the ashes.
this should really fall on the courts to enforce the hatch act & give laws governing officials more teeth… this is insane 1984 level shit
You mean the courts controlled by Reps?
Courts shouldn’t be political. The status is not quo.
It shouldn’t, but these fuckers have shown they got people everywhere. Wouldn’t be surprised that when the time comes they’ll show their true colors.
The fucking Maggats are like a clown version of the NAZIs, trying to ape their practices whilst being total incompetent klutzes at doing it.
It would be hilarious if america wasn’t fucking stupid enough to fall for it. Every. Damn. Time.
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?
There really isn’t any opposition to the GOP anymore. Just variations of complicity.
It should be all of them. Get that fascist propaganda out of here.
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
The video isn’t for us.
It’s for their followers.
“Don’t broadcast bad breath…”
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.
Huge if the democrats go back to the white house: it’s time to reconciliation, time to leave the past past and to heal wounds * do nothing *
Whatever happened to the fucking Hatch Act?
Probably floating in some plastic container in the ocean with the rest of the rule of laws they threw out.
