TSA Is essential and is not affected by the shutdown.

Let's be very clear here: the reason the wall hasn't happened is because the REPUBLICANS know it's stupid, and thus don't want to trade anything of value for it.

At some point, low-paid federal employees (like TSA) will be a choke point at a place that will cause a major pain in the arse to a lot of Americans.

This wall really is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Talk about a "solution" in search of an actual problem.

This thing is going to go geometric in a hurry, so strap in. I can't believe Trump is willing to tie his entire fortunes to something so asinine.

If he caves he’s toast anyway. It really would be his read my lips moment. That’s why they don’t wanna give it to him.

I don't think that's right. Perhaps outwardly the Dems are playing a hardline, but internally, I'd be shocked if they weren't offering to trade all kinds of things...because they know they would receive actual value in exchange for literally nothing (even if it got to the point of moving forward, the lawsuits will take years.)

Yeah, that's just posturing. It's just politics to call it "immoral". But it is titanically silly.

What is Trump's plan when TSA shuts down and thus almost all air travel nationwide?


So what .

Congress has had over 30 years to do something since Reagan granted amnesty.

It's time to suffer the consequences of their laziness.

You're probably legally retarded then. The wall is more stupid than the Iran deal?

He should just declare victory and have his loyal media declare that we're getting wall*. Then we can all just move on.

You think the TSA is doing a good job now?

Also, how did we survive pre-TSA?

It is moronic undertaking. It is not immoral.

I'm far more in favor of cutting Congress pay until an agreement is derived. Make them work without pay until it's done.

You are pretending they want to actually solve a problem.

They would much rather something like DACA stay in limbo. It’s a great campaign issue. And Trump cucked for four years on his core promise will be a hard sell back to his supporters.

No the liberal base is just as invested in no wall as the conservative base is in getting one, if for no other reason than to give Trump the middle finger.

This is already been true for decades, particularly post 9/11.

I mean, is it, really? Stupider than "Medicare for all"? HRC as the Democrat nominee? "Open borders"?
