These Democrats are furious about this because they want to continue to hold our entire country hostage. Despicable behavior.

And folks need to remember shite like this when they accuse Elon of being one of the bad guys. He is a great person.

Pretty sure he fronted military salaries during the last shutdown.


I would be willing to bet POTUS has the ability to make this happen.

He knows that. Doesn’t mean he can’t offer. It’s amazing that you are a shite head like the rest of your democrat brethren that are so ate up with TDS that they would compromise the safety of millions of Americans to try to score political points. It’s a fricking disgrace.

With the name of the law, it should apply to your posts...

Gee, wonder who is going through down-voting posts critical of RFK???

RFK is FOS. The Act does not say that at all.

Libs: "Tax the rich! They never pay for anything!"

Elon: "I will pay for TSA."

Libs: "You can't, it's against the law."

Is this a loan or free money?

It's not like they won't get paid eventually. If you work for the govt you need to have a nest egg that covers at least 6 months of pay. No sympathy when you know this is a possibility.

When something can't be done, first you have to make an offer, and then those that can will try to make it possible. You can't make something like that possible unless someone first makes an offer. Will it happen? Maybe not, but that doesn't mean he's just making an empty gesture.

Bc of the line of work, they cannot accept outside $$$ due to security. They can't accept tips or anything. Those that wanted to help them were asked to donate snacks and the likes to the airport and it was put in their break rooms.


And they sure as hell can't accept them from a foreign national.

He could form a non profit and have affected employees apply for grants.

I know this is a common refrain, but prior to the Afghanistan withdrawal, there were still at least two very well-funded terror groups who were hellbent on bringing down US commercial aircraft, one in Afghanistan/Pakistan and one in Africa. The US was receiving info on active planning and a steady intelligence stream on their efforts. There was a hot second in 2017 where there was serious consideration to banning any/all electronics larger than a watch in the cabin. After the Afghan withdrawal, the US lost a lot of the incoming intelligence streams on their efforts...or at least lost the ability to receive them with much consistency.

Regardless, it's hard to imagine that those dudes just gave up and moved on to something else.
