re: TSA Govt Shutdown 2: Electric Boogaloo

Posted by Lsut81 on 3/27/26 at 4:31 am to
Senate voted unanimously to re-open the govt last night. Now its on the House to do so today.

Looks like Thursday was the day as I mentioned on Monday.

If I was a GOP Congressman I would vote against it until they pass the SAFE Act.


Why, just like the Dems and trying to put restrictions on ICE agents as part of the funding Bill when ICE is already funded via the BBB, the SAVE act has nothing to do with it.

Hypocrites gonna hypocrite though

Lets just say the ovvious, politicians are the scum of the earth. I can't think of a single person in either House that isn't.

To pass for a bill for funding Homeland Security/TSA? Can’t it be used for budget related items and only requires a simple majority.


I honestly don't know... And if it can't be used now, why can it be used under the "negotiated" deal that the Repubs had on Sunday.

They were going to pass everything except ICE and then use reconciliation for that later on so no D's had to vote for it.
Honestly don't care who comedians make fun of, but it needs to be funny... That wasn't at all.

Yes, a lot of hardcore right conservative women can be cringe, but again, that wasn't funny.


Southpark making fun of JD as Tattoo or Kristy shooting dogs, now that was funny.. The Trump stuff, not so much.

Looks like they are changing power settings for Quali.

Also, Merc is on the defensive after their front wing is getting heavily scrutinized. Russel says "they are just trying to slow us down" :lol:

Well duh

Vote failed again yesterday.


Yup, sounds like there was an agreement behind the scenes and then the D's renegged on it.

Would have funded everything except ICE then the R's would have used reconciliation to fund it, so the Dems could say they didn't vote for it.

Think the R's fricked up in running out and bragging about it and bringing more light to it, forcing the D's to vote no to make their constituents happy.
quote:

To that, all DT does is fricking lie. Constantly.


I wouldn't call it lying, as the Dems do... He embelishes everything, which is quite annoying.

Like yesterday, he claimed bc of ICE agents at the airport that a line went from 4hrs down to 30 min :rolleyes:

Did the ICE agents make a difference, potentially as TSA was able to focus on the security aspect, but they aren't the reason the line went down, if it even did. It was less travelers and/or less callouts from TSA.

Yeah, that looks like shite, but guess we will see.

I thought the Iranians response rejecting the points and giving their 5 demands proved his team was talking with someone :dunno:

Seeing he will arrive in time for FP1 now... Had the baby and hit the road.

I guess what I was seeing was prior to the baby officially arriving and him potentially missing if delayed.
Alonso is out for the Japan with family emergency.


Feel sorry for whomever they are putting in the car. At least he has gotten used to the shitiness over time and built up a tolerance. That person is F'd.
Sounds like the "agreement" they had has fallen through and Schumer and his ilk keep moving the goal posts.
quote:

There's been something like 5 votes to date. All failed


Yes, before the deal was reached that they are touting... Vote will be Thursday.

ICE pay is pulled out and will be pushed through via reconciliation.

Iranian official said "we received points from the U.S. through mediators…


So was Trump full of shite when he said they had agreed on points?

Or is Baghdad Iranian Bob shifting talking points between "we haven't had any discussions" to "we have received talking points"


:dunno:

I am seriously considering moving my flight to BR next Tuesday. I’ve never flown out of BR.


Sounds like there is likely a vote on Thursday to pay them. I said this week would be make or break week and its looking that way.

I'd bet TSA is funded by next week, it will just depend on how quickly the workers show up.
Karoline should play this in front of the WH press pool today and everyday during the shutdown. Trump should have a presser from the WH in primetime and play this.

Ram it down the publics throats and show them who the D's really care about.
Going to see just how bad it can get at Bush today.... Only E and A Security is open. No Pre or Clear available :casty:
