If they could start with the illegal TSA that started after 9/11 then, you know what, I’m actually ok with this one.
Monkey’s Paw curls
It now takes ten hours to get through airport security unless you give Musk a DNA sample.
How the fuck hasn’t the TSA stopped sexually assaulting people yet? Wild that you need to either have a naked picture taken of you by the government or get felt up by the government.
They can’t keep shivs out of prison, and they look in your arse in prison. Give it up. We’ve got the locks on the cockpit doors.
It's kinda like rehab being one of the easiest places to score drugs.
This doesn't make any sense. How is a lock on a cockpit going to oppress people? Think before you type.
I downvoted at first but then I rubbed the brain cells together
It's hard out here
( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)
Hard in yer asshole
Sometimes yeah
One of the things I’ve learned is that folks struggle with satire that is ironic or bitter rather than outright foolish. It’s like there’s a blind spot for ironic double speak.
It’s about 60/40 on whether someone is going to come along, miss the subtext, and lead a charge against your tone without actually giving your words a second thought or whether someone is going to offer support for or explain your statement.
Once that first response casts the die, you’re just along for the ride. No one else can see any perspective but that first interpretation.
A+, though. I see you.
Funny and sardonic.
Lol thanks homie. I refuse to add an /s or highlight that it's a joke because that's just comedy suicide.
Good looking out.
Are you illiterate? Dudes saying we dont need TSA theater bullshit because there are proper locks on the cockpit door.
Issa joke, we need the TSA because the locks cannot oppress people, like I wrote in my very legible comment
Just gonna check ya asshole
You’re not yourself when you’re hungry.
I wanted DHS to go away but not like this
This week, the three sources told NBC News, career employees at high managerial levels, namely Senior Executive Service and General Schedule 15 employees, may be removed from agencies across DHS — not to reduce the size of the workforce but to remove employees whom the administration sees as potentially standing in the way of goals the Trump administration has for the agency.
In case you’re wondering, they aren’t firing the DHS agents looking at dick pics and reading private messages. It’s the ones pushing back against that.
Between Tulsi and this, Russia can't stop salivating
Trump is actually delivering what his voters expected, run the country like CEO, firing VPs and managers who he doesn’t like and hire those who will do what to be told.
This speaks to fundamental a lack of imagination of American society, rich CEO is the only model for American dream.
Success of capitalism taking over every corner of the society is probably the main reason. also the short history is another reason, as once you have a few bloody cycles of dynasties and folk lore about bad kings and deeper variety of inspirational characters, the society will be more resilient.
Just a completely normal thing to do folks, nothing to see here.
The security of our nation is a conflict of interest for the leadership is it not?
Good. DHS and especially TSA has been nothing but pork barrel politics since inception.
targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies
He is firing all the people telling him "No, you can't hold people in camps"
I'm not a big fan of either agency, but he is getting rid of anyone preventing him from doing more evil shit.
