We were told the media is making up the fact TSA workers aren't showing up -- hmmm...wonder who is really lying.

"Collateral efforts"? What does that term even mean?

"Cloven hooves"? Hellfire and brimstone.

I'm hoping McConnell will grow a pair and bring the bills that have been proposed by the House to the Senate for a vote and get the government back open. It's time to circumvent the crazy one.

I don't know why he doesn't. Unless he's afraid they may pass?

It doesn't matter if McConnell has a pair or not; Trump has them in his pocket anyway,

That is exactly the reason he isn't letting it get to a floor vote.

I really wonder. He's crawled under a rock and is out of the picture. Don't you think if more Republicans in the Senate and House cared we would hear from them and see them.

This really has become a Trump vs. THEM (anyone that doesn't support the wall -- yes Trump says Dems but obviously not just Dems).

This is unskilled labor, many absent TSA agents are likely working elsewhere.

...Talk about an actual state of emergency...


Trump's causing it.


....
I've no support, sympathy, or empathy for any Trump supporter who refuses to perceive Trump as a problem child.
