President Trump said he would deploy the National Guard to assist Transportation Security Administration staff at airports if the ICE agents that began working security lines on Monday could not alleviate delays.
It really is his response to everything…
To many people trying to fly? We’ll make sure it’s too big of a hassle for people to buy tickets!
Like imagine you’re career TSA and can’t get paid, to help your boss sends you unqualified people who don’t know what they’re doing to get paid to get in the way of you doing your job…
The only explanation is he wants TSA to quit and sign up as ICE so they get paid. And those contracts are fucked. The 50k has to be paid back pre-tax meaning if you don’t have that job in five yeats, you owe them more than you got for the bonus.
Only an idiot would sign that shit.
TBF, fuck the TSA agents too. They are also a jobs program and a result of pork from usapatriot. The terrorists won.
Reminds me of when the national guard was deployed during a postal strike back in the 80s(?) and apparently they didn’t know their ass from their face. Mind you that far less aggressively stupid compared to ICE but it does show that there is no such thing as unskilled labor.
Only an idiot would sign that shit.
Isn’t that the demographic they are going for, though?
Just like the spammers who deliberately put bad grammar and spelling in their emails, they know the people who will click in spite of the obvious red flags are easy marks and can be fleeced for more before carrying on to the scam.
Boycott air travel? Double benefit for climate and ICE. I would love to see 1/month as a no-air day. Better if airlines would do it as a strike, no more service until ICE is defined. While I’m dreaming.
This won’t end well.
Will it end?
Everything ends one way or another. Eventually the sun will swallow the earth and none of this will matter
Good point. We can only hope.
