From the behavior of most politicians I take them to be detached from reality.

Point taken, but that detachment comes from an oversized ego and feeling of invulnerability, alongside an unhealthy dose of not giving a fuck about the common man. The media is their attempt to shape reality, not what they use to determine their own view of it.

It may seem insignificant in the grand scheme but the first President that dismantles the TSA will be the true harbinger of a genuine return to normalcy. And the end of bloated jobs programs for the undeserving. In other news, I trained my own replacement (VR AI) and my company emailed everyone July 20 at 2:15 pm telling us all to check our email later that day for a possible termination notice. Hundreds (eta: 620 and counting-just checked the subreddit) let go, just poof. Take $1k now (lol) and put in your 2 weeks or stay until September and collect UI. Chop chop date is September 30. Luckily not me (yet.) Didn't matter if you were there 10+ years, or where you were on the totem pole.

The company is for profit serving the handicapped, but is funded by the government. I'm (apparently soon to be) unnecessary but Shanequa patting me down is a vital service? Go figure.

Preaching to the choir here, brother. But the Powers that Be have to maintain the Security Theatre. How many retards would refuse to fly despite private security being an order of magnitude better statistically *and* less intrusive? The TSA's absolutely staggering incompetence in weapons and explosive detection borders on the absurd. It is only via the equally astounding incompetence of your average high-jacker/terrorist that we don't have more planes go down.

But hey, at least we've put the jackboot down on cheese smugglers and put an end to the evils of traveling with normal sized containers.

They're treated like shit and as disposable (technically true given their status as bodyguards) help by everyone in the White House. One doesn't put effort into subverting the useless trash, only the useful trash. So Trump comes along, treats them as human beings doing a stressful job, and that buys loyalty for life. They did start to subvert the Secret Service in response to what was happening under Trump, but those people got caught quick as ringers and backstabbers.

That makes sense. So they were far too slow in trying to subvert the institution, and they hardened it.

Why hasn't a mass shooter taken out a tsa line yet? You'd get a high score before the security team could draw.

@Gehenna at this point what do you think the likelyhood is they are going to pull a new variant out of their magic hat and try to get lockdowns in again just in time for Fall Midterms? 🤔

Also with your theory that Brandon has hit a brick wall in terms of his medicine not working, is it more likely he will get 25’thd or will he expire in office?

Not him, but outside of the really blue areas, I doubt it because of the economic hit. Also, many places are already making plans to keep 2020 procedures from happening again.

My money’s on expiration because the government and their supporters can spin it any way they want.

Roberts. Vote. Doesn't. Matter.

We have 6 Republican justices. Please stop and think what that means.

That expansion will be the windmill the far left chases until Thomas and Roberts and the Trump appointees die or retire. Preferably the former in their eyes.

Coronavirus is over, they’ve cried wolf too many times. The vast majority of America will not lock down. Governors will refuse to enforce it, police will refuse to enforce it, business owners will refuse to enforce it… there is simply no public will to keep the facade going outside of maybe blue shitholes, and even there they’re having trouble getting people to care anymore.

Sheila Jackson is one hell of a black sheboon niggress cunt all rolled up in one, and would fit well in California as she sounds more bitter than a lot of gun hating Californian politicians.


Also Melania Trump talking about January 6th as well.

Melania Trump says she was 'fulfilling' official duties as first lady on Jan. 6: 'I always condemn violence' (Archive)

EXCLUSIVE: Former first lady Melania Trump said Thursday that she was "fulfilling" her official duties as first lady of the U.S. on Jan. 6, 2021, telling Fox News Digital exclusively that had she been fully informed of the events taking place at the Capitol during the day, she "would have immediately denounced the violence."

Trump’s comments come after her former chief of staff Stephanie Grisham has publicly alleged that the former first lady did not immediately sign off on a statement condemning the Capitol riot.

"On January 6, 2021, I was fulfilling one of my duties as First Lady of the United States of America, and accordingly, I was unaware of what was simultaneously transpiring at the U.S. Capitol Building," Trump told Fox News Digital.

"As with all First Ladies who preceded me, it was my obligation to record the contents of the White House’s historic rooms, including taking archival photographs of all the renovations. Several months in advance, I organized a qualified team of photographers, archivists, and designers to work with me in the White House to ensure perfect execution," she continued. "As required, we scheduled January 6, 2021, to complete the work on behalf of our Nation."

The former first lady added that "this is a very significant undertaking and requires great care, attention to detail, and concentration — both in the planning and execution."

Trump went on to say that she has "always been very supportive of my former Chief of Staff, Stephanie Grisham."

"I stood behind Ms. Grisham after her failed stint as White House Press Secretary and welcomed her back to the East Wing," Trump said.

Grisham started her White House tenure in the first lady’s office, and later served as White House press secretary following Sarah Sanders’ departure during the summer of 2019. She returned to the East Wing when Kayleigh McEnany was tapped for the role in April 2020.

"Ms. Grisham was not in the White House on January 6, and her behavior in her role as Chief of Staff ultimately amounts to dereliction of duty," Trump said, noting that "traditionally, the First Lady’s Chief of Staff provides detailed briefings surrounding our Nation’s important issues."

"In fact, Ms. Grisham failed to provide insight and information into the events surrounding January 6 as she had abandoned her post in Washington, D.C.," she continued. "Shamefully, this behavior has only partially become public knowledge; yet was consistent for Ms. Grisham."

Trump added: "It is evident that Grisham’s recent betrayals are a last-ditch attempt to resuscitate her ruined career and reputation."

Grisham last month tweeted out a screenshot of a text message conversation she allegedly had with the former first lady on Jan. 6, 2021.

"Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness & violence?" Grisham purportedly texted Trump.

"No," Trump purportedly replied.

Grisham’s screenshot shows the two text messages occurred with a contact saved as "MT."

Grisham shared the screenshot a day after former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified before the Jan. 6 committee.

"Knowing her as well as I did at that point, it was so unlike her to not have condemned it, that that was the moment it all kind of broke me," Grisham said in an interview last month with CNN. "Yesterday, hearing Cassidy’s testimony, I felt compelled to show that text because it was a lot of context I thought, and again, knowing Melania like I did, I was so disappointed and discouraged and sickened that she wouldn’t stand up and just say simply, ‘There should be no violence.’"

But Trump told Fox News on Thursday: "I always condemn violence."

"Had I been fully informed of all the details, naturally, I would have immediately denounced the violence that occurred at the Capitol Building," Trump said. "And while Ms. Grisham’s behavior is disappointing, it is not surprising or an isolated incident."

She added: "This is not the first time a former staffer has tried to maintain relevancy and profit by using my name to create a false narrative."

Pro-Trump rioters breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, during a joint session of Congress to certify the Electoral College results in favor of President Biden. Several people died in connection with the riot.

The Jan. 6 committee is now holding a series of hearings to attempt to capture Americans’ attention before the November midterm elections — as they compete with inflation, rising gas prices and more for political attention.

Former President Donald Trump, posting on his TRUTH Social before the committee’s first hearing, slammed the "corrupt politicians" on the panel, and blasted them as "political thugs."

So George Carlin was right that as well, and it was before the TSA was a thing.
