Markwayne Mullin on pulling CBP agents from processing international flights in New Jersey: "Do we have a plan to initiate it? Yes. We have a plan to initiate it if required."

OMG pleeease do this I can’t think of a faster way to piss off the average voter than to completely and utterly upend air travel in this country, during the summer, when everybody is trying to travel Just the emptiest of threats from these chuds

When I returned from Austria last spring I used my Swedish passport for the flight to get a better deal. When I deplaned in Los Angeles, I went to a secure room to clear customs. I tried to use my USA Global Entry card. Wrong. WTF is this country doing to itself?

I'm sure the airlines will get right on that to divert their international flights to...where now? Philly? No, too woke. NYC? No, too communist. Suggestions? Let alone the logistics at much smaller airports that cannot handle the larger aircraft OR the additional traffic! Totally ridiculous!

Now trump will allow no one to guard against criminals coming in to America. He's destroyed healthcare, and hospitals are closing, millions of jobs lost to AI #PayAttentionPeople

So those that are paid to protect from actual terrorists just walking off plains into our cities and letting it rip! It’s like they are doing it on purpose to let a catastrophe happen especially now that what we celebrate 250! BEYOND DUMB and yes with a B!!

Yo Gordo. The Insurrection Act doesn’t suspend elections. In fact, we even had elections during our Civil War! Lincoln v. McClellan. 1864. Guess who won? Vegas or Carolina??? Who do you got, eh?

So they'll stop flights going to the parts of the country that fund the federal government? That'll go well. This appeals to MAGA tho. They've been told the Democratic cities are "hellscapes" and believe themselves to be the economic drivers of the country. They're not.

Makes sense, pull Customs agents highly trained to detect illegal entry into US at airports to do what exactly. And further reduce tourism and World Cup cancellations, lose/lose ideas by losers.

We ran @gelliottmorris.com's latest high-res Trump approval estimates through the #AmericanNations model. He's underwater in every single region, even his stronghold of Greater Appalachia. He's definitely lost the room. www.nationhoodlab.org/trumps-suppo...

"What defines 'required'? Will that be if the President says so? Also, if there are no CBP agents at airports, who will enforce keeping passengers deplaning from just entering the United States unchallenged? Do you expect that airport personnel will assume the duties of CBP agents?"

I believe that's what the US government would do. Force international flights to land at the airport of their choosing or be blown out of the sky.

The airforce jets will be trailing a sign behind them "Welcome to the USA for the FIFA World Cup! Please spend lots of money on hotels and tourist activities while you're here!"

Do it! Do it! There're still about 25% of the country who think Trump and crew know what they are doing, and though none of them fly (or read, or count past 10, but I digress), it will cause total chaos even for them. Something I'm all for just before the midterms.

Uhhh he's seriously bringing up that Ice and cbp didn't get more funding? Or as he put it "we're still shut down" just completely ignoring the reason the gop argued for it was the billions in funding they'd just gotten?
