I was saying this. Since when has he ever cared about the laws tell him what he can and cannot do? King Trump does what he wants. bsky.app/profile/rapb...

If Trump wanted this fixed, he would. Trump doesn’t care about laws & does whatever the fuck he wants. Kidnap a head of state, steal their oil and gold? Sure, no problem. Destroy 1/3rd of the White House with no permission? Why not? Attack Iran without Congressional approval? You bet!

The law isn’t really a barrier at this point w/ the Legislature having abrogated its Constitutional duty to check a rogue Executive. The lower courts are moving pretty fast, but they can only rule on what comes before them — & absent enforcement, they’re practically neutered.

Of course, because it's what democrats have been banging the drum for & he can't bear to appear in agreement with democrats. Somebody in his sycophantic circle is whispering in his ear. I don't know why TSA agents didn't strike. What can the asshole do to them, dock their pay?! 🤣

It is actually illegal. But he doesn’t want to share credit with Ds, so this is what he is doing. He could have committed this illegality from the start but he was “negotiating Trump-style” (i.e., badly). Congress should pass a bill for this that he then signs or has to veto (😜)

Quality of life as in public safety? Way things been going him and cult doesn’t care? More like anything tax wise is $ going back to them? Effort for public safety should have started with school shooting instead thought and prayers from cult?

Or the Congress could do their job and find a solution. This whole stunt is political grandstanding by the Democrat Party. On the one hand, they brag how Obama deported more than Trump, but when it actually comes to enforcement now, they think it's some kind of sin. Hypocrisy.

There was no use sending ice to the airports. They get paid to just stand around, while unpaid TSA employees are working their butts off. Trump & GOP Republicans are heartless idiots. I tip my hat to every TSA worker.

Can you imagine having to function in the white house with this lunatic changing his mind every two seconds and blowing up your narrative?

Trump would have lost face after a 100-0 vote in the Senate if the House would have approved funding of the TSA. So what he did instead is have Mike Moses Doormat Johnson refuse to vote on it, let it die, and then try (feebly) to look heroic by funding it himself, which he cannot do anyway.

They already HAVE the money!! The September 11th Security Fee is a mandatory charge applied to airline tickets for flights originating in the United States. This fee is intended to support the funding of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

Umm, paying them with money appropriated for another purpose is illegal. Congress controls what money gets spent and where. It’s the president’s job to ensure that happens. But the Orange Dumbfuck has some more dumbfuckery he hasn’t finished yet. So WTF ever.

djt is not honest, so don't ask it of him. He also has no empathy, so really couldn't care less about them working without a paycheck. Playing golf is more important to him than those suckers and losers.

No, he could not. He still cannot. Congress controls the purse strings. Well, that's how it's supposed to work. The way things are these days, there is no telling.

Interestingly, the 9/11 security fee we pay, would completely fund the TSA except for the fact that Congress diverts 65% of the fee to the treasury to use in other things like the general budget and servicing our debt. Hence they then need to provide funding back to TSA.

It’s time for MAGA to admit that they elected a disgusting moron. Trump’s approval rating is in the crapper. It’s just a matter of time that the idiot starts blaming the “fake polls”.

He didn’t care until the pressure got too heavy on him. Once the MAGA people were inconvenienced from taking their vacations by having to wait in five hour lines, they had enough of his shit I knew he was about to fold.

Does the Constitution even matter anymore? tRump created this crisis, not "Democrats" "Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis...I am going to sign an Order … to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation"

He lied about Russia He lied about election results He lied about $2K checks He lied about $1,776 checks He lied about prices coming down He lied about healthcare He lied about ICE He lied about election fraud He lied about voting-by-mail being cheating #TrumpVotesByMail

Sure he could, he was trying to privatize TSA just like Project 2025 says. The stock market blew a gasket today and he is the TACO man again.

Ugggghhhh! After the Senate's funding plan was rejected by the House, it's time to use the next two weeks and exploit how fed up more cowardly GOP Reps are with Johnson, and if any have suddenly grasped a last straw. #RemoveTheSpeaker #RemoveHegseth

Watching this from over the pond in the UK, the way government employees are treated during shutdowns, which are not of their choice/making is appalling. Our funding systems don't result in shutdowns. But if employees can't attend work due to official reasons, they'd be paid.
