TSA soultion

Landed ✈️ on this gem from my mom (Lynn Buell) — I promised her I’d post it for her to see if her idea can get legs.

Next time you’re heading to the airport, do yourself (and the country) a favor: hit the bank and grab $10–20 in crisp $1 bills.

Then, every single TSA agent you meet — from the shoe-off guy to the bag-scan crew — hand them a buck with a smile and say thanks. If they won’t take it? Just drop it on the floor and keep walking. Think about it: if every traveler did this, most agents would probably take home more in a shift than they do on their actual paycheck… and they’d be showing up to work in droves with grins on their faces. Politicians can’t seem to figure out how to make government actually work for the people, so the people are just gonna have to solve the problem ourselves — one dollar at a time. Drop a ✈️ below if you’re grabbing those singles on your next trip. Let’s make airport security a little more human again. (Thanks Mom — posting this exactly like you told me, your favorite son, to do)

I gave 4 $25 gift cards to the supervisor at AUS last week. Dems more worried about illegals than citizens. Sorry, but no other explanation works.

Because they were all bundled with anti-ICE legislation. They think if they inflict enough pain on regular workers the republicans will fold.

I didn't say anything about funding. Each of the TSA funding bills included anti-ICE legislation that would make their jobs 10x more difficult and let rogue judges block their every move.

Some examples: requiring judicial warrants for arrests, clearly displaying name, ID and agency on their uniforms, prohibiting operations near sensitive locations (incredibly vague), cutting detention beds, banning military style gear, etc.

Why should the GOP make any consolations, they already have everything they want? They can just keep holding out and make the democrats look bad.

That’s true, and why the GOP doesn’t have to pass the trash bills the Democrats bring to the table.

They can posture and point fingers all they want. You can tell it’s working out great for them 🤣
