I would like to think that the rest of the world cares not for what the chubby trump-water boy has to say. He is not going down in the annals of history as a profile in courage. After his shameful performance in Saudi Arabia he can go no lower.

If there is a bright spot anywhere, just think about McDonald and KFC going with their FDA inspections. May it poison his insides bigly.

What TSA screeners should do is give the GOP congressmen a hard time, complete with orifice searches.

Hereâs one that affects my Day Job:
Wow, it turns out that government does all kinds of stuff to help people and to make our complex modern society work. Not necessarily glorious or exciting-sounding, but itâs like a light switch â you flip it on thousands of times without thinking of the infrastructure that makes it all work, but one day if you flip the switch and the light doesnât come on, you suddenly notice.
But who could possibly have known that?

The nationâs 51,000 airport security agents are among the federal employees who have been ordered to work through the partial shutdown, which began on Dec. 22.
On Friday, they missed their first paycheck since it started, a lapse that their union leaders feared would cause more of them to stop showing up for work or even to quit their jobs.
Hydrick Thomas, president of the T.S.A. Council of the American Federation of Government Employees, said this week that âextreme financial hardshipâ had driven some of his members to resign and many others to consider doing so.

Just read this. What a bunch of fân liars. DHS spox calls CNN article Fake News and says CNN could have called TSA personnel to confirm. Trump of course re-tweets DHS spox with accolades.
Problem is, it is a true story, and CNN quoted the TSA spox, among other TSA personnel in first couple of sentences. BAD DOG!
Washington (CNN) Hundreds of Transportation Security Administration officers, who are required to work without paychecks through the partial government shutdown, have called out from work this week from at least four major airports, according to two senior agency officials and three TSA employee union officials.
The mass call outs could inevitably mean air travel is less secure, especially as the shutdown enters its second week with no clear end to the political stalemate in sight.
âThis will definitely affect the flying public who we (are) sworn to protect,â Hydrick Thomas, president of the national TSA employee union, told CNN.
TSA spokesman Michael Bilello said the agency is âclosely monitoring the situationâ and that âscreening wait times remain well within TSA standards,â although that could change if the number of call outs increases.

Coasties were getting paid poverty wages. Now they get none.
E3 Seaman is $23-26K/year. Some E4 to E6 are not getting much more than that.
Federal poverty level is $25K for family of four.

Everyone whoâs not getting paid should not show up for work. If they canât strike, they should not have to work for this bullshit.

Although it sickens me to have many of those critters in my neighborhood any longer than necessary, I agree that this would be a fine way to make them feel the pain of their inaction.
I canât evaluate their skills as terrorists, but I must respectfully acknowledge that theyâre masters of disguise. Perhaps Hollywood could use their makeup skills.
It struck me that maybe these airports getting higher funding through Congressional budgeting because theyâre used by the critters who love nothing more than taking care of themselves.
