We are turning into north Korea.
Conservatives have been pushing to turn America into NK/Russia for a long time now. Looks like they're finally getting their wish, courtesy of stupid American voters/non-voters.
Or courtesy of election rigging, depending on who you believe.
Well as long as its at least 7.
My only solace is that the boomers waited till they were so fucking old to try to stop the world from changing through fascism.
Hitler shot himself at 56 and had spent a lot of his 30-40s trying to gain power. A lot of the current generation of fascists are a light jog away or botched botox from their death. But fuck this.
This is the part that burns me the most. All this, for a handful of years to sit atop the ashes.
Honestly a trash generation.
I don't say that lightly, because they exist in my personal life. But as a whole, it's a fucking garbage generation of humans. Utterly shameful.
this should really fall on the courts to enforce the hatch act & give laws governing officials more teeth.. this is insane 1984 level shit
You mean the courts controlled by Reps?
Courts shouldn't be political. The status is not quo.
It shouldn't, but these fuckers have shown they got people everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised that when the time comes they'll show their true colors.
For context, there are just over 500 commercial airports in the US.
Nearly three dozen …. Including the 10 busiest …. Affecting 1/3 of us air travelers ……
Did this story change after being posted or is the headline way downplaying this?
tbh I could also easily see a ton more not playing it but opting not to publicize the fact that they aren't playing it (ignored media request for comment).
That and not all airports even have TVs setup by the TSA checkpoint, or they're hardly used.
This was posted 2 days ago. Of course things have changed.
How many laws do they need to break in order for something to actually be done? They are clearly mentally ill and none of them are based in reality, so we need to get them out of office.
None of this is ok and none of this is normal.
They are not mentally ill, they would gladly twist a toddler's neck for a couple bucks. And that's been rewarded in America for centuries.
That is a mental illness. These people have a serious hoarding disorder, and they can't stop accumulating money. They have enough money that neither they, nor their descendants for the next century could possibly spend it all, and yet they will still walk through fire, or hire someone else to, to get even more.
If those people hoarded cats, or rusty cars, or newspapers, or general junk, we would get mental health care for them, and dismantle their collection. Psychopathic Oligarchs are no different. We should involuntarily commit them to mental hospitals to treat their hoarding issues, confiscate the bulk of their treasure, and keep them from rebuilding their fortunes.
Turns out all the people in positions of power who swore an oath to protect our nation are feckless cowards.
The people are going to have to do this or it isn't happening.
telling travelers “Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government” and claiming that is why “most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”
Honestly the TSA shouldn’t exist, it’s a graft and corruption scheme created by the Bush Jr administration so guys like Michael Chertoff could steal taxpayer money.
They can’t even perform their stated functions, there have been numerous instances of them failing to detect firearms and bomb parts during tests, they fail the majority by a wide margin.
It’s a “make-work” program. Those people should be building hospitals in rural communities, fixing roads and bridges. At least that would have a return on investment.
Same with ICE, and the entire DHS, frankly.
The day I saw you could pay to get expressed through the TSA lines was the day it became 100% apparent it was nothing more than a grifting scheme.
Those 7 airports are the only ones I'd consider going to. Why bother with the rest.
I recently went to two different airports and didn't see this at either. I think local airports are just ignoring this shit.
the Hatch Act is only as effective as the White House decides it will be
Lovely
Same as the Sherman and Clayton anti-trust acts, which is a big reason why we're here now. So, so much of corporate America is patently illegal, and the feds have done fuck-all about it for decades.
As well they should.
The Confederates are breaking the law, again.
Since when do airports show government propaganda?
SInce someone realized that it could be done
When the people that operate them are all in. This is what Fascism is, when people want to give them their power.

... And all the other airports in the country broadcast it?
It looks like they have capitulated, for now. It wouldn’t hurt to contact your local airport to object, and to organize peaceful demonstrations.
The airports that refuse to bend the knee have also released public statements condemning the video. Let’s show them our support! They are:
Portland International
Seattle-Tacoma International
Buffalo Niagara International
Niagara Falls International
Westchester County
When I saw the headline I felt sure my airport was on the list. Sure enough I am right. Love you PDX
Spokane international is on the list as well which is a little surprising as that is an area that favors Republicans in elections.

“This is probably not a Hatch Act violation, because it's not tied to an election,” Cynthia Brown, senior ethics counsel at the non-partisan ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), told Forbes.
Not tied to an election? What? What rock are you living under?
There really isn't any opposition to the GOP anymore. Just variations of complicity.
Good god, the morons in office right now are so fucking stupid. They have to make videos to put out and blame the left for all the dumb shit they do. They did it! They did it! Despite having the minority in all branches of the gov, it's totally them.
Fuck off fascists
