The TSA agents have rent or mortgages to pay, they have food to buy, utilities to pay for, and all the same monthly expenses everyone else has. But they are now working for no pay. The promise of eventually getting paid isn't very helpful if you can't pay your current bills and you fall behind on student loans or a mortgage payment. It is unconscionable to not pay them.
Meanwhile Trump talks about a 'crisis' that he's going to solve with a wall that will take at least ten years to build. That's not a crisis. And blaming the Democrats, well Trump blames others for everything. He had a Republican Congress for two years if he really needed a wall.
It's hard to tell if this is just one more tantrum from the president because he can't get his way and can't acknowledge ever being wrong, or this was suggested by his patron in Moscow to help make the US unable to serve its people and the world.
Either way it's a disgrace that Senate Republicans, who apparently complain about the president privately, but won't do anything to stop his destruction of the US publicly.
UPDATE 8:19pm:
When we walked out of SEATAC this afternoon we were given this pamphlet.
The link goes to here. So to 'protect' the American people from terrorists coming across the border, we aren't going to pay TSA agents and FAA employees, but force some to work and furlough others. Really. What more could Putin wish for than to destroy the US from the White House? You don't believe in collusion with Russia? Read Seth Abramson's Proof of Collusion, carefully, then tell my where he's wrong.
