    Remember when abolishing TSA was an anti-Bush liberal cause - a defense of basic civil liberties against encroaching fascism? Now Trump says something negative about the TSA and the liberals reflexively jump to its defense.

    Fuck Trump, fuck the TSA, and fuck anyone whose politics change with the weather.

      It’s hard because with Trump everything he says comes from a misguided place.

      So, it’ll be like:

      Trump: “We need to get rid of for profit prisons…!”

      Me: “Yes…!”

      Trump: “… we should simply be executing everyone in the streets!”

      Me: “… No…!”

      So yea… Anyway, fuck Trump and fuck the TSA

      I think this post is more about the “key aviation safety advisory committee” being gutted right before the worst air disaster in over a decade.

      I don’t really see people defending TSA anywhere. I just see people pointing out that Trump thinks DEI initiatives are at fault, while simultaneously thinking that thinning out the workforce in a notoriously understaffed field will strengthen the workforce.

        I was about to clarify a few minutes ago, they were defending the TSA on reddit. “This is how you get 9/11” or something like that.

          Bin Laden said he did 9/11 to bring attention to the Palestinians suffering. So supporting zionism is how we got 9/11. About two and a half decades later we havent learned a single thing. If anything we care less about human lives all the time.

            Bin Laden was very clear that the US military presence in Saudi Arabia was the primary factor. Palestine was mentioned but was never as big of a motivation as Al Qaeda’s goal is reconstructing the caliphate in Medina which would be complicated if the US military were present.
