The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Kinda like how we have shutdowns or DHS shutdowns when our Kurds and our Baghdad tribes can't work things out.

So Trump the Great and Powerful deploys ICE store troopers, to replace the TSA agents that have been starved into quitting and seeking employment elsewhere.

Trump says ICE will deploy to airports Monday to assist TSA amid funding standoff

foxnews.com - Trump says ice deploy airports monday assist tsa amid funding standoff

The GOP never wanted the government doing airport security, and, in particular, didn't want TSA unionized. This gives them a perfect excuse to either fold TSA into ICE, or turn the job back over to rent-a-cops, so their cronies can make a profit off it.

Thing is, there are not enough storm troopers. iirc, ICE has increased it's force to some 22,000, but TSA employs about 50,000. Of course, if they implement Plan Steve, to fold TSA into ICE, then the existing TSA screeners can be brought on force, as soon as they are issued camo, masks, and given that 47 days of thug training.
