Ironically, it's because of lack of future funding for ICE that is causing TSA to be short-staffed and unpaid. Should be the other way around -- pay TSA; abolish ICE.
ICE has a $79 billion budget they received via the ‘big bullshit beautiful bill’ they have lots & lots of money… DHS (agencies) are the ones not getting paid.
Trump tweets because he is a demented child.
The Facts: ICE continues to be paid during DHS funding lapses primarily because its employees are deemed “essential law enforcement”, often backed by special, multi-year funding, or by shifting funds to prioritize border security. While other agencies like the TSA work without pay, ICE is considered critical, meaning they operate regardless of new funding deals
Here’s the crux of it. The American government is a corrupt piece of shit run by people who are corrupt pieces of shit which is ultimately controlled by the filthy Rich who are extremely corrupt pieces of shit.
A lot of idiots and crybabies still try to hold onto the belief that the United States is a country of laws and that we have liberty injustice. We are a fucking police state and we’ve been a police state for a long time and it’s getting worse and worse and worse and all people do is bitch about it. If this was France the top people in our government and the people who own the government the filthy rich would be going to a fucking guillotine by now.
Bless his nonexisting heart. He’s trying so hard to turn us into an authoritarian country.
Every time a human is killed by ICE he must have an orgasm.
America will never be an authoritarian country. Next year, when we win the midterms, all these people are going to be held accountable. Including Trump.
We are not. Because we still have people in power pushing back as long as we have those people pushing back we will not become an authoritarian country.
There are always people pushing against power, that doesn’t mean the country isn’t under an authoritarian government. A president threatening the democracy of other countries (Canada, Greenland, etc) is an authoritarian president. A president sending “police” into the streets to set up “check points” and take (illegally, without any due process) citizens off the street is an authoritarian president. A president who ignores the laws and constitution of their own country, is an authoritarian president. There are so many examples, I could write a book (many have) but, please don’t ignore what is going on in your country, right now. I will leave you with this…The definition of “What is an authoritarian government?” (As per google)
”An authoritarian government is a form of rule characterized by highly concentrated power, where a leader or small group exercises authority without accountability to the public
. It suppresses political opposition, restricts civil liberties, limits pluralism, and often uses repression to maintain control, prioritizing order over democratic rights.”
Thank you. I follow Michael Popok. He has great information and insight. I, also, follow Blackman Spy on Substack. He is has great knowledge and expertise in the current war.
I must say, I don’t trust ChatGPT but I understand your point and I agree to an extent. However, I still believe the U.S is currently governed by an Authoritarian regime. So, to your point, the U.S may still be considered democratic but is on the verge of a total Authoritarian takeover. If people don’t realize this, democracy will be hard to regain. So far in the U.S., when actions are alleged to be illegal or unconstitutional:
They are challenged in courts
They are debated publicly
They can be reversed, blocked, or punished through legal or electoral means. Bottom line
Your paragraph describes behaviors people associate with authoritarian leadership
But the U.S. system still has active checks, opposition, and legal recourse
So it’s more accurate to say: The U.S. is not an authoritarian country, but it is experiencing political conflict and stress over democratic norms
Sorry, I hit send by accident before I completed my thought! My point is the U.S may not technically be Authoritarian but is too damn close to be considered a Democracy. I think the real tell will be what happens between now and the November elections and specifically on election day. Good luck!🤞
Then Americans are gonna need to cancel all of their vacation and travel plans for this per seeable future and just shut the airports in the skies down due to lack of business
Then it’s the perfect time for a NATIONAL STRIKE !! We need to stop feeding this machine and shut this fucking country down for a month!! NO working NO shopping NO driving!!
Will the ICE "helpers" at the airports all be masked up and armed? They'll be too busy arresting all the people who look undocumented. I would think the National Guard would be better at airports. I have a trip coming up -- looks like I'll find out.
They aim for the heads & eyes of the peaceful protestors! People have serious vision & brain trauma from these terrorist. We don’t want ICE! Defund them!
Why can he pay ICE instead of TSA?
And- larger question,
WHY is it acceptable that huge life-impacting announcements are made via TWEETS?!
Because they're short and he only knows a few words.

Be cause ICE had an absolutely enormous budget in the big ugly bill

This regime rules by tweets, unfortunately.
They are dictatorial tweets. A presidential tweet cuts out all reviews or oversight by Congress or any authority in the country.
PAY TSA … GOP VOTED TO NOT VOTE FOR TSA PAY
Bc chump is an inept bully who can’t form words besides a word salad. DementiaDon
Yeah, people are gonna end up getting shot over 5oz containers of shampoo
😂 and 🥺
Democrats offered to pay TSA…they declined!!! But you won’t hear that from MSM! They want funds for ICE….period! Why???
Cos they kill people right wingers hate and the more right wing the public get the better the right wing press do and the more money it makes.

He will do everything to stop the mid-terms from happening or will corrupt the ballots and claim the Repugs won seats.
Absolutely, he will. Americans will not sit back and allow that to happen.
All the power to you!! ❤️
Then Americans are gonna need to cancel all of their vacation and travel plans for this per seeable future and just shut the airports in the skies down due to lack of business
And fuel will be too expensive to fly or drive anywhere anyway.
Then it’s the perfect time for a NATIONAL STRIKE !! We need to stop feeding this machine and shut this fucking country down for a month!! NO working NO shopping NO driving!!
I think ice should be deployed for the boots on the ground mission in Iran.
🎯 💯
A lot of us do. That would be some decent training. Don’t have to pay for it twice. Training on the job.
Oh that's a good IDEA
I think that’s a great idea. Let’s see how tough the maga nazi cowards are.
more blunders by the Orange Buffoon
Not a good decision to send in I
ICE.
There are also girls and women in ICE detention centers who have become pregnant while in custody so obviously they are being raped by ICE. WTF!
F*CK 🧊

We don’t need National Guard or ICE we just need Republicans to pay TSA which they refuse to do.
are we sure he is old enough to be president 🤔 only 5 year olds act like him calling people names.
Well said
‘The American People aren’t going to like this’
What is it going to take to get these fucking politicians to TAKE AN ACTION! T hey can stop this war
It’s difficult for Republicans to speak when they are on bended knee slurping on Trump’s little pickle. 😮🫣🫢
Apparently Leslie Graham is adept at cock talk. Or is it cock tock…. Calk talk?
At what point do I need to sell my property, and move to a different country? And - serious question- what banks are safe, international?
Local credit unions are better isolated from a big financial collapse.
Canada - they are asking for good people.
With a last name like mine,.. maybe that is a solid idea 😂 lol
They aim for the heads & eyes of the peaceful protestors! People have serious vision & brain trauma from these terrorist. We don’t want ICE! Defund them!
Use your local Credit unions, do not use commercial banks.
ICE is exactly the same as ISIS.
F*CK 🧊
ICE is Trumps private stormtroopers!
F*CK 🧊
And are the ICE agents going to wear masks in the airports?
That was my question and still no answer
