Oh no, people's genitals will remain un-gropped at airports, how will the country continue to function.
Could they just forget to fund DHS for the next forever, that would be great.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Did you check that guy with the heavy refrigerator sized luggage with all the radiation warning sings?.... Yeah, he's average, about 5.76" inches why?
Shut down everything and don't bother starting it up again.
At this point, 99% of American people are at higher risk of being killed by the government than they are to be killed by a foreign terrorist.
Unless you go to public school. Then you've got about a 30% change of being killed by a classmate, 69.9999% chance of being killed by the government, and a .0001% chance of dying from a foreign terrorist

They better not cave. If they need money they can stop pursuing more concentration camps, occupying cities and being Trump ss troops
Pretty meaningless long-term, unless they can somehow get BACK all the vast funds ICE has already secured.
It's not meaningless. The more funding they get the more harm they can do. Keeping the funding level high instead of astronomical will mean fewer Americans will be subject to state-sanctioned violence.
But I do agree that those funds should be clawed back as soon as possible.
That said I expect them to capitulate like they always do. But we'll see.
That sounds like a fine state of affairs. Ms. Crispy Gnome can do spew bullshit lies for free if she wants to continue doing that.
