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
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.
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.
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.
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.
