A traitor to whom? The billionaire class quite literally owns all the property.
By not supporting the reigning despots, it’s liberals and leftists who are definitionally the traitors.
The people ruling the county aren’t on your side. They are your enemies.
I’m just holding everyone who voted for trump in 24 responsible
What’s the sentence, your honor?
An allegation
Mormonism is the end result of Protestant theology mingling with Capitalist economics.
The same experiment has produced Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientology, and dozens of other systems of social exploitation draped in religious clothing. Anywhere people need to believe an end to our industrial age self-flagellation is nigh, but cannot conceive of a society organized outside of theocratic principles, falls back into the same ritual of spiritualized mass marketing.
ICE literally wouldn’t have a foot in the door with airports right now if they weren’t filling in for empty TSA positions.
ICE agents keep getting a salary. TSA agents don’t.
Might be worth recalling that the original purpose of TSA was to rebuild social confidence in the airline industry for purely private interests. We’d made an enormous investment in airports, airplane manufacturers, and attendant infrastructure going back to the early 1970s, and were suddenly faced with the prospect of half the industry going bankrupt.
Airport security was, in effect, a bailout of a failing business model.
What we’re seeing now is a state level refusal to pay for anything that restores confidence in an economic institution. Terror is the only method they know how to employ. ICE agents are unleashed as a punishment, rather than a security blanket.
You’ll notice that nobody in the private sector seems interested in back filling the TSA jobs privately (a possibility that is legally permitted but more expensive than any public airport or airline wants to assume). Meanwhile, nobody in the legislative or executive level wants to admit this is security theater and dispense with it entirely.
All anyone knows how to do is terrorize you for flying, terrorize you for complying, and terrorize you for questioning these decisions.
what other option are we left with?
“Well, fascism is here, what do we do?”
“Just stop doing anything. Do absolutely nothing. Don’t do things anymore.”
“That sounds like a miserable idea.”
Airport Americans are the new African Americans, I guess.
Well… enjoy your TrumpBux
I wonder if the headline was written by an AI
Everything the Trump cult does is to cut off our balls.
You know, there are ways of undermining US socio-economic hegemony without killing millions of people.
I’ll never get the BlueMAGA head who looks at American GOP-lead fascism and insists that the real victims of it are Americans.
This, while we’ve got multiple genocides occurring on our watch.
Absolutely sickening.
If Trump is the cause of America’s destruction, perhaps its deserved. He’s not an agent of Putin, he’s an agent of Karma
I’ve heard people are selling to buy oil
Makes me glad I almost never handle cash then.
Was going to say…
Who even carries paper currency on them?
Truth is stranger than fiction
Doing a superficial investigation and report on the acquisition will cement it against challenge by states and future federal administrations.
Not that any Democratic administration has the balls to invoke Antitrust provisions in a material way (or, at least, a way courts won’t immediately block). But someone in TrumpWorld might be savvy enough to do enough ass-covering to avoid the tail risk.
If you don’t vote for Clinton, Cuomo, and Eric Adams, you’ll get something worse!

It’s their biggest donor
It’s crazy how many people love to blot the Clintons (and Larry Summers and the Cuomos and the rest) out of their brains the moment it’s convenient.
“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”
― Gore Vidal
The joke is that they’re all child molesters.
It clearly doesn’t. Any amount of time interacting with a police officer should tell you as much.
