What do you think about some airports refusing to play Noem's video blaming Democrats for the government shutdown?

Well... obviously it's a Republican shutdown. They are the majority in all three branches of government

The check point should not be political...

I am fine with it. In fact, I am wondering if her message is unlawful. Think of it like the State of the Union Address. Each year, after the State of the Union Address, a representative of the opposite party then gives a speech usually criticizing the President.

Well, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's message was political and not a genuine public service announcement from the Department Homeland Security (*). Under the doctrine of equal time, the Democrats should then be able to have a similar message.

(*) Her message should be irrelevant anyway since she is Secretary of Homeland Security. The airports are under the jurisdiction of the FAA which is part of the Department of Transportation and it's the FAA that should make any official government statements in US airports.

Airports playing government videos? I don't know anything about that. When I am in airports that have on ESPN and television news shows. They aren't playing videos from cabinet members. I don't really know what this story is you are talking about.

Ice Barbie is a little stupid bitch, she sounds like a broken record. Like all Trumpites. MAGAs, they say what the Orange Bastard says is true. Score points with the Orange Bastard. I have God damn neighbor that is a Trump broken record, every thing is caused by the Democrats. Most of Trump's cabinet posts are only there because they are his ass kissers, they are only there because of him. Trump will not be President for ever, when there is a regime change and the Democrats get back in, all these Trump parasites that were bad asses while he was President, his cabinet stooges might have hell to pay. The all mighty Orange Bastard will not be able to protect them from the new regime.

I fail to see how they can legit blame dipshit democrats for this mess, again, when republicans hold majority in the house, senate, the presidency, the supreme court etc.

If I am moving somewhere, and someones in my way and I step around them and step in dog shit, I'm not blaming them for where I happened to step.

Jesus, this country has become insufferable. Pretty sure that the last thing most people traveling want to do (or at least the normal ones) is hear about political drama bullshit.

Good on the airports banning it

[Snakeyes7]

Why would airports be playing that video? The only time they would play a video of her that would make sense is during TSA checkpoints.

[yulbsari]

That's exactly where they are being played.

[Snakeyes7]

Yeah but why? It is supposed to have her on loop explaining how the checkpoint works. Why would they show her saying that?

[yulbsari]

It's a move by the Trump Administration to pump the message that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown. Please read the article.

[Snakeyes7]

Ok, good I guess. I don't know why the Trump administration would place it there of all places but ok.

Spoiler alert

If you get your paycheck and taxes are being deducted, the government has not shutdown

[beefcakebradybatson]

I'd fly from those airports. F**k that dumb cowgirl.

[DrPepper12]

Law supports them. It's a hatch act violation.

[DonaldDarko]

Why they are Bolshevik scum of course.
