The Democrats need to stick to their guns. And don't let the gop blame anyone but themselves for the chaos that happens. Sick of this bullshit from the Trump party. He could break an anvil. They need to compromise.

This is Trump....my way or the highway and screw Americans. Childish, petty and extremely harmful.

Nadine Collins's avatar

Absolutely! The world knows the truth! Democrats hold the line!!

ICE heading to polling places next. Getting paid to do Trumps bidding. Total losers…

Lorraine Parish's avatar

every blue state governor needs to put their National Guard on alert beginning in October so the evil monster can't Federalize them in November

Lynne's avatar

I just sent a message to my Governor. I hope she listens.

Yay. !!! I’ll have to contact mine :also!!!

He's turning this country into something like Orwell's 1984. And he has people that are clearly ok with it. Do they actually think the Democrats are the only ones that'll have to adhere to this bee-ess? It'll fall on the entire country.

paulahik's avatar

They do. That's why they get so mad when it gets turned on them. They truly believe he cares about them.

Great at spelling, too!

Stick your foot out as they swagger past and record them falling on their faces. Get your own ice outfit off Amazon and vote while acting like you're one of them. Every voter that can get away with it wear the outfit and do the swagger and all stand in the voting line so they have no idea what's going on.

Against the law. But we know they don't care about the law or the Constitution.

Ice are a bunch of losers who get off on hurting people

paulahik's avatar

Ice is made to be chipped with a pick.

There is no GOP...it's just MAGA...

Real Republicans don't exist in Congress anymore

Irene Finn's avatar

The gop ran out some of the decent ones, Kinzinger and Cheney. Massie is next. I didn't agree with those people but at least they called Trump out on his lies and nonsense.

I won’t being flying anywhere until TSA agents are back doing their job and being paid, with full back pay. Period. I wonder how many airlines will go bankrupt?? Will it be worth Trump’s little tantrum - You pass my horrible Save Act or else. He knows he can’t win a fair election because he hasn’t done anything he promised to do.

Shelia Mcbride's avatar

Yet somehow Magas still follow him...waiting for a bone?

Lorraine Parish's avatar

who cares they're hopeless

paulahik's avatar

They are slowly becoming that old maga lady at the gas station who voted for trump 3 times and is now admitting she was an idiot and that trump is a "worthless piece of sh!t."

Lorraine Parish's avatar

let them go bankrupt, another nail in trump's coffin. whatever it takes to bring him down flying included.

Nita Uno's avatar

He did promise to be a dictator. Promise kept. Ugh

Lynne's avatar

He also promised no wars and they believed him!

paulahik's avatar

The only one he's kept.

paulahik's avatar

That's what I'm thinking. This will hurt the airline industry for years. Too bad some areas of the country don't have passenger trains. Still, the airlines are wealthy donors and will not donate to those that damage their business, such as republicans. People aren't taking their finger-pointing anymore as their lies finally start to catch up to them.

Project 2025 explicitly calls for TSA to be privatized but it cannot happen until unionized TSA agents are eliminated.

So they defund DHS, agents without pay will quit, airport security breaks down / massive delays, send ICE to "help", push the narrative that

this crisis requires privatization (framed as no cost to taxpayers), private contractors come in, TSA unions are eliminated and ICE becomes a permanent presence in American airports.

Bonus: ICE creates chaos as they squat in our airports, riots breakout, mayhem. Giving Trump the civil unrest he needs to stop elections. All of this chaos is by design.

Shelia Mcbride's avatar

You so nailed it but Magas just can't see beyond today and are sure Trump will make them happy and maybe even get to visit the gold ballroom!

paulahik's avatar

For a rather large fee that goes straight into trump's pockets.

Diane Lee's avatar

Perfectly said 👌. Raw sewage sums it up 💯🎯

Carletta Starks's avatar

Actually, the real reason Republicans won't negotiate is because they have been instructed not to accept anything but full compliance, including federal control of elections. Everything else is just a straw horse. tRump cannot win the midterms unless he can control who and who does not vote. Remember Karoline Leavitt saying they want to make sure "the right people are voting."

As always he is a cheater!

I’m sure this is well published and documented overseas. Wonder how many tourists, who still planned a trip to the United States, have cancelled their plans completely? Nobody wants to go through this hassle voluntarily.

Greg Gumina's avatar

Great article/assessment of: what's really going on, how we've been dealing with it, and what we can do to help the American people when it's all over. Keep up the great work.

Lauren Tyson's avatar

Good, succinct article. Thank you.

I believe this is Chapter 5 in the Project 2025 fascist playbook...

Every American needs to go to INDIVISIBLE.org and REGISTER to attend the “NO KINGS” protests across the country this SATURDAY, March 28th near you. WHY register? It’s to be able to achieve the 3.5% rule. That rule states that when 3.5% of any country’s population (12 MILLION in the US), comes out in protest against an authoritarian regime in power, it sets up the dynamics for regime change. It signals that the mass population OBJECTS and demands change. It overwhelms those in power. We, the PEOPLE must show that we have the numbers on our side and we are demanding change. We will VOTE OUT every single MAGA complicit. Republicans are showing us who they are. Do you think private jets are subject to those long security lines? We are living in an autocratic oligarchy where the chaos and deprivations are NOT affecting those billionaires in this country. Thank you Brian for showing the comparison between the 2 parties and just WHO cares.

Congress gave DHS $190 billion in the Big Beautiful Billionaries Bill. DHS has plenty of money to pay TSA employees if Trump would so choose. Having found $1 Bn per day for his illegal war in Iran, and no longer paying for Noem's cowgirl commercials, paying TSA should be easy.

Lorraine Parish's avatar

Stick to your guns Democrats, look what happened with the health insurance deal. NOTHING.

Let it all burn down if that's what it takes. The orange devil said he wouldn't sign anything anyway until the "Steal" America Act is passed. Let the loser wallow in his losses until the cows come home. Fuck him and his lies.

I haven't heard anything about the Trump/Dejoy conspiracy to wreck the post office for quite some time. Today I went to the post office to complain that a package I've been expecting for three weeks and was tracked to the next town last week, has not arrived. They tracked it using the number I provided and told me it had been returned to Kansas City [220 miles] and was now on its way to Minnesota! I can remember when it was not this way! Pre-Trump!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

That's because DeJoy is gone, but the bad news is he waited until trumpolini was back to step down.

Charles Romer's avatar

Very well laid out column. The Republicans are not going to know what hits them in November. No wonder they’re trying so hard to rig the election.

Shelia Mcbride's avatar

Trump's need to WIN at everything even if it hurts Americans is surely affecting Magas also. But, since Trump is only concerned about WINNING AT ALL COSTS...he will do whatever it takes to be the boss of our country, keep his perceived image of a tough guy, and his gang need their power and money so .....here we are America.

Paula Dean's avatar

Actually, Republicans DID agree to fund the agencies other than Border Patrol/ICE. Our utterly insane potus said "no". And now he's decided that nothing gets passed before the SAVE Act.

Linda T's avatar

Pass it, force him to refuse to sign, then after 10 days, doesn’t it become law anyway?
