Yo, I just got back from two weeks in Japan and hoooooly poo poo, TSA and customs does not give ANY fucks right now. There's gonna be a major bombing somewhere because our mental child president has to have his spikey sticks.

Dude, TSA has never stopped anything, ever. Well, that's not exactly true - one time they made my wife throw away some toothpaste she was taking to her Slovakian friend.

They stopped me from bringing fully legal duty free liquor onto a plane via transfer. I could fly into the country with it in a bag but gently caress me for trying to get to my transfer point cause NO LIQUIDS OVER whatever amount. They were nice enough to give me the option of going back through security, checking it into luggage somehow, and missing my flight home, thanks assholes.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

When you retrieve your luggage at customs you're supposed to put your liquor in the suitcase at that point

googled a bit about shutdowns and landed on chud-central “the daily caller”

quote:

For liberals to suggest that Trump’s government shutdown is out of the norm is not only factually incorrect, it is pure hypocrisy given that all of the government shutdowns of the prior 20 years have been at the hands of Democratic presidents.

Moreover, anyone surprised that President Trump shut down the government over border security has simply not been paying attention. From the moment he announced his candidacy for president in June 2015, to the moment he overwhelmingly won the presidency in November 2016, to the moment he openly offered during a live-televised cabinet meeting to “sign” any immigration bill brought to his desk in February 2018, he has continuously pledged to secure the border — or else, “Drain the swamp.” It is simply one more campaign promise he has kept to the American people.

from what I recall Obama’s shutdown was for the Obamacare thing which was described as DEATH PANELS FOR OLD PEOPLE by the opposition

Ronald McTrump is building something ACTUALLY useful, a wall! he’s got a big brain!

He's definitely not. He's very right wing. But he's their supposedly neutral, reasonable journalist. (he's not)

His deal is to occasionally disagree on some points to prove neutrality then side with the republicans 97% of the time

I don't think it's shtick, I think he's a right-wing hack who also has genuine contempt for the sheer level and volume of bullshit that emerges from the White House. Based on who his father is, he probably regards himself as a proper journalist.

from 96-98 the house and senate were too busy trying to impeach and convict clinton (he was impeached, not convicted), from 1998-2000 after he wasn't impeached he became too popular such that if the republicans did anything stupid like shutdown they'd be raked over the coals in the press. leaving office he had the highest approval rating ever of a president since fdr and had a budget surplus which would be basically impossible today.

from 2000-2008 basically because of 9/11 and the iraq war bush was way popular until the tail end of 2008 when the markets crashed. 2008-2010 the republicans hated obama but a shutdown after the financial crisis would have been political suicide for either side. 2010-2012... i honestly don't know other than the fact that dems still had a super majority in the senate despite losses and the continued effects of the financial crisis... but pretty much to the tail end of 2012 the tea party group of republicans were pretty much ready to shutdown over the ACA.. (which apparently is why they got elected in 2010)
