Step 2 in a nazi takeover of the United States. More is coming.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Their bills are the clean bills. Yesterday's vote was a simple yea or nay for TSA funding. The Republicans voted against it. The GOP refuses to fund the TSA without tying a whole bunch of other fascist shit to it. This crisis is manufactured.

Throwaway accounts and more propaganda isn’t proof of anything. I think it’s pretty clear that untrained, unaccountable armed people who have already killed multiple US citizens that they have no jurisdiction over is a real-world worry that people have. It’s silly to dismiss rational, logic-based worry as “propaganda”.

Refer to US Constitution

Give them a clean FEMA bill, and they'll vote for it.
They had 5 chances to do so and explicitly excluded it, so I don't see how that can possibly be true. Is your argument that they're incapable of constructing a bill representing their position?
No they didn't lol.

Dunno, you'd think the administration would prefer they be out on the streets rather than menacing business travelers. This may be pure legislative/executive incompetence rather than a grand scheme.
Welp, good thing there's absolutely no way this could go horribly wrong.

Is this the new "payment package", so a bit less than 19B/year, or is this added to the 11B, and ICE funding is 30B/year?

How did they get elected?
Misinformation, low voter turnout, and an electoral system that massively over-represents people living in areas of low population density and underrepresents those living in areas of high population density. That’s ignoring any possibility of interference with insecure voting or tallying computers.
Trump won the electoral college and popular vote.

What’s left of FEMA? Anyway their disaster response is not impacted by the lapse in funding. They’re currently on the ground doing something or other in Hawaii.
This is completely incorrect. FEMA has ceased public assistance for ongoing and historical disasters.

ICE is $11B. Coast Guard is $14B.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
