It’s causing air travel to suck even more. I hope this crap ends before I fly next in May (domestic) and June (international). Flying sucked enough already.

Congressmen should all just be taken out back. Let's start over.

Got to vote them out. Bing had a good idea years ago - vote against every incumbent, regardless of party (he’s a Democrat). He said that’s what he did, but the problem is people just won’t do it in numbers necessary for a sweeping change.

But they were able to buy hundreds of vehicles they can't use.

What’s the problem?  The wraps can be removed, correct?  The vehicles not yet delivered can be done without adding the wraps.

Americans love to hate congress but are generally supportive of their congressman.

I’ve experienced some long times going through security, even with PreCheck, but nothing close to three hours. This needs fixed ASAP. 

Does it help to know that by willingly standing in line you are doing your part to resist Trump and MAGA?

Because MAGAs act like Karens when they have to stand in line so the only way to prove you aren't MAGA is to act like an adult.

I vote Gold almost all the time now.  I'll never vote for a Democrat until they drop the everybody is a racist Nazi BS.   The govt. (Red or Blue) has shown no ability to spend the money they get wisely or efficiently.  Giving them more money isn't any kind of answer.  How is the taxing Billionaire theme to give money to the criminals in office a better solution.

I'm not seeing any signs of ending the partial government shutdown. Flying is already a disaster due to this and it's getting worse by the day. I'm looking at changing my plans in May. We might just take a leisurely drive across country rather than fly and spend more time at my destinations (one being Indianapolis for the Indy 500). We're looking at possibly postponing the June international trip for business. I hope we don't have to do that.

This shut down is ridiculous.  Dems snatching a midterm loss from the jaws of victory.
