Good job at boosting our national security 👍

Firing the TSA head is based, the other two aren’t though.

A reminder that you can draw a straight line between Trump throwing a tantrum and causing a government shutdown and the first 737 MAX crash.

So what happens if Boeing has another moment? Will there simply not be anyone to ground planes if necessary?

In Rage by Bob Woodward, Trump laments what happened to the once-great Boeing and how the issues there led to its downfall. I thought it was funny when reading it, because of course he feels that Boeing, of all companies, was wronged somehow.
Boy oh boy.

Dems gotta be out there now making the point that actually, things like airline safety are important, and Trump is gutting them.
Get yourself on record so the first time there’s a plane crash you can say “I told you so”.
The goal must be to destroy Trump. Maybe you do some bipartisan stuff when there’s no other option, but 90% of his agenda is horrendously stupid and destructive and should be implacably opposed.
