Senate Democrats refused to move ahead with a spending bill needed to keep the Department of Homeland Security running because it lacked limits they have demanded on federal immigration agents.

Mind you “limits” don’t mean much; ICE and the Border Patrol are happy to do illegal things and ignore courts. The entire current staff of both needs to be prosecuted.

    Oh no, people’s genitals will remain un-gropped at airports, how will the country continue to function.

    Could they just forget to fund DHS for the next forever, that would be great.

      Did you check that guy with the heavy refrigerator sized luggage with all the radiation warning sings?.. Yeah, he’s average, about 5.76" inches why?

    At this point, 99% of American people are at higher risk of being killed by the government than they are to be killed by a foreign terrorist.

    Unless you go to public school. Then you’ve got about a 30% change of being killed by a classmate, 69.9999% chance of being killed by the government, and a .0001% chance of dying from a foreign terrorist

    Pretty meaningless long-term, unless they can somehow get BACK all the vast funds ICE has already secured.

    That sounds like a fine state of affairs. Ms. Crispy Gnome can do spew bullshit lies for free if she wants to continue doing that.
