I wish this admin would just do the job vs making shit up. Yes, overblown headlines are as old as dirt. But it just makes the DEA look like chumps. The DEA said it arrested 171 ‘high ranking’ Sinaloa Cartel members. A Spotlight investigation found that’s not true. “They are doing anything they can to tie it to a cartel,” said one federal law enforcement official, adding that the arrests were “definitely not cartel.” A Massachusetts law enforcement official briefed by the DEA confirmed that those arrested were nearly all low-level offenders, not major dealers. “They always talk it up a little,” the official said of the DEA. “They talked this up too much.”

And alienate 2x of your own voting bloc?

Anyone can do garage beer. Now shower beer, that's a different level. Pic brought to you by The BrewDog Hotel in Columbus. Yes, I've stayed there.

IMO, not real players. Acted drama, aka, click bait. A quick Google says EBT can't be used for that stuff. Now if some place is misrepresenting their biz to accept EBT, I don't think it ends well. Now if you're saying there are plenty of EBT cheaters, I agree. As a kid, saw it at our local convenience store; trading food stamps for cash. TX has placed a new upcoming restriction on junk food. I wonder if the soda/chip lobby made a stink. But leave it to some shifty store owner to create fake price tags or just use old fashioned cash registers.

Snap won't move anything. Solid voting Ds will stay Ds. Solid voting Rs will stay Rs. Reps that feel heat on their reelection will the ones that fold. Question remains, what side tips first?

I guess this game of chicken will come down to which incumbents think their reelection is most at risk.

Things you should listen to drunk while on BO

In case I'm wrong... -
So, you all let your reps know to vote no on the Big Beautiful Bill, one that increased the deficit?

Point proven. You try harder vs depending on a made up internet name.

Bud, almost anytime I post something that's counter to Trump/cabinet, someone makes a personal attack on me. It's like the topic is indefensible, so attack the critic. I keep saying, debate the content. Mod man himself went personal. uhhello did it last week. Seriously, scroll back and see for yourself. Cheers

Outstanding! I formally request a quibbling emoji. You know, TDS goes both ways, as in one so deranged by Trump love, you can't think rationally or objectively anymore. As for the topic, what are the benefits of a privatized ATC vs GS employees? Wouldn't it cost more because now someone is now making profit? OK, so ban profits. Now that CEO writes his contract to make $5M. Does said private company have the same oversight and obligation to the FAA/Congress on accountability? Would said company have free reign to set fees, charge more for foreign carriers, cut services to some class D muni, etc? Would that mean no taxpayer funds, thus driving up ticket prices? Would my taxes go down? (I already know thats a fat No). How do you charge that Cirrus doing 30 T/Gs for training? What about the soon to be electrics? They don't buy gas, so how do they pay to play? Do pilots pay by the landing or the vector? Would this drive more VFR flying to not talk to ATC/file a flight plan? Can ATC still give a pilot a ph number to call or is more like a security guard pulling you over for speeding? Most importantly, what effect will this have on safety. And this is stuff off the top of my head. My point is, some things need to be govt, especially items that serve a broad public. While it doesn't mean it can't work, waiving your hand and saying privatize it doesn't equal lower costs to the tax payers.

What I expect from a quibbler... I'll ask the mods to create a quibbling emoji for next time.

Quibbling.

What if said GS13 salary is an ATC Controller?

People that live paycheck to paycheck and can't pay their mortgage/rent will likely be the 1st ones to lose their shit. The fact that this is self imposed will make people even more angry. When there's enough anger, it'll get fixed.
