Breaking: Trump says he will order DHS to "immediately" pay TSA agenst as partial shutdown persists

[senseandsensibility]

Guess the Rs leaving on another two week vacation with no resolution to this issue was too much for him.

[Deuxcents]

1. The optics are so bad he had to be forced to do the right thing. He should have done this weeks ago

It could have been done weeks ago but he instructed his team to not negotiate with the Dems and now the public knows what he’s done. No worries, tho..he’s gonna make sure he’s the hero

2. Congress handles the money!

Where the fuck does chump get off?

Arrest him for blackmail and extortion! Pass my bill or else!

[SSJVegeta]

3. Dems should immediately introduce a law reinforcing this funding

And see how quickly it gets blocked

[cachukis]

9. Write the law, if possible, to mirror the executive order.

[SSJVegeta]

10. Exactly

They want them to challenge it in court so they can make them look like they are against the funding.

Dont challenge it. Write the last and get the GOP to either get on-board or derail the EO themselves by fighting the funding in congress.

4. A week ago Elon said he'd pay them. ????

President Donald Trump announced Thursday he would try to bypass Congress and unilaterally order TSA agents paid amid the ongoing Department of Homeland Security funding crisis after 40 days of airport chaos failed to produce a deal with Democrats.

In a characteristic Truth Social screed, Trump framed the move as a heroic act of executive authority while simultaneously blasting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats for the crisis. His own demands to tie DHS funding to his voter ID bill blew up negotiations earlier this week.

"The Radical Left Democrats, and their 'Leader,' Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter from Prisons, Mental Institutions, and Insane Asylums, those that are Drug Dealers, and thousands of Murderers, many of whom killed more than one person," Trump said, repeating an array of false and misleading claims.....

The announcement comes after TSA agents missed multiple paychecks, wait times at some airports topped four hours, and Senate Republicans publicly expressed frustration with the president's handling of the impasse. Outgoing Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) called Trump's demands "impossible," while Sen. Cynthia Lummis admitted she had "no idea" how the standoff would end.

6. When Democrats fight this, guess who gets blamed?

We all know who right?

[fujiyamasan]

8. Democrats don't need to fight this

My guess is it’ll be tied in litigation. The SC will offer a stay with no reasoning as they allow the administration to do what they want, while dragging it all out.

But yeah I’m sure democrats will be blamed regardless by the media.

[Retrograde]

7. Using what for money?

Congress makes the budget and appropriates funds where needed. So far, they have not passed legislation to fund TSA. So where is the money coming from? I doubt Donnie's going to dig into his own pockets.

[dweller]

11. Bypass Congress ?

Hell he does that twice before he’s done on his golden toilet daily
