And so it begins...

[kentuck]

ICE agents storm into our airports to assist the TSA with security. They walk around like the cocks on the block. They hover over the agents as they try to do their jobs. They intimidate the traveling public. They slam women to the floor and handcuff them, in front of their children, all the while yelling profanities.

This is a test. If they can enter our airports and intimidate people, what's to keep them from entering our polling places. This is the beginning and how we react will determine what they do in the future. Republicans pray to their God that the American people do not wake up from this nightmare. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay.

Democrats have offered to fund TSA separately in order to keep the air traffic moving, but Republicans have voted it down several times, at the orders of their leader, Donald J Trump.

There is presently a full-scale attack on our voting system and the Republicans are putting their faith in Donald Trump to save their jobs and careers, by whatever means necessary.

This is where we are on March 24th, 2026.

1. Trump is demonstrating that he has a personal Army he can send anywhere in the US.

And they will do whatever he tells them to do.
No limitations or restraints.

[kentuck]

2. They are paid well with taxpayer dollars...

...and are receiving large bonuses to sign up. It is more money than most have them have ever seen. Most are having a difficult time not wearing their masks and trying to stay away from cameras.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes Trump's personal mercenary army is paid for by the US taxpayer.

And he will pardon all of them for their crimes.
They have little or no training.
Their mission, is to kill, harm, intimidate, bully all of us into compliance.

[popsdenver]

22. Just like

Hitler's SS GESTAPO..........

Doesn't DeSantis have HIS own personal 100 person police force down in Florida......

[GiqueCee]

9. The new recruits...

... get all excited about big bonuses until they find out that they come with a long list of onerous "conditions".

[malaise]

3. THIS

Rec

[Volaris]

7. Daily Beans is breaking this morning that ICE in airports IS INDEED,

A test run for sending them to polling places, recommended to Trump BY STEVE BANNON.

Come hell or high water, I want that fat fascist asshole in a Congressional witness chair, govt employee or not.

I'll say this, dealing with ICE will result in the most respect the TSA has ever gotten from the American Public in their history, I guess there's that lol....

[Farmer-Rick]

14. He's also showing us what he's going to do

At the voting booths. Bye-bye democracy and all pretense of a real voting system.

[The Wizard]

26. Just as Trump has ICE, Hitler had his Brown Shirts.

Never forget and never again.

[calimary]

30. Indeed! Never forget and Never again!

Thank you, The Wizard! What a great slogan!

[FarPoint]

5. Mission as I see it....

to evoke national outrage, chaos, terror and intimidation.... Distrations are his weapon.

[LymphocyteLover]

6. it is madness, that i don't know how it ends. Republicans are sick cowards. Shitblimp won't sign any new bills

until his insane SAVE America Act passes so not clear how the TSA funding gets resolved. Shiitblimp isn't listening to anyone sane. So the US airline business is fucked up the wazoo???

[EuterpeThelo]

11. Because

if he takes no action on a bill passed by Congress, it automatically becomes law after ten days. That's assuming they can actually FUNCTION and get a bill passed to fund TSA, FEMA, etc., of course.

[LymphocyteLover]

24. Thanks--that sounds like a relatively decent outcome, considering all the bad ways it can go

[Dave says]

29. Are you sure about that?

I thought that was a “pocket veto”.

[EuterpeThelo]

33. As long as

Congress is in session at the time.

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. ShitBlimp made me laugh - TY.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Fascism marches forward.

[The Wizard]

27. Goosesteps would be more accurate.

[JohnnyRingo]

10. I believe it's now a federal police force. A Gestapo of sorts

Not only for deployment at polling precincts, but future "illegal" protests and mass rallies..

[Tbear]

13. Stop Flying America

If you don’t have to fly, don’t.
Shut the airlines down.

[BWdem4life]

18. That works (for some) but what happens when they come to the polling places?

[Tbear]

23. My thoughts were that it would send an economic lesson (thedonald seems to notice those)

That ICE presence equals pain.

[democrank]

15. Each day we seem to lose more rights and gain more monitoring.

Trump’s private police force is a threat to all of us, a chilling danger to our democracy.

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Well, at least they know they're free. . .

Incredible scene: Travelers wait on hours-long security line at George Bush International Airport in Houston while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blasts through the speakers.

17. Wait until he makes it our new national anthem.

[1WorldHope]

19. Hmmm isn't there a big protest coming up on March 28th?

I bet they would love to slam zone t protesters to the ground who were flying to DC. Of you are going to DC, drive.

[republianmushroom]

20. The sliver lining to trump's SS Gestapo at airports,

now the upper middle class and middle class is having to deal with them.

[displacedvermoter]

28. And what they are seeing isn't very impressive,

quite honestly.

[Prairie_Seagull]

21. I find it interesting that ICE thugs are sans masks at airports.

Will this be the policy on voting day? Hmmmm

[oberle]

34. I'm hoping people are taking lots of pictures of the non-masked iceassholes

Hoping something can be done with the pictures.

[Prairie_Seagull]

36. May be smart to record them from a gate

you are not about to use. Keep eyes open if attempting this. All the cameras at an airport anyway, should curtail some of the aggressiveness, Of course masks off will work against the idea of to much mischief or Death.

The idea we have to even discuss this makes me want to get comfortably numb.

[ChicagoTeamster]

25. If more TSA agents stop showing up bacause they're fed up with having paid goons over their shoulders

while they aren't getting paid, especially paid goons who can't and don't help with anything, maybe they'll pull them out of the airports.

[GenThePerservering]

31. 'so it begins'

Is getting pretty tired.

[LiberalLovinLug]

32. This is the plan. To cause chaos at the polling stations

They will do a similar takedown like they did with the mother and child at the airport......only right in the middle of a lineup to vote. Probably to multiple stations. The news will dutifully report it, left leaning channels will amplify it the most. The word will get out. Stay away from voting if you are a new immigrant who doesnt pass the darkness shade test.

[Deuxcents]

35. This is control..mental abuse having to wait hours with musical propaganda blaring like N Korea 🤬
