LaGuardia was shut down for a while today due to staffing issues.

If someone is going to be inconvenienced, it should be Democrat congressmen. Shift shaft accordingly.

Great, so the layoff countdown resets back to ZERO?! If true, what is wrong with Trump? Hopefully, this is a statement on Congress passing such a bill, which would require Trump to veto it.

“Both sides will shriek victory.”

Yep. “He blinked.”
“No, she blinked.”

I suspect we the People are screwed again.

Click the link, and it goes to a Mediaite article saying that the Drudge Report says the agreement has been reached.

That is a pretty tight circle, there...

They need something that Trump will not veto.

No one is getting RIFed. Trump already said that’s not happening. Conservative fantasy, nothing more.
