Mr. President, it’s too much winning!
A man came up to me once, big man, strong man, with tears in his eyes and said. Mister President we are
waitingwinning too much, please Mister President we are tired ofwaitingwinning.
Good thing the US has a high speed railway network like China, Japan, Europe or Morocco, so you don’t need to get on a plane. Oh… wait…
I hear Elon Musk is getting right on that. These conservatives are so efficient and successful! Good thing we keep finding new tax breaks for them.
Why don’t they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?
It’s an airplane, not a grade school classroom.
You dont give up your right to free speech when you get on a plane, why around you give up the right to bear arms?

Is there any other country on earth that stops working altogether once a year?
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it’s to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt …
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department’s budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–2011_Belgian_government_formation
Thank you. To give another example, in Italy it is necessary to approve the budget by 31st of December. If this doesn’t happen the budget is controlled by the government but with limitations and only one month at a time. I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.
I agree for most countries.
The other option is if they fail to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic no confidence vote.
Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
The sad thing about this is that most Trump supporters probably don’t fly because either they’re always in their own bubble and/or can’t afford to. So they can’t relate to this, so it’s a non-issue sadly.
So they get to punish others for doing the things they choose not to do.
Again.
They don’t fly because God invented the car, Jesus built the highways and St Peter gave republicans the car keys.
Why share a plane with other Americans when you can just drive around, as god intended ?
Your get what you voted! Enjoy your fucking war.
I’d honestly just cancel my holiday instead going through that trauma.
wife and i have to fly out of LGA in may to go to daughter’s wedding. not looking forward to the travel. sigh.
people who think they can go though a US airport nowadays is a form of white entitlement
Just wait in the line like a grown up. You can do it!
did you mean Trump JFK Airport?
I wish he got an airport award!
I just created the “Me, I think he deserves an airport award” award and I’m honored to…
Anyway, squirrel!
Yeah but… Is America great again yet?
There are several terminals with security checkpoints, this does not represent “JFK Airport” as a whole. This shown terminal is T5, JetBlue’s terminal.
Edit: who downvoted, lol. I’ve been to JFK 4 times this week. Nothing I said is untrue. It literally says Jetblue check in on the sign. Go pound sand.
Have you visited the other terminals as well? Are they significantly better and this is an outlier, or is this typical peak hours for jfk right now?
Yes. Though I obviously didn’t tour the airport looking for problems. Delta’s was long but not awful. AA’s was relatively short. Didn’t see the international terminal. No idea what constitutes “peak”, but NY is heading into NY school’s spring break season, so things will get busy for the airports.
JFC
No, it’s JFK
Jesus Fucking Khrist
Woosh 😁
But sir, it appears that it is actually you that has been wooshed.
😭 plz help me understand
I was making a joke :D
I guess this is why /s is so prevalent these days, it’s very easy to be wooshed.
Well I tried to do a joke too, JFK => JFC jesus fucking christ 😅
Looks like we share the same brain cell, just opposite polarity xD
Upon careful consideration I may also have been wooshed. I don’t know what’s going on.
This is probably not far off from what it’s like to be at that airport right now.
I deliberately searched for this comment.
JFC it’s JFK! F dat, gonna go to KFC.
I’ve only been to JFK once, but I get the sense that the lines there always look like this. Not saying all the other stuff isn’t an issue, but don’t give JFK any credit. Hands down the worst airport I’ve been to. Avoid at all cost.
I can see you’ve never been to Newark
I mostly fly out of Newark. I’m not saying Newark is good, but nothing like what I saw at JFK. JFK was so bad, they had a staff member split the security line in half and escort us to another level of the airport. And the entire time at JFK people were trying to upsell us on CLEAR to skip the line.
I have never seen Newark move a security line, and I’ve never had someone try to sell me CLEAR WHILE IM ALREADY IN YHE SECURITY LINE. Never again JFK.
I flew put of newark yesterday and we waited longer to check our bag than to get through security. Maybe 10 minutes at the most
All three NY area airports are notoriously bad in every aspect lol.
IDK after the upgrades LGA has been pretty great
I’ve only been to LGA once, and a friend drove me, but it was a good airport experience. Half of my hate for JFK is just getting there. I might be biased towards LGA because I didn’t have to drive to LGA personally. But I was there after the renovation and it’s a nice terminal.
I flew out of JFK terminal 1 recently (not sure how much the terminals matter/differ as it was my first time flying from JFK) about 2 weeks ago and didn’t spend more than maybe 20-30 minutes in the TSA line? It really wasn’t long at all so hearing wait times of hours and such seems crazy to me.
My coworker noped out of a trip across country because they’d have a grandchild with them, and didn’t want any issues with missing flights, long waits, or ICE shenanigans. If they didn’t have their grandchild, they probably would have taken the train instead.
Edit: more info
Yeah guys send the Gestappo. They fix everything
Are the flights backed up to, or are they just leaving half empty all the time?
The flights are probably a mixed bag. There are also cases where they just open up the lines and let everyone through without passing through security screening. It’s happened a few times, though I’ve never gotten so lucky.
Could you imagine if you were on hour 10 of waiting through the line, just managed to get to the front and then they told everyone to just go through? I’d cuss someone out hard.
