Delaware’s congressional delegation is an absolute disgrace. There has been no action whatsoever. No movement to hold Republicans accountable for the mess that the GOP controlled Senate has created. What the holy fuck are they doing? Carper…ok. He is on death’s doorstep. Rochester, a single statement laying blame equally at the feet of Democrats and Republicans who simply need to “cooperate” from December 22nd. 14 Days later? Nothing. Maybe her silence is a blessing since she thinks Democrats are equally culpable.
Coons’ the same old bullshit. He, no doubt, thinks he is working some behind the scenes magic by telling Republican buddies that right-thinking Democrats are ready to comply with whatever demands they have.
What on earth do they think they were sent to Washington to do? Sit around and wait for McConnell to allow them to speak up on behalf of the Delawareans who sent them to Washington? It is disgusting.
In what one official dubbed the “blue flu,” hundreds of blue-uniformed TSA officials have been calling out sick in recent days as the shutdown stretches on and their salaries go unpaid.
According to a Friday CNN report, the mass call-outs have hit New York’s JFK, Texas’ Dallas-Fort Worth and North Carolina’s Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham airports.
The problem will reportedly only worsen as the shutdown drags on and more paychecks are missed. And as workers call out to take care of children or find other sources of employment, remaining airport officials will have to make some serious decisions: long lines and wait times, or less security?
LBR entered Congress with a lot of fanfare but appears to be charting a course similar to Coons and Carper in its bland uselessness.
