If U.S. airspace is shutdown the number of aviation deaths on the disgusting orange pedo's watch would be frozen in place.

This is good news, when COVID hit I was able to fly down the SFO runway. Perhaps I'll give LAX a go this time!

Perhaps you'll have the good sense to burst into flames, dumbass.

Congrats, MAGA. You've taken the US to the verge of failed state status far sooner than I anticipated.

The privately staffed towers are doing okay relative to the rest of the FAA facilities.

First cut off food assistance to millions, then ground all travelers from uniting with family on the busiest day of the year, and wonder why democrats swept the elections. What an egotistical moron!

Will never happen. Airlines will first take the tax money they are collecting for ticket sales and create a fund to pay controllers.

Airlines are low profit, highly levered businesses which cannot long survive cessation of their businesses (see also: aftermath of 9/11, The). Thousands of airline workers put on the dole just as Thanksgiving is coming along is a terrible look. Millions of Americans not being able to travel for the holidays is an even worse look.

The King's administration is coming up with cheap threat after cheap threat, and those threats sound crazier than the last. That may be a way to run a dictatorship, but as long as Americans have access to a polling place and a ballot, such threats and (possibly) actions will cause voters to vote Blue, from dog catcher to president...

But Trump is trying to get the people to riot (it has been harder than expected) so he can declare Martial Law and become supreme ruler. There will be no polling places and ballots.

Pres Trump on Shutdowns

9/30/13 - Who gets fired? It always has to be the top. Problems start from the top and have to get solved from the top. The President's the leader. Five years, 50 years, a 100 years from now, when they talk about the government shutdown, they're going to be talking about the President of the United States and who was the President at that time.

4/7/11 - If there was a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. I hear the Democrats are going to be blamed, and the Republicans are going to be blamed. I actually think the President would be blamed.

4/7/11 - I'm a deal man. I made hundreds and hundreds of deals and transactions. He never did deals before. How can you expect a man that is not a deal man, that never did a deal, other than, frankly, becoming President of the United States. He never did a deal. How is he going to corral all these people? I'd get everybody together, and we'd have a budget. The President of the United States has to get this done. The shutdown is pretty said because the whole world is looking at us and laughing at us.
