    Speaking of attorney generals, Trump's AG from his first term was William Barr. William Barr's dad was Donald Barr, a guy that hired Epstein for a job he was in no way qualified for at a private school. Donald Barr also wrote a weird sci fi book about child sex slaves. William Barr was supposed to recuse himself from overseeing Epstein stuff but ended up not doing it.

    But I'm sure those DOJ files have nothing embarrassing in there because something something Biden

    And Bondi, the current AG, was the Florida AG when Epstein got that strangely lenient plea deal. She also dropped an investigation into Trump about something else following a large campaign donation

    She dropped the investigation into the Trump “University” fraud while other state AGs were able to get settlements for the victims. I use the term “victims” loosely because you had to be a mark if you didn’t know that whole thing was a con.

    Rumor has it management received a briefing to distract and steer conversation away from the shut down.

    They want you to forget about it.

    That sounds really stupid, so you’re probably telling the truth.

    This may have worked prior to the shutdown but what else is there to talk about out but missing paychecks and the ******** people in charge. I guess inept union leadership too.

    The funniest part, the briefing is supposed to be “confidential”. Shhh. 🤫

    God I HATE myself for doing this because I hate when others do this... but I heard from a very reliable source today that the shutdown will persist into mid September. This was from the janitor as he vacuumed the tracon while we had 25 planes on the scope and im 90% sure he was drunk, but there it is. Its out there for the world now.

    Are you a member of the club that received said briefing?

    Give us the details! Are you supposed to take off your shirt & start running around? Shout really loud while on the phone? Remind Controllers of the white book days? Tell people their leave is denied? What suggestions did they offer?

    Was this at the FAA sup party in Vegas?

    I'm so glad to hear that you have a wacky janitor too. Does yours also claim to have swords buried around town, in the event of an apocalyptic breakdown of society?

    We have Controllers who claims that. Usually we don't have a janitor.

    How do you not have a janitor!? I know a facility with only 3 CPCs, and even they have a wacky janitor!

    Republicans have House, Senate & White House. One-party control of the entire federal government, but they can’t do something as simple as keep the government running? That’s a great message as we soon head into 2026, a midterm year.

    An appropriations resolution requires 60 votes. Dems don’t have a majority on either side of Congress sure, but I definitely wouldn’t say they don’t have any leverage here. Otherwise the GOP would’ve done their typical thing and just passed this. Which is all they want to do, meanwhile Dems want to argue over pork for ACA subsidies. Just like the Republicans did to try to fund the wall. You do realize they could just cave and then revisit this for deliberation on the floor another time right? Instead they want to leverage a shutdown over it. This one is not a GOP problem and I don’t think it’s nationally perceived the way you think it is.
