    More #FakeNews from @CNN. Security operations at airports have not been impacted by a non-existent sick out. CNN has the cell numbers of multiple @TSA public affairs professionals, but rather than validate statistics, they grossly misrepresented them. https://t.co/PzVeoIBt5R

The home of fake news strikes again.

Did this House vote on a budget  or a Continuation Bill yet?

Yes, but McConnell knows they won't be signed, so they're not being brought to the Senate floor.

Hmmmm..... lemmmeeeessseeee here....

TSA screeners .... are government employees, right?

And... they get paid sick days.... right....?

So.... they can call in sick, then stay home and STILL get paid.... right....?

But... if they worked, they will STILL eventually get full pay anyway.... right....even if that payment is deferred until after the shutdown is over?

Where's the difference here.... (sooner or later, I'll get it figured out) ??
Wait a minute !
Why work at all, when you can call in sick and get paid for it ??
