What a fucking embarrassment. American troops are being sent into harm’s way in Iran and this fucking idiot is doing his double jerkoff dance while waving a sword, like a drunk uncle at a wedding. This is who has the nuclear codes. America is a parody.

Call me a radical, but NO. We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots. We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve.

"The wait time estimates shown below are as reported by the airports..., and they may not be accurate." And I'm worried about the ones that haven't reported TSA wait times -- in L.A., Las Vegas, Chicago, NYC, etc. P.S. Atlanta says 4 hours?!

Travelers are facing long lines at airport security as the partial government shutdown has strained T.S.A. staffing. The New York Times is tracking the latest available wait times across the country.

Many of America’s founders were fiercely against taking steps that would make its government officials appear like kings, and that included featuring them on the country’s coins.
