It is unbelievable that they are considered the better party for economic issues.
When will the average American learn that no effective taxes on corporations and the massively wealthy, along with rapidly increasing concentration of pay increases to the very top, is completely against their own self-interest?

Crafty_Ish1973 on
Yes, please. By all means, just try to halt all international air traffic to NYC, Chicago, LA, and every other major city that Republicans cry about. See how long it lasts before the economy takes a hit.

LOL I’m imagining what would happen if this is somehow executed and then all the Atlanta, GA flights were redirected to a place like Mobile, Alabama. NYC flights to JFK and Newark moved to where exactly? Like maybe the airport at Wilkes-Barre, PA since it’s in a reddish county?
It also seems pretty off that this would be a unilateral DHS decision and not collaborative with Secretary of Transportation MTv Guy Duffy and/or the actual airlines and how it would impact on their operations and of course, profit on top of the already spiked Jet fuel costs.

I wonder who told this plumber to do this? (nothing wrong with the trades, just that this guy is out of his element and is a stooge being directed to do things)

Party of small government.

Is there still a transportation secretary that might fight him over this?
I know in these corrupt courts you often see different cabinet members struggle against each other

Is it Mark*Wayne*? Or Mar*Kwayne*? I like the latter. It sounds a tad Black-ish. He would *love* that.
A third pronunciation would be “fuckwad.”

Airport that isn’t in a left leaning city.

Quick question, which cities with international airports aren’t sanctuary cities? Even in red states most of the larger cities have sanctuary policies, what airports would this leave?

Take that world cup and Olympics!

Yeah, no.
Trump always TACOs when big corpos tell him to, and there’s no way airlines will stand for this.

We all already knew Markwayne was deeply stupid. But I didn’t understand he was this deeply stupid.
Even the GOP ain’t going to want that. They are just trying to drive out anyone who isn’t with them via religious ferver.

Of all the stupid Donald Trump things, this might be the most hilarious. I sincerely hope they do it. The chaos would be fascinating.

only sanctuary cities basically have INTL flights.
unless your metro has millions of people you have to puddlejump your way across the country

The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong in this Markwayne, fresh in his job and atop Mount Stupid.

Most of these cities are hubs for the 3 major airlines. It doesn’t surprise me that a hick moron named Markwayne doesn’t understand that most of the people traveling internationally aren’t ending their trip at their port of entry. Sorry business travelers, a dumbass who inherited a plumbing business doesn’t like that city you spend 3 hours in on your way back from New Delhi or Tokyo, no more travel for you.
maybe-an-ai on
So LA, New York, and Chicago, are no longer international airports? Sounds like a great plan who takes all that traffic?

That’ll go over really well in Seattle as we prepare to welcome travelers for the World Cup

FYI they are cheering this in the conservative subs. This is absolutely about restricting movement and punishing blue states. They are laughing about liberal elites being unable to return home from their European vacations. I almost hope they do it so we can go ahead and watch this nation break apart for good.

Wow I’d say that guy is dumber than a sack of bricks, but that would be unfair to bricks… bricks are at least useful. I really really hope they try it, a major disruption to business travel and what’s left of tourism travel would be a big step forward to cave in the American economy.

Are they having a competition for dumbest idea at the whitehouse? someone was like “i see your ‘start a war with iran’ and raise you ‘cripple international travel across the whole country'”

But also… why? Feds already are in charge of immigration through airports. Is Mullins saying their own employees can’t be trusted in certain cities?

Stopping international flights to NYC, LA, Boston, Chicago? Lol He really is the dumbest one.
Mecha-Dave on
Yeah, just turn off SFO/OAK. That will be totally fine for the economy. No unforeseen impacts, I’m sure.
The Feds already have full control inside the airport, by the way – so I’m not sure what this is supposed to achieve. If he wants ICE to go terrorize the airports he can just do that.
Edit: Wait, what international airports are in Red States? Are there any?
Edit Edit: I looked it up and due to there being sanctuary cities in Red States the airport options would only be DFW in Dallas, LAS in Nevada, SJC in Utah, ATL in Atlanta, and TPA and MIA in Tampa/Miami Florida.
questron64 on
Oh, I know. Let’s start a pointless war in the middle east and cause an oil shortage and then, get this, we’ll shut down major international hubs because some cities refuse to enforce laws they have no obligation to enforce. Yeah, the economy will *love* this!
aldoraine000 on
Cool. Cool. Am I reading this correctly? The dipshit Okie wants to stop international flights into “left-leaning” sanctuary cities?
I’m sure all the multinational corporations based on the west coast will totally love this. I *never*, *ever* want to hear from conservatives how they are good for business. These dumb MFers wouldn’t know how to run a banana stand.

This is so comically shortsighted, I can’t even call this some great plan. It’s straight-up raw, unprocessed weapons-grade incompetence. Imagine bankrupting an entire industry, hobbling countless others, and disrupting air traffic ***worldwide*** for what is essentially a get-back at the libs. Absolute madness.

A genius way to bankrupt every airline.
Republicans will do anything to ruin the economy.
