These Nazi dickheads, convened by Charles Koch and his rarefied ilk at the radical right Heritage Foundation, published a detailed 920 page blueprint for explicitly transforming the US to a fascist oligarchy — the infamous, largely implemented Project 2025. The liberty loving billionaire mantra is privatize and corporatize, for maximum profit for the few (fuck the many) and also, remove all regulations and immunize corporate wrongdoers (protect the super wealthy at all costs!).
Here’s the Project 2025 plan for the TSA (see link above at 191). Compare this to their long running plan for the destruction of the US Post Office, and every other agency dedicated to providing public services or aid to those in need.
TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA)
The TSA model is costly and unwisely makes TSA both the regulator and the regulated organization responsible for screening operations. As part of an effort to shrink federal bureaucracies and bring private-sector know-how to government programs, TSA is ripe for reform. The U.S. should look to the Canadian and European private models of providing aviation screening manpower to lower TSA costs while maintaining security. Until it is privatized, TSA should be treated as a national security provider, and its workforce should be deunionized immediately.
TSA could privatize the screening function by expanding the current Screening Partnership Program (SPP) to all airports. TSA would turn screening operations over to airports that would choose security contractors that meet TSA regulations and would oversee and test airports for compliance. Alternatively, it could adopt a Canadian-style system, turning over screening operations to a new government corporation that contracts screening service to private contractors… Blah blah fucking blah…

If he can do this, without Congress, (and we don’t know if he can or not, since the source is Fox News), why didn’t this painted orange turd do it a month and a half ago? Rhetorical question…

“I do believe I’ll be having the honor of taking Cuba,” Trump said. “That’s a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. Whether I free it, take it. I think I can do anything I want with it, you want to know the truth.”
