Thank you.

But while Andy Barr's fan fiction about this TSA adventure is obviously bullshit, it's more important to note that the underlying point he was making is also bullshit.

Because even Senate Republicans admit this whole thing could have been over by now if not for one man.

Donald Trump said no deal?

The dealmaker himself said no deal?

So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You'll take gifts from a country we're at war with, but you won't make a deal with the Democrats to keep the government running.

What if they offered you something really expensive?

Donald, what is it that you want?

What's so important that you'll keep us all waiting in security lines for a fortnight?

No, no, that's right.

Trump does not believe in mail-in cheating, all right?

If you want to cheat, you do it in person, okay?

But hey, but hey, Trump is standing on principle.

The man thinks voting by mail is an existential threat to democracy, full stop, period.

President Donald Trump cast a mail-in ballot in an upcoming Florida special election.

Semicolon.

asterisk, dollar sign, number four, exclamation point.

That's me cursing because Trump lies all the time.

So yes, you're gonna have to wait in line at TSA like it's a sneaker drop because voting.
