ICE is a wasteful “make work” jobs program for racist losers and dumbasses who can’t get one or hold one down anywhere else. It has ZERO return on investment. They can’t even accomplish a small fraction of their stated task. In fact, the entire DHS, including TSA and ICE is provably redundant, incompetent, and corrupt. (The OTHER reason these agencies were created was to hand out huge government contracts to assholes like Michael Chertoff)…
We don’t need these fucking people, and these agencies should be disbanded. The personnel should be trained to do construction, and they should be centrally employed by the government to build federally funded hospitals in rural communities (instead of shutting most of them down due to Medicaid cuts), and repairing the roads and bridges that are collapsing all over the country, as we see now n multiple headlines a year.
Make ‘em build houses. Call it “Department of Housing Security”.
They signed up to brutalize brown people, not build houses.
Perhaps they’ll accept a work detail in exchange for shortened prison sentences
I think ICE, with its astronomical budget, has two main functions for MAGA: to embezzle state funds, for example through private prison companies, and to set up a secret police force loyal to the regime.
Incidentally, as of November 15, the military will no longer be paid, which I would say fits in with the picture - but hey, private patrons are stepping in and distributing money "without any strings attached"...
One private patron stepped up n to donate $130 million to pay the troops, which works out to about $100 each. So, basically ramen noodles for a month.
More will certainly want to buy in.
It is also in the regime's interest for soldiers to be dissatisfied with ramen noodles instead of wages, because ICE has a budget that corresponds to the military spending of medium-sized countries now: Either soldiers with a fitting fascist mindset can be poached, and/or the military can be weakened as a potential opponent in the establishment of a dictatorship (no pay = layoffs, and these will mainly be people who have a problem with an autocratic America under an orange dictator).
I'm not from the US, but it all looks pretty grim to me.
Ice apparently has the 8th largest budget in militaries around the world. Gonna say it goes US, China, Russia, UK, Germany, India, France, Ukraine maybe (off the top of my head). Israel might be in there instead now too.
They are trying to be a private army for MAGA, along with the aforementioned grift payouts to prison companies.
It was Tim Mellon.
"Okay, TommyBoy - you don't mind if I call you TommyBoy do you? Of course you don't - so TommyBoy, here's what we're going to do. You're going to pay $130 million to pay our troops enough to buy some ramen soup for a month, and I'm going to give you ANYTHING you want. Hell, I just gave Argentina $40 billion, instead of health care for Americans, just so the SecTreas' friends wouldn't go belly up in their irresponsibly risky investment with a country that goes bankrupt every 3.5 years."
"My name is Timothy."
"What? No, it's TommyBoy now. So whaddaya say, TommyBoy, you in?"
"Sure, whatever you say, Your Excellency."
ICE is full of DEI hires. Or as I like to call them, DUI hires.
Or as I like to call them, Morons
One of the best lines in a movie to one of the most genuine laughs out there.
and repairing the roads and bridges that are collapsing all over the country
The state that they claim is a shit hole (Illinois) has some of the best infrastructure in the country despite having one of the most challenging climates for it. And it's only gotten better in the time since Pritzker took office. Crazy what progressive policy can do for the collective.
Construction? These people have no physical fitness whatsoever. That is a physically demanding job that they cannot do.
Ice agents: "Fuck those kids"
Republican lawmakers on the scene: "Do you think we have time?"
*them kids. Wouldn't want to think they use proper grammar!
Let's stop referring to AAVE as "improper".
You ever been to the South? "Them kids" is not the purview of AAVE.
If it's that prevalent, is it really improper at this point?
If the term "proper" bothers you, feel free to replace it with "standard" or "formal."
I hope Democrats realize that if they ever get back into power there will be an Epstein list situation where liberals demand the ICE payroll to be released so these traitors can't exist among us without repercussion and if they don't release it they'll be hearing "Why are Democrats protecting Nazis" just like we're hearing "Why are Republicans protecting pedophiles" right now.
Its easy to support it when you control it. I doubt that cycle will end if Dems get control again.
I want every last one prosecuted to the full extent of the law
Liberals are spineless though
Every last one of them needs a felony sentence. We don't need worthless dirt bags like that walking free and able to fully participate in society.
Yep.
Every future employer needs to know. It needs to be factored in for every social program they attempt to take advantage of. These are traitors violating our Constitutional rights. They should not be allowed to exist in America without repercussions.
Good thing for them they're doing everything in their power to prevent everything that you ever wanted from taking place and eliminating anybody with these opinions and the opinions themselves.
Fuck those terrorist. Americans need to take America back!!!!
Saving the children as usual
Where was the teargas? Am i blind?
The visible clouds must have blown away by the time this news team started their video, but it's clearly visible in the photo on top of this article discussing the same incident -

Thanks :)
I not see tear gas in video.
Yeah, also that dog seems very calm if he has tear gas in his eyes/nose
Is there a video? I hate these websites that show a picture you can't click. Give me a break...
Video: https://youtu.be/pB5yJHYzga4
Why would you share this video but beep out the fucks.
Anyway, you can shout all you want but at some point you got to get serious about the resistance.
I wonder when Americans are going to wake up.
#FrogsSlowlyBoiling
What would you do, specifically?
I dont belive in hell, but I hope that it exists for these fucks to go rot in (the ice losers obviously)
It doesn't. Make them suffer for their crimes now and stop hoping some magical entity will get them good someday. Rise up America, before your cou try is gone for good. It may already be too late...
oh, i thought they were just making halloween extra spoopy /s
Nope, just poopy.
ICE is protecting our community from aliens, demons, ghosts and Wednesday Adams.
Fester Adams is the real menace. He robbed a bank 3 times last month!
So only tricks, but no treats?
