    Everyone apply for ICE!

    Either the system gets so bogged down they can’t recruit anyone, or we end up outnumbering them. Either way, we resist them.

        Read the fine print for the sign-on bonus to make sure. Either sounds like a worthy use of time, but everyone needs to decide for themselves what they’re willing to do for the resistance; don’t pick a fight just because some guy on the internet said it was a good idea.

        Whatever your choice, you’re the only one who will suffer the consequences of it, so it only needs to satisfy you.

        If just one ICE agent in 50 were a low-key saboteur just quietly, “accidentally” fucking up every single thing that comes their way, it would be disastrous for ICE

    The Minnesota subreddit apparently knows ICE Agent Greg Bovino.

    Hello, Minneapolis resident here but I didn’t always live in Minneapolis. Once, long ago I lived in a quiet little mountain town of Boone, NC. Guess who else grew up there? A pathetic squat little toad named Gregory Bovino. Well, that squat little toad grew up to be a squat little Nazi toad who has decided to come to my beautiful adopted home to torture, murder, and terrorize my friends and neighbors. He is personally going door to door, so if you see him, here’s a few very specific things from home you can politely yell at him:

    “Hey Greg! Remember how your Dad murdered a woman in Blowing Rock while driving drunk? Like father like son I guess.”

    It’s all proud boys and other fascist groups. They are now all going round terrorizing America. A fascist’s wet dream.

      An army has fitness tests and boot camps to filter out people unable (or unwilling) to follow orders. This is just them blindly opening the door to meet impossible hiring targets so the Whitehouse nut jobs don’t yell at them

      The army actually puts the effort into make sure they don’t hire psychos. You want people who will follow orders and not just go off and do their own thing because they like power.

        A guy literally put their reason for joining “to kill muslims” and was trained to do so, then sent to do so. Then the army acts like this is an isolated event when he gets caught murdering entire families.

    Ok so I can’t read the actual whole article because apparently it’s paywalled but from the bit I was allowed to read (and the writing style seems to pad out quite a bit so it never actually gets really to the point) seems to indicate that they are just trying to hit targets which is why they’re not checking people.

      Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller has demanded a daily quota of scalps, and they haven’t been able to come close, even with their openly Unconstitutional tactics, because his quota is comically high. So PeeWee Himmler is demanding a comically high number of agents to accomplish it.

      He’s a psychopath who probably goes into screaming fits at the slightest provocation, so they are desperate to keep the lid on his fury, so they are hiring as many breathing bodies as possible, no matter what it takes.

      I’m definitely too old, but they have a really good signing bonus, and I could use the money, so now I’m considering signing up, just for the money, and the fun. I’d love to get in there, collect a fat paycheck, and be ridiculously incompetent at the job. It’s a government job, they won’t fire me, and they need warm bodies really badly. So they’ll just probably stick me in a dark office somewhere where I can doze all day, and scroll my phone, and fuck up everybody’s paperwork on the computer. Maybe I’ll bring my guitar into the office to play while the boys are out building up their charges for their future court cases.

      BTW, they get 47 days of training. Do you know why its that specific number? Because Trump is the 47th president. That means someone decided to make the training period that length because they knew Trump would hear about it, and they wanted to get that little rimjob in to please him.

      What a bunch of fucking losers.

    This is pedo Antoinette’s SA. The SA in Germany terrorized the Jews and opposition into submission by the time the Gestapo took over. The SA was considered undisciplined and the SA leader was killed in the night of the long knives. Members of the SA that didn’t make the cut were sent to fight Hitlers imperialist wars or man the concentration camps.

      So I guess the question at this point is, will there be a “gestapo” to take over from the SA, or will this be the extent of it?

        It certainly looks like facism is winning at this point. I don’t see how we get out of this without armed resistance but maybe I’m wrong idk

          How do you come to this conclusion? What I see is the administration consistently failing to execute on their domestic agenda and backing down. Their National Guard deployments were shut down by the courts. ICE is nowhere close to meeting their stated goals, and becoming less popular by the hour. They can’t even fill the positions they have, nevermind growing it larger with the new budget. Even Jimmy Kimmel is still on the air.

          I’d say it’s 50-50 at this point, which is an improvement over a few months ago.

          There are a LOT of cracks in the MAGA walls, even other MAGAs are starting to question what’s going on, and they are almost certainly going to be brought down by their own virtuosic incompetence. The problem is the damage they’ll do along the way, so we have to shorten their decline as much as possible. We can’t afford a long drawn out fight.

          It starts with the Midterm. election, which Trump has to stop. The Democrats are almost certainly going to win in a bloodbath of possibly historic proportions, and take the House Majority, possibly the Senate, and take control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. That would kick off a two year period of impeachments of all the Trump all stars - Noem, Hegseth, Homan, etc., maybe even Clarence Thomas. They wouldn’t get convicted in the Senate, but they’d be forced to explain themselves in front of the American people. They’d also kill his legislative agenda, and substitute their own.

          Trump can’t have that happening, so he’s going to do anything he can to rationalize suspending elections, and that is a BRIGHT RED LINE that can’t be allowed under any circumstances.

            There’s a very real and very disturbing possibility that the Democrats will choose not to prosecute the criminals, or at least not fully root out the problem, in the name of “national unity” or whatever

              Imagine if we allowed Hitler to escape, didn’t bother to prosecute him, then let him retake power a few years later?

              We have to answer to America, the World, and History, and we can’t squander our responsibility the next time.

                Wait… didn’t you already do that?

                Also… Germany kinda also did that didn’t they?

                I’m no history buff, but… (no, really, I’m not)
