How much more proof do we need that ICE is to Trump was the SS was to Hitler: his private lawless paramilitary force?
ICE will end up doing what the SS did. It's bound to happen. And it will happen all the more easily because they're not the best and brightest by a long shot, and it's about to get a lot worse.
The fact that they're offering hiring bonuses that are more than my annual salary in EMS should be all the proof you need that we're fucked.
This isn't about immigration and it's not going to stop if and when the immigrants are gone.
the bonuses seems to be over a period of years, i doubt its just give them upfront. trump admin is probably going renege on some of these bonuses.
Trump doesn't care about fiscal responsibility.
I'm curious if I can get inside as a saboteur..
I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't do anything bad to another person. They'd know
I've had a few coworkers eyeing the nurse rates but like. I already can't stomach corrections even though I love the population. I can't imagine this is going to be any better.
Apparently they stopped offering it lol
They're now the most well funded domestic law enforcement agency to exist in the world, ever. With the sole task of deporting non-citizens.
What happens when there aren't any more non-citizens to deport? Well they sure as hell are going to find SOME way to justify all that funding, don't you think?
It's funny because they're already arresting citizens
First they came for...
Hopefully all of these ice agents will face something like nuremberg trials. I think they hanged a lot of the original nazis? Or maybe it was firing squads?
Only the top Nazis and the most egregious underbosses. Hundreds of thousands of former SS, waffen SS and Gestapo officers went through the denazification process for a few months, during which they underwent a kind of reverse brainwashing - which also served as a probationary period to make sure they weren't ultra-Nazis trying to hide their true feelings - then they got reabsorbed into German civilian society.
Other German-occupied countries went through the same process. France for example, had roughly half a million civil servants who previously worked for the Vichy regime - some of them having done some pretty unsavory things.
It's one of the great untold shameful stories of those countries, that everybody at the time swept under the rug because they - understandably - desperately wanted to move on, and also because, like it or not, the countries simply couldn't function without rehabillating those disgusting people and their former skills.
Sounds like we should have gone harder. Maybe this time we will.
Though I would probably be pretty happy to see like trump and Mike Johnson convicted and executed by firing squad, even if a bunch of others escaped.
trump and Mike Johnson convicted and executed by firing squad
Trump will probably die of old age, sadly. Vance might get to be tried though, if he takes over the regime.
But they won't be shot. They'll be hanged. Execution by firing squad is a military "distinction" - at least when it's carried out as part of a lawful sentencing process - and it's considered one notch above hanging, which is reserved for common criminals and is applied to particularly disgusting characters as a mark of shame.
That's why a lot of Nazis were hung rather than shot. I don't think we'll think of high-ranking MAGA officials as worthy of a firing squad.
I didn't know that. I just read on Wikipedia
Göring made an appeal asking to be shot as a soldier instead of hanged as a common criminal, but the court refused.
which is interesting and aligns with what you said
Insult to injury. Soothes the sense of justice to imagine the humiliation and anger nazis could have felt when taken to the gallows
I would be fine with a firing squad for every single neoconfederate, if it meant every single neoconfederate. Best for the bastards to be quickly removed from society enmasse, so that decent people can get on with rebuilding society without them.
As an ordinary dude, the only real difference I see with hanging and bullets is how much time and suffering leads to the final result. I have better things to do, such as working a job that a neoconfederate can no longer fill.
I voted they should be creatively hanged
rather than dropping down through a trapdoor, the condemned would be violently jerked into the air by means of a system of weights and pulleys
Combine it with a trebuchet and Wile E Coyote the bastards.
drawn and quartered
I'm not too hung up on the how at the moment
Wow 18+ is very generous! These guys target much younger than that for much fucking worse. Heck those are adults.
At 18, hardly. And you're certainly not adult enough at 18 to be given the power to ruin other people's lives.
"Contractor"
Bounty hunter. Mercenary.
Kidnapper, human trafficker, genocidal foot soldier
Traitor.
So much money spent on ice employees to guard a woman and baby as if they were high profile prisoners
Dude, they’re brown. That’s like, serious or something.
Wait till ICE finds out that there are brown people in heaven...
I honestly see heaven as some sort of eternal HOA. I cannot imagine that being a desirable eternity. Send me to hell with all the fun brown people they hate.
Trump is a domestic terrorist and ICE is his Gestapo.
The US is a terrorist state, surely, if the leadership are terrorists.
Always has been, just now the facde has been dropped
And SA and SS
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Da fellow Amerikan, it certainly could not be the trumpers. That would make too much sense.
Both voted for it, but protest-non-voters are under the delusion they didn't vote for when in fact they did.
They actually didn't not vote for it.
Narrator: "They did in fact vote for this."
I did , I din't see republicans changing til they see the consequences of their haha actions, and democrats didnt let us fking vote?
didn't bernie win but the dnc said fuck yall your vote doesnt matter we pick who we run
The dems used every tool at their disposal to make sure Bernie lost the primary in 2016 and 2020, and canceled the primary in 2024.
Arguably Bernie got as many primary votes as he did (a good showing but a legitimate loss) because inside politics had cleared the field of more compelling challengers to Clinton. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/14/16640082/donna-brazile-warren-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-rigged
Non voters vote for whatever happens
