    I read that it makes ICE bigger than the fucking Chinese army. It’s beyond obscene. One thing that I wonder about is… are there even enough racist sociopaths in this country to fill the ranks? You need a specific type of person to be willing to join ICE. It’s possible that there simply aren’t enough Americans who are willing to brutalize immigrants to use the $200 billion they were given.

      54 million MAGA out there. Plenty of jobs. They might not be able to run 50 feet without a smoke break, but they are there.

        In terms of pure numbers, yeah, there are plenty of MAGA out there to hire. But they need to be mentally and physically fit in order to join ICE and carry out these raids. I would be genuinely surprised if there were enough MAGA in this country who could pass the physical.

        I could be wrong. But if I’m right they might try hiring literal mercenaries for this, or just embezzle the funds. Or buy stupid militarized vehicles like police departments like to do.

          That’s why the police have the vehicles to begin with, most of them are ridiculously out of shape. I mean the typical shoe they wear are proof very few of them are actually fit enough to even try the activity of running.

      I still chose to blame the republicans.

      No one ever just blames them directly in these conversations. It’s always “blame the protest non-voters” or “blame the leftists” or whatever.

      Just go directly to blaming the people who gleefully voted for it. Everything else is just infighting and stupid.

        I blame both.

        I blame anyone who willingly stopped the bleeding of the wound. be it by their own stupidity or negligence, you are responsible for what is yet to come.

        every single one of you will get what’s coming to you. fascism doesn’t see borders or people. fascism is blind, and only follows strength in power. pray to your “god” and beg forgiveness all you want, it will do nothing for the hurt you have brought upon yourself.
