You mean he's not actually leaving the department of mnlftsiunbf gvcvh fgfrdvbbgi building?
Easy for you to say. In BC, Canada some buildings like hospitals have signs in Silax, the language of the local Nsyilxcn people.
Myxl?
department of mnlftsiunbf gvcvh fgfrdvbbgi
I mean we already have a department literally named for a dog meme. Naming the next one by facerolling on the keyboard wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
If we can get it to say its name backwards, will it go away?
Let's try it. Ahem: pmurT dlanoD esopeD
You need to be wearing fishnets for that to work.
are you sure the US government hasn’t just regressed to a seal surrounded by gibberish?
They do like their seals in the us government, makes for great/easy to design ~~POGs~~ coins. Unless you mean the animal, though i bet someone has a literal seal on a coin somewhere.
Unless you mean the animal
Pretty sure they mean the animal - we painted one orange and gave it to Putin as a gag gift, but then he sent it back with a bunch of strings attached. It developed a cult following who proceeded to elect the thing as president. It barks out gibberish pretty regularly, and every time it does, we lose more rights.
Pretty standard model of governance, right?
...right?
Most people have limits ; I can see this man finding out he has a very small moral code he cannot ignore.
Or he simply lost a bureaucratic turf war. There is a lot of reorganization going on , lots of power struggles. And he decided to whitewash and reinvent himself. Even if this guy is legitimate, there will be many of the later later
Don't resign, obstruct.
The good news is, anyone deciding to do this won’t make headlines; so especially as other agencies are wrapped into ICE’s mission, this might happen more often and we won’t hear about it.
I wasn't aware that it was specifically targeting criminals at all.
They have claimed that from the start and it's the standard conservative defense, but at no time has it appeared to be true.
If they're saying it, it's a lie.
Now I wonder what the guy thought when he signed up for the job.
Probably what all "good cops" think, "I can change the system from within" or "It's just a couple outlier bad cases, but I'll make sure to only prosecute actual bad people"
Which isn't a bad idea really. It's an admirable goal.
Doesn't work, but it's an admirable thought.
If enough good cops rebel then they can drive the bad cops out. Dream scenario
The issues are systemic and won't be solved by replacing people.
As one example, it would be 100% legal in many states for a bad cop to rape a prisoner. No matter how many good cops testify against them, there would be no legal basis for prosecuting them. At best, department policy would give cause to fire them. Then they'll get a job in some county with an elected sheriff who ran on being Tough On Crime (tm).
And then promptly get beaten: https://sh.itjust.works/post/41445902
Dude is now a Police Comissioner, but idk how much reform he can actually do, its not like he can fire 50% of the department
I mean the way I see it, you have to disband the entire thing then form something new with more requirements.
Perhaps just abolish the police and let the people police themselves with a militia, seems better that way.
Gonna keep the border safe and stop bad people coming into the country illegally.
Instead (or more likely, eventually), he got "gonna round up anybody who 'fits the description' and unperson them into the Dade-Collier concentration camp"
ICE isn't targeting criminals at all, because criminals shoot back and it's way easier to just arrest random brown people off the street and then deport them to death camps without due process.
Many criminal organizations are fully infiltrated and controlled by the government anyway
Like which ones? I need to know in case I need to do some criminaling but still want retirement benefits.
I have no idea, you'd have to be in the government to know that.
No one is allowed to change their opinion when conditions change or they learn new information. You form an opinion then hold on to it no matter what.
If you are referring to the title, my point was that this guy was already willing to accept being a step or three closer to evil than I would be, and probably than most of us would be. And still they went too far for him.
I was.
It's good that we cleared this up then.
When I started pouring the concrete for this slope, the builder assured me it would not be slippery.
No quarter. To the gulag with you.
He's not resigning in protest. All the other recent resignations are the same thing: their phase of work is over.
They handled the difficult part of setting up an apparatus of death quickly, now they hand it off to someone else to run it.
Trump was always against immigrants, minorities irrespective of whether they are illegal or not. Was the ICE official living under a rock all this time ?
