Agreed. I can only imagine what their personal conversations are like.

Serj: Okay, this one's going to be about the prison industrial complex.

John: Yeah! More prisons! More prisons!

Serj: Dude, no. Here, take these. Why don't you go color something pretty while the adults talk.

John: [crayon munching noises]

Predators make a lot of sound when defending their territory. Perhaps T. Rex wasn't hunting.

That's some 5D, non-euclidean chess right there. Start a charity that only pays out to ICE veterans who make less than the standard retirement amount, so it only covers those who are unable or unwilling to do the job. Restrict the posters to photos and names only so it's clear that the charity isn't soliciting hostile action against ICE agents but still gives potential victims enough information to evade most assaults. The "Blue Lives Matter" mob probably wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Even if they do, the resultant infighting will still distract from their potential targets.

"For just a dollar a day, you can save this ICE agent, John Smith, and his family from a life of poverty if he ever leaves. He gave everything. Please just give something."

[Cue Sarah Mclaughlin] "In the arms of the angel..."

You think ICE would do that? They'd just lie about their intent and achievements?

We were warned no later than 2001:

Thanks! It's still better than Fox News, at least slightly.

"US throws surprise military parade in Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans attend. Traffic jam as spectators laying supine in pine boxes clog the roadways."

To be fair, he was known to carry a pointed stick.

No no no! We have to protect the freedom of law(ish) enforcement so we can have the freedom to freely free ourselves from the oppression of people who put paper signs on telephone poles.

That's a really good point. If it's such a terrible crime, let the public see it and decide for themselves.

It seems that way now more than ever.

I would love to see that. I've only seen a photo of one in the Fox News article.

The Fox article does have an image of one of the posters, if that's what you're asking. Sorry if it seems like I'm being obtuse.

The US did so much more damage to itself in response to 9/11 than the event itself, maybe even more than its perpetrators hoped for.

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Would you rephrase that?

If you haven't seen the drone footage yet, I recommend it. Unfortunately, it seems that it's only on Fox, and I won't utter their links here. The video illustrates the situation of the country really well. It also reminds me that this unusual situation didn't just drop out of the blue. It's been building for decades. Also, many news outlets seem to be still keeping the "both sides" perspective on these outrageous acts, as the Overton Window keeps moving right using neutral language for bizarre power grabs.

Naw, man. You know how it goes. Worked it as job, waiting for somethin' better. Years went by until I got roped into management. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. I'm supervisin' the night shift and teaching Science Level 2: The New Testament. Boy, let me tell you, those kids can move some product, both over the counter and under it, if you know what I mean.
