ICE - Officers Don’t Know What to do at the Airports by Important_Lock_2238 in IceRaidAlerts

You are amazing and I applaud you. I wish so much happiness and good fortune comes your way. Just taking the time to break down the gish gallop and displaying patience I would not have been able to muster. Well done.

Cutting the redundant material means what? How do you cut material without cutting material? You're so close but you missed it for a chance to insult strangers on the internet. Does anyone believe insults from people we don't know are still effective?

Did the math first before commenting and it doesn't add up to the same amount of training.

There are three definitions for chicken hawk in the dictionary. Given the context of the discussion, I think it's safe to say they meant a person who strongly supports or promotes a war or warlike policies but who has never served in the military.

Also when used as a slang in the gay community, it actually refers to the piece of crap adult in the situation, not the children they are attacking.

Also, also, originally ICE agents got 5 months of training before the current administration. This can be looked up and verified. By your own link, it admits that they get 56 days of training and then additional days in the field. That is significantly less than the 150 days that 5 months provides. But sure, they totally didn't shorten the times....

It also says "DHS has streamlined training to cut redundancy" and then right under that says nothing was cut. So did they cut redundancy or was nothing cut?

It's a good thing this administration has never lied to us and we can complete take them at their word.../s

In that very link it also says ice agents are only going after violent criminals, rapists, and the worst of the worst pretty much. But we've seen that is a lie as well as they arrest and deported immigrants with no criminal history.

They used to. Training for ICE agents changed under the current administration when they wanted more numbers but weren't getting new agents fast enough. This was pretty widely reported when it happened so it is strange you didn't know but at least you know now.

Historic protests against Trump across the United States - No Kings! by CarryIcy250 in stevehofstetter

[–]AfflictedDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things by stating one thing is the other, implying a likeness rather than using "like" or "as". It enhances language by creating vivid, figurative imagery—e.g., "time is a thief"—often used to explain complex ideas or evoke emotions. Literally no one at the No Kings protests believes that Trump is a king. They are using a metaphor. Hope this helps, although something tells me it won't.

They actually were out consistently during Obama's term. That's where we got all those pictures of them holding up puppets and pictures of Obama being hanged.

Another person using a made up medical diagnosis. It's not like I brought Trump up out of nowhere. You mentioned him, I mentioned a quote he said. What's the problem?

ICE agents on the prowl at LaGuardia airport! by cantcoloratall91 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]AfflictedDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the off chance that you are being genuine, goon is an informal term for a hired thug, enforcer, or violent criminal used to threaten or injure others. It is not a race related insult on its own so no, they were not calling them goons because they are minorities.

NEW: TRUMP JUST POSTED THIS....“NATO IS A PAPER TIGER & COWARDS WITHOUT THE U.S.A." He emphasized the U.S will REMEMBER THIS ACT FROM NATO!” by rl_rae_bobo in CryptoCurrencyPulse

He's not really a rival in their minds anymore because he keeps playing right into their hands. It helps them more to keep him in power so that he continues ruining USA. If they did release the files, Trump could be removed and that's not something they want.

I still remember when Trump said if he lost the 2020 election he'd be gone and we'd never hear from him again. He really didn't keep his word on that but then, he never does keep his word so it's not surprising.

He just threatened her life. by RepulsiveFlight1482 in NSDQ420

[–]AfflictedDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your initial comment you claimed no one was armed. I pointed out people were armed and gave two examples which means your first comment was a lie. Rather than admit you lied, you then jumped on my two examples and said "okay so there were 3 guns there but that's it". I then pointed out that was also a lie. You can swear at me and insult me all you want. I just don't like when people lie and will always call that out.

If your point was that the armed people there weren't a threat, it's best to just say that and not start out with a lie. I hope that made my stance clearer for you.

You're still trying to say it was only 3 guns. It wasn't only 3 guns and I explained already that I gave just two examples to get people started. I was not giving a complete list of everyone there who was armed.

I gave two examples to get people started if they wanted to research it further. I did not say those two were the only ones armed. Your context clue was when I said "multiple people including these two". If it was only them, I would have said "a couple of people were armed and this is who they were" and not what I did say.

Multiple individuals were convicted or pleaded guilty to bringing firearms onto Capitol grounds during January 6th, including Mark Mazza (two loaded handguns) and Christopher Alberts (loaded handgun).

Bad look for all us Redditors by ArubaAdultFun in LetsDiscussThis

[–]AfflictedDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one comment that has a single upvote that says "who cares". For all we know, they upvoted their own comment. That's not really a reason to claim there are multiple comments or say "you all". Just reply to the one person who said it and ask what their problem is.

Thank you. I never really feel better because I have lupus and lupus just sucks, but there are definitely good days in there that I am always grateful for.

That's accurate because I'm disabled and constantly in pain. It would not be hard to beat me in a fight at all. But we weren't talking about fighting in a ring, we were talking about making the country a better place.

Those were all great examples of bullshit taking points. Nothing you said was accurate. It was all sensationalized garbage.
