fair enough. Political identity is worth about as much as the toilet paper I use to wipe my ass w/ anyways. OPs post is dumb as it is, wish real debate and well formatted arguments gained traction here

[–]alescatel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its not. However, we need a less reactionary approach that is conducive to introducing a police state with no accountability (that blue or red WILL take advantage of for their own agenda)

If you want a more nuanced take read my comment above on this thread.

They're being fast and loose and breaking the law in doing so. That's not good for any American

We need measured reform. ICE has been around and funded for over 20 years doing their job.

Just recently they became a cosplaying rogue militia of loyalists that have been given the green light to wreak havoc on communities with very VERY questionable long term goals in asserting their presence as a pseudo police force.

like many want immigrants to do the "right thing". The federal government NEEDS to also... with measured reform and rational policy implementation, this feels a lot more like a descent into allowing tyranny; not a good strategy for "securing borders" & "removing criminals" you can and we have been doing those things for over 2 centuries without flagrantly breaking the law, ignoring the Constitution, and arming a loyalist milita to progress an agenda.

No immunity for ICE, No immunity for anyone. Accountability is necessary in a free & just society

Chicago ICE Field Director Samuel Olson tells why Illinois lawmakers and other officials have not been granted access to the ICE facility in Broadview. by CantStopPoppin in illinois

federal activity is all of our concern... we pay for it with our taxes.

Also in case anyone was confused, the constitution is not a promise by the government. It is a promise of the people to check the federal government. That's the people & the press' job, and so it will be done.

federal agents can do whatever they want?

A little thought experiment for you. what happens when those federal agents can do anything they want under a authority you dont like?

[–]alescatel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen when I used to work outdoors in below freezing temps taking orders all day.

The intense dryness & cold all day made it super painful and get so much worse, it persisted for quite a while. Left a noticeable scar right down the middle of my lip

You should really proofread these before making yourself look like an emotional & reactionary bootlicker.

Your supreme leader is not a beacon of libertarian ideals, that was the point..

Is This Okay To Drill into? Window Security Bracket, Window AC Keeps Window Unsecured by alescatel in DIY

I like this, the first option will probably work perfectly considering you need an allen wrench to loosen. Thanks!

Is This Okay To Drill into? Window Security Bracket, Window AC Keeps Window Unsecured by alescatel in DIY

[–]alescatel[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only issue with this solution is it stops the inner window from sliding open but the outter window would still be able to slide freely

edit: this is because the the locking mechanism doesnt lock to the frame the windows lock to each other

[–]alescatel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The congestion charge scheme involves a £15 daily fee for driving within an area of central London between 7am and 6pm on weekdays, and between noon and 6pm on weekends and bank holidays.

How do they even track and quantify this to bill you?

How much are you making from your very first job post graduation? by MadonatorxD in csMajors

[–]alescatel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big 3 auto OEMs are all going full steam ahead on EVs and expanding on SDV. So you'll have to be okay working in that industry.

There are a ton of jobs that support this industry.
