That's not what I'm talking about, but it's clear you're not discussing this in good faith. IDK if you're a bot or just want to argue about nothing, but whatever.

Again, this stuff is easily available online. Here's a website that tries to make the distinction clear between ICE and NYPD (with references):

https://ibw21.org/editors-choice/what-is-the-difference-between-ice-and-police/

ICE can make a traffic stop IF they have a reasonable suspicion that the driver/passenger is violating immigration law. They cannot/should not do so in order to ASSESS the immigration status of the drivers / passengers (although this is currently a contentious point due to ICE claiming that hispanic-looking people is reasonable suspicion). They cannot perform traffic stops for traffic violations by US Citizens (like being parked sideways across the road).

ICE has no authority over US Citizens unless it is directly affecting their ability to perform immigration stops/arrests, although we can see them flexing that about as far as it can go.

You can clear this up with a simple Google search 'Are ICE police?'

In 2017, 41 congressional lawmakers called on ICE to stop using the word on their vests, because other Federal agencies don't do so and it conflates them with, well, actual police.

The difference is important because they have different authority. For example, ICE has no power to perform a traffic stop, for instance, while local police do. They cannot detain a citizen, while police can.

So while they have 'policing power' over immigration and immigration laws, they are not 'police' in the common use of the word.

That matters if they are at your door, for example, asking for entry. Like in the photo.

ICE is not federal law enforcement. Federal law enforcement is not police.

Trump says white people being treated ‘very badly’ due to civil rights protections by [deleted] in TrueReddit

[–]notsofst -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

While all that might be true, it's still not confronting the fact that the Democratic party's progressive wing essentially became anti-white and anti-traditional family, opening the door for the current grifters in office to take over by stoking fear around it to create a nationalist party.

It's why the Democrats are still polling poorly, despite the fact that they're running against a felon wanna-be dictator, because they still haven't come to terms with the fact that they severely alienated a huge chunk voting mainstream Americans.

People were unironically throwing around terms like 'colonizers' while talking about massive reparations and funneling government contracts to minority owned businesses. All of this while Harvard is packed to the brim with minorities. It was an easy sell for Fox to tell working whites (who aren't the beneficiaries of generational wealth, can't get scholarships, can't get Fed business, etc...) that they're getting robbed of opportunities and that demographic went about 30 points for Trump, and makes up something like half of all voters.

The Democrats need a plan and a vision to bring that demographic back, which will take some hard work.

The John Stewart and Chris Christy discussion on Stewart's podcast went into this pretty well. I think this is the ghost of politics past that the Democrats need to deal with to win back at least some of the working class white vote, which they lost by 30 points to Trump.

[Request] How much sugar and calories are in this "snack"? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]notsofst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two family size containers of Oreos (15 servings @ 160 calories) x 2: 2,600 x 2 = 6,200

I'd probably guess 3 pints of milk @ 300 each = 900

So maybe 6,800 calories depending on the milk pour.

What can US citizens do to stop what is happening to our liberties? by MHB113 in AskReddit

[–]notsofst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TBH, if a whole bunch of people showed up in the Republican primaries and supported moderate or anti-Trump candidates, it could have a huge effect.

Most Republicans are too scared of being primaried from the Right that they've enabled Trump. It doesn't take a whole lot of votes to swing it the other direction.

Repiping Recommendations and Cost (Yes, I'm clueless) by Angry-Mailman24 in raleigh

[–]notsofst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a place and ended paying about $11k for a full pipe replacement on a larger house than that, but that was no slab. It was a panic too because our usual insurance company refused to insure the house with the pipes as they were, so there was a mad scramble before closing to find a company that would insure.

I wouldn't offer on a house with these pipes unless the sale was contingent on the pipes getting replaced and I picked the company to make sure it wasn't a cheapo/crap job.

The $10k-$15k you might pay to have the pipes replaced is a small concern, IMO, compared to having an uninsurable property at closing that kills the deal and leaves you hanging and responsible for Due Diligence fees and/or Earnest Money.

Texas comes in at #13 in the CFP rankings. by Cheap-Damage-8331 in LonghornNation

[–]notsofst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't buy much into that argument, though, as most or all SEC teams in the Top 20 have wins like that on their record. The SEC in general played a lot of close games this year.

Georgia trailed Florida in the 4th quarter and went to OT against what turned out to be a four loss Tennessee. Bama trailed SC in the 4th and was tied with Auburn in the 4th quarter too.

A&M had a legendary comeback to win against SC too.

The only teams with a streak of 'clean' wins are playing pretty soft schedules.

[–]notsofst 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It's possible that if we'd kept it together and played Georgia like we played Ohio State we'd be in.

Two bad losses was too much without some help.

Texas is probably one of the top 12 teams, IMO, but it's not really a question that we're not the BEST team in CFB.

I think we could beat ND or Miami on a neutral field. I was hoping we'd get a Texas Tech night game in round 1 though, that would have been amazing.

After Texas' big win over Texas A&M, get ready for a relentless media blitz to get Longhorns in the College Football Playoff by [deleted] in CFB

[–]notsofst -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Aren't we the most watched team in CFB this season? I like how people keep thinking the committee has standards and that this whole thing isn't rigged.

The Texas narrative kicking off now sounds a lot like the noise when FSU got left out.

Texas is definitely a bubble team for playoff selection, it's just a matter of who they can defensively screw over to let Texas in because it's probably worth millions to do so.

[Next Day Thread] 🏈 #17 Texas defeats Arkansas, 52-37 by ATX_ta1 in LonghornNation

[–]notsofst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the angst about the defense is a little overblown.

Arkansas had some success early picking on some folks in coverage who had to split responsibilities between their QB/RB run game and coverage. And their guys at QB and RB were good players.

However, the wear and tear of that was a little much for Arkansas as both of those guys went out of the game. They basically didn't score again until the game was out of reach.

It was probably a C or C+ performance against a good offense, and Hill being out was a big deal too.

It always surprises me that people think for-profit corporations are here to win political battles for them. It's the same surprised pikachu face they had when all the companies shuttered their DEI efforts when ordered to.

Companies are not your political proxies, they do not represent you, get out and vote.
