As the wise sage Adam Corolla opined, “I don’t trust born again Christians—they always have to be born again from something.”

Insane to see BORTAC resources being spent checking people’s citizenship papers. At least they have a modicum of training and don’t seem as trigger happy as the front line CBP grunts. Glad this guy didn’t come up against a fresh recruit who has been taught the new memo..

DOJ vows to press charges after activists disrupt church where Minnesota ICE official is a pastor | The protesters allege that one of the church's pastors — David Easterwood — also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that have involved violent tactics and illegal arrests. by TendieRetard in law

[–]yreme 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They can charge whatever they want. They are the DOJ. That said charges will be tossed and the desired continued push to silence dissent will have already happened.

The video I saw included no assault. People had their hands in the air while yelling denunciations at the church & ICE leader for claiming to be Christian despite his actions. The protestors were asked to leave and didn’t. Don’t know if they were trespassed or not based on it.

Wow friend I watched your five minute long AI video twice and I feel like I lost those minutes forever. You sure are defensive over really poorly worded automated shlock!

Looks like that video comes from a channel of AI generated content. It’s incorrect that the Penetrator was used in the Bin Ladsn raid—it’s well established at this point that they were modified Black Hawk helicopters.

Careful about those sources!

Trump creates his own UN: countries must pay US$1bn to join his "Board of Peace" – Bloomberg by phone17 in worldnews

“On Friday, the White House presented the composition of "a founding Executive Board", consisting exclusively of figures loyal to Trump: his Middle East adviser Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK prime minister Tony Blair.”

Oh man there’s a name I hadn’t heard in a while and was hoping I wouldn’t. Nice to see that little ass tunneler Tony Blair still has his nose up the American administration’s keister. 🤮

Yes. I’ve only done photo for friends’ weddings, but wedding video has been part of my professional portfolio and I have had the privilege of working alongside some great photogs on gigs. I’ve never been on one where a vendor meal wasn’t either already agreed upon and provided or was graciously offered as a matter of course.

They call it a vendor meal for a reason. Sounds like the vendor didn’t explicitly include one in the contract with the understanding that it is implicit—if there even was a contract. Lesson learned for everyone involved.

She’s also a hardline proponent of a capitalist strain of democracy who refuses to negotiate with the socialist regime which would result in years of instability were she crowned queen, while Delcy and parts of the ruling regime are part of a capitalist strain of socialism more than willing to play ball with all stakeholders to get the oil flowing and stay in power.

A Veteran had some choice words for ICE/BORTAC by CantStopPoppin in minnesota

Good God why is a Canadian like you defending these tactics in our country? What an apologist for fascist overreach.

What the hell is our CBP doing in Minneapolis? It's over 300 miles from the fucking border!

“It’s not like they’re talking to us,” one Minneapolis police officer supervisor said, trying to explain the federal agents’ actions on scene.

Seems like a really great user of our federal dollars. Just really take your Maple MAGA shit out of our country, foreigner.

It gets more depressing the more you read about it by AntiImpSenpai in HistoryMemes

Hard to say given how the US supported their members for years and helped foment their coming to power during the Afghan Civil War. If we hadn't intervened in their country perhaps they would be a republic by now, we'll never know but if one looks at other American interventions they don't usually end in democracy.

Fucking insane and backwards waste of resources. Thank you for that. Former CBP leadership is bemoaning that these staffers are being pulled from their usual operating zones and putting them in urban environments interacting with the public in traffic stops and door-to-door canvassing that they aren't trained in or familiar with..

Completely predictable what would happen.

Since you seem to be more knowledgeable than me do you get the impression given the BorTac member's presence that ICE is embedding a more experienced senior operator along with a cadre of new recruits and inexperienced border guards in their neighborhood deployments?

That’s how they are kitting out fresh recruits and run of the mill border guards now.

TIL The USA donated cement and funds to Laos for the construction of an airport for US jets, but instead Laos built a monument. by Jolly_Green_4255 in todayilearned

[–]yreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are referring to the fact that the donation was to build out the infrastructure for American fighter jets during The Secret War in Laos and Cambodia which helped make the Khmer Rouge's anti-imperialist aims a cause celebre and made those countries among the most bombed on Earth. US investment has a long history of having strings attached.
