Giraffe carvings, centuries old, found in Libyan mountains

Ta, Dok. I'm glad I read Radley Balko's Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces when it came out. That was the blueprint for this BS.

Well, they've certainly passed their "Basic Brutality 101" exams with flying colors.

This is what you get with sadopopulism. Of course a lot of people in the USA believe that people go to college to become women with danger hair and pronouns that won't fuck them. They're destroying the "seed corn" of course because the colleges and universities are where the innovation happens. You can't actually get your profits if American people not only can't create or innovate, can't source the talent, but if the people are also left too poor to actually buying things.

But because of the mechanics of most colleges and universities—exposure to other points of view—this gets in the way of the hatred that parents instill in their children and it must be stamped out. Presumably Bible colleges would offer a homeschool option to help some of these people keep their kids from seeing a minority they hate, but the real world isn't so friendly.

Well said. Plus, it's stupid for right-wingers to stamp out universities and colleges. Hegel understood a few hundred years ago, if memory serves, that part of the university project was to contain potentially rebellious thoughts and people (ones harmful to state control) within acceptable boundaries. In a sense, they are a safety valve for dissent.

So, paying the ICE cops triple of what everyone else makes in law enforcement means that there will be mass resignations from police forces in cities, counties, and states. Those jurisdictions will then have to triple what they pay officers to retain them and preserve public order, and bust their budgets, or face more unsolved crimes and excessively long response times. This is going to be a colossal shitshow.

OT: In "I'm not even a little bit surprised" news

Today, Meatball has ordered the flag to be raised at half-staff in Florida for noted racist and terrible shitheel Hulk Hogan and has declared it "Hulk Hogan Day"

Fuck, get me out of this timeline already!

PS I'm sorry but doesn't he mean Terry Bollea Day? Pretty woke to call someone by their chosen name, Ron.

Cuz, if you went to school and accidentally got taught “woke” you should get a refund on that. Also maybe they sex changed you at lunch in the student union?

Devil's advocate here. The position doesn't seem like it's KPI based so a person could take the job and not "find" undocumented people.

Jjamie's avatar

Oh no. It will be run like the SS so all eyes will be watching their soldiers for treason as well.

I thought college was liberal brainwashing indoctrination. Why would ICE hire anyone with that fancy book learnin’?

The third guy in that GIF is Black. That seems suspiciously like DEI to me.

I would only ever get a rescue now.

That is the cat I always wanted. My wife tried to get me one, but the breeders wanted her to write an essay describing why we deserved one. She peaced out.

Stuart's avatar

People giving away cats are very possessive. Once, when I was trying to adopt a cat in Chicago, the people running the shelter took my daughter -- age about 5 -- aside and pumped her for information about whether I'd be a worthy cat guardian. She told them that the cat she already had was an indoor-outdoor cat, which was anathema to them. Not only did I not get the cat, I was blackballed all over town. (I eventually got one under a false name.)

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

An essay? For the breeders? Yeah, peacing out is the right move. Fuck them.

And just getting rescues is the correct decision.

Look at Hamilton and Feller, and now OnTheOtherHand and Wanda - they're self-rescues.

Zyxomma's avatar

Nyla and Ebony are rescues. So is Gizmo, our terrorist Chihuahua.

Michael Bowen's avatar

Clarissa, Samantha, Maybelle (all in blessed memory), Mose, and Mick all agree that rescuing is the way to go.

What if, instead of reporting 'Trump imposes tariffs on China', the press reported 'Trump raises taxes on Americans'? Let's be honest, because Trump won't.

Hops: grrrr mad's avatar

that would hurt his feelings.

If you have experience smashing windows, especially really tough windows like the kind you'd find at the nation's capitol just for example, then they have a signing bonus for you!

oh and by the way [current occupant of the White House] is hosting another kiddie diddler to help him introduce the presidential fitness thing, because he cannot stop telling on himself

Does the President know anyone who isn't a pedophile?

Trump is stealing someone's employees?! Another thing he has in common with Epstein.
