This is going to be a very sticky situation with the unions. Just like a lot of sovereign nations, they're going to have to balance their conservative-coded bigotries with their financial and safety interests.
Yep; and the Fulvous Fuckwad is sending ICEholes to the Olympics to assist with security... even though no one requested them.
Plus, packing firearms as part of the security detail will entail special permits from Italy, something I don't see happening given how media have covered ICE's extensive abuses using guns. Without firearms I don't think the ICEholes will be a very effective addition to security, no?
You know how people LOVE 20 degree below zero temperature and LOVE to rush out into it just for whimsy's sake?
Yeah, people don't do that at all.
So you have definitely SCREWED THE POOCH if you have motivated 50,000 people to risk frostbite and pneumonia just to lift a collective finger to you and tell you to fuck the fuck fucking off!
Add the fact that many of those 50,000 have NEVER done this kind of thing before and that pooch you screwed has shaken you off it's back and has latched it's jaws on your throat.
Both the ICE and the CBP councils bucked the AFGE and the AFL-CIO back in 2016. AFL-CIO asked the various councils to issue endorsements for Ms. Clinton and ICE/CBP both refused and endorsed donnie instead. This had NEVER happened before.
Not every member of ICE/CBP pays dues and supports the union. But the leadership of both councils is made up of dues paying shitheels who led campaigns to recruit other RWNJ / racists into the union to take control of both Councils and pursue a reactionary agenda and thus foil the union.
An incidental rant I've put out there, ICE raids at workplaces are an efficient use of resources and within their powers and jurisdiction, given that employers are supposed to verify their employees are eligible to work. In many/ most cases, such operations are easily conducted away from members of the general public and in settings where rules against carrying firearms are in effect. It is the fact that ICE insists on also conducting operations in public places where it is extremely difficult to keep the area secure which proves that their "crackdowns" are a pissing contest with local authorities as well as a circus to impress Drumpf and his base.
Just to piggyback on this, this whole thing would've been moot with card check. I remember I was required to fill out an I-9 form for every job I've held.
Let me add that ***none*** of this shit would be going down if McConnell had done his job and not told his caucus to acquit the Fulvous Fuckwad in 2020. The Turtle is and always has been a party loyalist, putting the needs/wants of the of the party before his obligations to the truth and all Americans, not just RINOs.
That's why most immigration enforcement is, or should be, a matter of reviewing paperwork. That also offers a straightforward explanation why MAGA always insisted that Democrats were refusing to enforce immigration laws regardless of actual deportation numbers. To them, policies that can be carried out without police brutality on TV simply don't exist.
The most revealing thing about the absolute unprofessional behavior of these fools, besides the murder of onlookers, is the fact that there seems to be no supervision, control, or accepted police practice to what they do. Earlier this week I watched them throw tear gas INTO the wind. Protesters simply took a few steps back and watched as the gas blew back onto the fools who threw it, forcing them to don gas masks and obscuring any view of the crowd. When the smoke cleared, rather than acting in an organized way, they scurried about willy-nilly like cockroaches on a kitchen floor instead of forming up and advancing slowly in a line as a unit.
In case anyone is still confused about which side Big Tech is on, Tim Apple attended the Melaina screening at the White House. You know, where the ballroom he donated to is being built.
"Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino confirmed that the two agents who shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti were already back on duty, but not in Minneapolis, and has refused to identify them."
They are out there somewhere else. Three days later.
Canada sending naval patrol vessel to Greenland for opening of new consulate.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said Canada’s “principled pragmatism” in foreign policy will be on full display next week in Greenland when she opens Canada’s new consulate in the Danish territory with Inuit representatives attending and a navy vessel in the background.
Your job NOW is to lie back, take it easy, hydrate well and allow your body to recover, love. Stubborn refusal to comply will only result in more miserable circumstances.
I'm pulling rank on 'ye, FukuiSan. Do as you're told.
"Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.
ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year."
Even then it took the death of the legal gun carrying white man who by all accounts was a decent caring human being not that it mattered to the RW Flying Monkey shitsphere. It just made him bulletproof (ugh) against their character attacks.
Everyone knows you should never go full Nazi... Well, almost everyone.

Union support for ICE collapsing is important regardless of personal cynicism level.
For a regime whose orange leader and figurehead is obsessed with optics as though everything was reality TV, and who takes everything as a personal slight, this should bestow upon us some angst ridden hamberder shit posting on Trough Social.

Yes, and cf. Italy and the upcoming Olympics, as that is coming to the fore.

YES, I was just reading about that shit earlier. I hope they don't manage to get the actual athletes disinvited, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

Trump admin isn’t removing Greg Bovino because what he did was wrong.
They’re removing him because of bad press
Brian Kilmeade suggested replacing Bovino with Homan on FOX News.
Twenty minutes later, that's exactly what happened.
Leave it to FOX to solve the problem of a city on fire by dropping a nuclear weapon into the blazing inferno just to see what happens.
Oh, and Inhuman Homan is SO MUCH BETTER in front of the cameras. He is as bad as Stephen Miller.

I think that's exactly what will be their downfall. A girl can hope, anyway.
Thank heavens they're stupid. Imagine what havoc they would wreak if they were intelligent!
A vicious and vindictive absence of any remotely responsible adults results in considerable destruction.
J6ers and Gravy Seals.
They think their GI Joe.
Poorly-trained halfwits in power?
Rings a bell somehow
Canada's PM Mark Carney will visit India in March to sign deals on uranium, energy, minerals and AI.
The US better hurry if they want to trade with Canada at all.

Treating them ust like pedo priests.
My anger is attaining some dangerously damned destructive levels...
They're claiming that naming them would be "doxxing" them.
They're probably shitting their pants. They WILL be identified. It's only a matter of time.
Oh yeah. Assholes like them will open their mouths in some bar, somewhere, sooner or later.
Good.

I'm guessing it'll be we won't talk about your human rights failings if it costs us too much money?
I know, I know. Trying not to be a purity pony...
But smart all things considered. Probably that billion dollar hi tech icebreaker.

OT: god damn son of a bitch I'm fucking ill again and Ive had to reschedule my interview
Not OT: Like Or.G and Enter Ranting say below, I don't want these fuckers fired.
I want them on trial. And not some bullshit Comer-style hopping marsupial trial, a proper one. With consequences.
Note I'm not calling for execution here, but I do want fucking CONSEQUENCES for these fucking assholes.
Your job NOW is to lie back, take it easy, hydrate well and allow your body to recover, love. Stubborn refusal to comply will only result in more miserable circumstances.

Unfortunately, sometimes it takes the right person to flip the switch on the national conscience (q.v. Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks)
Oh yeah.
If Mahatma Gandhi could humble the British, I think there is hope for us.

Careful Nick: that closet door of yours is ajar.
"Sex with women is gay."
Bold statement, Nick.
Rumor is he is deathly afraid of being outed. Sounds familiar. Fuentes = today's Rohm?
That train has sailed.
He was caught on camera fiddling with his computer and gay pron popped up.
I wish someone would out this repellent little troglodyte already so we'll never have to hear about him again.
There is no Partial Nazi. Any Nazi is full Nazi.
Cannot even with this fuck- why hasn't he been fucked off into the Sun yet???
He sounds nice.
Nick Fuentes is an absolute nobody. The fact that the fascist right has elevated him to relevancy is... astounding? depressing? telling? laughable?
Isn't Fuentes an Hispanic surname?
Nick is one of their Hispanics. For now.
Maybe he's related to Daisy too--
Fuentes is 2026's #1 candidate for a curb stomp.
