You DO understand the difference between application requirements and commissioning requirements, right?

I don’t know anything about anything. I is a stupid.

The point is that it is not difficult to become an ICE deportation officer and they are quickly hiring thousands and thousands of people and putting them on the streets as quickly as possible. The only thing ICE cares about is deporting as many non whites as possible. They do not care about having well trained officers.

Maybe sit this one out if you don't understand the commissioning process.

Then explain it.

Democrats are 100% party over decency and party over country.

If they won't cut ties with a state AG case, they'll never prioritize or represent anyone out of their base. This is wild and sick.

Not one bit of this is embarrassing to them, nor surprising to the rest of us. They don't have the character nor the basic human decency to condemn it or demand he step down. He represents what many of them actually think. He just got caught saying it out loud.

Astrology for men - I am familiar with Avi Gilburt's work. Next wave is always right around the corner, until it isn't. Are you honestly calling for a 75% market crash? 7x 2025 earnings? You know how many time's I've heard "this administration is going to drive us to another Great Depression"? Every big action up or down they will take credit for "calling it" while ignoring the 50,000 hedge statements placed in between.

You are falling for your own BS blaming Trump. Avi would say politics are irrelevant and whatever news will be used to validate the natural event that takes place. Kamala would have had the same result just a different story line. If you really buy Elliott Wave theory anyway.

Now go see what Nouriel Roubini is up to if you really want to be afraid of collapse. Dr. Doom is that broken clock that is right twice a day.

That's funny, no it's not Astrology for men (hey, how about women?). And it's not Avi Gilburt's work (maybe you read some of his SA posts it sounds like), but the real founder of Elliott Wave Theory is R.N. Elliott, and since the late 70s, Robert Prechter has been the torch bearer for the analysis framework. Avi is more recent and a is a really strong practioner of the theory, making great calls since the early to mid 2000s. He has either 6K or 8K members to his Elliott Wave Trader services, including about 1K money managers, so he's no slouch. Wrong about me blaming. - I just said that you could see that would play out as a pessimistic set of events; you are correct, it would be a similar bear run, even under Kamala, or Biden, or under whomever. If you really want to edumacate yourself, you should read Robert Prechter's seminal work, The Socionomic Theory of Finance, which took him 13 years to write! I don't follow anything Roubini says or prognosticates.

We shall see how this plays out. You don't trust iCE, fine. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. We are all watching.

F--- ICE, I more so don't trust Noem, McLaughlin, Homen, Miller, Trump... Shall I go on?

 

[NDWarrior]

Are you a police officer? Merely curious.

And to let you know, I'll do whatever the F I want to do. Who the heck are you to dictate? Speculating you may have illegals in your family/friend group? Suck it up and do the right thing.... Your hate is Ugly.

Lighten up Francis (does the F stand for Francis?) You most certainly can do what you want since (at least for now) this is a free, democratic country. I did say please 😂 and did not dictate but they are not one and the same, that's a fact. No family baggage, not hate, all love. Now please move on... Nothing to see here my friend.

 

[NDWarrior]

It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Thank you Wilford Brimley for those sage words of wisdom... I'll remember them the next time I'm in a company departmental meeting where what you say is great advice to apply to that setting, but on here, they don't compute. So kindly bugger off, if you please good sir.

You’d think the texts were bad, but his reaction and defense after the fact is perhaps even more illuminating.

This is when you know the tide is turning on Trump. That doesn't mean we get rid of him so fast and easily, but this person is a former co-worker at WebEx from years back. She is of Pacific Island descent but may even be an Indian family from there but has grown up in Sacramento which is pretty conservative and Trumpers (or at least has large pockets of support for him). We're connected on Facebook and she has post nothing but Trump, America, Apple Pie, support Blue, Military, God and Country, raising my son and daughter to be warriors, crazy leftists, etc. And in the past 4-5 years, she's been a very active FB poster and strong vocal supporter of Trump and his admin, and the Republicans, on FB and she NEVER once has posted anything like this, but even she is finally voicing her frustration! Sadly, this likely means that Trump and his admin will just be ratcheting up the Authoritarian measures to stay in power and keep control over the ever-increasing opposition to him and his admin.

And the other issue is that ICE has been known to hire white supremacists and nationalists, and even a number of January 6th Insurrectionists via a combo of intentional looking the other way, just plain missing extremist ties, and to expedite hiring as many new ICE officers as possible; so there is a lot of traitor, racist, and degenerate scum in ICE, not so much in our local and state police forces.

That said, I will acknowledge that there is obvious a very highly skilled and capable component of ICE, that for example, has pulled off covert and effective strikes, like the one last week on the Broadview Apt. Complex in Chicago, which I of course disagree with, namely their tactics of Zip tying young children and trashing apartments with no concern for residents in the name of nabbing Venezuelan gang members. I think I heard that after all that destruction and chaos, they maybe and supposedly arrested 2-3 gang members. I think with today's sophisticated surveillance, they could have exercised a more surgical operation here.

So are we back to the impeachment/ousting stage of the delusion cycle? It's all over for Trump now because your former co-worker is done with him?

I'm apathetic about when he gets the boot, but to pretend he's going to get anything more than another 3 years is fear mongering.

No, not really what I meant. Just it's symbolic because she is a touch cookie and I never thought I would ever see a comment like that from here. People are fed up with him. You're right that he is officially only in until death do us part, or January 2029, whichever comes first.

I meant it more like you would think he would be responsive to his base, but of course neither he, Vance, or anyone in his admin will be; instead they will focus on cracking down on anyone who dissents/opposes so that they can retain complete one-party control of this fair country.

You are aware that ICE just like any other police officer has to go through and extensive back ground check along with polygraphs?

I 100% agree with you that you can still conduct a very in depth search with out tearing up or making a huge mess for the complex to clean up or cost them money.

You have to handle all situations differently depending on the situation. I know you probably don’t know (I don’t because i didn’t look up the story) what are they calling kids? We know how people like to say things. Are they 4,5,6 or are they 14, 15,16?

The young group you handle much different because they don’t have ties to gangs they are kids that have been around people that just attract to people the know and trust. The older teenagers you have to treat them more as a threat because thats the age they are going to be influenced yet the gangs and be tempted to be the silent threat.

He is the thing you can’t trust people in those settings. People will attempt to delay them by editing the video, look outs and other ways complete surprise unfortunately is the best way to secure them. 2-3 gang members is still successful.You don’t know their “rank” in the gang to how much influence they have.

I say this because i know of a situation like this but it is also different. We had to local apartment complexes that received a lot of federal monies to completely remodel the entire complex. Part of the agree ment was the police did a major joint task force sweep of the apartments. I am talking US Marshals, FBI, ICE, ATF, State ad local police. They were getting people with warrants and find a lot of drugs and illegal/stolen guns the got of the street. It really was a successful event. And if i recall correctly this was durning the Obama admin. (Again you do these type of sweeps, there still is away to do it though.)

What's your exit plan? Moving to another country like all the celebs that said they would but didn't? Or, do you have a bunker loaded up with the necessities to survive until the regime is overthrown?

The fact that this conversation stemmed from the Republicans eulogy of a democrat politician is even more insane.

Does that part matter? It shouldn't be said at all no matter WHO says it.

And, you had community parades with effigies of them in handcuffs, and worse.

Politics have become entire identities and people are abhorrent to other humans due to D or R after their name... Regular people, not just politicians.

Weird rationalization. This is the guy running to be the top legal officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia and people act like him wanting to kill Republicans is cool because some bubba talked about it back in the day?

Lol you dug up a 7 year old video to rationalize your both-siding dismissal.

 

[NDWarrior]

I agree of course that these things shouldn't be said. I do think in both these cases mentioned here, there was intent to actual kill the politicians children or stomp on an opponents face with spikes, but they should just not use these metaphors or send these private messages. One question I do have is why did the Republican Rep he sent the "bullets to head and children die" text message to - which was a private message - suddenly decide to release the message 3+ years later? Strange. Sounds like she saved those for the right time to surface them when needed to strike down a political opponent. Nonetheless, this is wrong and the candidate should drop out of the race. At least he owned his words and apologized and many Democrats came out and said the comments were "abhorrent." I don't think one Democrat's private horrible message in one state means the Democrats are actually promoting and fomenting political violence across U.S. political races.
