National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[Muppet]

Is atomized Xanax a thing yet? Why are we fucking eating each other alive over politics? While we do that, the bloated roaches in DC are still making money and laughing at us.

Brothers, good grief. I love you all.

The memo, signed by the acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons, and dated May 12, 2025, says:

Am I the only one who noticed this? We're arguing about something like it is new, but has been on the books for 9 months? All of the anti-ICE outrage and Constitutional arguments, yet this is 9 months old?

The article says it wasn't widely distributed but it was used to train new officers? That's a bit conflicting so shout out to the reporter for that one.

9 months for a whistleblower to step forward? 9 months for anyone to connect the dots with these alleged incidents or whatever you want to call them? 9 months for this to leak in a day and age where secrets are a commodity to be traded for press, Likes, clicks, and subscribes?

Something smells, but whatever.

This thread rocks.

@TLDR20 I didn’t know these riots were happening in NC!

I don’t care about the riots. I honestly don’t care about the immigrants getting arrested. I care about Americans getting rolled up. And since you asked this is happening where I live as well.

Here's my daily reminder to take a break from the politics and general nonsense for a bit. Disconnect and get outside. There are some glorious places on this planet. Be thankful...I'm thankful I'm here and not freezing my ass off back home!




Huh...it's doing the thing again where pics are rotated 90⁰

I saw the headlines this morning for ICE agents entering homes without a warrant and just kept scrolling. I'll believe it when I see it. If it happens we all know damn well we will see it....and see it...and see it.

When this happens, you need to go into your photos and adjust the rotation before posting.

Fixed it for ya .

And that's why you're the best mod here! Thanks!

Hey, what's with the facts and logic and critical thinking? We all know it's far better to grossly over-react to unsubstantiated first reports made by anonymous sources, especially when we can use them to selectively reinforce our own personal biases and try to dunk on our political opponents.

Politics and religion, even food, is not worth getting aggressive and losing our professional bearings. However I get the need for an place to vent, but tearing each other down isn't the way to do it.

I am thankful for two dogs who have high drives and need to be walked for an hour a few times at minimum per day. It makes me feel human again.

Oh I was just making it a point to highlight your rampant hypocrisy on every issue here. I’ve never seen you with a principle you aren’t willing to jettison if it serves you, this is no different.

 

[amlove21]

It’s been WEEKS that stuff like the below has been happening. American citizens have *actually* had their 4th amendment and basic civil liberties violated and not a fucking word. Churches stormed, agents ambushed and shot at; silence. Running riots in the streets DAILY- silence. Doxxing federal agents and showing up at their home (some folks here like a lil doxxing )- nada. They shot your president.

There are more fake stores about babies getting tear gassed than there are real stories of violations but yall can’t WAIT to stand on the index cases and virtue signal about caring for the constitution and your fellow Americans. It’s just bullshit.

I’ve railed on for years now about how you radicalize room temp IQ dorks bit by bit till they’ll defend collectivism in its grossest form, and here we are.

I like the allusion of a panther in a china shop- you can still knock stuff over and break stuff, just not everything.

Our cat once took it personal that she couldn't swat off the kiddo's water bottle. From then on she now hisses at it and gives it the stink eye. It's an amusing thing to watch from to time.

Ok guys follow me here- I know it feels like your constitutional rights are being violated- but you just don’t understand the existential threat this situation has to ALL Americans, nationwide.

So we are gonna continue to ask people for their papers. Just for like- 2 weeks. Just to flatten the curve of the negative effects of immigration. We are all in this together. One citizen showing their papers protects EVERYONE in their community.

Think about grandma, bro. This will all be over soon.

Fucking insanity.

No, ICE didn’t detain a kid.

Political theater. Dems are just pushing falsities ahead of the election. Hakeem Jefferies keeps referring to ICE as "out of control and terrorizing the American people."

"I wonder why everyone is so polarized on literally every issue!"

I think I found the problem.

Even if it is true it’s not gonna convince those who support ICE to stop supporting them. I believe nothing will in fact do that.
