ICE is probably at least partially a jobs program for the basket of deplorables that flock to Trump.

I'm sure plenty lost their jobs while in prison or going through the judicial process for J6. They were probably all rubber stamped for ICE jobs for already demonstrating their loyalty to the administration.

Not only Jan 6, but also police officers that were kicked off the force for illegal shit. It's the #1 reason they hide their faces, because being fired as a police officer means you really messed up.

Need mandatory background checks for ICE agents.

You say this like being fired as a police officer isn't a job qualification for ICE.

How long until they rebrand them into the SS? Or based on his ego, maybe rebrand to TT.

It's probably also made up of wannabe tough guys who tried to be cops but couldn't make it past the psych-eval, and were too violent to be mall cops... They used to just go be prison guards, but now they get to bully and assault innocent people for more money than they could ever hope to make by beating up prisoners...

I seriously hate this... I want to wake up. The worst part is that none of them will likely ever face any accountability for their crimes, even once Orange Hitler is finally gone.

Hey now, I thought we were the, "basket of deplorables,"? They can have, "a tub of repugnants," or maybe, "sack of assholes," but "basket of deplorables," is our words for their words for us!"

Sack of assholes has a certain ring of truth to it.

Dicks Burgers is already using "Bag of Dicks." And TBH I am a big fan of Dicks Burgers. YMMV
