      Da fellow Amerikan, it certainly could not be the trumpers. That would make too much sense.

    How much more proof do we need that ICE is to Trump was the SS was to Hitler: his private lawless paramilitary force?

    ICE will end up doing what the SS did. It’s bound to happen. And it will happen all the more easily because they’re not the best and brightest by a long shot, and it’s about to get a lot worse.

      The fact that they’re offering hiring bonuses that are more than my annual salary in EMS should be all the proof you need that we’re fucked.

      This isn’t about immigration and it’s not going to stop if and when the immigrants are gone.

        the bonuses seems to be over a period of years, i doubt its just give them upfront. trump admin is probably going renege on some of these bonuses.

          I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn’t do anything bad to another person. They’d know

            I’ve had a few coworkers eyeing the nurse rates but like. I already can’t stomach corrections even though I love the population. I can’t imagine this is going to be any better.

      They’re now the most well funded domestic law enforcement agency to exist in the world, ever. With the sole task of deporting non-citizens.

      What happens when there aren’t any more non-citizens to deport? Well they sure as hell are going to find SOME way to justify all that funding, don’t you think?

      Hopefully all of these ice agents will face something like nuremberg trials. I think they hanged a lot of the original nazis? Or maybe it was firing squads?

        Only the top Nazis and the most egregious underbosses. Hundreds of thousands of former SS, waffen SS and Gestapo officers went through the denazification process for a few months, during which they underwent a kind of reverse brainwashing - which also served as a probationary period to make sure they weren’t ultra-Nazis trying to hide their true feelings - then they got reabsorbed into German civilian society.

        Other German-occupied countries went through the same process. France for example, had roughly half a million civil servants who previously worked for the Vichy regime - some of them having done some pretty unsavory things.

        It’s one of the great untold shameful stories of those countries, that everybody at the time swept under the rug because they - understandably - desperately wanted to move on, and also because, like it or not, the countries simply couldn’t function without rehabillating those disgusting people and their former skills.

          Sounds like we should have gone harder. Maybe this time we will.

          Though I would probably be pretty happy to see like trump and Mike Johnson convicted and executed by firing squad, even if a bunch of others escaped.

            trump and Mike Johnson convicted and executed by firing squad

            Trump will probably die of old age, sadly. Vance might get to be tried though, if he takes over the regime.

            But they won’t be shot. They’ll be hanged. Execution by firing squad is a military “distinction” - at least when it’s carried out as part of a lawful sentencing process - and it’s considered one notch above hanging, which is reserved for common criminals and is applied to particularly disgusting characters as a mark of shame.

            That’s why a lot of Nazis were hung rather than shot. I don’t think we’ll think of high-ranking MAGA officials as worthy of a firing squad.

              I didn’t know that. I just read on Wikipedia

              Göring made an appeal asking to be shot as a soldier instead of hanged as a common criminal, but the court refused.

              which is interesting and aligns with what you said
