Those will burn nicely

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago

Too bad they're not Tesla trucks, those burn themselves. Spontaneously.

How about using those 1000 SUVs to deliver food to starving Gazans that are officially under famine conditions now that Trump is the US president.

Expanding ICE to catch illegal immigrants is just a pretext to form a new fascist police force. Things are never what they say they are, with this government.

They need to have big flatbeds for guys to ride in the back like their cousins in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

At least they're blowing their bigger budget on stupid bullshit that makes it easier to spot their Nazi asses.

That's 100,000 usd a car seems a little expensive. Surly there's a cheaper option but if we look at 300 series in Australia a new one sets you back 100k Australia at a minimum then all the police accoutrements

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It’s not the car that is expensive, it’s all the modifications and equipment they have installed.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago

That's what I was getting at with the added extras.

You can say whatever you want about the Nazis, I know they weren’t quite the upstanding people, but at least they were tasteful!
