Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Hey Greg? Why don’t you go back to MN afterwards and walk the streets? See how much safer you must feel, how effective you were that you should put on your SS trench coat and go tour what is clearly just another US state. Should be fine no? I mean you made it safer there right?
Scum like Bovino don't live with actual risk like the rest of us. The current admin will protect him. He is also wealthy already and after his exit can simply pay for ongoing security by jumping into the rightwing media grift machine. He will shit out a book, do some podcasts and the LEO conference speaking circuit, and never need to worry for his safety like the people he and his fascist organization have threatened and brutalized.
Unless he's on some kind of regular protection I wouldn't be surprised if someone in California takes it upon themselves to dispatch of this guy. Unfortunate that he (most likely) won't ever stand trial.
Are (Paper Towel Brand)'s legal? Asking for a friend.
Honestly, it doesn't matter where he goes. His ren and stimpy face has been plastered everywhere smiling and sig hieling like an idiot.
Calling it now:
This is a bid from the GOP to convince Dems to fund DHS and stop the shutdown from happening.
And the dumb ass Dems might actually take the bait and pretend its a victory
That’s exactly what they are going to fucking do.
And the dumb ass Dems might actually take the bait and pretend its a victory
Might? It's almost a certainty at this point 😮💨
My understanding is that a shutdown would not stop ICE. They would not be part of that.
The Dems have made a list of demands about ICE, the DHS and Border Patrol, that ultimately amount to not even a wrist slap.
The GOP is refusing to move an inch on it.
The Dems are now threatening a shutdown if their demands aren't met.
Now the Dems are colossal pussies, so they'll likely capitulate again. That being said, Trump and the rest of the fascists know they took the bigger reputation L with the last shutdown, and they're afraid of another.
Yes, but ICE and CPB are already funded, and would continue to operate during a government shutdown, unless I'm mistaken.
They got 200 billion last year.
But he only got to use his SS-wannabe coat in one photo op. This is hardly fair.
spoiler
/s
fair
I first read that as flair. As in Trump fired him because he didn't have enough pieces of flair on. Like, Trump was counting and only saw 6 piece of fascist flair, and well..
That's the minimum, Greg. Do you want to go through life just doing the minimum?
He's worn that shit dozens of times.
I hope he lives long enough to stand trial once a same government reemerges. Would love to see this fucker prosecuted and standing before a firing squad.
He won't. The border patrol has killed hundreds of people over the years and it's not going to suddenly start mattering anytime soon.
Only reason we know this dude is because he's especially stupid about it, just like his boss.
You hang them like common criminals, you don't shoot them like soldiers:
Göring made an appeal asking to be shot as a soldier instead of hanged as a common criminal, but the court refused.
To paraphrase my betters, I would never wish a man dead but I long to read this fuckers obituary. Ah, who am I kidding. I'm wishing as hard as I can for more than a few of these guys shuck their mortal coils.
You think these dems will take it back?
Perhaps they will, but they certainly wont use what they are given.
Good, but ICE is still operating in Twin Cities and is also targeting to Maine now. The pressure on elected officials to abolish ICE and DHS must continue. DHS funding must be stripped.
Bovino was alway going to be a fall guy and this isn’t nearly enough punishment for him. Jonathan Ross is still at large and the officers that executed Alex Pretti are still out there.
Every time I hear his name I can't help but think of a cow, but this guy is full of more bullshit than any 4-legged bovine
Instead of "could retire" make it "will be jailed"
Jail is too nice
I bet when he retires he's gonna take off that uniform. Now that I can't abide.
The apple is rotten to the core. Taking this sadistic MF out isn’t going to fix anything when they’ve given all the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys badges and paychecks.
We need to track him down and make his life hell.
Oh no! The 1/3 Reich is leaving.
They want us to forget about him so he's not held accountable. If we hold him accountable then future people in positions like his might second guess their decisions.
ICEhole.
I bet he did Nazi that coming.
Ties his shoes with little knotzies.
Go retire from this mortal coil you gravy seals wannabe.
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SHITHEAD RIGHT BEHIND HIM when the fuck will you people get it. Tear the cancer out at the root
Tldr. ...do they mean retire as in his life force being lost?
He's going to try and escape responsibility.
Leave the job, go elsewhere for a bit and quietly retire so he's forgotten as the shit continues under someone else.
He's ... 56? now, and mandatory retirement age is 57, so he was planning to leave soon anyway. This is just him being moved off the board in an attempt to reset public opinion regarding ICE operations and de-escalate the resistance.
You know that scene in Iron Man where Tony leaves the one terrorist to the families? "He's all yours."
Just saying, that's a great scene.
"He needs to be retired" is not the same as retiring.
No, retire as in under a truck
Retire and leave the country
He should be fired... out of a canon... into the sun. (That's a "Futurama" reference for those who are likely to overreact)
Whoever called him a Christmas adventurer, I can’t unsee it now.
I prefer he be REVOKED instead of being allowed to retire. And I mean "revoked" here as in the court finds life itself to be in contempt of him and is ordered here forthwith to remain no closer than 500 yards from his body.
