Trump is building his own private army. This sounds like he is spreading them across the globe now.
Oh hon. If those incel mall cops try shit anywhere outside the US it will end very very very poorly.
Which is the point. An international incident is a useful thing.
They're only good for spreading terror to civilians in a country where they have legal immunity. They have no such protections anywhere else they go.
Yeah, the entire globe should ban all DHS officers from entering their borders.
DHS officers are trigger-happy murder machines that hate other cultures.
Seems like a pretty bad idea to send them anywhere besides prison.
Let me guess—they’re going to prevent the US athletes from returning home unless they’re white and/or win medals.
Damn, I knew I missed my calling to become a mediocre athlete, good enough to make it to the Olympics but not enough to medal and use that as my method to get out of the country.
Improved medals when they wear a red hat
MAGA hats will be part of the official uniforms.
Step 1: Designate ICE a terrorist organization. Step 2: Arrest them upon entry. Step 3: I'm sure Europe has a black site the arrested could spend time at during the duration of the Olympics.
The black site:
LOL
Why would the vassal states fight the hegemony? They won't, as much as anyone would love to see it
When I first saw this headline I thought it meant he was going to make them compete in the Olympics.
Only if they change the triathlon to:
- Dodging accountability
- Sitting in a rental truck and eating 4 Taco Bell chalupas
- Pistols at 6 inches while their friends hold the target
Hot dog eating is a summer olympic event.
You still technically win if you shoot all the other competitors before they reach the finish line, right?
This is some Nazi germany shit
Update... Paralympics!
Watch your favorite athletes become Paralympics participants reluctantly. They're running, but can they run faster than pigs? We'll find out!
Introducing the Olympic chokehold event! Introducing swimming, skating and running over to shoot another runner in the back 10 times! Can they really do it? We'll find out! Human powered heating provided by GE. GE is committed to clean human burning electricity.
Yeah, I'm all out of nervous Nazi jokes we can't even say anymore. See you in the oven! I'll be the guy scratching the wall on the south facing wall.
can they run faster than pigs?
well, that's not exactly hard
They will be shooting at you and have drones. Additionally the Olympians with have no shoes and will wear stripes. Don't forget your tatoo.
Wow he doubled down on the orange pancake that day.
I feel like the AI over at The Daily Beast somehow added this sentence randomly into that articles
The two 2028 rivals will represent the U.S. at the games’ opening ceremony on Feb. 6 at Milan’s San Siro stadium.
It's referring to Vance and Rubio, the natural heirs to the throne, who are considered to be rivals in that role. They will apparently be attending, with a squadron of ICE, the games in Italy.
Wow!
That is highly speculative and not supported by any official announcements. Referring to them as rivals without any reference is pretty unfortunate, especially for a media trying to convey news
It's a tabloid, so expectations should probably be starting at unfounded hyperbole.
Oh. I haven't noticed the name before but I feel like it runs off on the community. It shouldn't be in here
I hope everyone boycotts Los Angeles in two years. No one competing except the Bored Of Piece fascists. Anyway, here in San Diego, we weren't looking forward to the traffic.
But, Why? Yes, they're loyal I guess. But it's painfully obvious at this point they are completely inept. So why pick them as your security detail when you have some of the best trained operatives in the world at your disposal?
This is an international incident in the making.
because USSS is more concerned with doing their job than doing krasnov's bidding, so i'm guessing he's trying to phase out their security detail. just speculation, but i'm betting there have been times he's said "rough them up" and they've said "fuck you no"
It really is ridiculous how much they're cribbing off the nazi playbook
the authoritarian/whatever they've been calling it through the centuries i specialize in early 1800s/fascist playbook has been the same every time. i'm used to studying the religious rebellions so i look for the anabaptist/mormon/heaven's gate/people's temple/moonie/rajneeshee similarities (and dear gods are there a lot. dear gods that's a lot of cults to think up off the top of my head) so like, i'm charlie kelly over here with his cork board
Oh i know the fascists have the same tired playbook of themes and markers but the way that the yanks can't even home grow their specific sequences of events is insane
so like, all of the creative people over here are on the other side. if our side had wanted a fascism it would have at least had drag queens and mustache motorcycle parades with rainbow streamers and shit. patrols run by shriners driving around with their fezzes in the gokarts and shit, looking for i dont know, illegal horses and poor dental hygiene, children with cancer who need portation to the hospital to get their cancer treated. i'm really not very good at fascism.
we elected the stupidest people
It's so they can arrest all the players and declare the US Team to be the winner in each competition.
Calling it now: he "acquires" at least one gold medal
The Olympics are happening? Where?
Winter Olympics in Italy
WTF?
they accelerated from every 4 to every 2, with the winters on the ones that aren't multiples of 4. it's a way to help the (already wealthy) olympic athletes have a career being olympic athletes instead of having to get day jobs. at least that's the way i heard it explained
Gotcha. This is the first I've heard about them being on. That's sort of beautiful in its own way. It's amazing what you avoid by not owning a television. Thanks for the info. You may not be the Y but you gave me the what and where, and well , the why too.
