This isn't how you build morale for a ground war in a foreign nation.
If you were to ask for the personification of “The beatings will continue until morale improves” I’m not sure you could do much better than Pete’s dumbass face.
Send ICE to the Middle East. Their budget is big enough.
Or stop endangering Iranians and have Americans get off their arses and stop ICE themselves.
Why the fuck should Iran have to be the ones to shoot at ICE or any other of the evil empires thugs.
have Americans get off their arses and stop ICE themselves
I'm reminded of folks who thought kids doing human wave attacks would be a good deterrent to school shooters.
Yea clearly the solution is to offload the work onto other nations.
I would say that the Prince of Saud and the Prime Minister of the UK have significantly more influence over the behaviors of the US Federal Government than some random ditch-kicking voter in Peoria.
Hell, I'm cheering and clapping like a trained seal for the brave freedom-fighting IRGC right now. They've spent the last 40 years arming themselves and training to resist the full might of the US military. I have not.

Slacker!
There are only about 20,000 ICE agents, even if you only count Democrat voters in 2024 ICE is outnumbered 1:3750.
Have you considered the people doing this are fucking idiots?
Is morale lethality? No? Then it can go get fucked with logistics and strategy. Fucking nerd.
Sure it is. Gotta let the troops know what they're fighting for.
Do these stories change minds, or are conservatives such masters of cognitive dissonance that nothing at all will cause them to defect from their in-group?
I have seen many posts on X (Twitter) like this one, and after reading the comments, I can confirm that the latter is true. It truly seems to me that conservatives are incapable of empathy.
Keep in mind that a significant portion of internet comments are bots, especially on X.
That's exactly what a bot would say!
Kidding. I know. You're right.
Exactly. They just shrug and go, "Oh, well. Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Has he considered marrying a white woman? He should head to his local church, I'm sure there's a nice young thing he can scoop up there."
She was a Sunday school teacher so it’s possible that’s where he got this one
conservatives aren't hearing stories like this very much, they certainly don't read the guardian
they have an alternate algorithm. when news like this come up, they perceive it as negative and it impacts whatever engagement they have. Similar to how we start to tune out of stuff that make us upset.
They went all in on and are double downing on "fake news" because they identify with their leader all too well.
edit: the jubilee videos are a good example of how they'll rush to debate a "lib", but they all can't agree with each other's facts its insane.
Cognitive dissonance isn’t a skill, it’s a bias. Generally the way it goes is that the worse things get, the tighter people hold on to their existing belief.
Think about it like this: people living in a prehistoric village are suffering from a famine. Under a lot of stress, people start arguing with each other about what the group should be doing. One person is suffering from cognitive dissonance because they believe the group has the wrong idea. Now, should that person abandon the group and go off on their own? Or should they stick it out and just try to survive?
Evolution favours sticking with the group. Hence cognitive dissonance resolves into status quo bias. Now you might say we’re no longer in that sort of situation. That doesn’t matter actually, because our brains are basically the same as they were 10,000 years ago! We have all the same biases, it’s our environment that has changed so much.
So why is it different for you or me? Simple. We’re part of different groups than they are.
Conservative don't go to platforms that have these kinds of stories.
It's an echo chamber remember?
doubtful they dont arnt fed these stories on places like FOX, conservative radio, or right wing media. its to keep these people ignorant.
They never hear about it. And if they do, they assume she did something to antagonize ice and it was his fault for not "controlling his woman".
And all the heroic men and women in The God Blessed United States Military will just talk about how this troubles them but they serve the flag, not the rapist giving them orders and that if people don't start properly respecting them then they don't see a reason to care.
I always thought that a small part of the reason that we, as a nation, try to respect our military and veterans is that it's a bad idea to train people to be good at killing other people, and then to antagonize them.
The higher ups wouldn't want to create a situation where they might become a target. But lately it seems like the civilian government has become much more abusive to the military and veterans. It's so foolish.
It's like training Batman and then constantly trying to piss him off by attacking his city and family.
"Total institutionalization."
the gop has pretty much are the abusers, and gaslights the veterans, and convince them that being using as cannon fodder is good. plus all the dinos that support this,
"Are you a bad enough dude to save your wife?"
"Alternatively, are you a bad enough dude to **** the president?"
Nope. Never going to be a bad enough dude to fuck the Mango Mussolini.
Save your wife and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I always think of that one tweet. I'll serve crack before I serve this country.
Ramos’s plight is one of only several instances that contradict Trump’s initial claims that his ongoing immigration crackdown would prioritize deporting dangerous criminals.
They really need better editing. It's clear from the rest of the paragraph they didn't mean the 'only' but it's a rather unfortunate error.
Despicable. But very naive that she went into the office to try to sort this out in person. Should have sent a lawyer instead. I guess some people don't follow the news very closely.
They think that because they voted for trump they're exempt from the consequences they've forced on others.
Well I doubt this woman voted for anyone since she has no legal status.
I follow the news and even I am always a little shocked by this. A few years ago they would have helped her and then touted it as an example of how well we treat our military.
What a shame. He looks filled with hope for the future and crayons for lunch.
I understand the confusion, but this is an Army sergeant, not a Marine.
Looks like it's a whole box for me!
Sounds like a soldier needs to use what he's been trained to do....
I’ve met multiple people who married immigrants who overstayed their visa and had to deport for something like 5-10 years before being let into the US.
The citizen doesn’t need to leave obviously, but in the multiple cases I’ve personally known dating back to the 90s, the partner leaves the country to be with them until they can come back.
This is however not how it works if you marry someone here on a legitimate visa. Generally after marrying within the timeline of a visa before it expires you can stay with the citizen. My wife did this, and we just finished the process recently. You still need to get your paperwork in, but there’s some kind of grace period due to the marriage physically in the US along with the petition.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
