“I just came for the badge and gun. You mean I gotta learn shit? Fuck that, I’m out of here.”
Giving them too much credit, it's not the requirement to learn things keeping them out, it's their inability to learn things, or even look things up in a book. If they knew how to learn things or find information in books, they probably wouldn't be applying for ICE in the first place.

Presumably those are the ones passing the open book test? Those comments were about the people failing :)
Yes, there are definitely literate fascists and racists out there.

Clicked that link and got this:
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now.
A new Mississippi law requires us to implement age verification for all users before they can access Bluesky. We think this law creates challenges that go beyond its child safety goals, and creates significant barriers that limit free speech and disproportionately harm smaller platforms and emerging technologies.
As a small team, we cannot justify building the expensive infrastructure this requirement demands while legal challenges to this law are pending.
For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access to Bluesky in the state of Mississippi.
Does Bluesky allow porn? I've never attempted to visit the site until today, but thought it was just Twitter for Musk haters.

Greenman gets a lesson about the Republican leaders of his state enacting laws to restrict his and his fellow citizens' freedom of access to information and right to view and join an arbitrary list of websites without providing proof of identity, and forcing private businesses to demand and keep personally identifiable information about him. Will he learn something from this? No. But he will say 'butt hurt' again like an eight year old.

https://bsky.app/profile/blasphemousjones.bsky.social/ post /3m3qynkspi22w


that's the correct address just get rid of teh spaces between post..... @Greenman not porn, just some guy yelling angrily at ice agents in Chicago suburbs
I noticed it on another link posted here yesterday, for some reason some of the slashes were registering as %2F, if you replace them with slashes manually it seems to work.

Half the new recruits can't pass an open book test. I don't think they're doing much thinking.
At this pace, those recruits quality wise would end to be far worse than the meat fodder Russian sends to Ukraine if not already are on that status.

I mean only recruit brutes and gorillas on that group.

What happens if the ICE attacks the US army? it would be interesting how might end. The state army figthing against a private one XD
This year they gave ICE a larger budget than the Russian military.
Also, unless there is an actual act of insurrection from the State against the Feds, that military will be working for POTUS and with ICE, not against them.
