These people have never been involved in government hiring. It's going to take loving ages to hire ICE agents.

I too am shocked that a man who's much talked-about construction deals routinely used undocumented labor paid below market rates doesn't know much about actual hiring practices.

NPR did an interview the other day with someone who used to be high up in Border Patrol and they had real issues finding enough qualified people to fill the desired increases because so many people were just straight up felons who wanted to smuggle drugs. I'm assuming something similar's gonna happen here.

You beat me to this. If we thought LEO was bad and abusive now, a mass hiring on the scale they're hinting will make current law enforcement look like a bastion of civil and fair justice.

It's interesting to here that there isn't any "strong local media" as being in NYC has spoiled me in many ways, but the voracious appetite it has on digging poo poo up on Deblazio, Cuomo, and other state leaders is both strong and good.

yeah our border is going to become even more porous if they ramp up hiring

we thought the heroin epidemic was bad now, it will be nothing compared to what it's like when we lose the ACA and Jack Dildo, rookie CBP agent, gets a $10,000 "bonus" from drug cartels to let them smuggle in tractor trailers full of heroin

So you're saying I could make quite a buck as a border patrol agent

gerrymandered to gently caress and back thats what its like

the reason courts told the gop state government to gently caress off with their busted rear end map and try again has oh i dont know something to do with getting slightly more than half the votes in wisconsin but hold about two thirds of both state legislatures

im trying to find current maps for you but apparently wisconsin is just too rural and agricultural to justify putting numbers from a chart into a picture

if i find something ill post it

until then madison (represent) and milwaukee are as safe as any democratic stronghold in the nation with some smatterings of blue elsewhere around the state pretty much if you have a university of wisconsin campus in your area youll lean blue and if you dont well you dint need none of that book larnin anywho so hold mah leinies original and watch me vote to destroy the union because it pisses off those madison hippie faggots

Is this right?
holy gently caress, boyd county:

http://www.kentucky.com/news/state/article134722264.html

quote:

An Eastern Kentucky police chief has removed large decals with the Punisher skull and “Blue Lives Matter” from eight police cars after a backlash following the publication of a Herald-Leader story.

hmm, a punisher skull on police cruisers? well why would you do

quote:

“That design is basically to give back to the police officers,” Logan, who has been with the department for 13 years, said before reversing course on the emblems. “Our lives matter just as much as anybody’s. ... I’m not racist or anything like that, I’m not trying to stir anything up like that. I consider it to be a ‘warrior logo.’ Just cause it has ‘Blue Lives Matter’ on the hood, all lives matter. That decal represents that we will take any means necessary to keep our community safe."

just a tip, if you're defending something you do and, unprompted, you feel compelled to say "I'm not a racist" you're most definitely a loving racist

quote:

“I don’t see why they’d waste the money, honestly,” said Brown, a Catlettsburg native whose family owns the IGA grocery in town. “My main objective is to make sure the taxpayers’ money is used in the most efficient way possible. It wasn’t expensive, but still. If it’s something they feel strongly about, they’re risking their lives and I understand that. I just think it’s a little bit strange. There’s been a lot of people mistreated by police, and their lives matter, too, like that guy in North Carolina.”

hey look, a city council member who won't be re-elected lol

quote:

Photos of the Catlettsburg police cars were positively featured on the Kentucky Going Blue’s Facebook page, but on Reddit’s Kentucky community, the response was more critical. Reddit users questioned the legality of the decals and whether the Punisher was “a really poorly thought-out message for a law enforcement agency to be putting out there.”

umm, kentucky's reddit community is a force for good? what in the gently caress?
