ICE, Standing Around Airports, Not Doing Masks

Here are a number of pictures from airports around the country, where ICE agents are standing around, doing nothing. But at least they're not out on the streets, detaining, beating and murdering Americans.

One thing is clear: This is, yet another unbaked Trump policy that wasn't thought out by anyone. Trump just gave an order with zero thought of implementation, and nobody else in the downstream shit flow had any idea of what to do.

Funny how they're now not worried about somebody taking their pictures.

A KC-390:

Fly the Fiendish Skies, If You Can

Flights are being cut back:

United Airlines plans to cut less popular flights — including mid-week and overnights — until the fall, in response to surging fuel prices triggered by the war in Iran, CEO Scott Kirby said Friday in a company memo.

Jet fuel prices have “more than doubled in the last three weeks,” Kirby said. US jet fuel prices rose to $4.56 per gallon on Friday, up from $2.50 on February 27, before the war started, according to data from Argus Media. That could cost United an extra $11 billion this year alone — more than double what the company has earned during its best year, Kirby noted.

And when you go to the airport, you might get groped by a goon whose previous posting was clubbing brown people. That there are over twice as many TSA agents as ICE agents doesn't matter to Grampaw Pedo the Sundowner.

Remember When tRump and the Rest of the Right Went Batshit Over Anyone Saying Anything Bad About Charlie Kirk After He Got Shot Dead?

This was then:

The rules are different for people that St.Upid of Dementia dislikes:

Remember this, because I will. I'll remind you every time someone on the Right dies and clowns like the Hillbilly CouchFucker starts clutching his pearls and hyperventilating about how we on the Left are so, so mean to the memeories of his Wingnut Gods.

ET-- Muller and Trump, sixty years ago:

To be fair, the "reform school" that Trump was sent to was one that rich parents sent troubled kids to, not one of the greybar schools that a juvie court would have sent him to.

What One Normally Does in a War, Right?

Allow the enemy to sell products to help fund their war machines. That is what Trump is doing for both Russia and Iran.

The Orange Dimwit thinks that he's helping global energy markets, but what's at sea in those tankers probably amounts to a popcorn fart in the market. But what it does is put money in the pockets of hostile regimes to fund their side of the wars.

And Russia is hostile, make no mistake about that.

Meanwhile, Commandante Bone Spurs, who dodged the draft with an allegedly fake ailment and who reportedly threatened to disown his kids if they joined the military after 9-11, and who regards those who serve in the military as "suckers" and "losers", thinks that countries that won't help him clean up his mess are cowards.

Anone see Trump's youngest child or his oldest grandkids walking into a recruiting station lately? Or those of any of his Cabinet officers or advisors? No? I thought not.

ETA: And he's just fucking delusional.

Caturday

Specks looks for competition.

A Real Truth

There's a twisted cosmic symmetry to both Putin and Trump getting themselves embroilled in endless costly conflicts they're too proud to extracate themselves from, which they failed to warn their allies they'd be fighting, and which they baselessly assumed would be easy victories won within days.

Only Fascists and Nazis Defend What ICE is Doing

And if that shoe fits you, wear it.

This is what ICE is doing:

On Jan,. 23, Judge Gary Klausner, a George W. Bush appointee in the Los Angeles area, ordered the release of a 70-year-old Iranian woman who was ordered deported in 1999 but whose deportation could not be effectuated at the time. She was detained by ICE in November, but when she filed a lawsuit seeking release, the administration did “not have an opposition argument to present.”

Klausner was floored: “It appears that Respondents arrested a chronically ill, 70-year-old woman, who came to this country to avoid religious persecution and applied for asylum, who has lived here peacefully for 26 years and complied with all check-in requirements and other conditions of release, who has no known criminal record and poses no threat to anyone …then kept her in detention for months without sufficient medical care—and they do not have any argument to offer to even try to justify these actions.”

If you work for ICE or the Border Patrol, you are a stain on the Constitution. You probably wipe your ass with the American Flag.

You dishonor all of us. We are all diminished by your rampant lawlessness.

Quit and find a job more in keeping with your talents, like working in a pork meatpacking plant.

Because It's Friday

More winter steam.
