Ok I don’t care about Epstein files or ICE anymore, let’s go back up. Thank you, Mr. President. I nominate you for Nobel prize and will watch Melania three times in theaters. Please invade Greenland.

Recent reporting has suggested that Palantir has helped DHS build databases of US citizens with anti-ICE views. Why would the Democrats tolerate a company that spied on their own voters?

unbeknownst to me, my investment portfolio was shielding Hamas and a frequent visitor to Little St James and participated in anti-ICE agitation and liked Jimmy Kimmel and brought fentanyl over the border and thought Greenland should stay with Denmark what did i miss

“We must federalize elections” “Let’s invade Greenland and/or Venezuela!” “ICE at the polls” You’re right, dooming seems quite rational to me about these guys. 🤷‍♂️ But you’re welcome to trade with state police/national guard and federal agents/troops in the streets if you want to, man.

They want to scare away non-white voters from polling stations who would maybe fear harrasment by armed ICE agents and definitely discourage legal migrants with a right to vote from going to the booths. He's basically saying they will be there to catch "illegals" trying to vote for the Democrats which has been a common fixture of their conspiracy theories on how the Left have stolen elections. This is the actions of a tyrannical government and if you don't do something about it, these people are going to destroy any notion of Democracy you have left.

Learn from the Germany or Poland 1939 History, or: "...In 1939 Russia, the ICE (Internal Security Agency NKVD after Stalin death renamed to KGB) was composed of highly paid "volunteers" operating Above the Law, covering faces with "Budenovka" Balaclavas ski masks . They arrested millions of people off the streets. Initially, they targeted illegal immigrants-many from various nations who had moved in after the 1917 revolution. Soon, to meet 3k arrests per day quotas, the purges expanded rapidly to include any military personnel, police, ethnic minorities, natives, and ordinary citizens, often based on petty or suspicious reasons. If they disliked your hat, trousers, skin color (Gypsies, Armenians), what you said or wrote, or even how you smiled, you could be targeted. Russians quickly learned not to smile at all. The majority of those arrested were shot and killed- many buried in mass graves, some containing over 30,000 victims during the period known as the Great Purge. This brutal crackdown followed the Red Terror campaign, which also claimed millions of lives. After Stalin’s death, 99% of those imprisoned or executed were posthumously rehabilitated, recognized as innocent. The Soviet government issued official apologies to the 20 million families of the victims: “We are sorry your daughter (son, husband, father, mother) was wrongfully killed. We acknowledge our mistake. As a token of regret, here is $1 for your loss!” (1993) KJV: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone and shall be tormented for ever and ever. 1.

Hold on. First of all, I don't trust FIFA: anyone who would give Trump a peace medal is spineless and 100% catering to a fascist dictator purely for financial reasons. So, do we really trust Infantino when he claims tickets are breaking records? Second, you missed something critical: the new Visa bans for people from at least 39 countries, many of them FIFA contenders. Yes, the TEAMS are allowed to compete in the US and get entry, but not the FANS. That is the new immigration law. Our fascist dictator does not care how much you paid for a FIFA ticket. Second, we are being MURDERED in the streets and people are being detained, beaten or killed regardless of legal status..with NO LEGAL RECOIRSE in violent opposition to our laws. If you speak another language or have dark skin you are almost guaranteed to be assaulted and detained if ICE is nearby. And now to drop some sense: If you were ICE and needed to meet a quota of arresting 8 people a day regardless of NATIONALITY or LEGAL STATUS, where the hell else would you go looking if not at a FIFA game??? ICE can simply arrest anyone coming to the game or departing: that's where all the Latinos will be for sure. You are NOT safe here. Don't be foolish and think you can't get shot. Trump doesn't care if you go home in a body bag, and unless you have been under a rock you will know that your race cannot protect you here, regardless of what it is. If you want to go to a FIFA game you will be smart to go to Mexico or Canada and skip the U.S. We are US citizens and want to go to the games in Houston TX but told my husband we are boycotting.

"Stop calling ICE the Gestapo! They're Law Enforcement Officers who put their lives on the line to protect our country!" So you have a paramilitary organization that is exceeding the parameters of their official jurisdiction, "enforcing" laws that aren't theirs to enforce in areas they shouldnt be in. And now you want to expand that to put these armed men at polling places. These same men, who by the way discriminate based solely on a visual basis, will frighten brown voters from going to a polling place because they "may not be able to prove their citizenship." (Papers please) Which again, you should never have to do. Oh, and anyone that disagrees with them is assaulted and possibly murdered. Please tell me how theyre NOT the Gestapo?

OK_x86

Remember when they started this dumb narrative that illegals were getting social security numbers that let them vote even though that's complete nonsense? Well anyway now they have a reason to have ICE there. ICE will be there to snatch people of color up and prevent them from voting.

I’ve got a hunch. I think his base and some people are answering the poll wrong. I think these people don’t connect what’s going on and it being Trump’s fault. Anyone who follows current events (60%) know the job he’s doing and blame him for Alex Pretti and Renee Good, a slumping dollar, threatening to invade countries. But the remaining 40% knowingly and unknowingly give him a pass if they either aren’t informed, don’t connect Trump to certain events, and about 5% who can’t get the free points on the SAT to spell their name right. Because I’ve been trying to understand the data. The right track wrong track question doesn’t match while republicans control all of it. Trump has a higher approval rating than the direction of the country. But I’m also willing to guess that these polls are a hell of a lot less scientific and are cooked for the specific storyline/narratives. Harvard just released a poll saying he’s doing a good job in Minneapolis and has record approval ratings. Nothing that others are reporting. I wonder if this has anything to do with the ransom they paid last year? Then RCP which I think is owned by CBS now blends in these cooked polls that are historically unapologetically 7 points more in favor to Trump and treats it like equal data. Nate Silver does this too. They hold the outliers for the narrative, but it’s irresponsible if they know these don’t reflect real conditions. If you weigh it for integrity of the poll, his approval rating would be around 36-38% and it doesn’t move. That matches his support. 32% registered voters voted for him and another 10% probably would have if they were forced off the couch in November. You see, the poll of this or that doesn’t include the action of going to the polling place. That’s always a guess. And this is 40% approval of the coverage of what he’s doing. States don’t see the brutality of ICE once they leave the state because of controlled platforms censoring it on reddit, instagram, and tiktok along with sinclair owning local news stations, and the larger networks self-censoring.

>no, the point is No, I get to determine what point I'm making, thanks. >that Republicans dont want BLS to produce the reports, because these reports would show how much they screwed up. Ah, yes, clearly their strategy to stop the BLS reporting was... disagreeing with Democrats over funding of the *DHS*, leading to an extremely short shutdown which they're both working to resolve literally right now. It all makes sense! Clearly all their funding of ICE and their brutal tactics have *really* been to force an appropriations clash that would achieve a 2-business-day shutdown of a statistics agency and a mild delay of a *single report*! It's 11D chess! Come off it. You are a conspiracy nut. >Also why so rabid? Cant have a normal conversation? You accused me of lying then were repeatedly unable to point to a single lie or even *inaccuracy* in anything I said. You've also *repeatedly* insisted I'm defending Republicans on the basis that I'm defending an agency *literally currently run by an Obama admin appointee* and defended by Democrats. You are knowingly arguing in bad faith and that makes you worthy of scorn. You have never read a BLS report yourself in your life, and probably haven't even visited their site. You were obviously completely unaware of their previous shutdowns, of who runs the agency, of how well-regarded they are by Democrats. You are just scrambling from point to point trying to find a foothold because you have *no fucking idea what you are talking about* but your ego won't let you admit you've just been getting your news from Reddit and talking out your ass.

I’m not saying it is wrong to have beliefs or opinions hell I’m a liberal and I agreed with republicans about getting the deficit under control. However I knew Trump wouldn’t be able to do that and to watch the conservatives then say it doesn’t matter. That is what gets me, at least have the balls to stick YOUR opinion. I also agree with that it is both sides that do this but I see it more in democrat politicians that cry foul but then do nothing. Look at the ICE budget right now. Though I would say democrat voters as a whole tend to call foul and then want change. Only if they could get their head out of the sand and vote out incumbents who have been in office for 40 years and just want to be in power.

You're confused about the part of American politics that Europeans actually care about. A sane US administration could have easily introduced effective protectionist measures intended to benefit the American worker without anyone but some handful of globalist shills writing for liberal mainstream publications caring about it. But Trump's approach to international security decisively triggered the "We can't be dependent on Americans for anything" protocols and even people who'd cheer for Euro-ICE rounding up brown people on our streets understand that.

PLTR - Palantir They’re just getting started. They have the best platform in the world to drive value from AI embedded in operations. Yes, their software is used by ICE. If you don’t like how ICE is using their software, take it up with ICE. If a man murders your spouse with the world’s best hammer, are you going to be pissed off at the man, the hammer, or the manufacturer of the hammer? They’re doing amazing things in US commercial, healthcare, and too many non-controversial industries to name here. I believe they will be the most important software company in the world in a decade.

Even the idea that a cheaper dollar would mean more exports is unlikely and number of tourists have also declined thanks to the trade war tensions and ICE. And no competent trade partner would continue look at the USA as a reliable partner going forward. Thats one of the biggest reasons foreign stocks increased. The only thing these tariffs achieved is to tax the American people and make space for tax cuts for the rich (and also subsidize farmers from the self inflicted trade war).

Thanks for bringing this up so we can have a friendly comparison. No doubt your point is made in good faith and you want to know WHY we complain now and didn't quite so much before. Under Obama: - ICE policy didn't allow for no-warrant arrests. When this happened the ICE agents were generally fired. - Policy didn't allow for agents to enter schools, courts, churches or hospitals without permission for enforcement - ICE Policy didn't allow arrests of legal asylum seekers. - ICE Policy didn't allow arrests of immigrants (illegal and otherwise) actively making required court appointments. - Didn't arrest nearly as many US citizens - Didn't arrest immigrants who didn't otherwise have criminal offenses - ICE weren't given military-grade vehicles - Policy didn't allow for enforcement in areas where local government actively and legally requested no assistance. - Locked kids in cages, yes, but only those who crossed the border with no family, and attempts were made to contact family for swift return. When crossing with family, families were kept together. - ICE agents weren't allowed to cover their faces or drive in unmarked vehicles and were required tr identify themselves when requested. - Racial Profiling did happen, but nowhere near as often, and was officially against policy - Most ICE agents weren't given high-powered weapons. - The US President wasn't directly involved in ordering ICE action in specific non-border locations, for example US cities and states he didn't like - ICE training was drastically more extensive - Deaths were treated as a serious matter with rigorous investigation and resulting in policy changes - ICE hiring policies were much more systematic and rigorous to ensure quality candidates - ICE budget was dramatically, dramatically lower and more reasonable. Now it's $72B, higher than all other security agencies combined. There's like fifty more of these, but since I'm guessing you probably yelled "FAKE NEWS" at the first one, and then went on Trump Social to see what your daddy tells you to say, I won't keep going.

Those two shootings are just leverage for the Democrats as they don't actually care about lost lives, they just want more leverage against Trump. The Democrats are waiting for their windfall leverage of a black person getting shot dead by a white ICE agent. This is what they hope and pray for ..and why they are actively encouraging more blacks to join anti ice protests. ..whites killing whites just doesn't have the kind of leverage they're after.

ICE are the enforcers of policy. If not ICE, some other department would enforce the policy.

Democrats had no problems with complying and endorsing ICE brutality under Obama.

So ICE gonna have body cameras now. Who’s supplying? AXON?

This is referring to icy roads not ICE. There was an ice storm last week.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the technology, unfortunately. Back in September, SCOTUS, with a 6-3 ruling, allowed ICE to use race, ethnicity, and language as probably cause for investigative stops. Knowing who they’ve hired for ICE, they’re a bunch of racists chomping at the bit to be able to “legally” harass immigrants and people who aren’t white, straight, conservatives.

Everyone has their own boundaries be it stock companies you invest in, artists you follow etc. I invest in military equities for example though sometimes I agree with their utilization and sometimes I don’t. Palantir software is being used actively by ICE. I have major issues with how ice is operating and the impact it’s having on tens or hundreds of thousands of migrants. To me it would be hypocritical and unethical to buy shares of a company who is directly aiding in something I find very objectionable. It’s a boundary I decided for myself I won’t cross. We each decide our own boundaries but there are of course meritorious reasons for doing so and disregarding them purely for profit goes against principles we strive for in society.

I don’t get the moral outrage here. It usually comes from a misunderstanding of what Palantir actually does. Palantir provides data integration and analytics platforms; it doesn’t create immigration policy, make enforcement decisions, or “run” ICE operations. It’s closer to infrastructure software. If ICE used Excel, Oracle, or Microsoft databases to organize information, no one would claim those companies are responsible for enforcement outcomes. Blaming Palantir for how a government agency uses analytics software confuses the tool with the policy decisions behind it.

Obviously PLTR was going to beat with their *execution* bonuses from ICE

The sad thing is this kind of tech could be (and has been) used for such great things But here we are, giving AI algorithm tech to ICE and company. This type of software was crucial in stuff like vaccine distribution during covid. Or it can be amazing for supply chain efficiency and lowering emissions for example. It really sucks

Calm down and be rational ppl. It's likely ICE would be even more scatter gun and worse at their jobs if not for PLTR.
