Coles Street Pothole“WASHINGTON — ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps.”
Mirror AyakoGreat way to bring up enlistment numbers. Brilliant!
@MirrorAyako It’s madness.
That’s one word for it.
Nazo@MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole I feel like this is kind of the opposite... There's a small amount of animosity between them as it is. This is the kind of thing that could spark something... interesting...
It probably won't happen, but still I feel like they jumped the gun on assuming they have absolute power over everyone and everything a bit here.
Grumble 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@nazokiyoubinbou @MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole I hear you. It would awesome to see some ICE choads try to arrest abuela and then get stomped by the Marine's entire company.
Face Thumb@grumble209 @nazokiyoubinbou @MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole That might be the point. Trump is trying to start something, anything. Any excuse for marshall law and postponed jail, sorry, I mean postponed elections.
@chrisp @grumble209 @MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole He is, but it's more like "protestors dared attack a national guard member" or something, not like "marines defended themselves against ICE."
He needs to pretend he's actually doing something lawful for that to actually work. Actually turning against the army itself is... not going to work right.
Besides, he needs the army to obey his illegal orders in general, including attacks against Eastasia (that's a Nineteen Eighty-Four reference.)
🏴🏳⚧🏴☠@nazokiyoubinbou @chrisp @grumble209 @MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole
what they're doing is even dumber. they actually think they can push out everyone who isn't white, male, and evangelical and still win wars. the officer class has already been weeded out to a major extent and they think the non coms will just blindly follow along.
@coolcalmcollected @nazokiyoubinbou @chrisp @MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole "still win wars"? We gave up on that shit decades ago. That requires strategy and that requires experience and wisdom, which is utterly unwelcome in our 21st Century Idiocracy.
We decided that we will settle for winning some battles. It's not the same thing as winning a war, but it's the best we can do when all we know how to do is spend money and kill people.
Quark Maker@MirrorAyako @ColesStreetPothole Well, there's (likely just loose) talk about reinstating the draft.

Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@ColesStreetPothole I guess families can expect the same gotcha tactics at the dignified transfer of their childrens' remains. Go team.

Trump has always hated the military.
But they are a bunch of boot licking chuds who all need a big daddy, so there has never been any real opposition to him.
@ColesStreetPothole
Yes Daddy, please throw my family into prison.

Chris Adams@ColesStreetPothole @petrillic that denial sure sounded carefully specific, like they’re going to wait until there are fewer cameras.
Is this a typo, or did the DHS spokesperson misspell the name in a written communication? (It's "Parris.")
Coach Pāṇini ®@ColesStreetPothole @acdha @petrillic
They’re not sending their best, and haven’t been for a while.
C. R. Collins 🌳 🐸They have no respect for these troops they're begging for. Disgusting.
decapitae@ColesStreetPothole The depravity of this "organization" 😓.
If shame for this is not felt, it is a sign of psycopathy, sociopathy, or some other degradation of faculty that should exclude said participant from any position involving the interaction with other people where sound reasoning and sound judgement is to required to uphold "law".

OldFartPhil@ColesStreetPothole Congratulations on becoming a Marine, children of undocumented immigrants with birthright citizenship. We might arrest and deport your parents, but don't worry, if Trump has his way at the Supreme Court, you'll be joining them soon.
Thank you for your service.

Artemysia@ColesStreetPothole why yes, I would love to give my life... for the country that throws my cousin or aunty in jail because she doesn't have the right piece of paper...
Ainsley LowbeerIf it's ICE vs. a bunch of pissed off Marines, I'm betting on the Marines.
MissConstrue@AinsleyLowbeer @ColesStreetPothole
If it's ICE and a single Marine, I'd still bet on the jarhead. There's a lot of pent up hooraw in a newly graduated Marine.
Oberst Enzian@ColesStreetPothole I’m unclear why anyone is willing to risk their lives to “defend” the interests of the United States.
Oh that’s right there’s no jobs, they need money, and the feds pay. Sorta. Depends on if there’s a government shutdown.

This is so, so, so fucked up!

Capturing the families of newly graduated Marines would be enough to make those soldiers strike at the very government they've been trained to protect.

@sloanlance @ColesStreetPothole At least they trained them first.

@ColesStreetPothole i am sure that will be just GREAT for morale, right before they send them off to the Middle East
Wulfy—Speaker to the machinesFUCK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
@ColesStreetPothole Y'know, this isn't exactly Home Depot. You fuck with Marines' family members and you're likely not to live that long.
disorderlyf@ColesStreetPothole It occurs to me the more fucked up thing about this is that it almost feels like a massive phishing attempt. If a bunch of would-be marines decide to leave before graduation, they can use the list of no-shows as a list of people they assume are "illegal" or have undocumented family.
Arazil@ColesStreetPothole I wasn't expecting to see "Navy Seals v. Gravy Seals" on this year's bingo card. 
Nuclear OatmealYeah... Go and fuck with a Jarhead's abuela while the Jarhead is right there. I double dog dare you, mother fucker.
Human Brain Enthusiast@ColesStreetPothole @grumpasaurus
They want to provoke violence against “law enforcement”, a MO used by fascist regimes as an excuse for crackdowns and passing bullshit laws.
Tag Your Toe@ColesStreetPothole I'd always kinda figured our top generals would've put an end to this nonsense by now. Guess they're as dickless as our university deans, media CEOs, and the entire Republican Party.
Noortje Van LeeuwenICE / the new brownshirts
@ColesStreetPothole Looking forward to ICE agents getting their asses thoroughly kicked by fresh new Marines.
xs4me2ICE are the new Schutz Staffel…
felixmüde@ColesStreetPothole
Well getting your relatives detained and deported surely makes a great graduation present for those people willing to give their life for your country...

kingmoth@ColesStreetPothole This is the best way to say to the recruits “die for your country, but don’t expect it to be grateful for it”.

MegatronicThronBanks@ColesStreetPothole This will go well!
@ColesStreetPothole ICE 'officers' are just going to start disappearing.
Robert Kist 🇦🇹🇸🇬@ColesStreetPothole governmental schizophrenia. We want people to fight for us... but we're also putting their loved ones in interment camps! .... profit! (because there's always some grift involved these days)
Krzysztof Sakrejda@ColesStreetPothole an opportunity for all Marines to demonstrate unit cohesion
Jones Murphy@ColesStreetPothole Trump won military voters and non-black people of color to hit them with racist xenophobia. Welp. Enjoy your own voting!
