It's a show of force. Don't fuck with us (I'm not part of the 'us' in that lol).
I bet there's a soft-copy of this flier circulating on the Internet now, because this distributor likely knew what was going to be the end result.
I would love to see that. I've only seen a photo of one in the Fox News article.
I've hated ice before it was cool
The US did so much more damage to itself in response to 9/11 than the event itself, maybe even more than its perpetrators hoped for.
which was legitimately the purpose of the attacks themselves. everything basically went exactly according to al qaeda's plan.
It seems that way now more than ever.
Quotes from one of his speeches:
…we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat….
So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah….
All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies….
…every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs.
As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.
And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the mujahidin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, which is evidence of the success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan…
And it all shows that the real loser is…you.
It is the American people and their economy.
66,000 arrests?
Hardly.
Probably closer to 7,000. Still awful, but it's cute that they're inflating the numbers so much.
You think ICE would do that? They'd just lie about their intent and achievements?
If you think you may be arrested by the Gestapo, but booby traps around your house and a rifle next to the door as well as cameras all over your property.
So you'll get shot to death instead of arrested?
As long as you can take at least one fascist down with you, it may be worth it.
Theyre the ones broadcasting it, make it a real show
Someone just won a long holiday in El Salvador.
Kinda flippant way to say they will get put in a US concentration camp.
I know nazism is the norm in the US now, but for most of the world, it's still considered ghoulish.
The flippant comment is my way to use cynicism to express how utterly appalled I am by what's going on in the US.
If you haven't seen the drone footage yet, I recommend it. Unfortunately, it seems that it's only on Fox, and I won't utter their links here. The video illustrates the situation of the country really well. It also reminds me that this unusual situation didn't just drop out of the blue. It's been building for decades. Also, many news outlets seem to be still keeping the "both sides" perspective on these outrageous acts, as the Overton Window keeps moving right using neutral language for bizarre power grabs.

Sort of like the article with the headline "us preparing for unilateral military action against cartels in Mexico"
I'm sorry, did you mean: "US is planning to invade Mexico."
"US throws surprise military parade in Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans attend. Traffic jam as spectators laying supine in pine boxes clog the roadways."
Here is a video link from corpo social media, maybe that's one better, it was good enough for Migrant Insider:

It's a literal traffic jam of cops.
Thanks! It's still better than Fox News, at least slightly.

I will never not upvote SOAD.
Except John. Fuck that clown.
Agreed. I can only imagine what their personal conversations are like.
Serj: Okay, this one's going to be about the prison industrial complex.
John: Yeah! More prisons! More prisons!
Serj: Dude, no. Here, take these. Why don't you go color something pretty while the adults talk.
John: [crayon munching noises]
Fox share posters?
Sorry, I don't quite understand. Would you rephrase that?
ICE come for sharing posters. Why no fox share posters?
Maybe complete sentences might benefit you here...
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
The Fox article does have an image of one of the posters, if that's what you're asking. Sorry if it seems like I'm being obtuse.
Thank you.
Because the current administration is acting with impunity, meaning they don't feel the need to explain themselves while they hold themselves above the law.
If anyone has a copy of the fliers I'd love to see them.
