    The explosive Daily Mail report found that the administration’s $50,000 signing bonus attracted droves of unqualified recruits — high school grads who can “barely read or write,” overweight candidates with doctor’s notes saying they’re unfit, and even applicants with pending criminal charges.

    The report exposed how Immigration and Customs Enforcement took a blowtorch to hiring standards, with one Department of Homeland Security official blasting: “We have people failing open-book tests and we have folks that can barely read or write English.”

    Born to late to sail the high seas, born to soon to explore the stars, born just in time to be shot in the face by an ice nazi.

    Oh he was trained. This shit wasn’t a fluke. We’ve reached “Nazis patrolling our streets, executing civilians on the president’s orders” stage of US collapse. This will continue until people start shooting back.

      Calling them nazis is probably giving them too much credit at this point, really. Nazis had style and working logistics for their pure evil, these imbeciles can’t even look decent - or fucking read. Sub-bar fascist scum

        On one hand, yes… but on the other, I think that’s part of why they’re so successful. We constantly give Trump and people like Trump the village idiot pass - we don’t take them seriously because we wave off their malice as just stupidity.

        If Trump actually behaved competently, he’d have been in prison ages ago.

        …it’s the fucking Darth Jar Jar theory, but it’s happening in real time.

          Oh certainly, the top brass has to have at least some people who know what they’re doing, or the whole thing couldn’t even be happening as the logistics always require some management. But these bottom tier wannabe-nazi-thugs sure as hell don’t appear to be the sharpest tools in the shack

        The SA was a lot like ice they were undisciplined thugs who roamed the streets killing and arresting Jews and dissidents. The Gestapo came after and we’re the “elite”. Most of the SA men ended up in the military. In Germany 50% of boys and men were killed in WW2 facism comes with a heavy price tag

          Logistics working doesn’t mean their command chain was somehow “well-organized”. But they had supply chains and production etc. working to a degree, or they couldn’t have waged the war they way they did - even these wacko nazi-wannabes must have some sort of logistics going on or they couldn’t be operating at all, but I’m criticizing their abilities to do even the bare minimum

          Edit// Maybe a better word would be “insulting”. I’m insulting the inhumane bastards and their severely lacking abilities
