      At this point, after seeing that new budget, I'm just trying to think of ways to defraud the shit out of ICE. They're going to be writing checks without even glancing at the PO unless it's over 10 million

        Right right. But you can't funnel money out of the system if there isn't any going into it.

          The bloated ICE budget isn't just to wage war against immigrants, it's also because they realized the military wouldn't side with them if they tried to seize/retain power. Now they have a massive, well-funded army of racist thugs that answers only to them, sidestepping the Constitution and chain-of-command entirely.

              Send their office an invoice for whatever, they'll probably just pay it.

                  That has to be a market for XXL bulletproof vests. Although it's the US so that's probably already a thing.

                    The military are actually trained though. There's no point trying to train these guys they are military rejects.

                    The US military versus these guys would be more farcical than anything else.

                      Well just like with War on Drugs is not about winning. It's about making as much money off of it as you can. Note they didn't try to address the problems with immigration. They didn't change the Green Card system. They didn't expand the number of immigration judges. They didn't do anything except fund ice and fund more detention centers which are privately run at extremely huge markups.

                        It was the SA back then, the brownshirts. But I think the inspiration is more the Rosgvardiya in Russia

                          The point is that the military will sit it out since they can't be deployed domestically

                            And prison slavery is legal. Guess who will be working the farms

                            Edit: it's legal.

                              Make sure to also provide the service. Otherwise you could get in trouble for fraud.

                                not if the protesters are declared foreign agents/a civil war is declared.

                                look at the Syrian, Sudanese and Egyptian revolutions

                                  If the US gets to that point I don't think those rules will apply anymore.

                                      The war was not lost there, it was pretty quickly won. The reconstruction was lost.
