ICE wants to hire contractors to monitor social media for threats. Those who criticize the agency could be pulled into the dragnet.

      Not that I am arguing for simply rolling over but:

      Come screw with my first constitutional rite, and my iron clad citizenship.

      When push comes to shove, they won’t give a flying fuck about a piece of paper that says they can’t do that. Just ask anyone who’s been to Gitmo on either side of the bars.

      They put you somewhere that you have no communication with the outside world. Now what?

          You haven’t watched or read much dystopian fiction (or fact, as below), have you?

          My mind always goes to that one scene in Roots where, below decks on the slaver ship, the captured slaves-to-be stage a revolt and resolve to swim to the bank of the river the ship is sailing on. They succeed in reaching the top deck, a masterpiece of planning, only to become dazed both by the daylight as well as the fact there was no riverbank in sight.

          Those poor bastards were from inland, had probably never been more than a few miles from their villages. They literally couldn’t conceive of something as large as the Atlantic ocean.

          Likewise you’re failing to conceive all the ways that your plans won’t work. You really think you’ll get to someone’s crotch or eyes? And if you do, that you’ll not be overcome and won’t get that opportunity next time?

          The only hope is a whole heap of incompetence on behalf of the captor. And in that case you will still not win the fight. Run.

          And hope there’s a riverbank nearby or else you’re cooked.

      Yes, fuck ICE, fuck nasified ICE. See, this as a positive stance to have towards ice. This is not : “Posting Negative Things About” … “Fucking ICE”.

      Pedons don’t show enough respect for these unsung heroes

      That seems overly complicated and counterproductive. How can ICE watch you fuck its mother if it’s sucking your balls? They should do that after you fuck its mother.

    But what if you don’t like water that’s frozen? Are you going to end up in a detention camp trying to explain that there’s been a big misunderstanding?
