    Why is Immigration and Customs investigating voter fraud?

    oh, thats right. They are just the brownshirts. I at least can look forward to the infighting for power between the polyp and whiskeydick.

      That’s one of the things I hate the most- they say they will combat waste, while being the single most wasteful motherfuckers of all time, and people are like “yeah! We hate waste!”, but how much is really wasted, and where is that “wasted” money going to go? Back into the pockets of the people? Into improving society for everyone? I don’t get that feeling!

        You mean the same group who don’t shut up about “freedoms” but it mostly involves taking away the freedoms from significant portions of the population?

        Or the group who touts the party of fiscal responsibility but the last 3 have done nothing but nuke the economy?

        Or the group who constantly makes claims about protection of children yet they have disturbingly high rates of trafficking, pedos and sexual assault against minors?

    Find ‘evidence’ of voter fraud in order to implement a system where you can easily commit voter fraud.

      Because despite its name, ICE is no longer about immigration and customs. The Trump administration (and the people behind Project 2025) have appropriated and expanded it into their own private army, circumventing constitutional law for the purpose of turning the USA into a dictatorship.

      This is why you might see people comparing ICE to a modern day Gestapo, and part of why many Americans fear that there will be no more elections.

      Why is someone that committed treason and insurrection allowed to be president when it is clearly stated in our constitution it is illegal to do so?

        The Constitution is not self-enforcing. With a lawless Supreme Court, a captive congress and an oligarch-controlled media, there are no effective limits on executive dictatorship.

    So that’s why they probably got that giant funding for ic k passed. Bunch of self serving narcissistic bullshit.

    But what else can we expect from the party of fiscal responsibility according to people who are all about facts and logic. /s

      This is the South finally winning the civil war.

      They never stopped waging it, they just kept waging it by other means.

      They won. We fell asleep at the wheel. We are never going back.

        SSN’s aren’t something that are shared with others that often though. Mostly in banking/credit/medical/legal. Medical and gov probably isn’t allowed to sell that info, so it makes me wonder who is.

        Considering the amount of identity fraud in the US, it amazes me that a data broker not only has the info, but is allowed to sell it.

          I was once asked for my SSN number for a new phone at the mall. I just stared at the guy until he only asked for the last 4 digits. I still wasn’t exactly happy about it, but at least I wasn’t speaking the whole number out load at a fucking mall.

    Why would a company want this contract? Fun fact, it is owned by the Thomson family who inherinted the company, and the company is run by management consultants.

      I love this step:
      “Enter your personal information: first name, last name, email, date of birth, phone number, current street address, city, state, and zip code Submit the form”

      So uh… I was asking you to delete that data if you had it, not have me give it to you again

        “but Sir, we’re not gonna DO anything with it!”

          I work through a nonprofit where we have to report the names and addresses of our visitors to the local government which gives us a grant.

          Their thinking is they want to know how many people that visit the nonprofit are residents and taxpayers of the local municipality.

          Still, it sucks to ask people to give us their name and residential address, even though I tell them this is just for reporting for grants. We don’t mail you anything.

          I don’t think the local government does anything nefarious with this, but they could, I guess.

      Does anyone know how to sign up for that? Because I have some people on my mind that I’d like to keep track of. They’re all very public figures, should be a breeze, right?
