I think I pinned the wrong post.
I'm thinking that they take everyone this way, then, if they screw up, they can claim that they were never actual hires so they can't be blamed (and demand repayment of any salary)
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

I really don't know how I'm sleeping like this, except that I'm alternating sleepless nights.

I'm trying to make a big dent in my movie watchlist after adding a few hundred last year. I know at some point it's going to become much harder, so we'll see how long I can hold out.

While I wish my city weren't the battleground against corrupt thugs, it is comforting to know that they're such idiots that they picked the absolute wrong place to attack.
They are losing and they will lose. They will turn against their leaders and themselves, because those are easier targets.

There's a woman who probably thinks I was staring at her, but I was trying to decide if I knew her. She looked like someone I knew but hadn't seen in 5 years, if she'd really turned her life around. Wasn't her.

Just thinking aloud. Trump is underwater on every topic, regardless of age, gender, race, or income. But he still has 80% of those who voted for him, because they haven't personally suffered. That's why candidates are pushing economics over values, because those hits are coming. Not a great plan.

With everything that's going on, I decided to create my own Batcave. So far, aspirating guano has been a real obstacle.
