When Asshats Attack!

Imagine you're the new head of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Now imagine the dumbest possible thing you could do.

Nope, dumber.

Dumber yet...

Come on, your not really trying here.

Try wearing a pin symbolizing the MEXICAN NATIONAL FLAG!!!


Yep, that's right. Our flaming asshat decided as the new head guardian of our porous Southern border that wearing Mexico's flag would be a good idea.

And then in true insulting government fashion they cropped it out. Yep, they think we're idiots, I suddenly feel all warm and cuddly inside!


I bet she knows the grooviest places to get the righteous cappucinos, don'cha think?

On a slightly more serious note this comes from her bio.
Prior to her service with the Commerce Department, Ms. Myers served as the Chief of Staff for the Criminal Division at the Department of Justice. Ms. Myers also served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Money Laundering and Financial Crimes at the Treasury Department.

Prior to that, she also worked as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York, where she prosecuted a variety of criminal cases, including narcotics violations, financial crimes, immigration violations, securities fraud, and other white collar criminal cases.

Before joining government service, Ms. Myers was an associate at Mayer, Brown & Platt in Chicago, Illinois. She also clerked for the Honorable C. Arlen Beam of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit.

Ms. Myers received her bachelor's degree from Baylor University and her J.D. from Cornell Law School. She is a native of Shawnee, Kansas.
I notice one thing lacking on her resume, she was never a cop, she smells like a paper pusher to me. Is that who we want being the top border cop?

An analogy from my field. In cheffing there are two kinds of chefs, the first are called "kitchen rats" ( like me!) these are guys and gals that grow up in a kitchen (I started when I was nine) and know every nook and cranny of kitchens and the business. The second is a newer phenomenon, the culinary school grad. The culinary school grad may be a fine chef but I have found they tend to lack that understanding in their bones that the kitchen rats have naturally.

Same for cops. You learn things in the field you will never learn in an office or school, you gain an understanding of something other than cover your ass office games and how to polish your apple for fun and profit.

I want cops on the border, not paper pushing weenies, especially paper pushing weenies that missed the memo on not wearing the enemies insignia!

Asshat!
