3. "We can't wear masks so we've grown beards instead"

I think their TSA sign-up bonus must be based on how long and full their beards are.

7. Neckbeards have become de rigueur for these ICE special ops cosplayers.

ICE goon cowards all want to look like genuine SEAL Team badasses. Special operations personnel are allowed to grow full, thick neckbeards when deployed in combat zones, so they can blend in with local populations and build rapport with tribal leaders. I'm seeing this neckbeard fashion statement everywhere these days, typically it's a MAGA manosphere imbecile wearing a ball cap, camouflge cargo pants and driving a lifted truck.

11. For our kids, the animals, everything on this fragile little blue marble.

Except for those busy destroying it, and us.

16. Exactly right.

5. Gee, no masks is nice.

Could make good a good comparison piece, showing how much their mugs have changed since getting photographed on January 6, 2021.

6. I bet TSA isn't resentful at all about this

8. Ha ha ha ha ha, oh my god this government sucks so bad.

How much more of this shit are we going to put up with before we throw these assholes out on their ass?

[kimbutgar]

12. WTF is it with these beards?

Do they think it makes them more manly looking?

As a woman I would be turned off, maybe they want to be more attractive to men?

19. See my post #17, above. nt

14. Suddenly no masks?

15. I'm assuming when they finally

Get in then have to stand in another long line to change flight they missed.

18. Undisciplined fucks

I detest those fucking battle beards.

It must be nice for these ICE goons to collect a full federal paycheck for doing next to nothing. Trump's make-work project for ICE becomes little more than theatrics with a pretended concern about airport congestion. And the actors get paid to play (with) themselves in Trump's version of Airport Apprentice.
