To rein something in is to pull on its reins. Has nothing to do with a reign.
Yeah, that bothered me too lol
Many might br eager to talk, offer evidence about the crimes of their superiors and give insight. That’s why Trump would want them to remain protected from accountability.
If they want to make a plea bargain, I have no problem with giving them the opportunity.
Abolishing ICE will accomplish nothing except making moving between cities harder.
We have to improve and expand the network instead to be able to also provide better regional connections.abolishingICE will also make restaurants serve more drinks per drink
abolishing ICE would improve city air quality tho
The meth heads don’t cause that much pollution.
abolishing ICE would improve city air quality tho
lt would increase car traffic, so quite certainly no.
by replacing Internal Combustion Engine vehicles with EVs?
They’re talking about Inter City Express trains, not Internal Combustion Engines.
and the post is about immigration customs enforcement, are we getting on the pun train or what? still waiting for someone to reply “abolishing ICE would make it harder to have a cold drink” to my city air quality comment
scratches neck
Y’all got anymore of that ICE?
Do you like think ICE is public transportation or something?
In Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland ICE is the “InterCity Express” that links cities across the three countries.
In some countries it is. Everywhere else refers to internal combustion engines, which also would complicate getting around if abolished. On the other hand, nobody is proposing a ban on outboard motors for cars so there might be a market for those, I suppose.
Outboard motors are still internal combustion engines. What we need are steam engines powered by coal fires under the boilers.
Do you like think ICE is public transportation or something?
Sure, Intercity Express.
But apprently we are talking about US inmigration politics instead, as l got from another comment already…
Don’t you know the whole internet is America™? (only the United States, not the other 34 sovereign nations in America)
Hawk screech that we pretend is a Bald Eagle Shoots freedom leadnuggets into the air and into middle schools
I like the level of sarcasm in your comment
See, I thought you meant ICE as in Internal Combustion Engine which made your comment about air quality make sense.
Is ICE a transit agency somewhere? I know we’re often too US focused online but this is clearly a post about abuse of immigrats by ICE…
Edit: wait like non-ev cars? Fair I guess?
ICE disambiguation in descending order of relevance:
- Internal Combustion Engine, the normal kind of engine in cars and heavy machinery
- In Case of Emergency, privileged phonebook entry to be contacted if you’re in the ICU
- InterCity Express, European high-speed rail service
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the United States version of the SA
- Immigration Compliance Enforcement, the UK version of Frontex
Is ICE a transit agency somewhere?
A type of train connection, the ICE-(Intercity-Express)-Network.
Excellent comment - the downvotes, lol!
Downvoters too American pilled to consider things might have different meanings in different parts of the world.
Or, hear me out, they do not know about “InterCity Express” being a thing and just guessed the post was about “Immigration and Customs Enforcement” which makes more sense due to the post mentioning “Agents” especially for the fact we are in c/politicalmemes
mistaking it for the US agency is part of the joke. The part that goes over the head of the downvoters is instead of going “Hmm, that’s weird. Wonder what kind of ICE they’re talking about” they go “What an idiot, doesn’t know what ICE means”.
I’m neither american nor European and my first read of the top comment was interpretting it as the american organization. It took me reading several of the response comments to realize that OP wasn’t advocating for the nonsense going on in the usa.
Just a SNAFU over ambiguous TLAs. NTSH, as you were.
Now they’re upset at you for the callout. After all these years it never gets old.
