Odd that, as much as I hear from certain folks about how they don’t like politics in their sports, I haven’t gotten a single email from that side about all the ICE commercials interfering with their college football on Saturdays.
The Trump administration has dropped $6.5 million on spots recruiting people to join the masked fake-cop agency, and with $30 billion committed to the effort to recruit 10,000 more ICE goons by the end of the year, expect it to be wall-to-wall in due time.
Quick math: $30 billion to recruit 10,000 dudebros comes to $300,000 budgeted per person they’re expecting to hire, in addition to the $50,000 sign-on bonus, and $60,000 in student-loan repayment, being offered.
And according to John Ourand at Puck, the ad-buyers in the administration are paying full freight for the spots, so, around $300,000 per 30 seconds.
Holy bejeezus, that’s a lot of our taxpayer money, going down a rabbit hole.
“You took an oath to protect and serve, to keep your family, your city, safe,” the narrator in the ICE spot in current circulation says, with heroic shots of the masked marauders arresting people on the screen.
“But in sanctuary cities, you’re ordered to stand down while dangerous illegals walk free.”
Ahem.
They’ve run out of “dangerous illegals” to arrest; they’ve been going after the quiet and law-abiding for several months now.
We’re seriously spending billions on this.
