Is that from true lies?
I’m sure it’s Arnold’s face
I think it is. Can’t recall the exact scene though.
When he uses a squad to break into Bill Paxton’s sleazy getaway spot where he tries to seduce Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s followed by this scene:
I think it’s right when he sees someone’s about to hurt her, so he hurts the guy or something, and the guy ends up getting kicked in the balls by Curtis. The scene ending with some awesome “action helicopter” cam of the extraction completed, home boy limping back to the heli holding his balls, “Son of a…”
It’s such a well directed movie with perfect pace too. Even when it goes over top, it makes just enough fun of itself for doing so.
“That’s a fine looking animal you got there!”
Haha, I chucked it on last night after typing this comment. There’s so many scenes where characters have no place being there but they are, because it’s just the public dealing with an action hero.
My partner hadn’t seen it before.
“There’s no way he’s about to jump the building with a horse… Yeah, I was gonna say. A horse would never do that.”
“But that’s the point. You’re so into the action hero stuff that you didn’t notice they played a screeching rubber SFX when the horse stopped.”
😙👌
Even Curtis’s line, “I married Rambo…” is another subtle joke in an otherwise action flick that has all the usual action flick appeal.
The beginning at the fancy party that has snow outside?
It’s where the squad attacked bill paxton when bill was trying to convince Jamie Lee Curtis to leave the country. They cut the trailer in half, bill fell on Jamie and arnold flipped his shit, made this face.
The opening scene
Yeah it is. I saw that movie for my 12th birthday and it still holds a special place in my heart.
Boris and his wife, Doris.
It’s one of the most hilarious things to me, just a masked face with Arnold’s lips making Arnold groans. That scene was gold, fuck that whole movie was gold
Except for that weird strip scene with Jamie Lee Curtis. That did not age well.
I watched True Lies again a few years back, and that scene made me cringe hard.
that whole movie was gold
Indeed, I miss the James Cameron golden era when he was pushing cinema boundaries and not pumping out the nth iteration of Avatar
It’s even better because when they do get paid if they leave before their 5 years they have to pay back their bonuses INCLUDING tax.
So they’re kinda paying for the privilege of hunting minorities. Really sick to think about.
Where can I learn more about this?
An authoritarian typically keeps the military and police well-fed, or alternatively allows them to rob the plebs as they see fit. Otherwise bad things may happen to the emperor.
Unfortunately, Trump is likely to kick the bucket before he sees any blowback of this.
A trump never pays his debts
“TNPD” doesn’t roll off the tongue as well as “TACO”, but I’ll take it.

Ok, what did I miss?
ICE had a signup bonus (dunno how much, $4000, I think?), and nobody received it yet.
The guy who is ‘famous for not paying’ is Trump, who has a history of being in debt/not paying his debts off.
Specifically not paying contractors. He would regularly hire contractors for jobs at Trump buildings/companies where it was x% up front and x% on completion. Then when they came for the completion percent he would just not pay and make them take him to court. Sometimes he paid, but other times they just couldn’t afford to litigate as long as he could so they’d get stiffed.
Edit: USA Today Article because citing your sources is important: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/09/donald-trump-unpaid-bills-republican-president-laswuits/85297274/
Or paying the buses to his rally in winter but not back, abandoning a ton of his followers to freeze the night or find other ways home.
If you run out of money you run out of justice
Afaik the bonus promised is 50k, which is a bit more significant. Leads to people joking that they’d like to join, get the bonus and then just not do the job.
You have to stay with the agency several years. The plan is to fire them before paying.
Signup bonus is different from retention/quota bonus. Signup bonus is all him
But the big one, the retention bonus can probably be pushed off long enough to blame democrats and/or not paid because they’re not making their quotas
The government legit removed student loan repayment programs from a lot of agencies and gave them to ICE like those dipshits will ever use them.
It was way more than that- like 50-70k…
*Edit* never mind me, apparently that was a retention bonus, different thing
Its the old bait and switch. Did you know that Federal Deposit Insurance can be paid out in a period of decades? They can make you ‘‘whole’’ over a period of time that can stretch over years. Technically you will not lose any money but practically you can die before you get your money.
Is that an electrophoresis gel?
Apparently scientists found a way to draw a violin that’s 13 microns wide. Fuckin crazy, idk how they did it, but I love that they did.
Way to big of a violin. Great image tho.
Wait, are they really not getting paid? Dont get me wrong id rather see them just lose the job and or get deported (to the bottom of the ocean), but if they arent getting paid that a lil karma at least. And funny.
Also please dont lump A’nold in with those scumbags.
I don’t think this meme is accurate. ICE agents aren’t in it for the money.
@MTZ@lemmy.world You know this is Lemmy Shitpost not Political Memes?
I do indeed! But what is a political meme, if not a shitpost?
How is this political?
It’s 100% American politics
Simply mentioning ICE doesn’t make it political. By that logic, any mentioning of anything related to any country, any type of police, any type of military would be ‘political’ and I’ve never seen anyone complain about that
Simply mentioning ICE doesn’t make it political
It’s internal US political news, why do you think anyone outside of your country cares about your immigration officers and how they’re dealing with immigrants within America?
By that logic, any mentioning of anything related to any country, any type of police, any type of military would be ‘political’
Yes?
and I’ve never seen anyone complain about that
Because nobody else posts about their police force in a shitpost community and gets 1k+ upvotes for it
Is this also not political?
Doesn’t seem like it’s trying to sell me on Trump or Obama or Putin or Israel or anything. Just because a shitpost mentions current news doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad political. Seems to me like if you just don’t want to see anything about other countries, you should just find some communities specific to your own
