It's Efficient

The essay

Details are a bit unclear, but at least one ICE agent, and maybe more, tried to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis. According to Reuters, one eye witness said, “"I saw the officers going after two people in the street, and then those people went into the consulate and the officers tried to go in after them."

This is craxy. Everyone knows that embassies and consulates are out-of-bounds for local law enforcement. You don’t need a law degree to understand this. All you have to do is watch prime time television. Apparently, these ICE agents aren’t allowed to watch TV until they’ve finished their chores.

But wait. While this appears to be crazy is it? We went to a lot of trouble to invade Venezuela. We sent an armada and 15,000 highly trained troops. To invade Ecuador we sent a couple of bozos who think they’re playing Call of Duty. We’re talking DOGE-level savings here. It’s running the US Government like a business. Unfortunately, a Donald Trump business, which is sad. And dangerous.

And, as our characters note, It’s Efficient.
