I guess profound is the right word.
I mean......A CONSULATE?
Is this the Onion?.Do these people who instigated this even know what an Consulate is or what it's for?
Were they just Morons who figured there's a bunch of easy marks in there? Judging by some of the shitheads (I casually know a couple guys who joined. That's another tale!) who they recruit for ICE I'm assuming they had absolutely no idea what an Consulate is.
My jaw dropped in disbelief when I heard this. Are you sure this isn't fake news or SNL or the Borowitz report or something satirical or................Just don't tell me it's true!
Nope!
