    This might be why. Specifically that last part about luring Nazis with pretence of “romantic encounters” to the woods, to be shot.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Oversteegen

    Oversteegen, her sister, and friend Hannie Schaft worked to sabotage the Nazi military presence in the Netherlands.[5] They used dynamite to disable bridges and railroad tracks.[6] They also smuggled Jewish children out of the country or helped them escape concentration camps.[2]

    The Oversteegens and Schaft also killed German soldiers, with Freddie being the first of the girls to kill a soldier by shooting him while riding her bicycle.[1][5] They also lured soldiers to the woods under the pretense of a romantic overture and then killed them.[1][5] Oversteegen would approach the soldiers in taverns and bars and ask them to “go for a stroll” in the forest.[2][5]

      Not sure why they’re worried. If there’s one thing we’ve seen it’s that nowadays no one is willing to step up and be heroes like these ladies.

    (Tradwives are conservative women who dress like the women in The Sound of Music, but without the opposition to the Anschluss.)

    Can we just appreciate this sentence for a moment.

    When you have to hide on the job because you are scared, everyone hates what you do, loathes what you stand for, and the FBI tells you that finding love will be difficult and not to trust it:

    FBI: Don’t trust any woman who is willing to date an Ice agent. They may be trying to gain information.

    Everyone else: Don’t trust any woman who is willing to date an Ice agent. They have bad decision making skills

    Being an ICE agent has to be the coolest thing going for these guys.

    Not being able to score MAGA poon on FarmersOnly must be disappointing.

    Reminds me of that scene from X-2 when Mystique injects the stupid guard with iron pellets to help Magneto escape.

    “Never trust a beautiful woman, especially one who’s interested in you.”

    Unfortunately, ICE doesn’t need women to be interested in them. They were caught on video making people blow them in port-a-potties in Minnesota in order for their victims to save themselves from deportation.
