I call it the " Bald headed hair club for men".
But as usual just a bunch of racists.

(6,387 posts)What the hell was that "do you want me to come in the front door...or come in the window?" WTF was that.
These guys are such a joke. They read their cue cards like contestants on the apprentice.
We were just hanging around in the oval office rummaging through our hate message and I decided to drag them out in front of the press to put them up against Ms. Nancy.
And I hear the raging hordes are back banging on the southern border. Just WTF-ity F'ck is he going on about....
Such an asshat.

In a physical scuffle, nobody can grab your hair if you don't have any;
In-crowd chic;
Solidarity with a colleague who went through chemo.
Nothing mutually exclusive about any of the possibilities.

(42,768 posts)Google ICE Agents Images -- there are some that are bald and some that aren't. Probably more of the latter.
As for the idea that because they're bald they must be skinheads -- well, several members of Obama's Secret Service detail were bald and I don't recall folks thinking that they must be skinheads.
Silly OP.

(2,344 posts)It was an observation based on a snapshot from trumps speech...tempered with a comment that I dont noemally comment on superficial looks.
But go ahead and say that I said all ICE agents are bald.

Meant all.
Was just taken aback by the image.

(2,344 posts)Heads are all bald.... you read it as me saying all ICE agents are bald.... my meaning was misinterpreted

(42,768 posts)While others are only partially bald and others aren't bald at all.
Doesn't seem weird to me, but to each his own I guess.

Hee....they look like skinheads...
I don't know how many ICE/CBP agents there are in the country. So is this a representative sample?
ICE tends to work as "deportation police". I'm pretty sure some of them work undercover, so they might not all be bald.
I don't know why these guys were selected to be on stage with Trump.

(4,834 posts)being bald and shaving your head.
These guys are likely drawn to the fashion statement made by the military barber and the German Nazis from the 30's and 40's. They want to project themselves as hard fighting warrior types and think their haircut will instill fear in the hearts of their opponents.
To me, they look like a bunch of skinheads who lost their way back to the militia's training site somewhere in northern Michigan.

(1,480 posts)bald heads were considered extreme.

"Extreme, eccentric, or trendy haircuts or hairstyles are not authorized." [link:http://ar670.com/articles/view/1/hair-and-fingernail-standards-and-grooming-policies/8|]
Today's soldiers often have bald heads. I personnally think it is a conservative thing.

(67,819 posts)The men I know, like me, with shaved heads, are liberals.
I shave my head because it is far easier than getting haircuts.
I shave my head as a style choice.
I shave my head as a fake-out. For some reason, people equate shaved heads and right wing. One does not follow the other. But what's cool when the error in assumption is made, I find out really quick who the assholes are.
