This pretty much went exactly as I (and anyone with a functioning brain) predicted it would.
Trump gives the middle finger to the Supreme Court, and Bukele helps run cover for Trump by saying he’s not going to return him anyway. This pretty much puts the courts in a position where there’s nothing else the courts can do even if they wanted to (and they weren’t all that interested in doing much in the first place), and Trump gets to walk away from the whole ordeal with absolutely no punishment. Again.
And what’s scarier is that it basically sets a legal precedent that if you’re “accidentally” deported, too bad, so sad, sucks to be you.
You or I are next.
Member that time trump said he fired the head of the FBI for looking into his russia ties on live tv?
yeah.
Bukele built inhumane gulags, suspended civil liberties and tossed anyone who looked at him sideways into prison. All my relatives from El Salvador said “yeah but the crime rate dropped” if you point out that a good percentage of the people who were tossed in those holes without due process are innocent, and that’s unacceptable. And they respond with “yeah but the crime rates”. If you point out that once those gang members are used up, those prisons won’t close, they will be used for whichever undesirables he picks next, innocent or not. And they respond with “but the crime rates” We reached that point sooner than I thought, and now those holes are being used for innocent people and not even from El Salvador, and my relatives respond with “yeah but the crime rates”
This is how fascism thrives
Yep. Mussolini made the trains run on time.
Except he actually made them run worse but just claimed that they were better. So basically exactly like Trump.
Under Bukele’s crackdown, the government has been undercounting homicides by as much as 47 percent. This is no bureaucratic or clerical error. Since taking office, Bukele’s administration has been laser-focused on reducing homicide rates and improving perceptions of security.
The media in this country is so infuriating. They asked if we were going to do anything about it, and Bondi says its up to El Salvador. So they asked the El Salvador Hitler, and he says “What am I supposed to do? Its not up to me to make decisions for another country, its a preposterous question!”
Literally EVERY person in the world who could negotiate such a thing was sitting right there in that room, and none of the “journalists” suggested they work it out right now, with the whole world watching.
Yesterday, Peter Navarro was on Meet The Press, and the host never asked him a single question about his primary source for his tariff expertise being a phony expert whose name is an anagram of his own. Its all I would have talked about, but she never alluded to it at all, even at the end when he was blathering on with weird insincere flattery of the host (I got the idea that that’s how he addresses HitlerPig). The guy is a total fraud, and yet he is in charge of our disastrous tariff strategy, and she can’t ask him a single question about his obvious fraudulent qualifications on the subject.
The journalists in the White House Press Corps, and hosting shows like Meet The Press, are supposed to be the top journalists in their proffession, but they treat their jobs as if their only responsibility is to provide a platform for the worst people to present their propaganda as Truth, without any questions.
There was also a very concerning hot mic moment
Any chance of a summary rather than a link to a .mov file?
As far as I can find out, there is no constitutional restriction on outsourcing the imprisonment of Americans in foreign countries. This is not deportation.
Australia was founded on the outsourcing of imprisonment of British prisoners, after the US war of Independence when US states refused to continue to take British prisoners.
Garcia was determined to be a refugee because he was a member of an El Salvadorian gang, so there is no likelihood he will be released in El Salvador.
That’s precisely why they don’t want to return Garcia. Once he shared the details of the cruel and unusual punishment that the inmates endure, SCOTUS would have to prohibit incarceration in CECOT under the Eighth Amendment.
I keep reading Bukele as Bukkake.
Yet Americans are not doing enough to solve this huge issue.
Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.
it’s like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.
A couple of options:
-
Imagine the media circus that would occur if Garcia came home. He’d be plastered across every website and front page of every newspaper, which of course takes attention away from the Toddler in Chief. Furthermore, the GOP doesn’t want Garcia to talk about how absolutely inhumane the conditions he would have been subject to, for obvious reasons.
-
Bringing him back is an admission of wrongdoing, and that’s one thing the GOP and Trump can’t do under any circumstances.
-
They can’t bring him back, because he’s dead.
-
Does that make it official that America is dead?
