The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.
Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.
A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.
Of course not - the U.S. is run by a dictator who is being run by a foreign dictator.
Republicans all do what putin tells them to do - else no more money.
Fucking monsters.
Well, someone either needs to go to prison or we’re cooked as a country.
Really? You think the courts will do something? You allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power who has 34 felony convictions on record and has never spent one second in prison.
Someone should go to prison…You’re joking right?
Whether the courts will or won’t do something is irrelevant to the fact that Trump and probably most of his administration should be in prison.
They allowed a self proclaimed dictator to take power a couple of months after the courts decided that presidents should have dictator powers and the full plans for what they’re doing now called project 2025 was doing the rounds.
I truly feel bad for the good and decent people that were born into a country of fucking sociopath illiterate inbred clowns but Donald Trump’s ‘approval’ rating has never even gone below 40%. In fact just last night I saw an article saying that his approval rating has actually rebounded a little bit.
I used to love Americans. There’s still a few that I think are pretty cool. But this whole thing has changed my opinion of them in general. In a not at all good way. I think I despair more about the otherwise decent seeming people who claim they voted for the price of eggs or some shit than I do about the stereotypical ‘Murica’ people that worship Trump like Jesus. My image of the USA was betrayed the most by those people.
I can admit I haven’t been the biggest fan of americans since Bush Jr. I stopped travelling to and even buying a lot of American products then and never restarted. That was the beginning of the end for me. It’s been a quick slide downhill ever since. When citizens were being attacked for opposing a violent incursion into a country for no reason other than to placate a president that was enough to see the direction they chose. Openly, without shame and even aggressively pushing their opinion down the throat of not just their own citizens but the world.
Bush Jr was the speed run for trialing dictatorship in the US in modern times. He was a great trial run and very effective at advancing the message.
I like Americans individually. When they start to group up, then the political, geographical, belief lines appear and the jingoism destroys everything.
A lot of people will. People this Administration doesn’t like.
Which, to be clear, is a very bad thing that I’m not defending.
Someone did to to prison, and we are cooked as a country. :(
Go exercise your constitutional right against a tyrannical government. That’s why it’s a thing!
But like… Organize first.
Otherwise you’re just a crazed lone gunman dead in the street.
Aaaand which one do you think it is?
America has been lost for a while, Trump is just not smart enough to keep it together.

I’ve let me friends know for many decades that if my wish comes true, and I am taken out by a meteor, I expect them to laugh their heads off and say cheers. I just wanted it to be a little micro-meteorite or something, but I’m OK with a large scale extinction size rock, I think.

Trump has never been the true threat, it’s the billionaires.
What the fuck do you think trump is?
A useful puppet, that can’t be entirely controlled like Reagan, but is mostly getting the oligarch’s desires achieved.
He’s absolutely dangerous, but he’s not the true threat.
Not a billionaire, that’s for sure. Him being so sensitive about it and never wanting to appear less than that, proves it, and it’s been the case for decades.
He definitely wasn’t in term 1, but all the grifts and that stupid meme coin likely put him over the threshold.
That assumes he didn’t need all that to pay back Russian debts immediately.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 20 years from now we find out that Trump money directly funded the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine.
No I assure you he is. Trump is a fascist dictator; he’s a true threat in the same way Hitler was a true threat.
Yes… I said he was a threat.
But the people who a richer than him, and fund all of this Right Wing Media, and put him in power are worse.
I’m done with this.
You’re not seeing it. This man will put the oligarchs in concentration camps if they piss him off. The power dynamic completely changed after Jan 20th; now he is in charge and they are his lackies.
I don’t think it’s in his interest to do any of that. He does not control the machinery that influences public opinion and he doesn’t have money like the richest people in the world have money.
You’re not completely wrong, but I think he still needs at least most of them. They help inform him of strategy via data harvesting and the means of selling it to his supporters, trump does not have the ability to do that all on his own.
Krasnov is not there to “keep it together.”
Got to admit, he’s accomplished a shit ton in his first 100 days already, way more than basically any president in history.
He’s doing a fantastic job of destroying the country in every single way simultaneously. Not just destroying the democracy directly, but all American influence and soft power worldwide. He has already managed to do more damage to America than any terrorist attacks ever could have imagined, in record time.
His handlers and controllers had 4 years (or 10+) to plan for this. He’s just the meat puppet in front of the camera signing all the orders.
See, that’s very true… but he clearly is doing some shit on his own. The tariffs serve no useful purpose, not for political gain, or for the billionaires, it is actually bad for them. They’re stuck trying to ride the wild and unplanned market volatility from the inconsistencies and rollbacks.
If anything, it seems like that’s the shiny thing they’re letting him focus on so he doesn’t do other stupid shit that gets in the way of the actual plans.
Pfft they are buying low and selling high. Trump tells them his next move. Insider trading to make millions.
Or just buying absurdly low to consolidate power once the market recovers
I imagine the stuff he’s doing on his own are the more whacky things like shower head pressure
He has already managed to do more damage to America than any terrorist attacks ever could have imagined, in record time.
There’s an argument that the war on terror gave rise to Trump, so in a way Bin Laden gets to claim this.
If he could he would probably be laughing real hard right now, at the very least.
Both of the global powers he fought during his lifetime are extremely busy at destroying themselves at an accelerated speed.
Meanwhile everyone else suffers.
Nah, Bin Laden couldn’t do this. He didn’t own media empires or any kind of business in America. The likes of Thiel, Musk, Trump, DeSantis, and so forth are the true architects of America’s death. They are the embodiment of the saying…
“Better to rule over hell, than to serve in heaven.”
Who do you think gave rise to Bin Laden? It all goes back to the US government’s inability to govern
- USA is the world’s only superpower, and puts military bases around the world
- Saudi Arabia is one of the countries with military bases
- A Saudi man is angry with US military bases in his country
- That Saudi man executes a plan to crash airplanes into American skyscrapers
- USA invokes NATO’s article 5, the one and only time it has ever been invoked
I’m not sure that the famous US military is keeping Americans safe. Crazy as it may be, sometimes a big military makes you a target.
Oh, so we DO care about protective orders for women who have been abused??? I thought we weren’t supposed to care about that when it comes to people, even if they’re POTUS.
You could be next. Meet your neighbors. Organize. arm yourself. You have allowed a dictator to take control of your country. He will not let it go without a literal fight.
2A for all!
Good way to get yourself executed on the street.
I mean, if the alternative is executed in El Salvador…
Fair enough.
My neighbors still think that the 2nd amendment’s purpose is to just to stop the godless libs…
They dont even realize that there are very well armed socialists living amongst them. And we are so much better armed than they could ever imagine.
Oh so they’re stopping this then, right?
Outsider perspective 2nd amendment is a joke, the only thing it guarantees is a disproportionate level of gun crime and perpetuates a police culture of kill or be killed.
A country spends most of its lifetime muttering about “dfndn frdm” and watching people die in mass violence daily… and then when the promised tyrant actually shows up, everyone just watches and tuts. The thing that will determine the winner of an armed uprising is, as always, anyone with the unified backing of the military or the support of powerful external benefactors.
A friend of mine, who is a white female so white she’s virtually translucent, with red hair and blue eyes had a child with a South American Native 20 years ago. Their daughter looks like a South American Native. No trace of her mother’s heritage. My friend is terrified.
My ex-girlfriends daughter did the same 5 or 6 years ago. Same result. They’re terrified, also.
That man is already dead.
Cuz he’s dead, you murderous fuckers.
None of these men will ever be heard from again. CECOT brags about how the only way out is in a coffin.
It’s only a matter of time before US born citizens are extraordinarily renditioned to CECOT.
Hard to live anywhere when you’re dead in this mound
I replied to your post of the satellite photo in another thread. See my reply here. In short, the strange spill and material has been present in the yard of that building for at least a month. If it’s permanent, it could indicate a washing facility or slaughterhouse. Jumping to conclusions is not a good way to proceed when you don’t check the context of a satellite photo.
Regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, see this post on Twitter, a US senator was able to meet him:
We did it
RedditLemmy, we found a pixelated mess and made up a story about what it is.
His lawyers can try to split hairs about “facilitate” vs. “effectuate” but saying he will never come back to the US after being ordered to try to get him back to the US seems like the most obvious violation possible of a 9 - 0 supreme court decision. If republicans were honest, trump could be removed from office by Saturday morning. What would there be to even investigate?
Jesus, can we at least get some proof of life for this guy?!?! Like at least?!
van hollen met up with him, all dolled up, to hide the beatings, or mistreatment.
Holy shit! Like right after I saw this I saw the picture wirh Van Hollen and him that was posted like an hour ago! I’m so grateful that I’m wrong!!! Now fucking bring him home!

Somehow, he’s alive.

https://xcancel.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1913034619710034094also Jesus those comments do NOT understand that in any stable civilization the phrase
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.
is better than the opposite
the comments on that post are something else
Excuse me, I believe you’ve dropped your modernized quality precision firearm. here you go:
Those change.org petitions always go right into the round filing cabinet. I’ve signed so many of them, and not once have I ever seen one come into fruition.
“They thank you for self-identifying and putting your name on a list.”
PS: self-identifying is some orwellian shit.
If a domestic violence allegation is all it takes to get send away, then 40% of all police officers in this country need to GTFO on that alone.
(Not saying domestic violence is good, obviously. Just using their logic here.)
Looks like a US senator went to visit, but there was no Kilmar to be found.
They let the torture supporting magas into the prison but not a senator
He’s alive!
Holy crap, looks like you are right. Link
