The other aspect of the clusterfuck that is El Salvador is that the murder rate is down, allegedly thanks to Bukele. Nope, the gangs still run the show, but reduce the killings in return for the governments favorable treatment, allowing a few token arrests of actual gang members while Bukele rounds up innocents. Also Bukele needs the hard currency.

All this administration has are the dregs of the political world.

It's no accident that the root of colonization is colon.

Interesting this happens at the same time El Salvador has had to pull back from their "Bitcoin as legal tender" experiment in order to qualify for IMF loans. But still increasing their BTC purchases. All in 24 hours.

So many moving parts! I thought Rube Goldberg was dead!

THIS. This is why Rubio should not have been confirmed 99-0.

It's like Lucy and the football. Except the football is an AK47, and she's already shot you in the face.

Still feeling cool about confirming Rubio, Democrats? *table flip*

This is why I'm not watching the news as much as I used to, I don't have the energy to run around screaming my head off all the time.

Someone at one of TFGs pressers needs to bait him "So, sir, is this a temporary solution to America's prison overcrowding?" "No, it's a final solution. We'll send all the bad people to El Salvador. A final solution."

Mainstream media is unironically calling TFGs new operations at Gitmo a "concentration camp."

I am so over the USA. It has become a fascist, racist, bullying nation.

With the cabinet of clowns and Muskrat, it is only a matter of time before a 911 or Covid like event (financial, actual, etc.) takes place.

Apparently the general population is ok with this.

Rubio is a ass licking enabler of the Orange Monster.

Where are the Dems in Congress..oh I know, playing nice so they can keep their seats and continue business as usual.

Frustrated, angry, sad that this is all happening and there is no opposition.

Any event that is negative is explained away by the Orange Monster using the following

immigrants

Biden

Obama

Our mainstream media is and has been missing in action for years.

Fxxk the NYT and WAPO.

In Germany there were over 100,000 folks demonstrating last weekend against a possible coalition with the AFD (Musk supports..tells you all you need to know)

Nothing like that in the USA. The population has become cows going to slaughter or totally support the coup that has taken place.

So glad I do not live in the USA.

Sign me disgusted ex pat.

You could try to secede, but I hear you need serious military support for that.

To everyone that said a second trump administration would not spell the downfall of US democracy, fuck you.

Every new day has Elon and the ring kissing GoP adding another starship sized booster rocket to the country accelerating us off that cliff of no return.

If the US topples into fascism it will destabilize the entire globe for a good while.

WWIII, just a decade of terrible human suffering and oppression, China using the vacuum to become the top geopolitical power, will we get one or all of the above?

Repub donating Carceral-industrial complex lobby will NOT like this. tRUMP's admin once again shows how stupid they are, unless this is a way for tRUMP to look magnanimous when the lobbyists shoot this down and he announces it as his own idea to go along with the Constitution again. JEEBUS, these people are sleazy.

Rubio may need political asylum before this fiasco is over. Trump keeps touting McKinley, whose second term did not end very well for McKinley, in part because of the mess created by his first term in office. J.D. Vance is no Teddy Roosevelt.

It was supposed to be unconstitutional to send state prisoners to other states, but the Supreme Court found a work around for that 30 years ago.
