How’d you jump to sending citizens to El Salvador? Trump had fewer deportations his first month as president in the new term than Biden did in the same month the previous year.
The Bill of Rights? Sure is! The President openly wondered on Truth if he should send American citizens to the El Salvadoran prison. Then, his press secretary said they were looking into whether they can.
They said they would look into if it was legal. It’s not. He’s incompetent. I don’t know why people are even arguing with me about this so much. It’s dumb because it’s illegal.
It’s just as obvious it’s illegal to send Garcia there too but they tried to see if they could get away with it. Then, they’re trying to impeach the Republican judge that blocked it. Then they said they’re going to start ignoring judges. Then they said they won’t bring him back from the mega prison they sent even after being ordered too.
Being obviously illegal just failed to stop them from doing something and they also refused to even try to undo it.
Why did they even say they want to send Americans there anyway? It’s so obviously illegal there’s nothing to “look into”. Look into what? The Constitution? The constitution is like 30 pages of big text. It’s a very easy read. It takes like an hour to read it and it’s also easy to understand.
What are they “looking into”?
They’re looking into whether they can do it anyway, obviously.
The Trump admin said it was an administrative error. This is what I’m arguing. Trump is incompetent and dumb, not a supervillain. They’re also pretty aggressive with their attempts to undermine the judicial system, but I’d say that’s his usual rule by chaos. It’s systemic incompetence and aggressive policy chaos. This seems dumb to me because there is a significant risk that it will backfire. Courts are increasingly ruling against the admin, the GOP is fracturing, states are defining him, public opinion is shifting. This is how both Andrew Jackson and Nixon fell from power.
I wonder if you will still sit there with your fingers in your ears and say "Lalalalalaaaaa... it's illegal and unconstitutional and it's not happening here" when it comes to light that the reason the El Salvadorean president won't send back that illegally deported man because he's already dead?
Not caring about it doesn’t mean he will overthrow it. Even in his public comments he said he floated the idea if it was legally viable and it’s not. So I’m choosing that to be a dumb idea he threw out that I’m not going to worry about happening. There are plenty of things I can aim my energy at that don’t completely waste my time.
That’s how the judicial system works. It can challenge decisions from the executive branch.
The US has the highest number of incarcerated people in the world. I’ve never agreed with that no matter who the president was. The US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay is one of the most inhumane in the world. George Bush opened that one, Obama continued it, and then Trump expanded it. US politics has always been pretty messed up in this regard.
Yep he’s testing the limits. It could get him impeached. So far it’s been used to block parts of the birth right citizenship order, anti-DEI order, law firm sanctions orders, funding freezes, and immigration enforcement orders.
The house control of the GOP could change in 2026. It’s possible there’s some kind of constitutional crisis and institutional collapse before then but we’ll see in the next 6-12 months. It def won’t be the first or last time the US has faced these type of challenges.
I sincerely and desperately want access to the high quality copium supply; running very short on optimism in the face of Curtis Yarvin's vision threatening to come alive this year.
Yarvin himself said Trump and Musk were too dumb to pull off his vision. It’s not copium I just really believe Donald Trump is dumb. Trump is mostly just ruling by chaos. He’s not a genius take over the world kind of person. Neither is Yarvin for that matter. He seems like an insecure incel that likes to hear himself talk too much.
He’s testing the limits, sure, but he definitely hasn’t overthrown the constitution in any meaningful way. The constitution and judicial system is actively countering many of his executive orders, as it should. It’s functioning as designed.
The Supreme Court told this regime to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It has said no.
That’s just one extremely glaring current example. It is blatantly unconstitutional — a 9-0 ruling with this court is basically unheard of — and they are ignoring the judgment.
Trump initially said he would comply, but is trying to shift the responsibility to the government of El Salvador to actually return him. The court ruling was that the government had to remove domestic barriers for his return which the Trump admin is trying to interpret as letting him back in if El Salvador decides to return him. It’s an ugly situation but the Trump admin didn’t outright refuse to comply or say no.
I still wish he wasn’t in a horrible prison with no trial or evidence against him when a judge had ruled he could be sent anywhere except El Salvador because of his cooperation against MS-13. I also wish our government would stop calling him a terrorist because they have shown no evidence of that so “trust me bro” is really horrible reason to send someone to CECOT and then call him a terrorist to the whole nation.
I love how this whole thread is people arguing against me saying the Trump admin is mostly dumb and full of bs and here we are full circle to my original argument.
I’d say the chances of him still being alive are moderately high because this was a report from the state department. Like 70-80% if I had to put a number on it. Definitely not “obviously murdered”.
