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.
Well, someone either needs to go to prison or we’re cooked as a country.
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.
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.
I imagine the stuff he’s doing on his own are the more whacky things like shower head pressure
The tariffs destroyed the US dollar and legitimized China cutting the world off from rare earth metals. It also did a reverse pump and dump so Trump and friends could insider trade the whole thing.
The tariffs absolutely accomplished something. Just nothing in the interests of anyone but those who want the US weakened or are happy to get paid to help do that.
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.
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?
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. I was in my 20’s now I’m in my 50’s. 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 and his wealthy cronies, 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.
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.
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.
Because he is dead
Most likely the correct answer.
Oh yeah. Very dead. Although my guess is he got murdered in the prison within a couple days or even hours. Probably the moment they went from “administration error” to “that guy was obviously in a gang”.
Worst case scenario is the ‘prison’ is nothing but a death camp and they’re killing everybody.
I saw! Glad to be proven wrong, but now it’s even more questionable why they’d be so defiant when the dude seems to not even be jailed.
Yeah it’s a relief. On your point though I would be surprised if they literally thought he was dead up until that point
Cuz he’s dead, you murderous fuckers.
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.)
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.
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.
2A for all!

Good way to get yourself executed on the street.
I mean, if the alternative is executed in El Salvador…
Fair enough.
Wtf is happening
You’ve installed a dictator and given him the ability to ignore the courts without repercussions and do whatever he pleases with you and your fellow citizens. And he is.
Excuse me, I believe you’ve dropped your modernized quality precision firearm. here you go:
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.
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.
Fucking monsters.
Jesus, can we at least get some proof of life for this guy?!?! Like at least?!
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!
Can we do an exchange at least? We’ll give them Lord Trump.
Hard to live anywhere when you’re dead in this mound
We did it
RedditLemmy, we found a pixelated mess and made up a story about what it is.
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.
