Honestly really basic stuff about CECOT that most people should already know. But since it’s the USA I’m sure it’s new to most people.

I wish they included some information on the new foreign torture prisons replacing CECOT after it become politically toxic. But for some reason no journalists seem to want to discuss those.

The real morons are the people who voted for him thinking he’s the anti-war candidate.

Let’s hope. Honestly that kinda seems like the good ending compared to what’s possible.

Kinda seems like democrats are still locked into the same failed strategy even as we’ve seen better options emerging…

Imperialism is often seen as a compelling solution to the absolute failure of tyrants to govern domestically.

A: Stalin wasn’t communist and B: not really. The political spectrum is just a model to aid with understanding. It’s not a fundamental quality the way up or down is. Political ideologies don’t have opposites in that way.

There are plenty of obvious similarities between fascism and Stalinism (and yes, some differences too).

There’s tons of misinformation and hero worship that takes place in spite of easily available evidence to the contrary. If you control the narrative effectively enough no one will even question it enough to seek out that information.

Depends who writes the history. The cultists will never abandon him.

Is the situation in Cuba really this dire?

Oh that’s completely fine. These guys just want to go back to the old Republican Party where the racism was only in private.

That’s the messaging, sure. But I think maybe they do want more illegal immigration since that’s one of their winning issues. And it’s a useful excuse to build a secret police force whose ultimate purpose will be to go after dissidents.

Ironically, this will increase illegal immigration. But maybe that’s what they want?

I can’t remember the exact route I took but the best hike I’ve ever done was in this area. Really incredible place.

That’s the sad part. They literally don’t even need to try to justify it with the number of bootlickers nowadays.

When passports and visas were created they were widely decried as government tyranny and promised to be a temporary wartime measure. And yet now people accept them as normal.

If you think the government should control my personal freedom to travel then please justify that. Otherwise, fuck laws that infringe freedom without adequate justification.

We live in a society of countless byzantine laws. It’s literally impossible to obey every single law 100% of the time.

In this context, the term criminal loses all meaning.

So when is Pete Hegseth getting sent to CECOT?

Mass murder committed brazenly in the public eye.

Fuck if I know. Thankfully he’s super old though so he can’t last forever.

Was this down to a single vote or something?
