The insane circular logic that has been generated in tis appalling case of Trump exporting an innocent person to the dreaded El Salvadorian Black Prison is so terrifying that you don’t even see the real punch coming.
Wait for it…
The White House isn’t lifting a finger to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia out of a notorious Salvadorian prison, despite courts’ orders to do so.
-
- The Justice Department has conceded in court documents that Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador due to an “administrative error.” The Supreme Court said last week that the U.S. must “facilitate” his release.
✈️ That simply means that if El Salvador asks to send him back, the U.S. has to help, administration officials argued today — not that the U.S. has to do anything proactive to rectify its error.
-
- “If they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in the Oval Office.
🇸🇻 El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, said he’s not asking.
…wait for it…
- “The question is preposterous,” Bukele said at the White House today. “How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”
💡 Zoom out: The two leaders have created a circular logic in which no one has the ability to do what the Supreme Court said must be done.
- The Justice Department is also arguing in legal filings that courts don’t have the power to dictate specific steps to the executive branch. So, effectively, no one can initiate this process.
…wait for it…
…fuck!
I have said from the beginning that Trump is a fascist.
That his second term after he believes he was saved by God from assassination for a special task is going to be christofascist.
He has set up a business model with El Salvador where he pays them to take anyone he arrests with zero legal oversight FFS!
Trump has manipulated working class resentment and those alienated by woke dogma into electing a fascist agenda and that is what is happening right now.
Stop defending Trump! This is naked Christofascism.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Please tell me the image isn’t AI. On the other hand, it is vast and shocking – please say it is really just AI!
US is officially a dictatorship now,
since the Executive started ignoring the Courts and Judges.
What an absurd claim.
What is absurd about it? Elaborate please.
The lack of due process (no judgment by any court) in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the de facto suspension of habeas corpus in sending him to an El Salvadoran prison are an excellent start on the road to authoritarianism/fascism.
The defiance by the Executive (the President essentially) of a Supreme Court judgment looks like a violation of the US Constitution and another excellent step on the road to fascism. Of course, the Republican-controlled Court used weak language (“facilitate”) to make the Constitutional breach they knew would follow not look too stark and obvious.
What next? Maybe get Bukele to cede (for a big fee) the territory where the mega-prisons are located to the US, thus making them technically part of the USA. Once that is in place as well, Trump has a complete machinery for disappearing anyone he doesn’t like, citizen or not, without trial forever.
Let’s see. If it walks and quacks like a duck….
Martyn – New Zealand kicks out violent thugs from other nations all the time…thank goodness.
And the glorying in this type of stuff is also typical fascism (whereas communist regimes hide or at least try to describe that they are doing as a necessity and they are actually helping the people they persecute – they never dehumanize their targets overtly).
Of course, the public will accept it in the cause of keeping the American people ‘safe’ from monsters and demons (even though the guy in question is clearly not that sort).
Public safety and the dehumanization of those who purported to threaten public safety will be used to justify almost any outrage.
” Trump has manipulated working class resentment and those alienated by woke dogma into electing a fascist agenda and that is what is happening right now ”
Even if you get into the states under the current regime and are not perceived as a threat. Can you actually leave without arrest ? or end up being wrongly detained and sent to El Salvador with no possible escape to be detained indefinitely.
Pinochet in Chile waged a similar persecution beginning in 1973 with at first detaining anyone deemed as a threat then eliminating them. Thousands of Chileans who vanished have never been found. Pinochet ruled absolutely with no elections for 17 years. Anyone could be arrested as a perceived threat.
Trump and his supporters have only just begun.
Most Americans will not recognize their country in the coming months. Many are already afraid.
The EU and Australia, NZ, Canada and other likeminded countries must now join together to defend democratic and liberal values, and the type of societies we all enjoy living in regardless of political inclination. Shedding the US from this group may not be a bad thing, as it will facilitate the rest of the West in eschewing imperial ventures and invading other countries and supporting genocidal Israel.
It’s ludicrous to claim Trump is a ‘christofascist’. There’s nothing ‘Christian’ about this demonic puppet who works for the enemies of the Prophet Jesus as they rape and kill Christians and Muslims alike.

He is not Christian. He is something else. He must be stopped, finally, forever, like all such monsters.
And yet his popularity is the highest it’s ever been, the voters are agreeing with getting rid of illegal immigrants who are gang members and commiting crimes.
If the voters are with you, then why change tactics?
Get rid of the illegals who are just lawless criminals, send them overseas….I would support it if I were a US voter.
