Reposted from Zeddy

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

San Salvador is a rough town. Things happen all the time.

theluline.bsky.social•78 days ago

For the 20th time, he has like 90% popular support (more of an illiberal ”democrat” than Orban is) and Salvadorans are among the largest foreign born voter groups in California and Maryland. Deposing him would be a bad idea

antitractionist.bsky.social•75 days ago

I have no interest in catering to fans of concentration camps.

lvclog.bsky.social•76 days ago

Sorry, but foreign policy shouldn't be dictated the opinions of a revatively small number of immigrants in Maryland and California lol

lvclog.bsky.social•76 days ago

At least the argument for Cubans used to be that they were in a swing state. California and Maryland are safely blue states, it doesn't remotely matter if all the Salvadorans there decide to become Hitler due to a dem administration eventually deposing and/or killing Bukele

ennui.org•76 days ago

ha ha yes very popular Mr Bukele please don't send my family to CECOT, fucking rube

theluline.bsky.social•78 days ago

But, maybe we csn keep the tariffs on Salvadoran coffee and sell arms to Honduras (a historic rival of ES)

theluline.bsky.social•78 days ago

Like there’s a lot of stuff we can do to show disfavor without regime change. Treat him the way trump treats south africs

ozmodiar.bsky.social•76 days ago

Lol, funding Honduran paramilitaries to destabilize the region for the next 40 years is better than droning Bukele? No dude.

lady-annabelle.bsky.social•76 days ago

You're aware that dictators lie about their popularity all the time, right? Also, I suspect that the Salvadorans in California and Maryland might not be as in love with the man as you think, given that they left El Salvador.

Quite frankly I don't give a damn if the population reveres him as Jesus 2: Even Better; if a world leader is collaborating with a domestic fascist government to illegally imprison and torture Americans then that leader should be met with several Marine MEUs once the domestic fascists are thrown out

escapedexplorer.bsky.social•76 days ago

Delivering him covered in bruises onto the steps of the ICC with no questions asked is the MINIMUM position

theophite.bsky.social•78 days ago

who gives a shit. see how popular he is with his brains spattered all over a concrete floor

johncastiglione.bsky.social•76 days ago

This whole 'there are heavy pockets of X minority group in blah blah state' is the most morally bankrupt and politically dead-ended kind of "analysis" and it needs to die, now

drdinnertime.bsky.social•75 days ago

Your inability to engage with the moral aspect of this situation should give you pause.

jasonpaul.bsky.social•76 days ago

Never stopped us before.

dabenner.bsky.social•76 days ago

i wouldn't assume his popularity at home translates to popularity among Salvadorans in Maryland in light of what he's doing, but also what's going to happen, they're going to vote for Robin Fricker?

theluline.bsky.social•76 days ago

Every salvadoran I’ve met in california loves him

theluline.bsky.social•76 days ago

Also there will be externalities to a resurgence in MS-13 that will most certainly hurt democrats

picklesofthecanoe.bsky.social•75 days ago

Just not enough to live under his rule huh

mpdeejay.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yeah, no, the guys he's holding from the US are being kidnapped from MD.

annabellelecter.bsky.social•75 days ago

Cowardice

jcools.bsky.social•75 days ago

How about if we just stop PAYING him to torture people we sent to his hell-prison! Bring them back!

oseanmemes.bsky.social•76 days ago

I don’t give a fuck, he deserves to swing like Saddam (and so does Orban).

vituperativeerb.bsky.social•76 days ago

I think it is a bad idea for someone to put Americans in a concentration camp, and I think that doing so should ensure you get real familiar with one of those knife missiles

50megatonfbomb.bsky.social•76 days ago

Yeah, nazi accomplices must die. I don't care if there are fascist Salvadoran expats who still like him.

mpdeejay.bsky.social•75 days ago

Oh no, that would drop Dem margins in Maryland from Assad levels down to mere Saddam levels.

joyouspanther.bsky.social•79 days ago

“Sorry but you don’t get due process in El Salvador”

thestinkfoot.bsky.social•79 days ago

Preventing tin pot fascist dictators in the western hemisphere has become a legitimate national security concern for the US. We can't give Don Jr the opportunity to fly dissidents to prison camps 2 hours away but outside the jurisdiction of US courts.

thestinkfoot.bsky.social•79 days ago

Invoke the Monroe Doctrine and just do it.

vickrusso.bsky.social•79 days ago

Would be better dramatic irony if he got an extremely thorough and televised trial, since he assisted in denying others the same.

beorio.bsky.social•78 days ago

Sword missile! Sword missile! Sword missile! Sword missile! Sword missile! Sword missile!

aquel-gringo.bsky.social•79 days ago

Liz Cheney wouldn't stop at 5

theophite.bsky.social•79 days ago

trials are for scenarios where there are questions about guilt

rusty-nail.bsky.social•78 days ago

Send him to Oslo, and we line him up in front of the same door as Quisling

benjaminchambers.bsky.social•79 days ago

i respectfully disagree and think a show trial that sets a precedent and deters future wannabe autocrats is the better option, especially when violation of due process is one of the central crimes here

geminidrgn.bsky.social•77 days ago

I don’t think it’s helpful because that kind of thing only happens at the convenience of a larger power, you can get away with a lot if you don’t piss off the giants

geminidrgn.bsky.social•77 days ago

And in terms of putting the fear of giants into guys a summary execution is as good as a trial

historiken.bsky.social•79 days ago

so, the noriega option, then

olenargy.bsky.social•78 days ago

Only if we get to use the slap chop
Missile after guilty is proven

countycats.bsky.social•78 days ago

I guarantee that missile is not what you think it is to watch in person.

olenargy.bsky.social•78 days ago

I have zero desire to watch it in person.

Just knowing it was used is enough for me

olenargy.bsky.social•78 days ago

Guilt*

erichluepke.bsky.social•79 days ago

The Bin Laden treatment would be appropriate given that this is the single worst crime to happen in America since 9/11, barring perhaps a few mass shootings.

jarekfa.bsky.social•79 days ago

I had a list of guys who had "things looking good for them in 1939" energy at the end of Trump's first term and NB is the one who's yet to be either dead, exiled or jailed (SBF was the easiest prediction).

jarekfa.bsky.social•79 days ago

Trump being reelected totally changed this one.

kiymon.bsky.social•79 days ago

We need the CIA that communists imagine to exist, to become a reality and overthrow that government until our people are returned.

renevq.bsky.social•79 days ago

Or just dump him in his own prison

ukrainewarpod.bsky.social•79 days ago

Can we also do Netanyahu, Orbán, and Putin?

austinlawhead.bsky.social•78 days ago

I want SEAL TEAM 6 wheels up and headed to El Salvador at 1300 on January 21st 2028 or nothin

50megatonfbomb.bsky.social•78 days ago

I want a scenario where the luckiest of them get pressed through a fine metal mesh.

redoubters.bsky.social•79 days ago

Theophite, I just can't go along with this.

That's four wasted bullets. Think of the potential!

rev-avocado.bsky.social•78 days ago

I think handing him over to The Hague (and signing the treaty ourselves) would be helpful in rebuilding trust in the U.S. among other countries, but your pitch is also compelling.
