So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

Hold for a year? Sorry, hate to break it to you, but he is never going back the USA…ever. Even if he survived a year in that hell hole, they will find a way to prevent it.
He’s the liar-in-chief. He lies about his lies, and lies to lie his way out of his lying, liar lying, liar, lie telling lie upon lie. Like MAGA, every “cult” member including tRump know the truth, but prefer the lies even as he cuts the fuck out of MAGA assistance, etc. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
It's not a matter of "can't"; it's 100% "won't". Only 2 possible reasons for this. Mr. Abrego-Garcia is already dead and the administration knows it or the administration doesn't want him coming back to talk about his experience.
If we accept Trump's ludicrous argument, then this is a basis for the courts to block any further removals there on a nationwide permanent basis. Full stop. We can't guarantee the people won't be tortured or killed, can't guarantee how long they will be there, and can't get them out.
And he and Bukele were holding hands and practically sharing a milkshake in the Oval yesterday! Pretty sure he's on good terms with him! Hell, I thought Bukele was going to give him his class ring!
Claire doesn’t contempt of court apply here to this disregard for a 9-0 SC decision? Why are we once again waiting on a judge’s decision while the clock is ticking on this innocent man’s life?
It would take less than 8 hours to do a takeback if they had mistakenly abducted Mike Johnson. I suspect not many people would fight to get him back though. He kind of deserves to be treated how he treats others. 🤔 The golden rule.
We know what's going on: endless theft/grift, destroying civil rights, depriving people of jobs/ benefits, lawless terror campaigns on residents, killing off non-rich people, non-stop lying and distortion, vengeance against anyone who cares about earth's livability, purposeful persecution.
He's successful enough to have people in concentration camps, tell people he's looking forward to sending citizens there, continues to threaten other countries sovereignty and disables the judiciary everyday. We skeet and wait, until...?
They were weren’t paying them to hold anyone they were paying them to dispose of the bodies. He’s paying them to exterminate the people. He is sending to El Salvador.
Trump has the power to slash programs at will, cancel contracts on a whim and back out of treaties, but he can't tell the mob boss of El f-ing Salvador to send a guy back?
I agree with you Claire, but remember this…. Canada and Greenland will NEVER be taken over by your moron government. Just try and see what happens. Elbows Up! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇬🇱🇬🇱
I mean, it's only $6 million for how many hundreds or thousands of prisoners. I'm sure they are well fed on that. They probably found that kind of loose change under the cushions in Vance's favorite couch.
They're just embarrassed to admit Trump can't call Bukele to even ask, because his tiny, baby-like fingers are too widdul to push those big, stiff buttons on the oval office phone.
People are getting distracted by the term "facilitate" being used in SCOTUS' decision. Stephen Miller said the Supreme Court ruled in their FAVOR 9:0. NOT THE CASE! So, the terminology/semantics doesn't seem as important as their misinterpretation of the ruling, 9:0 to get him back on US soil!
This is not a work camp.They do not work. They are not allowed nothing. Plates of food are stacked outside the cells at mealtimes and pulled through the bars. No meat is ever served. The 30-minute daily respite is merely to leave the cell for the central hallway for group exercise or Bible readings.
Time to stop being polite, sarcastically, and recognize the gravity of the situation.
Defiance of the Judiciary won’t stop there.
Nothing and no one is safe.
We all know that this is not the first time the US gov’t has deported people that had/have legal status in the US. The difference is, when done in error, the gov’t retrieves those people ASAP. Many times they have sent agents to find individuals when & if needed for trials or as witnesses.
It's the exact same vibe as a kid who's running around with energy then flops with profound existential exhaustion the moment you remind them of a chore.
Hey Claire, enjoyed you and Nicolle Wallace making fools of yourselves on Deadline White House today, ranting about Trump defying the Supreme Court while pretending like you don't both know Biden did it FIRST. 😅 #Fools #Liars #DeadlineWhiteHouse
Just more of the same lies this administration spews on a daily basis. They want to BE right, it's never been about DOING the right thing. I fear for this man. If he wasn't a target before, I'm sure he is now.
It's a brown person don't you get it? If it was a white person he'd be doing it it would already be done they wouldn't have been picked up at all or sent anywhere for that matter if they were white. But they're going to come for the whites that you know vote Democratic soon.
"Take over Canada". Hmmpf. Americans would be like Napoleon or Hitler starting out for Moscow in the dead of winter. Don't kid yourselves: your special military operation of three days would turn into a nightmare pretty damn quickly.
Trump: I can get Canada, the Panama canal, and Greenland to be part of the United States, either by economic or military force! 💥🇺🇲👊
Also Trump: I can't figure out how to get one guy back from El Salvador. 😭🤷🤔
They cannot take over Greenland and Canada and the people of Greenland and Canada would love if ignorant Americans would stop flippantly parroting their dictator’s intentions for war.
If Trump can get Otto Warmbier released from a North Korea prison, he can do the same for people he mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He’s just a jackass who can’t admit his team screwed up so he’s willing to make innocent people suffer to protect his image. Such a giant a-hole.
It sounds like people do not return from the El Salvador concentration camp. Don Old found a way to get rid of herds of people permanently for only $6 Million a year. So much cheaper than the $6 Million each to keep them at Gitmo.
Everyone is acting like Trump not bringing this man home implies weakness or incompetence. Like Trump WANTS to restore this man to his family, but is failing.
That's not what it is, really, right? That's not what it is at all.
Good point. It just seems that many of the posts I'm reading are ridiculing his impotence in not bringing this man home.
He's doing exactly what he wants here: being authoritarian and cruel, to the cheers of his cult.
CECOT is a life sentence, not just a year. El Salvador's president has said that those sent to CECOT will never see their families or communities again.
Trump said he could end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza with one phone call each - but he’s completely powerless to get one guy out of a known location in El Salvador.
Could of ended all the bad drama while both were in the Oval … trump could have turned to Bukele and told him that no smuggling would be needed … he would send a plane to pick up Mr. Garcia.
In front of the world.
There is no real evidence that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, but even if that were true.... terrorist gang members, including those from MS-13, are extradited to the United States from foreign countries for trial... ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.
Thank you! I was actually gonna look up some more info on this, but you did it for me, so thanks. I found my link in emptywheel's most recent article on this. I copied the link and started posting everywhere because, yeah, it's pretty goddamn significant if the gov't extradites people all the time.
Terrible original post and I’m surprised that you would repost it.
I don’t think it was the intention of the original post to claim Greenland and Canada will be taken over; it’s terrible phrasing and speaks volumes with respect to the substandard education system in the USA.
Don’t perpetuate it.
all countries think that about themselves. I don't begrudge them that.
It's the lawlessness and the endless wars and the racist authoritarianism I don't like.
So weak. He seems to only have "power" over US citizens. No other country, even the ones he pays and sucks up to, give a single flying care. Nobody is scared of him. Not even Greenland.
The only country he's hurt since 1/20 is the US.
It's probably why he's upping the cruelty here in the States.
Mostly those troops have established shelters and protection for people who were cut off from US asylum. The rest will be facing the newly militarised Roosevelt Reservation, from El Paso to San Diego. Say hello to the 1000 RA troops now at Ft Huachuca and the Tasker Strike Force just arriving.
Trump just demonstrated in the WH with Bukele who has the balls and who doesn’t… he is just as weak and pathetic as we all knew… isn’t even strong enough to tell ES to send him back… just a weak pathetic old man…
And let's not forget how he released all of his J6 buddies. Many of them PLED guilty for their crimes and sentenced to years in prison, yet they are free. Some even returned to crime and went back to jail, but that's OK because he says it is!! He can change his mind whenever he wants!! HYPOCRITE!!!
$ee that worth on a photo op trip? 🤬 she could have taken 238 passengers back home for due process. I read 75% at first year 60min then after researching, another agency said 97% was innocent.
Exactly, and please don’t forget the stakes planted in Gaza, Panama, and the valuables in Ukraine. Make any of this make sense. Gaslight, gaslight, gaslight. It’s their move. Always. Distort reality and say it from a big pulpit.
Claire, I think it’s time, when you are on MSBC, to call Trump regime ignoring the courts as “bullshit”! Stop saying it in the overly kind way by saying it’s “beyond the pale”! You can do this! We would have so much more respect for you if you just called it what it is!
It’s not about presidential power over another country. It’s that he doesn’t give a damn about this man and never had any intention of returning him. The cruelty is the point and also there’s no money in it for him.
You need to pay more ransom. That's kidnapping we are letting go on. You will be next. No ransom bye bye immigrant. We are doing this because people don't have the humanity to get off their fucking knees
Just to be clear: you cannot take over Canada and if American troops set foot over that border we're going to burn the White House down again for your own good. In the meantime, if you want a good use for those forces, maybe send them to liberate that El Salvador prison you created.
Don't forget militarising the Roosevelt Reservation. Or Panama. We've got 8-10 private prisons in AZ - nobody's in them without due process. I'd really like to see the contract for services between the US and El Salvador. Wonder who the COR is - or what Agency is paying the bill....
We can bring the child-trafficking Tate brothers back from Romania and bring wrongfully imprisoned people back from Russia, but we can’t return the people that *we’ve* wrongfully imprisoned?!? I’m old enough to remember when we would condemn other countries for that sort of thing! It’s criminal!
If trump tells Bukele to jump, he’ll ask trump, “how high?” $$$$$$$$$$$$$ El Salvador now works for trump, & we all know it. Trump’s stupid BS never ends. SCOTUS can do nothing now. They created this monster, & screwed US all.
Something that seems overlooked is that in the past when a US citizen was (possibly wrongly) imprisoned in somewhere like China or Russia, the US would be very VERY active in trying to get them released and returned. The Government would threaten, cajole, negotiate. Now's the opposite!
So what does it take to OVERTHROW a Dictator?
Answer... Will & Force - They are Counting on our Peace-Loving party to NOT have the BALLS to actually Overthrow a DICTATORSHIP...We WILL Go Quietly into the Night!???
And if a future president pardoned someone there, we could not get them released? If new evidence proved they were innocent, we cannot get them released? Is everyone sent there condemned to a life sentence?
Senator, it's too late to rail on about Trump/MAGA/Republican hypocrisy; we all recognize it. You are a really smart figure; focus on a) sand in the gears to '26; or b)moving toward sustainable impeachment; or c) additional Court actions on the myriad atrocities now being committed. Thanks.
He's laughing in our faces, and those that laugh with him, are too stupid to realize he'd do the same to them or their loved ones (if they have any)without blinking.
GOP are a bunch of eunochs, they turn my stomach. LOOOZERS.
At best it shows he’s powerless, at worse he made a deal on the DL with El Salvador prior to meeting so he court claim it’s “out of his hands.”
Like we need other nefarious countries deciding our POTUS is weak & to start refusing to release Americans from custody😞 Def stay out of Russia & N Korea!
As well as you can burn down a governors house, but the president doesn’t feel the need to acknowledge. If that were a Tesla dealership, you would be a domestic terrorist, he would be shipping you to El Salvadore
Has anyone actually seen the written agreement between El Salvador and the U.S.? Congress should demand to see the contract, and journalists should FOIA the heck out of that thing.
We are facing a regime which does not understand what is meant by "the truth". They seem to think they can make up anything they like, and call it "the truth". They also think people will believe them. . ..
Let’s be honest. El Salvador is essentially a government contractor hired to provide a (disgusting) service. They are paid - all you got to do is withhold payment until the guy is released. The turd withholds money all the time this is just more bullshit.

They’re tanning the hides
He can't take over Canada.
JFC, even the 'smart' ones aren't smart.
Reminds me of this
Do something with your power!
(Vote like your freedom depends on it, Canada!)
You should be a bit more understanding, Senator.
Defiance of the Judiciary won’t stop there.

These traitors seek to make a mockery of our laws.
Forgot an essential aspect.
They may not be a citizen but it should concern citizens that their rights are next on the chopping block and the US gov won't protect them.
At this point, the courts should be demanding "proof of life".

We would work with the majority of Americans to win back freedom for all of us.
Also Trump: I can't figure out how to get one guy back from El Salvador. 😭🤷🤔
🇨🇦
France had a solution.
El Salvador must be TOO HARD! like egg prices 🤷♂️
Is this why El Salvador won’t return an innocent man?
The current regime in El Salvador is as corrupt as the Trump administration and Trump himself.
Again, why isn’t he in prison?
That's not what it is, really, right? That's not what it is at all.
Am I missing something?
He's doing exactly what he wants here: being authoritarian and cruel, to the cheers of his cult.

When Trump shreds the Constitution by acting well outside Article 2 and in violation of the Bill of Rights, isn't he destroying his own legitimacy?
In front of the world.
The great gaslighting of America

Curious, no?
He is weak.
Pathetic.
Full of fear.
Needy little man boy.
And, really bad at golf.
It holds 40k people, and more than 70k have been sent.
The reason he isn’t coming back is we cant have evidence of such.
Signed,
Canada.
and ewwwwwww
