Unfortunately, it's because no one broke the MAGA narrative and admitted they were "mistakes" in court too. They sacked the lawyer that said Abrego's kidnapping was an error.
But that's also why Abrego's case is vital. From now on they will never admit to a mistake, so I hope we throw everything possible at the regime for this.
Exactly. I read one report that said 90% had never committed a crime, and the ones that have records were for very minor things; NOT like 34 FELONY convictions.
it... it would also be the perfect set up trump would need to disappear leaders of the opposition. All he has to do is tell the FAA to ban flights from El Salvador, or even cut a deal with Bukele to create some sort of crisis.
Yeah, enough with this. You will *never* get everything you want out of a politician, and they are all corruptible in some way. If you’re a person willing to help us fight against this fascist regime, I’m not gatekeeping you. Everything else is just noise till this is fixed.
This is clearly a winner. I’m already seeing Republican commentators criticize this. lol So it has them worried. @chriscillizza.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social
So they're just "eyeing" the trip? Not actually committed to fighting this bullshit? This is not the energy we need when they're only considering it. It should have been the first thing they did. They should have gotten him back themselves.
Lord, please protect them at all costs! I don't trust that this current hateful administration wouldn't "plan" for something happen to them - the El Salvadoran admin too!
My administration and respect for Sen. Booker is growing by the day. First, he gave the record-speech for 25 hours. Now he's going to El Salvador.
He has courage, compassion and competence.
He should replace Chuck Schumer and should try for a presidential run in 2028 if elections are still held then
Been saying the same thing… I keep envisioning the horrific images of those empty planes in Guyana, surrounded by bodies on the ground. It’s time for Operation GOP Shield… their rightful frontline position that they so richly deserve.
It will be a big deal when they arrest them as “homegrowns” and lock them up for good too. There are no rules here. Bukele gives two shits about norms like diplomatic immunity.
I agree. It’s the right thing to do. Hopefully doesn’t end like the Ryan trip to Guyana. They need to bring a large security detail with them. I don’t put anything past these people anymore.
I have designed a poster in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If you would like a print file of it to print out and display in your window or use at a protest (or whatever else), please message me. : )
...has anyone thought about what if Pukelele (TM) just abducts all our Dem congresspersons for "trespassing" or some BS? For real though, they didn't say anything when a Dem Governor's house was set on fire in an obvious hate crime, they might even "facilitate" it 😬
You know? A couple months ago I’d agree with you 100%. Now? Maybe a handful of Republicans would question it for half a day until Krasnov whips them in line. (Quite cynical these days as you can see)
I don’t think Congressional Republicans would even object if their Democratic colleagues were marched out of the chambers and shot. They sold their souls to Trump. (I mean maybe Lisa Murkowski would be upset, and Susan Collins would turn up her concern dial a degree or two.)
They would care if they valued their seats. Inaction would make them look weak, MAGA hates “weak men” MAGA may be insane but unless Trump spins a real good story about why our politicians were abducted MAGA would love a reason to attack a foreign nation. Republicans do nothing MAGA won’t vote.
Thinking like this is why we are where we are today. Bush should have been tried at the Hague. Republicans now are the same as they ever were, they're just louder.
You dont fuck with american politicans like that - like would trump *like to* jail them all and throw away the key - yes. But if that does happen, american power projection disappears. Americans still have 800 military bases around the world that *must not* be messed with.
Also if Trump and MAGA do nothing, it kinda opens the door for them to be abducted any time they leave American soil, gonna make those Greenland and Panama purchased pretty difficult if every time someone gets sent over there they never come back.
This is great news. I just hope everyone stays safe in the process and they can get back in the United States themselves no mater who they are as Donny Wonny could sign another order that anyone that goes to El Salvador is not allowed back in the United States Of America. It can happen.
100%. I keep saying “kidnapped” or “abducted” EVERY time I talk about this story… and ALL of the recent kidnappings from college campuses, other institutions. KIDNAPPINGS / ABDUCTIONS… every single one.
This is exactly the kind of leadership we so desperately need right now. Thank you Cory, Bernie and AOC. Are there any other Dems out there with the balls to step up and confront the takeover of our democracy head on?
And a mentally unhinged lunatic dementia, ridden psychopath, 34 time, convicted, felon, convicted, rapist, and all the lunatic maggots are all gonna have a meltdown and the the fake administration are gonna have a fucking meltdown, the bigger, the meltdown the more they’re guilty!! stay tuned!
I sincerely hope they take an armed cadre of security personnel with them. Trump will likely tell Bukele to imprison them upon their arrival in his country.
How is that an actual question? Use your imagination. Pick up a history book. Hitler didn't go down because people voted blue hard enough. Buying complacency & the illusion of safety 4 years at a time obviously isn't cutting it. Simping for has-beens & never-weres isn't either.
I wish! We're too outnumbered now. I'm sure there are Repubs who would love for him to be impeached but have too many threats against them and their family to be brave enough to vote for impeachment.
I hope they do more than say "Look at the bad stuff we saw". I'm glad they're going there, but lately we're not getting much pushback against the fascists from these folks.
Voters could have prevented the horror of these stolen men, by simply giving a shit about saving America from fascism & fking getting off their asses & voting for a Senate & House Majority.
WHY DIDN'T VOTERS DO SOMETHING TO HELP 'THESE PEOPLE'
I agree completely. 90 million people sat on their asses and a whole bunch of people thought it was about candidates, not preserving democracy, so they cast protest votes. Now, here we are. We had to prevent Trump from getting in because even with a majority, they won't do shit. They have no spine.
Something to keep in mind. The dictator of El Salvador is best buds with the orange fat dope. He may not allow them into the facility. Worse yet, he may do something stupid like arrest them. If he does, this will bring condemnation from other countries.
No he’s going specifically to find Garcia and try to negotiate a way to bring him home. He is not going there on “for profit prison business.” He would not be in favor of these disgusting camps.
It might dare Trump to not allow the reentry of a high profile politician. Would he do it, especially being just months back in office? At this point and with Trumps degree of insanity it would be his ultimate power play and there isn't anyone in this admin. that will say no and they prove days in.
FYI. Don’t use all the same plane. Look what happened in 2010 to Poland government when there was an “accident” (that was not accident!) in Smolensk, Russia.
i did look him up. i couldn't remember the names of the first jonestown casualties. they found the facts and died trying to bring them home. because of one insane tweeker.
Can the Dems that aren’t going find that same energy and have huge rallies across the country! AOC and Bernie are proving the country is ready to rally. Both red, blue and purple.
COME ON DEMOCRATS!
Kudos but can they do this safely? Do they have leverage? Should they recruit foreign leaders who can apply sanctions or take other actions? They need innovative strategies!
What’s stopping Trump from getting them all detained there? He’s shown he has no limits to his depravity and congress has shown they will do very little to stand up to him.
I don’t think anything will happen to them (it’d be a really stupid move). At most, Bukele probably won’t let them have access to the E-camp, or to the prisoners.
No. Please don’t go. If they detain them against their will Trump could try to have votes in the senate with an absent clump of dems and say it’s legal. Think bigger.

Also even if they do i suspect whatever underhanded shit donald has going on wont be moved. Hell they prbly wont be let out of the airport
He has courage, compassion and competence.

What could go wrong?
Booker fails the AIPAC Dark Money Genocide litmus test miserably.
A politician that sells out for Genocide will sell out for anything.
Booker is Old Centrist Anti Progress Dem and a sham.
Primary his corrupt ass.
I recently binged The Good Wife and The Good Fight and they were very good.
The Republicans in Congress are supine. They are Trump's lap dogs. They are his abject servants.
Therefore, it's up to the Democrats to act.
No one else will take a stand. It's up to the Dems.

The trip will go swimmingly well, I’m sure. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Deportation is a legal process that was not followed or even involved
This man was kidnapped and renditioned
These things are not the same. At all. Please stop using the word "deported"
Go but have a clear exit.
Voters could have prevented the horror of these stolen men, by simply giving a shit about saving America from fascism & fking getting off their asses & voting for a Senate & House Majority.
WHY DIDN'T VOTERS DO SOMETHING TO HELP 'THESE PEOPLE'
But this will definitely push things forward.
Go well Kia kaha noho kaha (be strong stay strong)
MSM has been a failure to us and most of it would be fascist propaganda if they did accompany.
IMPORTANT please share far and wide!

Just grab a camera crew to document the savagery and show up!!!
No film crews or press.
It's also the perfect opportunity for the administration to start a false flag war.
COME ON DEMOCRATS!
