I agree. That was a tragedy but the members of Congress who went were doing the right thing. It would take a lot of freakin balls for Bukele to try to assassinate members of Congress
Yes, they’ll be arrested in ES — and Trump will be delighted. Would the Trump Admin intervene to get them out? Probably eventually, but only after humiliating them publicly and using them for propaganda.
True but that was a cult, this is the El Salvadoran government - if they were to attack a Congressional delegation it would be an act of war requiring retaliation
"Leo Joseph Ryan Jr. (May 5, 1925 – November 18, 1978) was an American teacher and Democratic Party politician who represented California's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1973 until his assassination hours before the Jonestown massacre in 1978."
If one of the few clever and honest members of the press left could put it to Trump, on camera, that Bukele is walking all over him that might psychologically do the trick.
El Salvador is closer than Costa Rica FFS. It’s a tiny country, full of restaurants, hoteles and resorts. everyone knows everything going on. And half of them speak some english
Correct, but one would need to bring his or her own armed security personnel to ensure this ES clown of president/close friend/business friend of Trump doesn’t start shooting if he so chooses.
Bukele would give him back if the US just asked…the point is that the US is not even attempting to “facilitate.” I highly doubt a pressure campaign is required. We pay them.

After all it's paid for by the American tax dollar.
We already know very few in Congress have a spine - so I don’t see this happening.
