I'm honestly baffled why this angle is not being covered more thoroughly by MSM

There's a lot more to the deportation deal between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele that you REALLY need to know about. WATCH:

And little to no mention of Bukele stating he would only accept “convicted criminals.”

Hi there! I just made a video on how Peter, Paul and Mary’s “El Salvador” is still so relevant today.

So, I went back to listen to that AP video clip of Rubio. It concern everyone that Rubio talked about El Salvador housing US citizens who are serving criminal sentences. This should have been a red flag 2 months ago.

lkthompson.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I know that Trump has said it several times as well, but this clearly shows this administration is SERIOUS about removing US citizens to serve prison sentences in a foreign country.

And I wish they would refer to these as rendentions, not deportations

Becasue MSM is part of the problem! No reason whatsoever to be baffled, as it has been blatantly obvious for years. We need to pivot away from NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, CNN and make ones like Mother Jones and Meidas Touch our new MSM sources. Stop feeding the machines of the ones propping this shit up!!!!

My father, who is elderly and a complete News junkie and I were chatting at lunch yesterday. As we were talking about politics, he said,” well you know Bukele is part of the MS 13, I said “huh” and brushed it off. I’ve never heard of it before.
Leave it to my 83-year-old dad to know.

As another old gal that grew up where criminal organizations used to own most government officials, I agree with your father. No politicians in El Salvador could survive long without some kind of cooperation with the criminal organizations that run/own the country.

The term deportation is for sending migrants back to their country of origin. Sending people to a prison in a country they did not come from is called kidnapping.

So, in essence, the U.S. (via Trump and Rubio) has signed a deal with Bukele that will result in the release of dangerous criminals (MS-13 leaders), while those with no criminal records will languish. Do I have that right?

In theory, you would think Bukele would be more cooperative in returning Abrego Garcia and others wrongfully incarcerated. The longer they remain in prison, the more attention will be directed there and the greater the possibility this story blows up in his face.

joschein.bsky.social•9 hours ago

He’s not a free agent. He’s following the administration’s orders.

h2iam.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I think Bukele is being”uncooperative” by design. He’s being asked/told to keep him. It is Trump who is being dumb by bringing more attention to it
