It is not hard to imagine how Madison—and, likely, the rest of the Framers—would have viewed the proposed exile of American citizens by the Trump administration. In a presidency filled with lawless acts, few would be more egregious than this one.

Bukele and the Trump’s are all friends. He spoke at CPAC I was there. This was always the setup to end our democracy, to test the courts and then defy them, every single frame of this reality show from the glossy fear porn video to Kristi Noem in her tight white T-shirt.

This is why the 🍊🍕💩 wanted to send his prisoners, without due process, to Bukele in El Salvador. Their ideals line up to one another. "Very good. Who gave him that line? Think I could use that?" ~Trumpelstiltskin after Bukele explains why he imprisoned thousands without due process. FREE KILMAR! 🤬
