Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

MILLER: “A DOJ lawyer, who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing that this was a mistaken removal. It was not.” Astonishing stuff — DOJ conceded even to SCOTUS that the deportation was “administrative error.” Is Trump’s Solicitor General also a saboteur?

First of all, "a saboteur"? Get a grip there, High School Himmler. Second, the Trump administration is now saying they deliberately sent innocent people with no criminal record to rot in a foreign prison. Going with "straight evil" over "incompetent" is a choice, I guess.

This fact should be in every news account on this case. Right now the Trump admin's spin would lead you to believe their choice is merely between leaving him in a gulag in El Salvador to rot for life; and bringing him back to roam free in the US for the rest of his life. THAT IS NOT THE CHOICE:

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

If Abrego Garcia is such a big threat and has no legal right to be here, as Trump propagandists keep claiming, then bring him back and move to deport him properly. That is absolutely an option. Why won't they do that?

Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

Trump on his plan to impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals: "All I have to do is impose a tariff. The more, the faster the move in. It's very simple -- it's inversely proportional, the higher the tariff, the faster they come."

Yeah, but he said it on camera into a live microphone. As long as Trump brags about his crimes openly, the media pretends there's nothing wrong. There's only something wrong when a politician covers it up, see.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet. It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him. And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.
