White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is exploring legal pathways to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has already arranged to house deported immigrants in a prison known for its human rights abuses.
So yeah if that’s the case then we need to seriously explore ways to remove him from office
That time came a long time ago.
Absolutely and it’s just getting more and more urgent
What did the founders say?
Something something second admendment against tyranny?
Well, I guess somebody needs to do their patriotic duty to defend the Constitution.
🏛💣💥🔫🇺🇸
Well, they didn’t say that. They did say we need to kill tyrants, but the second amendment is not part of that. It’s about defending the state, as militias were the standard military of the time, not standing professional armies like it is now.
Removal of Trumps entire regime should be the core demand of the protests, instead of that milquetoast “Hands off” BS
Does anyone still think America isn’t a dictatorship?
TBH its not very obvious. Immigration officials around the world probably still view the US as a democracy. If an American were to apply for political asylum in, say, the EU, for example, it would likely get rejected.
We need something very concrete, like if 2026 elections get cancelled or martial law declared, then they would actually take asylum applications seriously.
They aren’t going to declare or cancel anything. They’ll just do stuff and delay indefinitely.
Maybe for trans people they would get asylum, since many countries have issued travel warnings to trans people from outside the US about traveling to the US.
Unfortunately, they’ve made getting a passport prohibitively difficult for trans folks who have already changed their gender markers so even if countries were accepting trans asylum seekers (most aren’t) getting to and across the border has excess difficulties beyond convincing another country that your life and liberty are threatened.
Plus, by the time countries do start accepting asylum seekers it’ll be too late, boarder patrol will be detaining people before they’ll have a chance to cross.
I’ve read some comments from trans people that because blue states exist, they aren’t considered in danger when it comes to asylum.
Pretty sure Canada has been using that as reason for denials. Most of the orgs I’ve looked at don’t help trans people in the US for that reason too.
I’ll take blue state gladly, but even that’s a difficult prospect. The economics of being a despised minority which it is legal to fire, evict, (or DV lol) are very difficult - I would probably be homeless if I wasn’t very fucking good at math.
But also - anti trans movements and fascism in general are on the rise globally. There aren’t quite that many safe places to run to.
One aspect of being a gender/sexual minority versus someone being oppressed along the aspects of race, nationality status, or religion tends to be that we don’t usually have the same kinds of familial support. If I were a POC, my family and friends would probably understand my fears, validate them, and perhaps support me. Gay and trans people are born to straight and cis parents, and it’s impossible to have to explain “yes, I am currently doing sex work because my boss looked at my drivers license and decided that I shouldn’t have a job anymore.”
Moving to a new place requires support networks and communities that trans people don’t usually have.
The rest of the world doesn’t really get that unless blue states take more drastic actions, nothing can or will be done to save trans folks, and that the second the leading party changes from blue to red, all deals are now off, and this can happen every few years.
I feel like if you are trans in the US and don’t have plans to move, you need to get ready for the worst.
Well, it didn’t take as long as I thought it would to come to this.
That’s insane.
It is really simple. You put a swastika on your flag, blow an important empty building and you say the country is in an emergency, transfering all powers to White House.
I wish it were that obvious, at least then you could get political asylum in another country. Right now I doubt asylum applications would be taken seriously.
aw man…everyday i go like: sure them muricans cant come up and even do stupider shit today. yesterday was so stupid…seriously no chance for stupider shit.
but then…dang…again they did it. not only the orange guy…most of them. schumer, fetterman, cruz…they all have tapped into the only infinite resource. may idiocracy prevail,right?
Look on the bright side, now they can finally get rid of the Orange felon and Muskrat by deporting them to El Salvador! There is no greater threat to US security than them. Right?
I love how they just casually admit that they’re “exploring ways” to break the law.
This goldigging whore.
Can we not criticize fascism by jumping to unreconstructed misogyny please
Tbh is pretty accurate. My only wish is we had some good equivalent term for males, because the Republican party is chock-full of male goldigging whores
I just don’t think this lady’s hypothetical sexual promiscuity is the main problem here you know? This shouldn’t be controversial.
The problem is the fascism- detaining and deporting people for being the wrong color and stirring up hate against them.
From the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore
3. a mercenary or unscrupulous person : a person who is willing to compromise their integrity or principles for personal gain or in pursuit of something
I think you might be the only person who read the comment, and immediately think about the sexual meaning of this.
What I agree with you though, it that the term is mostly applied to women, hence why I was looking for a term that can be applied easily to men such as Ted Cruz (the master whore), or McConnell. Plenty of whoring in the Republican party males.
Its quite upsetting that when this behavior is done by males, we always try to find other slurs (sleazy etc), and when a woman do it, this one always comes out first. It should be applied equally. But that said, again, its the perfect description for what she is doing atm.
These idiots don’t get that they’re part of the problem
Eh? Whore is pretty ungendered.
I’m truly shocked that they said that, and that it was upvoted.
I don’t feel a need to be polite to MAGA Traitors. She IS a goldigging whore, and I stand by it. The fact there are upvotes shows that many agree.
If you want your country back, grow up and get with the program. These jackals are evil, and deserve no respect or mercy for any reason. Direct your feminist outrage toward the people who are actively, enthusiastically trying to create an American Taliban, and returning womens’ rights to the Middle Ages, not people like me who are resisting it.
You can be impolite while pointing to their actual bad behavior, like the black bagging and deportation and dismantling the administrative state and whatnot. Not their supposed sexual promiscuity. Bit hard to believe how I have to keep explaining this
Or, I can do all you suggested, and ALSO dehumanize them with humiliating names. Republicans do it routinely, because it works, and under the present circumstances, the Resistance shouldn’t waste a single weapon at our disposal. Propaganda is a powerful weapon, and its one that we can, and should, wield ruthlessly. They certainly do, and they deserve to get it right back.
You remember the Michelle Obama doctrine - When they go low, we go high? That’s what got us into this mess. I’m long tired of being nice, or polite, especially to traitors and Nazis.
I’m trying to save your freedom, so get with the program or get out of the way.
You are weak. This is why this country is failing
Bro, what alpha male bullshit are you spouting off about, we need more sensitive people like this in positions of power, do you think what’s going on right now is working and is a good thing with society, Seriously I’m asking you a question
Nah. He just got shutdown 9/9 by the Supreme court. It’s amazing that the Trump nutsucker C Thomas voted against his cult leader Trump … but there it is. Everyone gets due process.
You gotta source? Any hope I always question in these times…
Any hope I always question in these times
this is the way
What’d I miss?
source??? pleeease let there be a source…
Do you think they’ll actually abide? I don’t.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/08/politics/due-process-supreme-court-alien-enemies-act/index.html
That doesn’t sound like like a 9/9 slam dunk shutdown. It’s a 5/4 vote to remind the administration they need some fig leaf of due process. The article goes over all the ways that this isn’t really a check on the unconstitutional deportations.
maga like it
Whaaaaat…?
Easy deport them to US
Deported to a prison (aka: a forced-labor concentration-camp)
everyone acting like he wants to deport everyone who disagrees with him, as if that’s what was said even though it wasn’t
Honestly, according the video in the article, all she said Trump has talked about was the possibility of deporting repeat violent criminals. What I don’t get, is why do you have to deport them? Can’t you just keep them in prison?
Because once outside the US, the Republican position is that they no longer have recourse to the courts. So you can hustle somebody to El Salvador really fast, and then there is nothing they can do about it.
Whereas if you put people through the usual trial process and keep them in a US prison, they can later be freed as innocent.
So basically, point at person you don’t like (like minorities) and say “You did a crime! To El Salvador with you!” and they’re gone forever regardless of innocence. Great times.
everyone acting like he wants to deport everyone who disagrees with him, as if that’s what was said even though it wasn’t
The removal of due process will result in this happening, whether by Trump or another president down the line. It is a wildly dangerous precident to set and significantly erodes the rights of everyone in this country.
Like I said, I think they should just be kept in prison here, and not let out early if they are that bad. And if they are being let out, go after that issue.
I think you may be missing the point
Ah, that makes sense.
But, it sounds like he’s only talking about the worst of the worst. So then I assume it wouldn’t be hard to keep them in prison. Whatever, if those types are going free (which I have heard of happening), then there are other issues that should be dealt with.
removed extra word
Actually no. The worst of the worst stay in the US. The people they are deporting to El Salvador are mostly non-criminals or petty criminals. The actual violent criminals (the ones that are harder to control) do not make for good slaves and are kept in whatever prison they are already in.
No, the video in the article is talking about something that has not yet happened.
Don’t worry guys! He only wants to deport the worst criminals! You know, like the enemies of the people. Now, who was it that he call the enemy of the people, again…?
First they came for the students protesting the genocide and to divest from Israel… and we said FUCK THOSE PROTESTORS!
Rapists, gang members, democrats, red haired people, wokists… You know. The enemy!
I keep my wok hidden away in a secret room in the attic where they’ll never find it and make stir fry in a good old fashioned American manufactured skillet like our good lord and orange savior intended. You’ll never brand me a wokist
Everyone is a enemy combatant in the War on Flavor
Poor people
Then finally the non-loyalists
I did not have “The Nazi’s will outsource their gulags to El Salvador” on my fascism 2025 bingo card… I need to get more creative, or possibly criminally insane.
Its only until our own black site at Guantanamo has completed their new 30,000 prisoner facility. Then we can torture and execute dissidents ourselves, outside if the view of the media and courts.
I mean, Cuba isn’t really that different practically from El Salvador, when it comes to offshore concentration camps
Except that its ours, and that way our MAGAs get to have the fun of torturing and murdering Liberals.
This generation of leadership outsources and offshores things like it’s a bodily function.
It’s darkly hilarious that the red states won’t even get the tiny local economic boost provided by having the concentration camps in their areas.
Who would have even thought outsourcing would go this far?
Man, pay attention to terminology:
-
Nazi = Lager
-
Soviet = Gulag
-
Of course he does.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
That’s why I’m speaking out for these political prisoners in El Salvador. If they are criminals, then kick them out, but there has to be due process. This is AMERICA, everybody gets their day in court.
If they are criminals?? Brother we are all gonna be criminals soon
I meant violent criminals, but I get your point, and agree. Especially without due process, and HitlerPig claiming to be the sole arbiter of what is the law, anyone could be deemed a terrorist at any time. My post history will certainly get me designated as a terrorist.
First they came for the socialists … But the US was coming for the socialists at the time, so that part is left out at the Holocaust museum memorial.
Actually first they came for LGBTQ+ people and scientists studying controversial subject matter, but the guy who wrote the poem was a conservative Catholic priest, so he didn’t mind.
Worse than that, he was part of a group that carved out special exemptions for their churches with Hitler. And was a raging anti-semite until his death bed iirc.
So a traditional conservative who only saw evil when it affected him. And only insofar as HOW it affected him.
That makes it a better poem in retrospect, imo. It demonstrates its own moral
Man, can you imagine hating on your deathbed? I’d think of the slightly less shitty times.
A piece of garbage that has a far better legacy than he deserves.
Well, his legacy is about regretting a mistake for not standing up for others even if he doesn’t like them. I don’t think that’s a legacy of doing good even if it’s a good legacy. I think he has the legacy he deserves; being known for failing to do what’s right even when others died doing so.
You have a very good point. Not even remotely remorseful for being motivated by blind hatred, but able to at least consider the babies of a basic ethical framework based solely on pragmatism.
Actually, first they came for physically and mentally handicapped. The clergy spoke up because they were the first to notice that the families in their church with vulnerable individuals were all receiving letters that their family member had died while getting government-mandated “treatment” in a government hospital.
Hitler was "shocked, " and pledged to end the program. Instead, it went underground, and evolved into the Holocaust.
He already did and a judge ruled that he had to be brought back
And hasn’t been, last I checked. The excuse provided will infuriate you even more.
