Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that another 10 people have been sent to El Salvador amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

    I didn’t know much about Rubio prior. Now we know he’s a complete piece of shit that doesn’t believe in the Constitution.

      Agreed.

      Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

      I remember when the most fun they made of him was about drinking water during a speech.

        This is how someone with a background of being bullied behaves, with an intense need to overcompensate when “in” with his would-be bullies.

    Voted 99-0 in the Senate.

    Good job, Democrats. We know Republicans were pieces of shit, but the reason Democrats’ polling is in the toilet is because of stuff like this.

    “These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign Nation, and their future is up to President B and his Government. They will never threaten or menace our Citizens again!” the president added.

    That asshole is just laying the groundwork for why he can “disappear” people and not bring them back. Maybe once they start disappearing white people the lazy American public will finally wake up. Of course by then it’ll be too late.

      I don’t think they’ll even wake up then.
      The Republicans won’t care if it’s white people, they’ll just be glad they’re getting rid of the “libs”

        Yup.

        Some reactionary asshole I know was saying that there are a lot of people incorrectly repeating that the “wrong people” are getting deported.

        Despite the court records being absolutely clear that this is illegal (and we shouldn’t be sending people to slave torture camps regardless of what they did).

        Yeah. Plenty of Germans didn’t “wake up” even when their Jewish friends and neighbours were being abducted and sent to concentration camps. 'Murrica is no different.

      And the proof that these people are “barbarians” who “menace our citizens” is that the government kidnapped them and trafficked them into permanent imprisonment in El Salvador. That’s the same amount of proof they’ll produce when they do it to you. It could happen today, and there would be no chance to contact friends and family, or to argue your innocence. Because there has been no due process, and no proof or even accusation of any crime, we have to assume that all of these people sent to prison in El Salvador are innocent, just as you would be.

      Shit, this perpetual foreigner had better watch out for his own party.

      One minor slip up and his Hispanic ass will be deported by Trump’s racist border czar.

      He doesn’t have the same SS protection as the president and VP have does he?

      (yes the SS is intentional as opposed to USSS)

    It would be so poetic if once all is said and done all MAGA leaders got sent to El Salvador as punishment. Oh how blissful I would be to learn of that.

      Its funny because we see him again and again turn on his supporters. They do one thing out of line and he goes after them as much as his most ardent opponents. Moreso really.

    Feels like a beta test running the first few laps that will go on to expand on colors plus job descriptions and whatever other minute details that would further this agenda
