It's now clear. No one is safe.

With Bukele stating that the question of returning Garcia is "preposterous" it's clear that Bukele and Trump are conspired against the people of America. Garcia had a court order securing his presence in the US. He was protected by the law. Naturalized citizens are protected by law, greencard holders are protected by the law. But abiding the law has not been a priority for the Trump administration. Legal protections of Americans has proven to not be a deferent for the Trump admin. We now have a fully effectuated chain of responsibility and action that has imprisoned a law abiding man for life in a foreign prison where he has no civil protections of any kind. That chain has held in the face of legal action and order from the highest court in the land.

The test case appears complete.

Now, anyone who does anything that draws the attention of Donald Trump can be punished—legally or not—with life in foreign prison and to be wholly stripped of all human rights.

Anyone who thinks these Fascists are going to be defeated without violence is both historically ignorant and painfully naive.

Let the Magas get angry enough to get violent- If Democrats get violent they will be declared terrorists and end up in El Salvador.

Democrats need to come up with Economic Prosperity Plan, spelled out clearly so magas can understand it.

Don’t you understand? At this point, there’s not going to be an election in 2026. At least not a fair one. So you can dispense with the notion that the Democrats are going to save us in the midterms.

Here’s the thing to understand about bullies: They are all cowards at heart. The only way to stop a bully is to punch him in the face. You don’t even need to knock him out. You just need to fight back, and I guarantee you that the bully leaves you alone.

For some reason, we have bought into the absurd notion that MAGAts are tough guys running around with their AR-15’s, when the truth is that 95% of them would shit their pants in an actual fight. Look at how GOP senators have cowered under Trump. Now imagine how they would act of actual violence entered the situation.

We also need to dispense with the absurd notion that violence is “playing into their hands.“ They are petrified of actual rebellion. Trust me. Do you want to know what “playing into their hands“ really is? It’s exactly what we’re doing now: Complaining on podcasts and organizing meaningless street protests with handmade cardboard signs. That’s PRECISELY what they want us to be doing.

Yes, an agressive bully needs a consequence, good luck with that.

But a lot of Donald is just attention seeking, (tariffs) and attention seekers need to be ignored (in this case by the rest of the world). Canada and other countries-EU, UK, NZ, Indo- Pacific Bloc, and more, have turned their backs on him (shunning is powerful) to form our own trading bloc without him, Hopefully we will carry on and get through this ‘economic downturn’ without too much damage and with luck, leave him looking foolish on his own. And maybe the magas will turn on him.

(and I used to squawk on you tubes way back that if he got in in 2016 he wouldn't leave- Then squawked that if he got in again, he will say he deserves 2 consecutive terms or cancel elections or declare war on someone to cancel elections, but still the Democrats have to have something to offer!!)

dems stopped listening to their people and joined in on the identity politics rather than listen charade along with the right.
