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’d’ve been saying either “dispel this fiction” or “dispense with this fiction”, not “dispel with this fiction”. But then again, I don’t know what I’m doing.

Yeah, he's an shameless opportunist, like every Republican on this train.

He positioned himself as a moderate for most of his career and was effectively a Never Trumper, before he kissed the ring, so we know he'll betray any principle he has to get close to power.

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.

“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"

42

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).

23

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.

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.

What should I put on my bingo card for the “reasons” these folk were abducted

So far I’ve got:

  • “;” or other mental health awareness tattoo
  • song lyrics tattoo
  • literature quote tattoo
  • medical procedure tattoo
  • surgery scars
  • no criminal record is evidence of criminality
  • tattoo of family member(s) (name, image, or other representation)
  • tattoo from a video game, or comics
  • no tattoos
  • something something hamas

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)

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.

Rubio sounds like a last name a gang member would have.

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.

15

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.

9

The people who should be sent there are the ones sending people there...

Disgusting.

That adds another 10 floggings and lashes to the list of public punishments for the Fascists.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Nobody feed the troll.

The worst thing you can do to him is leave him alone with his own thoughts.

It’s kind of hilarious, he’s just posting in every thread…. Intentionally trying to take the dumbest position possible? Like, have. Little respect for yourself, dude. We are what we pretend to be.

Anyway, blocked.

There is no due process and a lot of these people can't be truly said to be illegal or not because they are being snatched and dissappeared before a trial. And these aren't "deportations" if they are not being taken back to their country of origin. They are encarcerated. Group think? You're part of the group think buying the mainstream narrative that these are legal, transparent and above board. Fucking moron.

He knows. Every argument you say to him, he knows. He's not arguing from a place of "I think I'm right" or even "I'm a dumbass with dumbass views" he's arguing just to make others upset and muddy the waters.

Learn from the ways of the old internet: Don't Fees the Trolls.

Not having a good day at work today so I'm just using him as my emotional punching bag.

CECOT was created for the purpose of a large-scale gang crackdown in El Salvador and it has served its purpose extremely well so far. The illegals sent there are gang members. Gang members sent to a maximum security prison made specifically for those kinds of people. Seems more than reasonable to me.

These are all lies. There is absolutely no evidence these people are gang members. Why do you believe lies told to you by brazen liars who we’ve known were liars for years?

Or is it that you just pretend to believe them because you’re scum who believes certain classes of people just deserve to be sent to a foreign torture prison?

I believe the vast US surveillance system has way more knowledge about people they’ve probably had under the radar for God knows how long than biased individuals and media. I trust them over the “everything done during the Trump admin is a bad thing” group.

-15

Then you are a gullible fool. The president and his flunkies provably lie to us constantly, and they have pointedly refused to provide evidence of wrongdoing in these cases. It’s extremely obvious they have none.

I wonder if you’ll feel differently when they come for you or someone you care about? Or will you go on thinking “Big Brother knows best… guess grandma was a terrorist all along…”

If there’s a silver lining about current events it’s people openly revealing that they would have cheered as the SS rounded up their neighbors. Shame on you.

Looks like this dumbass doesn't know how to read either. This sheep got lost from its herd.
