More: Steve Bannon on mass deportations to El Salvador:

“If there's some innocent gardeners in there? Hey, tough break for a swell guy.” — From the March 17, 2025, edition of Real America's Voice's War Room

- - -

No, Steve, this is the US Government “disappearing” innocent people without due process. Not a tough break, but completely against US Constitution!

How would you handle it if it was YOU—or your CHILD—that went missing without explanation, with no recourse, and no hope of retrieval? How would you handle dealing with the knowledge that simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time they are now in a dangerous and perhaps deadly foreign prison?

That's pretty rich coming from a guy who fleeced the MAGA sheep with his personal "We build the wall" scam. It would be a darn shame if these treasonous slugs ended up in a El Salvador slave labor farm. They sure do like that Madisonian democracy when it is them in court.

Bannon promotes cruelty by design. This is a must-read for understanding the depths of evil at play. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7879781/ Is the Use of Personality Based Psychometrics by Cambridge Analytical Psychological Science's “Nuclear Bomb” Moment?

OMFG!!! This must stop. If throwing horns is a sign of gang activity then 98% of American citizens are members of gangs. What the actual hell is going on with ICE agents? Are they really this stupid? Also, having a tattoo that represents a sport that you love is a sign of gang activity then what is next? A tattoo of a heart with the word mom tattooed on your body?

So, are they going to be returned for due process, or are they all being tortured to death?

Like the 40,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped by Putin, are they just … gone? MAGA?

I don’t know, but I think these racist and cruel garbage people have always been around through American history. They have had periods in the American journey since before the confederacy emerged (native American genocide, American slave trade) where atrocities were committed by white people in power and on into present times. Racism and cruelty go hand in hand, America is steeped in it, just currently voters are willing to accept it as long as “the bad ones “ are sent out of the country. Too many Americans have bought the right wing racism mantra over the years so that they are blinded to the reality of the benefits of a diverse and vital society.

Unbelievable the level of incompetence.

It’s not incompetence. Unfortunately the cruelty is the point.

When you put a goal of how many “illegal immigrants” need to be removed monthly with a deadline that will have severe consequences if not met: You then have ICE employees grabbing anyone that fits a certain profile so they can meet that goal and avoid punishment.

This is all being done by design. There’s no incompetence about it: they simply don’t give a shit because they are trying to save their own skin and/or are vehemently racist.

It’s also designed to be a big strongman reality show, to flex trump’s military & authoritarian muscles. With zero regard to legalities, due process, constitutional rights, human rights, or even basic morality. Same as the DOGE armed entry into the Institute for Peace yesterday. Just so many displays of lawless unchecked power. I can hardly believe this is America. It makes me sick.

What I would like to know is how we can get an ICE employee registry. I think it’s time to find some names and make some lives a living hell.

Would be nice if someone like Anonymous could hack into a database and get a list of names and addresses. 🤔

save your energy and anger and action for the guys at the top. ICE agents may be mysogenistic and cruel but they are the bottom of a huge system of keeping people poor and ignorant (hey--those at the top just dismantled the Dept of Education which sends money to poor states in a REALLY disgusting move to keep us down). So I have a wisp of understanding about why they chose those jobs in their need to survive, but I have only contempt for those in power that rig the system so we are all caught up in it.

Both the World Cup and Olympics should move themselves elsewhere in protest of these human rights violations.

EVERY single person @ ICE & this admin seems to be just freaking HORRIBLE beings!! They effing hate anyone that is not a white male. How can they be so gleefully cruel, what type of people have they been raised by and what type of little humans are they raising? This is despicable.

Karma ... where are you at??

It is a debilitating symptom of micro-peens. This is how they act when they all high-five each other and touch tips. Unfortunately, that is not a medical condition that can be cured. I don’t think they really know that we know but we know. Those who are the most vile, hateful, incompetent men who have to “take” from women bc they’re not wanted and hate everyone who is not white, because they feel threatened. Well guess what fellas, we all know your terrible secret and we all laugh together while we talk about you.

I grew up in a small farming community in a red state. I saw this first hand growing up. All the lifted, glass exhaust pipe enhanced “man-trucks”, cruising the Main Street strip, peeling out to show fear to anyone who didn’t look like them. Most of those hateful “man-child” boys I grew up with are still there. Alcoholics. That hate sure does fester deeply over time and it’s quite pitiful. While the kind “friend to all” guys are living wonderful, respectful, lives. I don’t hate the mean boys from my hometown. I pity them. And I laugh at them and point. Too bad they were trying to be so cool by being cruel instead of learning that this country at the peak was diverse. I’m not blind that we’ve had to fight to get there as a people, and I’m not romanticizing history, but we only grow together and we were doing it!

I think this is all done by design. They are making sure that all people who don't have light skin can be rounded up regardless of citizenship/residency status. The whole gang angle is just a ploy to get people to sit back and do nothing.

So true! Easy way to get tons of non white people at once! I'm worried they will come for the disabled next... Find us a "nice beautiful, comfortable, fully monitored place in a smart city" where they will control our meds, food etc and k?ll us off. All part of project 2025

In other words they they lied when they said all the people they sent to El Salvador were carefully vetted as gang members as there is no need for due process, BIG SURPRISE !. MAGA is spoon fed all this shit and they eat it up. Innocent people get sent to a brutal prison run by a brutal dictator that makes millions from the now openly corrupt and brutal USA. Way to go all you good christian nationalist!

and WE are paying 6 MILLION dollars (not counting the plane ride) to El Salvador to have them housed in a torture prison for a year (what happens after that??) Why should I complain I guess--it's the equivalent of two weekend golf trips for the president, and we don't belly ache about that. (6 million times 50 weekends--just $300 million dollars of our hard earned tax money).

Tina's avatar

Exactly! All the $ Doge is supposed to be saving is going to other countries to pay for the prisoners. So instead of having illegals here who will work and pay taxes we pay for them to go to prison. That costs way more than us providing them healthcare. They forget to mention that to the Magas

My math may be off here but you get the point. One golf trip per weekend x50 weeks is a mere $150 million dollars. Enough for many family’s SNAP benefits. Enough for several govt. employees salaries. Enough to support many children’s educations. Etc. Add $6 million to that amount and it is even more useful.
