The kidnapping of Kilmar Albrego Garcia should ABSOLUTELY be grounds for Trump’s immediate removal - how are the courts still allowing him to get away with this

Absolutely. It breaks my heart for my Salvadoran people. They had to deal with the civil war decades back, then the aftermath of it, then the massive gang problem, and now this?

Apparently people are only just waking up now, sort of. It’s been the height of frustration watch the horror unfold weeks before most citizens catch on. We can’t all be Michael Cohen or Mary Trump or Adam Kinzinger, but they have, along with so many others, been warning us for almost a decade. And now it’s nearly three months too late.

And why should China back down on tariffs? Trump started this for literally no reason, I would not want to meet with him either.

I'm looking forward to the Administrations explanations to the Midwest as the farmers realize they still aren't going to have a place to send their crops, and the Big Farm companies coming in to acquire the land. It was already bad from his last trade fiasco with China.

This will just continue to drive wealth into the top 1% until the administration works out a deal. Perhaps Musk and Zuckerberg could get them on a LIVE together to work things through?

Also looking forward to the MAGA reaction to the proposal to give each Greenlander $10K per year, while farms, businesses, jobs, and services in the US are wiped out.

Couple of pretty good law firms are doing just that--and when I say "pretty good," that's a severe understatement. Gorsuch and Barrett will recognize the names and their clerks will cringe. Trump will soon find out his "friends" are bottom level attorneys compared to these firms.

$568.7 million/yr of tax payer money to Greenland? I thought we were trying to eliminate government waste/fraud/abuse? Smh

Expand full comment
Christine Rendon's avatar

They’re taking everything away from from us, the American people and trying to steal our Social Security and yet they want to try to persuade the people of Greenland to become part of the United States by giving them $10,000 a year. It’s not gonna work they’re not gonna give up their healthcare and they’re not going to risk their women’s lives if they get pregnant to become part of the US. Nobody wants to be part of our country. Trump has made sure of that.

Yes, let’s turn our energy to DST. I’m so sick of this administration and their horrible prioritization. It’s all a smoke screen. But a lot of us can still see through it to what’s really going on: Watch for the report issued on 4/20. We may be in more trouble than we think. I hope I’m wrong - I’d love to be embarrassingly wrong.

Christine Rendon's avatar

I’m terrified also. He’s trying to create problems so he can invoke martial law that way there would be no more elections and we would lose our constitutional rights while martial law is invoked. On top of that he wants to be able to deport American citizens to El Salvador… That is absolutely terrifying.

The DOJ booted this man out of this country how quickly? And now they are whining that SCOTUS is making unreasonable demands on their time to bring him back? Boo-freaking-hoo.... I am just hoping from the bottom of my heart that Kilmar Albrego Garcia is still alive. I hope he survives this. I want him home and I want his case to catalyze the country more into bringing down this whole rotten administration.

Also, Aaron, something else to watch on China. Following Ukraine's capture of two Chinese nationals in the Donetsk region, there is now evidence of Russian promo videos targeting Chinese men to join Russian army. The videos are basically "macho man - working vacation" type fantasies. Here is where this is important....

While China is an ally to Russia politically and economically, their official guideline to their own citizens was to stay out of the military action. If this was just a facade, and China was indeed supplying troops to Russia - it's not good for China, since this blows their cover, which means China will get ticked off at Russia.

If this was NOT a facade, and China was sincere in their lack of desire to send their people to be canon fodder for Russia, China is bound to be equally ticked off at Russia for going behind the Chinese government's back and recruiting Chinese men using propaganda.

Either way, while it's unlikely, I am hoping this ruins the relationship between Russia and China, resulting in China no longer supplying ammo, weapons, and other products to Russia.
