  • Kilmar Abrego Garcia’a underlying crime is “human trafficking,” which makes him sound like a bad guy. The “crime” stems from a traffic stop, where he was driving a company van full of construction workers to the worksite, and when he was found to be undocumented, his driving responsibilities were re-characterized as “human trafficking.”

    And that has been MAGA’s rationalization for sending him to CECOT, and hounding him ever since. He was an employee valued enough to be given the responsibility of driving a company vehicle full of other employees, but that’s not enough to protect him from this kind of MAGA bullying.

    And what’s worse, is that he became the lightning rod to represent the whole situation, but there were hundreds of others who were more or less just like him. They weren’t gang members, human traffickers, etc., they were just undocumented. And for that “crime,” they are serving life sentences in a torture prison, as we debate how unfair it is for Garcia. I’m sure that will make them all feel much better about their endless MAGA nightmare.



  • Don’t give them credit for anything. They intended to keep all their money, and stiff the MAGA dummies. Then it hit the media in a big way, and they decided to get it done ASAP.

    So they found a manufacturer that had enough inventory to fulfill the orders, and went with them. Under those circumstances it would almost certainly be a fairly recent model. Ten year old phones might not even have manufacturer support. The fact that they had so many hanging around means this model was probably a dog.




  • I looked it up, and supposedly gas peaked at $5 under Biden, but I don’t know when that was, and it must not have lasted very long. I know for a fact that it was a point of pride that I had never paid over $3.99 per gallon until Trump came along.

    Besides, how does that Biden-blaming work? So if gas got to $9 under Biden, does that mean MAGAs are okay with it going to 8.99?

    I assume they were pissed at Biden when it got over $3-4, right? So how come if it was bad when Biden did it, it’s okay for Trump to do it? This idea of: “So what if inflation/ unemployment/ etc is way up, it was worse under Biden!” is a really illogical argument. You hated it under Biden enough that you just had to allow a proven traitor and pedophile back into the job, but now it’s all okay? It seems like everything bad is okay, as long as it isn’t as bad as Biden, but if it gets worse than Biden, it’s still okay, because that’s Biden’s fault, too.

    Haven’t these people ever heard that two wrongs don’t make a right?
