Well, that’s part of their masculine idea. If you get away with anything, then you are a “man” or in case of women, they have masculine energy (which I acknowledge can be use for and against women), so society rewards them. Like Zuckerberg saying corporate needs ”masculine energy”

Im lost, can they explain the timelines? Was he found to be MS13 AFTER or BEFORE he was granted protection from deportation to El Salvador. Seems the protection came later.
It’s like sayingsTrump won court cases trough appeals, ah but not really because some court said he lost before final decision.
