Kilmar Obrego Garcia was tortured in El Salvador.
After reading what they did to him, people need to know they do ALL OF THE SAME THINGS to people right here in the USA in county jails and psyche wards.

Every time i read about what the US did to people in Guantanamo Bay, and frankly now again reading about what they did to Kilmar, i get flashbacks because i experienced something like 3/4 of the atrocities reported by prisoners in Guantanamo Bay while i was locked in psyche wards and jails in the US

Now, now, it's not fair to accuse Biden and Kamala of being a war criminal and rigging the primary.
Trump's elections are the responsibility of THREE Democratic war criminals who rigged their primaries.

Courts have already found some DOGE employees in violation of the law. Access logs will help reveal what data they accessed and what they may have taken with them. But that’s just the start. There are audit trails, metadata, network traffic, and backup discrepancies.

It isn’t hard. Life in the US has been made unbearably precarious and cruel by the wealth class and the rank and file Democrats are beholden to them.
People want leaders who are more concerned with helping them than staying in the wealthy’s good graces and none of the transparent slander matters.

Trump wants his “Big 💩 Bill” passed by July 4th. While it’s been trimmed back, serious risks remain. Some provisions could still make it through if 60 senators vote for them, unlikely, but not impossible. There’s also the chance the House rewrites and reintroduces them,

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.
