Decidme, ¿podéis verlo? El año comienza con una auténtica farsa. Un aspirante a dictador invade el país de un dictador real, secuestra al presidente y a su esposa y proclama la justicia. La ironía no puede ser mayor. Entran en escena los monos MAGA, ondeando con orgullo nuestra bandera, ensuciada.

Oh, say, can you see? The year opens with pure farce. A wannabe dictator invades an actual dictator's country, kidnaps him and his spouse, and declares justice. Irony doesn't get much richer. Cue the MAGA monkeys, proudly flapping our now thoroughly soiled flag.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Why does this ridiculous, stupid, coke-addled nepo-baby of a nepo-baby brat have any say in U.S. foreign policy? What foolish, horrifying times we live in.

“You have arrived in hell.”
That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants.
Human Rights Watch said
“Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence”
This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”
