32. I'm glad Trump and his client dictator in El Salvador were FORCED TO PRODUCE him by public pressure

If he's going to be repatriated to El Salvador, they should process and release him. He's been convicted of no crime. If they're going to return him to the US, they should do that.

Indefinite detention without charges or trial is morally wrong. Free people don't tolerate it. This is a bedrock conservative belief and it's shocking that their obsession with Trump is causing them to forget it. Free people do not tolerate kings and tyrants throwing people into unaccountable prisons with no recourse.

This is crazy... you mean to say they COULD let him leave the prison? SSJVegeta Apr 2025 #23

I wonder why they did not allow him to visit the prison? tulipsandroses Apr 2025 #25

They don't want any Dems to know just how bad it is Bayard Apr 2025 #27
