Timothy Snyder: "Homegrowns are Next" -- Foreign gulags for US citizens

[ancianita]

"In his meeting with President Nayib Bukele today in the White House, President Donald Trump told his Salvadoran counterpart that “home-growns are next” and that El Salvador would “need to be build about five more places” to hold American citizens.

So the president of the United States proposes, on camera, to deport Americans to foreign concentration camps.

Here is a clip, with thanks:

And here is a link to full Salvadoran news feed, as shared by President Nayib Bukele on Twitter. [Sorry for posting X, but this is an evil meeting that must be seen to be believed]

The [Oval Office] exchange begins at about 7:20...

Here is the US reporter Danielle Kurtzleben noting the exchange.

Perhaps the worst part is the laughter of the Americans."

-------------------------------------

THE worsts of this meeting are
a) that Trump disses and dismisses CNN and other reporters,
b) that Trump self righteously hate-rant on Zelensky, Biden and Obama, with "I just want to stop it" meaning, I will negotiate a Putin win,
b) the lying Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio propagandize that Abrego Garcia was an illegal alien, and
c) that the SCOTUS 9-0 backs the district court and defends the refusal to "facilitate" the return of Garcia under the rubric of refusing to engage in or define foreign policy.

They gish gallop overwhelm Bukele with disinformation/lies into taking the side of this administration. It's the totalitarian oligarch deal to end the judiciary, and eventually blackbag "criminals" as defined by this ungodly administration.

3.5 years of this ahead.
