Even then that’s kinda dubious. You don’t want your dangerous folks out there actually doing kind of important stuff that either risks them escaping or sabotaging or fucking up. There’s only so many useful jobs you can have maximum security prisoners doing, and they don’t tend to be ones that create a lot of value. I imagine that much of it is digging ditches and filling them back up again.
Yeah, tbh, they’re trying to say these are all life sentences. It got me thinking: if El Salvador believes the US will never ask for the prisoners back, what’s their incentive not to just kill these people and take the whole check to the bank? I know this guy in particular was seeking refuge from El Salvadorian gangs in the US, so there’s a special incentive for him to end up dead, but I really don’t see why they wouldn’t just kill all the US prisoners if they really believe that the US will never ask for them back AND wants them in jail for life AND aren’t demanding some kind of tracking. There’s literally no reason at all not to just kill em and keep cashing the checks. If anyone comes knocking just say “oh shit, I guess they got away” or “we must have transferred them and lost the paperwork, sorry”
That’s another possibility, and also possibly why they’re trying to say that trips to that prison are always life sentences. That’s the only way not having tracking makes any kind of sense at all. But realistically, every prison, even a Salvadorian super jail, is going to have some kind of tracking, or they’d never know if they lost a prisoner.
I’m betting they won’t be able to get him because he’s already dead and they know it but don’t want to admit it.
Llama4 don’t say the N word challenge: impossible
Well, I’ve been watching a lot of TV static here lately and I’ve gotten really good at seeing things others can’t. Let me give this a try.
“Kill Ronald Reagan”. Huh.
We’ll see, I guess. I don’t think this administration really needs rhyme, reason, or symbolism. They’ll just do what the fuck ever when the fuck ever.
No way. The oil bros would be real unhappy about that, because it means that they might have to be accountable for anything at some point ever. It’s going to be something fucking stupid.
I mean, yeah. They want a king. I am, without any exaggeration or irony, surprised that they haven’t tried to dissolve the legislative branch entirely yet.
Thanks, man. I am trying.
Okay, first of all, I was questioning your assertion. We should always be willing to critically examine our beliefs, or we’d still be beholden to the divine right of kings.
Second, while I appreciate that that’s the current state of affairs, I think that no small part of it is due to Overton window drift and nobody being willing to stick their neck out and present a bold alternative vision for people to adopt. All we have is “Mexicans bad” and everything from “Mexicans bad lite” to “[pride flags][si se puede] Mexicans okay ish”. You don’t see anyone calling for taking a hammer to the system that makes immigration so fucked up in the first place.
I was constantly reminded of my native heritage by my parents while growing up in Oklahoma; they always argued what stupid fraction of which tribe we were. Of course, there’s no documentation. I did the genealogy a while back, and it turns out I’m so fucking white that I could make snow get deported by ICE; I’m, like, pronounce the H white. Anyway, so much to say that being sent back to England, while certainly a punishment, would be getting off easy, all things considered.
Edit: I don’t consider myself a racist, I just suffer from skimming. I just re-read the post :(
Meh. I’m not sure how much I really believe this vs. the only candidates with the financial backing and media platform to get noticed in primaries tend to be the corpocentrists.
A machine can never be held responsible, therefore a machine must ALWAYS make management decisions
Meh. If everyone in California pitched in $1 and we straight up bribed him $35 million, I’m pretty sure he’d go off screaming about what a great idea it is and MAGA would eat it up.
Do you have any data? I’m way left of the democrats, I was vocally against the pro-Israel stance, and I still voted for Kamala.
Idk, seems an awful lot like Benny just wanted to give Trump the credit. Israel rug pulled the Biden administration on peace talks like eight separate times before that. When I say rug pulled, I mean that they just didn’t even bother showing up. Israel showed no indication at all, at any point, that they were taking the Biden administration serious, and why should they? They were handing over the free bombs just as fast as you like, but tut-tutting at them while they did it. That’s an unserious stance that doesn’t deserve respect.
Microplastics are woke? Fellas, is accumulating microplastics in your balls gay?
“why golly golly gumdrops we had no idea asshole mcbabyeater was a baby eating freak that wanted to eat our babies, we just thought he would let us dump out trash in the local pond and lower our taxes. We take full responsibility for this one, so we’re going to start a branding coalition. Sorry, guys :(”
