White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is exploring legal pathways to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has already arranged to house deported immigrants in a prison known for its human rights abuses.

    Of course he does.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

      First they came for the socialists … But the US was coming for the socialists at the time, so that part is left out at the Holocaust museum memorial.

          Actually, first they came for physically and mentally handicapped. The clergy spoke up because they were the first to notice that the families in their church with vulnerable individuals were all receiving letters that their family member had died while getting government-mandated “treatment” in a government hospital.

          Hitler was "shocked, " and pledged to end the program. Instead, it went underground, and evolved into the Holocaust.

          Worse than that, he was part of a group that carved out special exemptions for their churches with Hitler. And was a raging anti-semite until his death bed iirc.

          So a traditional conservative who only saw evil when it affected him. And only insofar as HOW it affected him.

            Man, can you imagine hating on your deathbed? I’d think of the slightly less shitty times.

                Well, his legacy is about regretting a mistake for not standing up for others even if he doesn’t like them. I don’t think that’s a legacy of doing good even if it’s a good legacy. I think he has the legacy he deserves; being known for failing to do what’s right even when others died doing so.

                  You have a very good point. Not even remotely remorseful for being motivated by blind hatred, but able to at least consider the babies of a basic ethical framework based solely on pragmatism.

      That’s why I’m speaking out for these political prisoners in El Salvador. If they are criminals, then kick them out, but there has to be due process. This is AMERICA, everybody gets their day in court.

          I meant violent criminals, but I get your point, and agree. Especially without due process, and HitlerPig claiming to be the sole arbiter of what is the law, anyone could be deemed a terrorist at any time. My post history will certainly get me designated as a terrorist.
