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.
So yeah if that’s the case then we need to seriously explore ways to remove him from office
Removal of Trumps entire regime should be the core demand of the protests, instead of that milquetoast “Hands off” BS
That time came a long time ago.
Absolutely and it’s just getting more and more urgent
Well, certainly we can count on the republicans to vote to impeach and convict once they see him disregard the constitution.
Why would they impeach him for something the Republicans on the Supreme Court will declare perfectly legal?
It’s illegal for you to make such statements!
I think we’ll need to perform a Citizens Impeachment…

Well, they didn’t say that. They did say we need to kill tyrants, but the second amendment is not part of that. It’s about defending the state, as militias were the standard military of the time, not standing professional armies like it is now.
This goldigging whore.
Can we not criticize fascism by jumping to unreconstructed misogyny please
These idiots don’t get that they’re part of the problem
Eh? Whore is pretty ungendered.
Tbh is pretty accurate. My only wish is we had some good equivalent term for males, because the Republican party is chock-full of male goldigging whores
I just don’t think this lady’s hypothetical sexual promiscuity is the main problem here you know? This shouldn’t be controversial.
The problem is the fascism- detaining and deporting people for being the wrong color and stirring up hate against them.
From the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore
3. a mercenary or unscrupulous person : a person who is willing to compromise their integrity or principles for personal gain or in pursuit of something
I think you might be the only person who read the comment, and immediately think about the sexual meaning of this.
What I agree with you though, it that the term is mostly applied to women, hence why I was looking for a term that can be applied easily to men such as Ted Cruz (the master whore), or McConnell. Plenty of whoring in the Republican party males.
Its quite upsetting that when this behavior is done by males, we always try to find other slurs (sleazy etc), and when a woman do it, this one always comes out first. It should be applied equally. But that said, again, its the perfect description for what she is doing atm.
I’m truly shocked that they said that, and that it was upvoted.
You are weak. This is why this country is failing
Bro, what alpha male bullshit are you spouting off about, we need more sensitive people like this in positions of power, do you think what’s going on right now is working and is a good thing with society, Seriously I’m asking you a question
I don’t feel a need to be polite to MAGA Traitors. She IS a goldigging whore, and I stand by it. The fact there are upvotes shows that many agree.
If you want your country back, grow up and get with the program. These jackals are evil, and deserve no respect or mercy for any reason. Direct your feminist outrage toward the people who are actively, enthusiastically trying to create an American Taliban, and returning womens’ rights to the Middle Ages, not people like me who are resisting it.
You can be impolite while pointing to their actual bad behavior, like the black bagging and deportation and dismantling the administrative state and whatnot. Not their supposed sexual promiscuity. Bit hard to believe how I have to keep explaining this
Or, I can do all you suggested, and ALSO dehumanize them with humiliating names. Republicans do it routinely, because it works, and under the present circumstances, the Resistance shouldn’t waste a single weapon at our disposal. Propaganda is a powerful weapon, and its one that we can, and should, wield ruthlessly. They certainly do, and they deserve to get it right back.
You remember the Michelle Obama doctrine - When they go low, we go high? That’s what got us into this mess. I’m long tired of being nice, or polite, especially to traitors and Nazis.
I’m trying to save your freedom, so get with the program or get out of the way.
Whaaaaat…?
I love how they just casually admit that they’re “exploring ways” to break the law.
aw man…everyday i go like: sure them muricans cant come up and even do stupider shit today. yesterday was so stupid…seriously no chance for stupider shit.
but then…dang…again they did it. not only the orange guy…most of them. schumer, fetterman, cruz…they all have tapped into the only infinite resource. may idiocracy prevail,right?
Look on the bright side, now they can finally get rid of the Orange felon and Muskrat by deporting them to El Salvador! There is no greater threat to US security than them. Right?
Nah. He just got shutdown 9/9 by the Supreme court. It’s amazing that the Trump nutsucker C Thomas voted against his cult leader Trump … but there it is. Everyone gets due process.
You gotta source? Any hope I always question in these times…
Any hope I always question in these times
this is the way
source??? pleeease let there be a source…
What’d I miss?
Do you think they’ll actually abide? I don’t.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/08/politics/due-process-supreme-court-alien-enemies-act/index.html
That doesn’t sound like like a 9/9 slam dunk shutdown. It’s a 5/4 vote to remind the administration they need some fig leaf of due process. The article goes over all the ways that this isn’t really a check on the unconstitutional deportations.
Does anyone still think America isn’t a dictatorship?

They aren’t going to declare or cancel anything. They’ll just do stuff and delay indefinitely.
Maybe for trans people they would get asylum, since many countries have issued travel warnings to trans people from outside the US about traveling to the US.
Unfortunately, they’ve made getting a passport prohibitively difficult for trans folks who have already changed their gender markers so even if countries were accepting trans asylum seekers (most aren’t) getting to and across the border has excess difficulties beyond convincing another country that your life and liberty are threatened.
Plus, by the time countries do start accepting asylum seekers it’ll be too late, boarder patrol will be detaining people before they’ll have a chance to cross.
I’ve read some comments from trans people that because blue states exist, they aren’t considered in danger when it comes to asylum.
Pretty sure Canada has been using that as reason for denials. Most of the orgs I’ve looked at don’t help trans people in the US for that reason too.
I’ll take blue state gladly, but even that’s a difficult prospect. The economics of being a despised minority which it is legal to fire, evict, (or DV lol) are very difficult - I would probably be homeless if I wasn’t very fucking good at math.
But also - anti trans movements and fascism in general are on the rise globally. There aren’t quite that many safe places to run to.
One aspect of being a gender/sexual minority versus someone being oppressed along the aspects of race, nationality status, or religion tends to be that we don’t usually have the same kinds of familial support. If I were a POC, my family and friends would probably understand my fears, validate them, and perhaps support me. Gay and trans people are born to straight and cis parents, and it’s impossible to have to explain “yes, I am currently doing sex work because my boss looked at my drivers license and decided that I shouldn’t have a job anymore.”
Moving to a new place requires support networks and communities that trans people don’t usually have.
Easy deport them to US

It is really simple. You put a swastika on your flag, blow an important empty building and you say the country is in an emergency, transfering all powers to White House.

everyone acting like he wants to deport everyone who disagrees with him, as if that’s what was said even though it wasn’t
Honestly, according the video in the article, all she said Trump has talked about was the possibility of deporting repeat violent criminals. What I don’t get, is why do you have to deport them? Can’t you just keep them in prison?
Because once outside the US, the Republican position is that they no longer have recourse to the courts. So you can hustle somebody to El Salvador really fast, and then there is nothing they can do about it.
Whereas if you put people through the usual trial process and keep them in a US prison, they can later be freed as innocent.
Ah, that makes sense.
But, it sounds like he’s only talking about the worst of the worst. So then I assume it wouldn’t be hard to keep them in prison. Whatever, if those types are going free (which I have heard of happening), then there are other issues that should be dealt with.
removed extra word
Actually no. The worst of the worst stay in the US. The people they are deporting to El Salvador are mostly non-criminals or petty criminals. The actual violent criminals (the ones that are harder to control) do not make for good slaves and are kept in whatever prison they are already in.
So basically, point at person you don’t like (like minorities) and say “You did a crime! To El Salvador with you!” and they’re gone forever regardless of innocence. Great times.
Don’t worry guys! He only wants to deport the worst criminals! You know, like the enemies of the people. Now, who was it that he call the enemy of the people, again…?
I did not have “The Nazi’s will outsource their gulags to El Salvador” on my fascism 2025 bingo card… I need to get more creative, or possibly criminally insane.
This generation of leadership outsources and offshores things like it’s a bodily function.
It’s darkly hilarious that the red states won’t even get the tiny local economic boost provided by having the concentration camps in their areas.
Who would have even thought outsourcing would go this far?
Its only until our own black site at Guantanamo has completed their new 30,000 prisoner facility. Then we can torture and execute dissidents ourselves, outside if the view of the media and courts.
I mean, Cuba isn’t really that different practically from El Salvador, when it comes to offshore concentration camps
Except that its ours, and that way our MAGAs get to have the fun of torturing and murdering Liberals.
Rapists, gang members, democrats, red haired people, wokists… You know. The enemy!
Poor people
Then finally the non-loyalists
I keep my wok hidden away in a secret room in the attic where they’ll never find it and make stir fry in a good old fashioned American manufactured skillet like our good lord and orange savior intended. You’ll never brand me a wokist
Everyone is a enemy combatant in the War on Flavor
First they came for the students protesting the genocide and to divest from Israel… and we said FUCK THOSE PROTESTORS!
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 LGBTQ+ people and scientists studying controversial subject matter, but the guy who wrote the poem was a conservative Catholic priest, so he didn’t mind.
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.
That makes it a better poem in retrospect, imo. It demonstrates its own moral
Man, can you imagine hating on your deathbed? I’d think of the slightly less shitty times.
A piece of garbage that has a far better legacy than he deserves.
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.
If they are criminals?? Brother we are all gonna be criminals soon
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.
He already did and a judge ruled that he had to be brought back
And hasn’t been, last I checked. The excuse provided will infuriate you even more.
Can’t wait to find out if I’ve been vocal enough to be selected as a concentration camp candidate!
At least we’ll all have company…
Official lemmy meetup 2025!!!
I got permabanned from Reddit in the February Bloodbath, after 12 years and over 900K karma. They have obviously reviewed my post history, and are aware of my radical anti-MAGA opinions. I’m on their radar, and sooner or later they’ll come knocking.
I got temp banned for saying awful shit to Republicans and I probably deserved it but later ones were for complete bullshit
Surprisingly I didnt get banned (I have a similar post history), what did you do ? Any idea ?
I am a life-long Unafilliated Independent, and have been loudly and radically anti-MAGA, and anti-HitlerPig from the start. I have talked often about him going to prison, or worse (too much to ask probably, as much as he deserves it), along with all the rest of his jackals.
I regularly post that he is the most prolific traitor in American history, worse than ALL previous American traitors COMBINED.
Yeah, those dirty snowflakes can’t stand it when someone talks about them the way they talk about everyone else.
i think they are getting around to banning dissenting opinion, but they will eventually move on to everyone.
They have to create some vague laws that nearly anyone could run afoul of, so they can pick and choose who to oppress. Basically, we’ll all be criminals, and they can detain the ones that they hate the most.
Well said that man ! I certainly agree with all your points and have said similar things but reading between the lines I suspect I was a little less, umm, forceful about it 😁 I’ve been banned from a few subreddits but not an outright ban yet
Yeah, those dirty snowflakes can’t stand it when someone talks about them the way they talk about everyone else.
Absolutely true
I tried to keep it cool on Reddit, but then those Traitors would do something else evil, and I’d get worked up and start called for guillotines.
I was also extremely supportive of Luigi, calling the CEO a Corporate Serial Killer for Profit, and encouraging any jurors to understand that since they can’t see his face in the video, they can claim reasonable doubt. Now they are banning people.just for upvoting pro-Luigi posts.
Yeah, the MAGAs and Sociopathic Oligarchs don’t like loudmouths like me, and Reddit is now MAGA, operated by a Sociopathic Oligarch. I am pleased by their hatred for me. I love MAGA tears.
2nd amendment doesn’t just apply for Nazis.
Even if it did, not currently an obstacle.
So far…
Right. Y’all have until April 20 before the gun owners become the underdogs to the military within America.
Howd Afghanistan turn out?
What happens on the 20th?
It’s rumored that Trump will declare martial law that day.
Why?
This article sums it up
I have near-zero confidence that this, with an apparent deadline of April 20:
One of Trump’s first executive orders, signed the evening he took office on January 20, was titled, “Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States.” In the order, he said “America’s sovereignty is under attack,” due to border crossings and declared a national emergency at the southern border.
Under Section 6 of the order, Trump directs Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noemto submit a joint report on the border, including recommendations for actions that “may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border.”
would not expand to broader use than at the border. Especially if protests continue or even Tesla kisses.
I don’t think Trump likes April 20th for the same reason most of us do…
maga like it
