I don’t agree with sending violent American citizens to El Salvador. Some may like that idea, but it would cost the American taxpayer more money to send them to El Salvador than to house them here because we have to pay El Salvador to house these people. They’re not doing this for free not to mention why would anybody want to send somebody somewhere where you know that they have no human right? These people are treated like they were in a concentration camp, they are starved they are beaten. Trump is the new Hitler. He’s becoming more emboldened by the day. His cruelty grows by the hour. I fear for all of us.

Thanks for reading and commenting. There are American prisons for the worst of the worst like ADX Florence which has a horrible reputation. We have a president who has assembled a cadre of people who enjoy being able to not only exercise power (typical in politics and business) but to use that power to hurt others. This is called sadism. You can put their faces on this illiustration for sadistic personality disorder from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadistic_personality_disorder#/media/File:A_sadistic_tooth-drawer_using_a_cord_to_extract_a_tooth_from_Wellcome_V0012039.jpg

"Major, heinous crimes." And just who determines what those crimes are?

The system has worked, albeit imperfectly, thoughout our history. I wrote about it in "This should be common sense, but apparently someone may need a Georgetown Law School professor to to explain it." LINK https://halbrown.substack.com/p/this-should-be-common-sense-but-apparently The DA and a grand jury decides what crime to charge, not whether or not a person committed those crimes, and a jury decides guilt or innocence.

Hey, I think it's a great idea to send habitual American criminals to El Salvador prisons: WHEN CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO TRUMP AND COMPANY GOING? 😏
