If you support this, you would have supported Hitler.

Dr. Kevin M. Young @kevinmyoung
The United States is now openly using Concentration Camps.

Let that sink in. If you support this, you would have supported Hitler.

1. It's time for the civilized world to embargo El Salvador as the concentration-camp-using pariah nation that it is...

& time for the ICC & The Hague to issue indictments against every one of that hostage-taking nation's so-called "leaders".

7. Putin is confined to Russia because of indightment on war crimes

Being confined to El Salvadore might not be Bukele's preference. Especially if he wants to flee some day if the people rise up against their democracy being made into a dictatorship.

13. I don't know if the ICC or the Hague, either one, could do anything

that would affect any change. But a global embargo? I LIKE that idea. And it has more teeth to it than a court case that'll be tossed aside and ignored, as trump does. In fact, a global embargo against us might give us a different edge in this fight. Want to declare tariffs? Want every country in the whole world to follow your racist, misogynistic, hateful edicts? Forget it. We won't sell you anything, nor will buy anything from you. We don't need you, trump. You're on your own, as you desired.

trump wants isolationism. It'll hurt the country like hell, but maybe it's better all at once than to rip the bandaid off little bit by little bit. He's Herbert Hoover reincarnated and as dumb about economic forces as he was the first time he held the office. Hooverville dioramas should be put up all over the white house lawn...or the peoples park across the street. With the signage of Hooverville=Trumistanville.

Chump is doing this deal with El Salvador because he thinks the world will never know what's really going on there.

Trump told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Nazis built many of their concentration camps outside the country.

6. The Nazi camps were at least in occupied territory

Trump is trying to put camps where he can claim he has no jurisdiction or responsibility. He is involving foreign powers who must be complicit to make this happen.

These countries then need to be held accountable to the world. The Hague getting involved is a start.

From both dems and reps than American citizens get when we are trying to feed ourselves

So it doesn’t seem to be hurting them, unless you believe in their souls being damned

that has led to the current situation.

Yes, the US has let them get away with far too much. I'm not defending Biden on that and Trump, of course, doesn't even count.

I know the US doesnt recognize its authority but teh rest of the world does (minus israel and russia)
make it so any US officials involved with moving people to the concentration camps cant leave teh US without risking arrest.
