This is an amazing story of incompetence and graft at 60 Minutes.
BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See by Yashar Ali @ The Reset.
Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.
Yesterday, CBS News pulled a story titled “Inside CECOT” just hours before it was set to air.
The report examined the Trump administration’s controversial deportation of more than 250 people — most of them Venezuelan nationals — to CECOT, a sprawling prison in El Salvador where detainees were held under severe conditions. The segment featured interviews with deportees who described brutal treatment and alleged abuse inside the facility.
The decision to pull the story was made by CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss, and it triggered a firestorm within the network and, subsequently, in the public. Here’s some info on the controversy and when I update this story shortly, I will link to additional reporting, but I wanted to publish this video immediately as a version of it was taken down on YouTube.
It turns out that the network delivered the segment to Canada’s Global TV app (it has since been pulled).
As I understand it, this is only part of the overall story, but this 13-minute-long video— sent to me by a source —is what exists.

Reader Comment to Reset News
One of the things I just don’t get is how CBS or 60 minutes will ever regain their credibility. The entire reason that 60 minutes exists used to be that it was willing to speak truth to power. Now that it has shown itself too cowardly to do so, it serves absolutely no purpose. I’m sure CBS, just like the Washington Post, will continue to do some good work. But they have shredded all the trust the 60 minutes viewer ever had. Network news has been in sharp decline and I used to care. Now it’s good riddance, and to hell with you.
I am going to make a donation to Yashar Ali.
Inside Bari Weiss’s Decision to Pull a ‘60 Minutes’ Segment
For more background on what happened, the Wall Street Journal fills in some pieces with its post Inside Bari Weiss’s Decision to Pull a ‘60 Minutes’ Segment
CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss had a tough message for the executive producer of “60 Minutes” on Saturday: She had decided to hold a segment that was set to run the next day.
The story focused on a maximum-security prison in El Salvador where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants, including alleged gang members. Weiss said the piece would be better served by further attempts at interviews and another voice in it, according to a transcript of executive producer Tanya Simon’s Monday meeting with “60 Minutes” staff where she recounted the events.
“It was not a ‘let’s talk about this’ kind of thing,” Simon told staff. She also said she had a good relationship with Weiss, according to the transcript, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
CBS News had sought—and received—responses from the Department of Homeland Security, the White House and the State Department, according to people familiar with the matter. The segment, which was available to some viewers in Canada and seen by the Journal, didn’t include the fresh comments those agencies provided.
Sharyn Alfonsi, the correspondent on the piece, called the editor in chief’s decision political in a weekend email to colleagues.
“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct,” Alfonsi wrote to a group of colleagues including Anderson Cooper and Lesley Stahl.
CBS advertised “INSIDE CECOT” on Friday, teasing Alfonsi’s interviews with some of the deported migrants who had since been released from the megaprison and described harsh conditions.
Weiss said in the email that it was important to make “every effort” to get “the principals” on the record and on camera and that she’d shared phone numbers for Stephen Miller and Tom Homan.
Alfonsi took issue with those requests in her email. “If the standard for airing a story becomes ‘the government must agree to be interviewed,’ then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state,” the correspondent wrote.
CBS’s “60 Minutes” has been a popular target of Trump’s ire.
Over the summer—before federal regulators approved the merger between Paramount Global and Ellison’s Skydance Media—Paramount agreed to pay $16 million to settle a 2024 lawsuit in which Trump accused the network of deceitfully editing then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s “60 Minutes” interview.
On Friday, Trump said at a rally in North Carolina that while “I love the new owners of CBS,” he was unhappy with “60 Minutes.”

Sharyn Alfonsi’s Email to 60 Minutes
Oops An Accident
For some reason this won’t embed: https://x.com/David_J_Bier/status/2003291409802260727?s=20
“The canceled 60 Minutes report included an interview with a man who entered legally and never violated any laws but was nonetheless rendered to El Salvador for torture without due process. No wonder they canceled it.”
This administration is corrupt, disgusting, and immoral from head to toe. Trump is not fighting the deep state, he is the deep state.
“I tend to discount their stories as it’s all hearsay at this point and there is no photographic evidence of the alleged abuse. Were they completely recovered when they returned to Venezuela? Would it not have made sense to photograph evidence of the mistreatment???”
I see someone wearing TWS and MAGA hats.
If Trump pissed in your own face and said he didn’t, you would believe Trump.
If 60 Minutes lied to your face and said they didn’t, you would believe 60 Minutes.
Not well-reported,
“The more than 200 Venezuelan migrants who were deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador’s mega-prison in March have left El Salvador to be sent to Venezuela as part of a prisoner swap that included (ten) Americans being held in Venezuela,”
Have you ever been inside a maximum security prison? See, I have.
Because of that, I take what is said with the proverbial ‘grain of salt.’
When I hear… “I was just a poor student who wanted to blah blah blah,” this is exactly what I would expect to hear. The feeble reporter was disgraceful. Soft questions get spongy answers. How many did she confront with the facts of their US crime spree? Eg. Is it true you buggered a nine-year-old boy? No way will 60Mins ask that question of a prisoner.
How many max security prisoners are guilty? None, apparently. I’ve met one–in the maximum security section of a maximum security prison. He is kept in solitary, with no human contact, and no outside time. Sounds cruel, doesn’t it. He escaped twice, killed two guards, went home and beheaded his parents. He also fabricated a working pistol and several knifes while incarcerated.
So, the IMPORTANT question. Did Venezuela want them back? Because that’s important.
Admittedly, my experience is sparse. However, I know enough to recognize BRAIN-WASHING by the media.
Now that more information has come out are you going to retract/fix this post?
60 Minutes wanted to run a story about Group X (the White House), without including comment from Group X. It was an unethical violation of basic journalistic standards of the variety outlined by Bill Moyers.
But so much of the media has been operating without these traditional guidelines, for so long, it seems shocking when someone actually enforces those standards rather than engaging in partisan scorekeeping and gotcha journalism.
Mish is completely missing the larger context here, and doesn’t even mention why the 60 Minutes segment was postponed.
This has nothing to do with Trump. Zero. It has everything to do with 60 Minutes dropping the ball, again.
Really, this is what you are going with? So, in your mind, a journalist cannot run a well-researched, well-sourced story about decisions coming out of the inner circle of the Executive Branch of government unless someone from that inner circle agrees to be interviewed? Maybe someone should have told Woodward and Bernstein this in the early 70s?
You wouldn’t know ‘research’ if it hit you in the face!
I’ve had indirect exposure to 60 mins. It was known as the Cincinnati Bell Wiretap Case. BTW, I was in court when the Federal Ct judge turned to the wire-tapper and said: “Mr Gates, to this time, by my calculation, you have perjured yourself 83 times…”
60 Minutes believed every word from Mr. Gates.
MAGA & Nazis don’t like this post much, got em all fired up
Ugly to see how many so-called Americans don’t understand the first thing about due process and the law.
Our laws and procedures exist to protect all of us. By the time those morons figure it out through lived experience, it will be too late. It’s always these idiots cheering it on until they’re crying about it when it happens to them.
They’re pigs worshipping a pig god.
Ugly to see how Mish doesn’t understand the first thing about journalistic standards and why 60 minutes postponed this story.
You in particular but all of you liberal democrats have to make everyone that even agrees with Trump on 1 issue an extremist because you need to take away from the disaster, clown show, criminal and anti American and anti white policies your democratic party has implemented.
But hey Phil, you probably live on one of those CT towns I mentioned that insulates you from all the dump stupid and dangerous shit the democratic party has been doing to this country for the last 17 years so carry on virtue signalling from your lily white neighborhood because you think you will be insulated from all this chaos.
Happy Holidays. Happy Hanukkah & Merry Christmas to you & yours
You are either on the side of following the Constitution and the laws on the books, or you are not. It is not that hard to understand. You seem to be saying, without actually coming out and saying it, that you actually had no problem with Donald Trump opening the door to terminating the Constitution with his 2022 statement about the “fraud” that took place in the 2020 election where he suggested that he supported “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution“. This is further proof that Donald Trump operates in a world of his own making where the ends justify all means. I contend, with excellent historical backing, that an ends-justify-the-means approach to leadership is precisely the opposite of what the Constitution stands for and what our founders envisioned for the nation.
I heard the BS about collusion from you clowns for 4 years with the sanctimonious attitude to be proven wrong. It was a Clinton hoax and you fell for it hook line and sinker. I never voted for Trump in a primary but I finally did this last time because I just got sick of the exposed lies and lawfare by the establishment left.
Is this the same due process you applied to the release of the Epstein files?
“Our laws and procedures exist to protect all of us.”
Tell that to the old woman who was hit in the eye by a ‘nice gentlemen’ using a piece of wood with a screw out the end. That was a few days ago, but not reported on most mass media, or here. His arrest record speaks for itself. And the cops on the scene–well the LIBERAL courts have tied their hands.
Let’s hope that a similar ‘nice gentleman’ does the same to you? Since you clearly think it was acceptable behavior, not worth reporting, until someone LEAKED the truth.
On a local level.
BACK THE BLUE
UNTIL THEY DO YOU
the wonderful results for the people of El Salvador delivered by incarcerating any tattooed gang member is amazing—no more murder theft threats etc. The people are safe now and enjoying life.. Wish we could do the same where 14% of population commits 55% of the crime. But the lawyer class in the USA love crime and chaos
If you come to the US illegally then you are subject to whatever treatment the government wants to dish out. Note to Illegals: The US doesn’t want you. Go Home. They are offering $$ to self-deport.
Sorry to inform you, but even if you enter the U.S. illegally, you are protected by the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the laws and justice system of the U.S.
I don’t see Bari Weiss’s decision as political at all. She is trying to get the news division to be a news division and not a partisan (not credible) source. In the old days 60min would tell the story and get both sides. You felt like you got the full picture. The fact that they did not want to get the other side of the argument shows that it was an unbalanced hit piece. Bari wants the public to trust CBS news so she had to pull the story. Is she the only journalist left?
Are you nuts? She’s a fucking Zionist propaganda plant installed by her Israeli handlers after Uber fucking Zionist Larry Ellison bought CBS. If he succeeds in buying Warner Bros/Discovery I’ll save some money by cancelling another subscription.
they tried to get both sides and the admin refused.
obviously it’s bad precedent to not run a story when the admin refuses to comment– if the admin can spike stories simply by not commenting, it will do that on every story it doesn’t like.
two hundred illegals were sent to cecot???? uh, where’s the story here???????
What is an “illegal”? Were the Jewish, Slavic, and African people fleeing Nazi-controlled areas of Europe “illegals”? Were the men, women, and children fleeing war-torn Iraq and Syria to the safety of Europe “illegals”? I am not saying that I don’t want everyone who wants to immigrate to the United States for work and a better life to come here through official ports of entry, but we all know that that process is antiquated and broken. We have more demand for immigrant workers and an ample supply. Let’s fix the system and make it easier, quicker, and more efficient for those who come here to work and build a better life.
Exactly. But that is not what the democrats are doing. Why dont you speak to your local congressman about that.
Not what the republican congressmen are doing either. besides being silent. . Trumps doing all this on exc order. They dont want it fixed because businesses want the cheap labor and the representatives want something rally votes around.
For thirty years all ive heard is abortion/ guns/ immigration/ gay etc. its a distraction from the real issues.
I don’t know how old you are or how closely that you have been paying attention to the political battle of immigration reform before the age of Donald Trump, but if you were paying attention you would know that the Democrats have been trying to get the Republicans to work with them on comprehensive immigration reform, including border security for the last 30 years and each time they have gotten close to moving forward on such a bill the Republicans have killed it.
until the Biden Administration or whomever the hell was running the country then decided to do an end around our Congress and work together with the UN and circumvent every border policy in place for 4 years.
I have a question. Just goggle it, Utube videos of Obama and Hillary 17 years ago saying illegal aliens should be conviced and deported . You can find 1 in a 10 sec google search
So why did they change? Bribery thats what.
People here seem to have missed that part and skipped to Trump is
running a family criminal enterprise. Hell The Biden family beat him to it but hey carry on protecting the Democratic party
You may be able to find edited statements that appear to support what you are contending that Obama and Hillary have said on the issue, but when I asked AI to find such statements, here is what I got:
Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has specifically used the phrase “illegal aliens should be convicted and deported” as a general policy for all undocumented immigrants. Both have supported deporting individuals who have been convicted of serious crimes, such as violent felonies or terrorism, but they have generally advocated for a pathway to citizenship or legal status for the majority of undocumented immigrants who are law-abiding and integrated into their communities.
Barack Obama’s Stance
Hillary Clinton’s Stance
So those Democrats 17 years ago are saying exactly what a lot of Americans and anyone other than a democrat is saying today.
They got bribed thats what changed. You see the Clinton Foundation was a fraud, it was not some right wing conspiracy theory. It was pay to play. Funny how once Hillary lost that foundation went away isn’t it? Every time a Democrat gets caught its always a right wing nazi conspiracy.
And the Biden crime family, oh good Lord. But no, thats never talked about either. But hey, get rid of Trump and problem solved right?
The Democratic party today should be required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act(FARA)
You are showing yourself to be very easily gaslit. No corruption or fraud was uncovered within the Clinton Foundation, and it is still operating, as you can see below. There is no Biden crime family. Other then Hunter’s personal failings and his related bad decisions, there has been no corruption uncovered involving Joe Biden.

>What is an “illegal”?
Anyone who violates the various US Codes against illegally immigrating into the USA.
>Were the Jewish, Slavic, and African people fleeing Nazi-controlled areas of Europe “illegals”?
yes, if they entered any given nation in violation of immigration law.
>Were the men, women, and children fleeing war-torn Iraq and Syria to the safety of Europe “illegals”? I
yes, if they entered any given nation in violation of immigrant law.
Let’s stop treating all immigrants as if they’re refugees who magically deserve carte blanche.
Do you know any actual immigrants? People who came to the USA through proper legal process are furious about those who enter illegally.
I know many immigrants, those who came here through the long and drawn-out process, those who came here from Cuba and Russia 30 or more years ago. I also know immigrants who came here from Asia by stowing away in cargo containers. All of the ones that I know work hard, several have started their own business, and many have successful, college-educated children.
I first came to the US 48 years ago for graduate study, legally. I returned, legally, 45 years ago, but only after intervention by the US Speaker of the House, Tip O’Neill, and a letter of approval from my government. On my several visits to the US Consulate, there were always dozens of people waiting in line to get immigration visas.
Personally, I resent people who skip the line, whose first act is to violate the laws of the USA by entering illegally, or who use political asylum as the excuse for economic migration. Most come to take advantage of the US.
Over the years, I’ve known other migrants. All have brought unique /valuable skills to the US. Some experienced great difficulty in leaving their home country, including swimming rivers with a baby, worrying about him crying when they passed border controls and Soviet guards. Most were not allowed to enter the US and had to go via admission to England or Canada, and then get work permits in the US.
well the illegal immigratns coming in now are almost all migrants, not legit refugees unlike those fleeing the Nazis.
they are coming here because their countries suck, not because they are being persecuted for their ethnicity. most illegal immigrants are from central and south America and aren’t real refugees. gangs and high crime rate isn’t a basis for asylum, nor should it be.
even for actual refugees we need a limit. there’s too many war and conflct zones in the world, and we should have a system, not what the Dems had where anyne can come in with caravans.
From a marketing branding perspective, 60 Minutes has been a train wreck for decades. The show should have been canned in the early 2000s, but like most things in media, trust eroded and it became a bigger and bigger joke.
It’s a damaged brand and should be shuttered.
Mike, update to your analysis.
Trump just stated on X all illegals convicted or charged pending court hearings for the offenses of rape, sodomy, larceny, assault, weapons possession, child abuse, pedophilia and domestic violence will now be moved into hotels and free to roam at the following locations:
CT-Wesport, Southport, Darien, Greenwich & New Canaan
NY- Scarsdale, Rye, Bronxville, Bedford & Chappaqua
NJ-Short Hills, Saddle River, Alpine
MA- Wellesley,Lexington, Sherborn, Boston, Nantucket & Cape Cod
VT- Stratton Mountain,Shelburne, Dorset
VA- Great Falls, McClean, Upperville
CO- Aspen, Columbine Valley ,Cherry Hills Village
MN- Sunfish Lake, Minnetonk Beach
Maine- Cape Elizabeth, Cumberland
CA- Palo Alto, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach
Other states are pending
The real surprise is Chappaqua. Oh wait, isn’t that where the real pedo is?
So all you downvoters can relax now, they are not going to a foreign prison system
Why were the statements from Homeland Security excluded from the report? It is this one-sided reporting that Bari Weiss complained about. Incomplete reporting is not journalism; it is propaganda, and CBS wants it to stop.
“Why were the statements from Homeland Security excluded from the report?”
Maybe because the statements from “Homeland Security” were BS. Should news coverage report outright lies and BS?
I know so far that (correct me if I’m wrong):
— They were given the opportunity (and ample time) to deport themselves back to Venezuela before they were captured.
— The specific ones were either gang members or misc. criminals. About half a million have been deported, yet only a couple of hundred were sent to El Salvador.
—-
Why is the magnifying glass of many journalists on them, instead of ordinary citizens been unfairly treated? The latter are too boring and you guys need more drama?
Exactly. They are making this out to be every illegal person that has no other or minor offenses and some not yet convicted are going to an El Salvador prison. Not true.
But they gotta virtue signal anyway. After all, all liberals and democrats are morally superior to the rest of us and just because they think so
Also, The author of the story is the same person whose false accusation of pay to play relationship betwen Publix & Florida Governor Ron DeSantis blew up in the networks face. Not to mention losing the Kamala Harris doctoring of the tape.
The National Inquirer states and prints more truth than 60 minutes or CBS combined
After that debacle, why is the author still employed?
Because Democrats can do no wrong, dont you know?
Remember one of the greatest Americans in the history of this country, a proud white man, a proud Jewish man once said;
” Its not a lie, if you believe it.”
Don’t forget, Venezuela did not want them back after they released them from their own prisons to go to America.
Releasing prisoners and sending them to other countries (when your economy can’t support them) was witnessed by my fellow border soldiers since 1988. Albania was releasing all its prisoners and they were the only ones allowed to exit the country (through openings in fences) and “escape” to Greece. We were authorized to shoot them if they wouldn’t stop to our commands. This was standard practice in European countries bordering communist countries. None was shot because not the entire borderline was guarded, but afterwards, border towns, especially in the Ionian islands, saw them coming as some sort of refugees by boats or even ordinary passenger ships from the mainland. That was before the NGOs had turned into human trafficking operations. Violent crime went from practically zero to staggering numbers almost overnight.
Americans have no experience with this “open the jails and release them” practice, they politicize it wrongly, and then suffer the consequences which mainstream media ignores as not being “sexy” enough for views and clicks, and definitely not appropriate for advertisers.
We need border guards a lot tougher than the current ones, straight out of cold war era practices.
“One of the things I just don’t get is how CBS or 60 minutes will ever regain their credibility. The entire reason that 60 minutes exists used to be that it was willing to speak truth to power.”
I stopped watching 60 Minutes a long time ago. As Mika said on MSNBC, they were supposed to tell us what to think. Someone at the Wallstreet Journal said in a recent confab that they “used to be the gate keepers.” Gate keepers control what we see and hear.
I saw a youtube of a 60 minutes segment on the problematic Swine Flu vaccine decades ago. The media have been covering up the truth about the Covid shots. So much for 60 Minutes speaking truth to power. Sponsored by Pfizer.
don’t forget about the murder wasps and atmospheric rivers. Mass media has mutated into Alex Jones/Candace Owens level conspiracy nonsense.
As one of the greatest Americans in the history of this country said, remember, its not a lie, if you believe it.
That sums up 60 minutes, CBS and the Democratic party in this country for the last 25 years
The grift of this administration is off the charts. There’s never been anything like it. Monetarilly, a 1000x worse than anything before. Who’s going to be able to do any in-depth reporting on that?
Apparently you were asleep during Bidens Vice Presidency and then the infamous Auto Pen years where Hunter just yesterday said it was not his laptop and the 1 million hunter Biden was paid for his expertise in oil refineries for 5 years had nothing to do with his daddys position

Don’t even get me started on meme coins…
Hey I do agree with you on all the Trump meme coins.
Brutal conditions of confinement. Difficult to watch the video. I support enforcement of immigration laws, but I do not want immigrants and illegal aliens sent to hell holes unless they are from El Salvador with convictions of violent crimes in El Salvador.
lol, you trust anything cbs says? Until that place is cleaned out, it’s reputation remains in tatters.
WCBS folding like a cheap tent bending for Donny the dictator! Question why is anyone surprised that Donny is a failure. Surprising a failed casino operator is failing at running the federal government.
On a positive note Mike keep up your writing and standing up to these crooks who are stealing our money and abusing human rights
Thank you for this link!
After watching the video, my main question is – who paid for this very large, modern facility? El Salvador?
The electric bill alone would bankrupt most third-world countries.
60 Minutes should have lost all their credibility about 45 years ago when they did an “expose” of the Illinois Power Company nuclear reactor facility in Clinton, Illinois. Little did 60 Minutes know that Illinois Power filmed 60 Minutes original take, then compared it to the chop and delete which 60 Minutes presented as the meeting / tour.
Squeal piggie!
Breaking News: Trump administration to begin garnishing wages Jan 2026 for student loans. I’m sure that will go great with exploding health care insurance premiums.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/23/student-loan-borrowers-wage-garnishment.html
Got PUTS?
Thank you for the investment advice. Don’t forget the disclaimer.
Now, is it ok that those that did not abide by their contractual agreement to be forced to make restitution?
Or is because the Trump Administration is doing it there is something wrong with it?
This is EXCELLENT news! Finally accountability. If you take out a loan then you are required to pay it back. I’m also glad this will hurt these peoples credit. Hope they have a hard time getting a mortgage, car loan, credit card or rent an apartment. I’m tired of people taking advantage of tax payers. Hope they all learn a lesson.
In general, if an American takes out a loan from the government, and they, for whatever reason, don’t have the money to pay it back, they don’t have to pay it back. It can be discharged.
You can’t file bankruptcy on student loans.
Biden did them no service. Far better would have been to encourage repayment by crediting every dollar repaid at $1.25
Just days after Trump said he wanted 25% GDP numbers, we get 4.9%
Amazing!!
Begs the question, if GDP is so amazing, why is the central bank cutting rates?
And are you guys banking coin from this amazing GDP? I guess the golden age is here! /s
We’ve reached the point where you literally can’t trust anything from this government so the fleecing will be real and massive.
and that is something new? That has been going on for at least 30 years now, But I get it I get it, everything is Trumps fault
Booo hoo hoo.
LOL. Coming from you , poster child for TDS .
Are you the PEDO?
up your dosage on those gummies.
Maybe the pig lies…
“Begs the question, if GDP is so amazing, why is the central bank cutting rates?”
If they dont cut rates the GDP wont be amazing!
Gosh!
Tren de Aragua….scary
Crime families, too
Almost like the Mafia from Sicily
Wonder why we didn’t just deport and disappear all Italians and send them to prisons in Burundi
The Salvadoran prison is obviously an important story, but the bigger one is why Israel had its agent – Weiss – kill the story. Probably simply at the direction of the Trump administration. You ignore our crimes and we’ll ignore yours.
you are going to make this an Israeli & Jewish issue?
It’s all they have. jooooooooos.
Everything Bari Weiss says and does is about Israel. That’s why she – an obvious midwit – was installed at CBS.
it takes a special kind of moron to not look up a website, verify a claim before making it and then say it anyway even though it’s easily disproven.
Seriously, are you illiterate?
Exactly! Israel claims Venezuela is some kind of base” for Iran. So we can’t have ANYTHING even remotely sympathetic towards Venezuela.
The star witness admits on screen he tried to come here in 2024 under Biden, was stopped by Border Patrol (who were letting almost everyone in at the time) and told he was a gang member and danger to society so he could not enter the US. Yet somehow Trump is to blame.
He was held in custody by ICE until the group of other alleged TdA “terrorists” were removed from the country. We used to send “terrorists” to Gitmo, not back to their country of origin where they would be released to commit further acts of terrorism. Nothing to see here but chitposting.
Well said. And they are trying to force the closure of Gitmo. How about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He was becoming celebrity with the liberals.
reminded knobs how they got manipulated will just upset them more. reason enough to keep on.
regarding immigration a good friend of mine works with immigrants flooding into sw Florida from Russia and the underbelly of Europe; thats whos buying up condos in Sarasota and they cant build them fast enough I grew up there [GO SARASOTA SAILORS] Im spending a month there in 2026 to access it. To put it bluntly Immigration is a mess and we all know it. It takes money time papers and fortitude to get thru the process I note that fewer persons highlight the contribution immigrants bring/give to us “In fact, no immigrant in American history has ever made a larger contribution than Alexander Hamilton.”
― Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton
If they are coming here and being good citizens and eventually trying to get their paper work in order , no problem.
But in 4 years we have imported 20 million illegals and that if 1% are committing felonies we cant deport them ?
It is not about sending back illegal immigrants and you know it. It is about sending people to a terrible prison and torture without even due process. The consequence is that innocent people get shipped and tortured too, even if you believe that illegal immigrants deserve that treatment.
And of course, without due process there is no reason why anyone, including yourself, could not end up like that, say by mistake. How would one fight the mistake without due process?
The same people complaining do not want them sent back even to their home country. So I guess Trump wanted to send a message to the gang bangers.
If anyone is saying everyone that crossed the border and other than that misdemeaner crime is getting deported to a El Salvadoran prison that is just hysterical bullshit trying to deflect and stop people from just getting deported out of the country
Again, those same people do not want them deported at all
Sure. You also avoided the point about due process, and how without it, noone is safe from the government. I take it from your dodging that, that you are in favour of sending anyone the government doesn’t like to this prison? Even when the next president might have very different ideas of who would qualify?
No .
First of all there are convicted felons from the country that they came from. Yes some of these people are convicted elsewhere and now here. We already let convicted criminals into the country.They go first. That ok with you?
Then we have the illegals that get convicted here.So you are saying those that are convicted here can stay or get deported to?
Now we get to the illegals doing human trafficking like the previous clown celebrity. We can at least remain him in jail is that ok? Of course all his legal bills will be paid by you me and everyone here. So you ok with that douche bag sitting in jail? If not can we send him to a hotel in your neighborhood because I do not want him in my neighborhood. If not your neighborhood or mine you tell me where do we put him? We just let him roam around anywhere unchecked? do you care where?
And the other 500,000 estimated criminals, thats like 1% of the illegals that apparently your ex president let in the country the last 4 years so dont tell me there are not at least that many.
Where do they go? They just get to roam around free too? Can we put any of them in your neighborhood? Where do they go?
And were you one of the many here thinking there was no border problem it was you know just those racist white right wing republicans? Then it was dont worry we got it under control. That went to how dare you send those Texas illegals to the affluent liberal towns Until you couldnt hide the live bodies anymore.
Enlighten me please on how you are going to solve this problem that I am guessing the party you voted for created this on steriods.
sneak across border with no due process? no problem.
boot the same people out? reeeeeee…. due process!!!!!
Bingo. They are always seem to take the side after the crime was committed.
“Every people has the government they deserve.” (Charles de Gaulle)
Aw, crap.
De Gaulle was a pompous goof
CRUMBLING EVIL EMPIRE 101. this is an old story.
The United States used to strive to differentiate our nation and society from totalitarian countries around the world through our actions. We celebrated our free press, our innocent-until-proven-guilty legal system, and our dedication to protecting human rights for all (criminals and non-criminals alike). Under Donald Trump, we now seem to be embracing the tactics of totalitarian leaders around the world when it comes to controlling the press, violating human rights, usurping the rule of law for convenience, and economically embracing protectionist policies such as tariffs and having the government take equity stakes in private enterprises.
Rather, under the Donald, Usonians are experimenting how the US treated the rest of the world. Karma is a female dog.
The diversion of Venezuelan illegals to El Salvador is a violation of their rights. I’m assuming the idea was that a) imprisoning these persons here would be a time-consuming and expensive effort, b) returning them to Venezuela would simply see them show up at the border in 6 weeks time, so we need to do something as a deterrent and c) we can outsource imprisonment to El Salvador at a lower cost.
I’m for imprisoning these persons here for a period of time commensurate with whatever other laws they may have broken and been convicted of, and then deporting them back to Venezuela or wherever they came from. If we’re worried about costs, then why don’t we simply adopt a chainless version of the classic chain gang and have them perform public service works around the country at federal lands and facilities: repair trails at national parks, build new service roads in national forests, or something that keeps them occupied and working for the national benefit.
Can we at least send them back to Venezuala?
this is the cost of electing the prior administration. sometimes the truth hurts, especially to those who voted for them.
The media’s problem in general has been a slippery slope from being a check and balance by the people on the government, to a propaganda machine for politicians against the people.
Any illegal aliens in the US should be sent to this prison.
They are all criminals.
Criminals should be in jail.
No one needs to wonder what you would be doing had you lived in Germany in 1936.
The Jewish people were illegals???
More hysterical bordering on comical liberal equation
No, they were “otherized” like we are doing to immigrants who crossed into the United States without proper documentation, claimed amnesty, and were following the legal process that is in place for amnesty claims. How do you suppose someone from another country that is being persecuted or otherwise endangered leaves that country and ends up in the U.S.? Do you think that they apply for visas, go through border control in their country to leave, and then drive or fly to an official port of entry at their destination country? Also, by the way, Hitler was imprisoned, enslaved, sterilized, and killed groups of people other than Jewish persons. Those groups included those who were of Polish or other “Slavic” countries, the disabled, political opponents, homosexuals, and black people.
what about the ones committing crimes? Fuck them.
In Mexico you pull that stunt as a border crosser with no legal papers you are in jail
We are the United States, not Mexico. The United States is the “Shiny City on the Hill” because we are a country that has a Constitution and has rules of law that we follow for all persons in our country, whether they have been citizens for 100 years, 100 days, or are here as tourists, or are here “illegally,” having crossed the border without papers. The rule of law, due process, and the innocent until proven guilty apply to all on U.S. soil. When you say, “Fuck them,” you are saying Fuck the Constitution, fuck the rule of law, and fuck being the nation that our founders envisioned as being one of constantly striving for a more perfect union.
So if you committed a crime, charged with that crime, some cases are murder, rape, well known cases. Innocent until proven guilty. Ok do they get bail? Sit in jail? Are you going with NY cash less bail?
Your glorious view of America has been tarnished by the left wing nutjobs in the democratic party for so many years now I can’t stand them anymore .
So, while we are waiting to try these people , can we put them in your neighborhood?
So, you are illustrating why Benjamin Franklin said that we have our democratic Republic, if we can keep it. You demonstrate the thinking he saw as the reason our Constitutional Republic will be hard to preserve. You do not know the virtue of our rule of law and justice system that is built upon the ideal that you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This ideal, which we have always abided by, guarantees that guilty people will go free so that almost no innocent people will be found guilty and punished. The system is designed to be imperfect in identifying the guilty to protect the innocent. You probably do not like that because it will be harder to convict a guilty person and exact punishment. Someone like you needs to understand that that part of our Constitution provided these protections to persons, not citizens. What that means is that any PERSON in the United States falls under these protections and this rule of law, not just persons. If you have a problem with this, you do not have a problem with Liberals; you have a problem with the Constitution itself.
The Nuremberg laws stripped them of German citizenship. Yes, they became criminalized under Nazi law. You need to learn some history. I’m ashamed and embarrassed for you. It’s horrible to watch you spew your ignorance and hate.
LOL
irony is so…. ironic. Especially from you, phil.
again, the ignorance is astounding of some people. Hysterics is their domain and all they know.
Only the imbeciles loyal to the Kaiser remained after ~1900. No WWI, no “1936”.
Anyone caught doing 5 MPH over the speed limit should be sent to prison.
They are all Criminals
Criminals should be in Jail.
Both speeding and immigration offenses are civil offenses..
So none of these illegals commiting any felonies? That is an outright lie or you are seriously misinformed
So, are all of these illegals commiting felonies? That is an outright lie or you are seriously misinformed.
Can you at least agree that the ones that have committed crimes get deported?
If not lets put them in your neighborhood until the trial
After due process, by all means!
ok, thats 1, fair enough I respect that
do you believe that illegal immigrants should be taking public services? things like healthcare or housing? And at what order should they receive those benefits over, say, veterans?
No.
That act like there is always enough to go around. Why, because it doesnt effect them thats why. At least not visually or physically but we are all paying the excess financial burden.
I cannot wait until NYS asks the federal government for their next bailout thanks to the Biden open border policies.
They are just keeping this quiet. They better get another few hundred thousand of mail in ballots ready to win wink wink the next presidential election because they dont want to ask Trump for the money
I said nothing of the sort, David. You made up a question as a Straw man to attack me with, then you said that i’m either a liar or misinformed based on your made up straw man question.
What kind of human being attacks another human beings integrity (called me a liar) or attack my intelligence (ability to gain information) based off of 4 sentences.
David, also I wanted to share with that immigrants commit crimes lest then the native Americans.
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU01/20250122/117827/HHRG-119-JU01-20250122-SD004.pdf
non documented immigrants commit crimes roughly at 65% less the rate of the native usa population. That native population is also far larger then the immigrant population. So if you really give a poop about reducing felonies and crime then reducing the native population crime rate would be the biggest bang for your buck rather then the immigration stick your running.
Unless reducing overall crime not your true motive………. but i get it. Some Haters just need to Hate on the others to feel good about them selves.
Have a wonderful Christmas David. My Christmas wish it that the spirit of Christmas bless you with joy and empathy for others.
Matt- I apologize. Not sure what for but ok.
Right now most of this is exaggerated to the point that the true illegal aliens committing crimes can’t even get deported and we have ICE agents trying to deport all kinds of criminals and all the virtue signalling is getting on my nerves
It is the democrat party that is getting in the way of enforcing ALL crime on the streets anyway in this country. NY cashless bail is a fucking disaster. People here seem more concerned with hardened illegal aliens getting their due process instead of putting away someone that has been arrested 40 times and #41 is another assault and let go. That has happened in NY dozens of times. I wish they would channel their complaining in that direction. Its like everyone here goes quiet on the democrat controlled chaos so just bring up whipping boy Trump to distract people
Most of these people wouldn’t want 90% of the illegals that have come into this country in their neighborhood for 24 hours and frankly I highly doubt they are in their neighborhoods so they get to lecture from a safe distance.
I am already having a very festive and Merry Holiday Season.
May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.
more liberal hysterical comparisons
Nope. A very accurate one. By your reasoning anyone breaking the law is eligible for this treatment. Or without breaking the law, since there is no due legal process.
You are deeply ignorant. It’s embarrassing to watch.
J-walking and books overdue to the library, too.
There can be only one solution for these sort of societal deviants.
Hang em high/s
matt, take your ritalin.
Kind of like saying you should get your hand chopped off when you get a speeding ticket. Does punishment fit the crime?
Also who besides you said they were criminals? Were they convicted of something by anyone with any sort of standing to do so?
Basically, it is “ kill them all and let god sort it out”.
Land of the free?
Land of the freak, home of the knave.
One would think that these people would be held in US facilities if the crimes committed were so serious. What is being done is wholesale evasion and evisceration of US rights and laws. No self-respecting country would take deportees from another country that were not their citizens. El Salvador is doing this to obtain favorable treatment (and probably payments) from the Trump Administration.
Don’t complain when your rights are violated, your property confiscated, or you are shipped out of the country.
The majority of our Congress are criminals, they’re not in jail. Pete Hegseth is a criminal, he’s not in jail. The US military personnel murdering citizens of Venezuela in International waters are criminals, they’re not in jail. US weapons manufacturers supplying and enabling the Palestinian Genocide are criminals, they’re not in jail. If you’re serious about jailing criminals why not start with the worst of them.
No, not to prison. You see you ruin it for the sane non liberals and non virtual signalling white people.
You going to send a 6 yr old girl home? DACA rules come into play. If the parents are working and not commiting crimes and the kids are in school and striving to do better you are basically here. That is what has been happening in NYS for 40 years now. Except in the virtue signally affluent white communites. They even get mad when 50 guys are in front of the local deli waiting to go get picked up to work. Oh but they hire someone that in turns hire that illegal to tend to their garden.
My beef is there are illegals here that have committed crimes, multiple crimes but many here think they are entitled to the same due process as a law abiding citizen. But the system is so back logged that is never going to happen in a timely matter so I’m sorry, ya gotta go and dont come back.
So many of you here are not effected by this because you do not live in those communties nor do you have to deal with the area on a daily basis.
Nothing worse than a liberal, a white liberal even worse virtual signalling from a far and let the little people have to deal with all this chaos
The story gave me something to ponder and research further. Certainly, the prison conditions seem inhumane. However, the Venezuelan student mentioned that his teeth had been smashed. Has he had dental work since? His teeth seemed fine. I tend to discount their stories as it’s all hearsay at this point and there is no photographic evidence of the alleged abuse. Were they completely recovered when they returned to Venezuela? Would it not have made sense to photograph evidence of the mistreatment???
“I tend to discount their stories as it’s all hearsay at this point and there is no photographic evidence of the alleged abuse. Were they completely recovered when they returned to Venezuela? Would it not have made sense to photograph evidence of the mistreatment???”
I see someone wearing TWS and MAGA hats.
If Trump pissed in your own face and said he didn’t, you would believe Trump.
If the person with the smashed teeth is telling his story, it is not hearsay. May or may not be true, but it is not hearsay. Hearsay is own somebody else, not the person who allegedly had his teeth smashed, tells the story. Hearsay could be true or false, but the problem with it in a courtroom is the accused/his lawyer cannot question the actual source, so it is usually not allowed. You can’t see all of his teeth.

Dehumanizing victims is a tool of religious and political organizations. It has been for millennia. The fact that Trump (a pathological liar and pedophile) is directing this operation and the suppression of the news is no surprise to me.
It’s the slow drip of oppression, corruption, incompetence, graft, propaganda, coercion, patronage……sooner or later the drip becomes an ocean and you drown.
See it yet? Don’t worry you’ll get to see a lot more there’s still 3 more years to go. Don’t whine and cry like a baby when it hits you in the face and say no one warned you.
Got exit strategy?
correct. this is squarely at the feet of 98% of amerikans who have been voting for this bullshit for many decades. crumbling evil empire 101. anthropology 101. exit strategy is very smart. i put mine into affect a few decades ago. you are the smartest man on this board. hands down. most believed in pax dumbfuckistan for decades.
98% of Americans have NOT been voting for this bullshit. There has been exactly ONE candidate who actually promised these policies, and he received 32% support out of all eligible Americans. The fact that other administrations have committed policy sins does not mean that Americans support them. Good Americans were outraged by Abu Ghraib, fictitious WMD’s used to justify wars, etc etc etc.
That being said, I would 100% support reeducation camps for the 32% of people who DID support this criminal administration.
No I have a clean up my neighborhood strategy. Come work hard and help us all raise good kids. I don’t care where you came from or how you got here. But if you got here illegally and are committing crimes while you are on welfare while not working, yeah, I do hope you get sent to an El Salvador prison
oakland, ca is filled with voters like you. go have a look at what it looks like.
And you know he is a pedophile?
He has been convicted of such?
Even with overwhelming evidence he will never be tried or convicted. What is needed is 86/47 25th, impeachment or god.
Where is the overwhelming evidence? There is more overwhelming evidence on Bill Clinton and I said that a year ago here . So spare me your selective outrage.
not selective at all. I’ve written that all docs,pics and videos should be released with only the name and face of victims redacted. screw national security or ongoing investigations or who the elite may be, that’s all bullshit to protect the rich and famous.
Interesting. We care about due process now?
LOL. Touche…… But apparently its ok to call someone a pedophile on a social media post about 1,000 times here this year? Frost maybe 25 of those lol.
There are criminals here committing crimes and they should be deported.
Because of our lax and intentional democratic party feeding system of bringing in illegal aliens for the last 40 years in NY alone, they have backlogged the sytem to know end. And you are expecting some clean process here?
Let them stay in your neighborhood ok? I wont hold my breath you telling me sure they are welcome in your neighborhood.
You are apparently shielded from the problems, that is the big issue here I have a problem with. They aint in your neighborhood.
Lets dump them in your neighborhood and you sing that same tune. I want to see all the virtue signalers out here have to deal with that.
I am not denying the problems or against sending away illegal immigrants. I am against the way it is being done, and especially when it comes to people not given a chance to prove they are in fact legal. And fair enough, that should count for Trump too on the pedophile charge.
were you against it when the guy you voted for opened the door? remember when he said in a debate for illegal immigrants to surge to the border? seems many D/Biden voters did a memory dump on that moment as well as the 4 years he ‘led’.
weird that you didn’t feel this way about the hair sniffing, shower with daughter dude. it’s almost as though you’re a hypocrite. Wait, that can’t be right, can it?
The US can also do this to any legal citizen based on the powers enacted after 911. They have the right to detain you without any rights if you are considered an enemy of the state. Having said that I am sure those deported were not Sunday school teachers. Ask any current prisoners in the US and they are all innocent, Same with the father of the year George Floyd, I am skeptical of the 60 min segment claiming their innocence. I would like to see the US govt response and documentation of the accusations against those deported before I formulate an opinion on this. 60 minutes has typically been severely sensational and biased in their reporting.
What is happening to our humanity? I agree that criminals should be deported, but there was little due process and increasingly we are seeing that those being deported are not criminals beyond coming into the country illegally. Ok deport them, but there is no need to hold them in this country in inhumane detention centers and no need to send them to prisons. Send them back to their country of orgin.. This is simply cruelty.Is that who we are?
“This is simply cruelty.Is that who we are?”
Under this administration yes, that is who and what america is.
obama built those cages, remember? seems many don’t recall any of that time period. how surprising.
Sending them back on a typical Carnival Cruise would be a Win-Win.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!! Post of the year
That is part of the problem. Everyone on the democrat side and every NGO that got them here illegally is fighting to not get them deported period.
well said. And beyond biased. They have been doing this since the 1990s
Please explain to me WTF as an American citizen I have to give a shit about gang banging criminals that came to America illegally, to commit felonies in America, and now I have to care about the conditions of a foreign countries prison system and how they are treated?
I really don’t care.
Thanks, I was wondering what low IQ sociopaths were feeling about this.
Typical response from an hysterical liberal like yourself
Don’t worry, at least with the White House improvements world dignitaries wont have to take a shit in a porty potty no thanks to you
Thanks for more insight into your ignorant worldview. It’s always fascinating to hear from the sick and twisted.
Why thank you Phil. Its a compliment coming from you.
Ok lets bring the ones back and dump in a hotel in your neighborhood
Or are you going to be like the not in my back yard virtue signaling white liberals from was it Nantucket when 5 illegals got bused in they had a panic attack and got them removed in 24 hours.
phil, how sad are you that rachel maddow isn’t on as much as before?
So, MAGA faithful have two standards. Guilty until proven innocent for undocumented immigrants, and Innocent until proven guilty for MAGA & associated leadership that traffics underage girls for sexual predators.
As a bonus they organize to obstruct justice and suppress evidence that the victims need released.
meet the MAGA zgeneration https://www.city-journal.org/article/manhattan-institute-focus-group-gen-z-republicans
oh they are undocumented immigrants? Wow you are speaking the language too now?
No they are illegal aliens and the ones that are illegal and gang banging I do not care if they get sent to Siberia
How about we bring them all back and put them in Phil from CT neighborhood and yours too?
undocumented? Oh, you mean illegal. How many are you housing and rehabilitating?
Can you point to the legal due process that took place before deporting these people and labeling them gang bangers? In America, people are innocent until proven guilty.
If you would follow the story of your main hero who even the judge had evidence he was human trafficking illegals, 10 in a van with no ID Mr Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Go read up on that guy, outside of your CNN & MSNBA news sources. And no I do not get or watch news or anything from Fox so save that typical response.
That would not be my response. My response is that I have yet to see any evidence that the majority of the people being apprehended and deported have been granted legal representation, a hearing, a trial, and a verdict rendered. Many are being picked up from their place of work, their homes, or elsewhere while doing nothing wrong except not yet being legal citizens, either because they came here without documentation at some point and committed an extremely minor misdemeanor.
In LA, they have arrest records. You’re welcome.
LA , NY Seattle, MA……They only get their new from the ny times.
So, you are talking about the small percentage of immigrants who are here with work permits and awaiting their time in court to plead their amnesty case that commit a serious misdemeanor or a felony, are found guilty, and released on parole, and are hiding from ICE, who will want to deport them? In those cases, deport them back to their country of origin.
Know we are not. And that is the point you are not addressing, There are many convicted murderers rapists etc etc so why should I care about there due process now? As mentioned by RealityCzech did you care about their due process when they broke the law coming here? some have gone back and forth multiple times and now all of a sudden I am supposed to be upset about a convicted or criminal brought up on felony charges from a DA?
So where do we send them until we attempt to try them? assuming its not NY because we have cashless bail law so these violent criminals are walking the streets
I know, lets send them to a hotel in your neighborhood.
‘small percentage of immigrants’? I am assuming you mean illegal immigrants, right?
I am talking about the estimated (according to dhs) 1.8. – 2.9 million illegals in California.
Seriously, where do you get your news? This has been a problem in LA for a long time. Decades.
Sorry, but I am not going to otherize immigrants who have crossed the border to escape poverty and violence, looking for a better life as “illegals.” Did they commit a misdemeanor by not coming to the U.S. through a formal port of entry? Yes! Ok, they are here, and they have the rights and papers to work until their court date, when they will make their amnesty case. They are not “illegals,” they are just not as lucky as you are by being a citizen of the U.S.
On the one hand, sending foreign nationals to other countries to be rendered for torture is a 21st century tradition for the U.S.
On the other hand, its been a heinous tragedy that we’ve allowed it since day one.
No. The real tragedy is their victims. No, the real 21st century tradition is some people in this country care more about the felonious criminals than they do their victims.
Too many.
Again, where is the legal process that proves guilt? This is America, not North Korea, China or Russia.
what about its ok they can be here for a bit longer so long as they are plucking the chickens mowing the lawns changing the sheets building the new 8,000 homes in Manatee/Sarasota county……….
Do your own do diligence on many of these people that are getting caught. If 20% of them are commiting felonies while here illegally, why the hell should I care what happens to them?
In any other country they would be in jail. But you virtue signalling white liberals cant even address the illegals committing crimes in this country you just virtue signal from afar
Ok, send the few you care about back and we came dump them in a hotel in your neighborhood during the trial
I am not “virtue” signalling, I am talking about Constitutional ideals that have shaped our laws and institutions in this nation for the last 150 years. I am talking about what differentiates the United States from most other countries in the world. You are obviously someone who adheres to an “ends justify the means” worldview. Unfortunately for you and those like you, this Trump era that you so relate to flies in the face of most principles and values that enabled the United State to become the beacon of freedom and democracy in the world over the last 150 years. This era of scrapping our values and principles for convenience and expediency will pass because it is a perversion of who we are as a nation.
KP, do you believe borders matter? I wonder what you thought about a presidential candidate (and then president) telling foreigners to surge to the border and then did nothing to stop them from entering illegally. Since you’re concerned about the rule of law and constitution.
Seems like you only care about one side of the equation.
I want a secure border, many very efficient legal entry points, and a system that makes it easy to come here legally and work, and even to follow a path toward citizenship.
Are you saying illegal immigrants are not here illegally? Make a cogent argument.
Many of these immigrants entered U.S. soil without going through the formal port-of-entry process. That in itself is a misdemeanor. Many of those are immediately confronted by Border Control, who claim that they are fleeing violence, drug cartels, and political persecution. When they make such claims, they ask for amnesty. At that point, they find themselves in a legal process that takes time to play out. Border Control releases them and advises them that they can obtain temporary work papers. They get work papers, they get a job, and wait for their day in front of a judge. These people are not “illegals.” We know who these people are, we know where they work because they pay taxes, and they are legally in the amnesty process.
You mean they hopped the border. Stop watering down what they did. Just be honest.
What percent of illegal immigrants show up to their court dates?
They are illegal. How many have you taken into your home? Or is it that you just want everyone else to do that while you sit on your hands?
You’re such a coward.
They are people, human beings, and now on U.S. soil, and as such, they are due almost all of the same rights and protections that you are under our Constitution.
Entering the U.S. illegally is considered a misdemeanor under 8 U.S.C. § 1325 for a first offense, punishable by a fine or up to six months in prison. However, reentering the U.S. after being previously deported is classified as a felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1326, which can result in harsher penalties, including significant prison time.
How many pay taxes? A better question is the fiscal drain, taxes minus benefits. Congress estimates it is $68,000 per person, added to the national debt.
ok, now lets talk about all the criminals you have not mentioned.
That’s true. NK, China and Russia would likley have executed the illegal immigrants or put them in work camps.
Want to try again?
more hysterical nonsense. It is now a “tradition”?????
It has probably been going on for or attempted to be done in for what 3 months/ 6 months?
So 6 months is now 21st tradition? This is why you left leaning liberal folks can’t govern. You exaggerate everything to fit your dynamic .
Is it a tragedy that your party let young girls and women be raped trying to get over the border? Sold in prostitution until someone could pay off their smuggler.
Oh no its all a glorious time people just crossing the border like its a day in the sunshine
Some of you people are accountable for nothing.
I DONT GET WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME FROM OTHER USA BROADCASTING NARRATIVES AND OVERREACH.
ITS JUST GETTING WORSE WITH EVERY YEAR. YOU CAN NOT BRING TO LIGHT CORRUPTION OF OUR POLITICIANS OR YOU GET AN IRS NOTICE. CRITISIZE THE LEFT, THE RIGHT OR THE ATROCITIES ISRAEL HAS BEEN COMMITING AND YOU CAN BE INVESTIGATED OR EVEN LOSE YOUR JOB.
WHAT AN EXITANCE!
Curious: what “atrocities” has Israel actually committed that haven’t been normalized modern combat procedures since at least WW2? I always get the suspicion that people complaining about Israeli actions go out of their way to ignore international precedent and focus only on applying unrealistic standards on one country that has a characteristic particular to it that every other state doesn’t.
WWII?? rolls eyes The Battle of Qarqar took place in 853 BCE thats just a smidgen Its ongoing “People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.”l
James Baldwin
Are you joking? There isn’t enough room here to list all the criminal atrocities practiced routinely by Israel but targeting civilians, children, journalists, medical personnel, first responders would be on the list. Exploding pagers used by random population members including children and first responders. Use of white phosphorous and cluster munitions……..
look out!!! there’s a jooooooo behind that tree!!!!
They’ve razed the northern half of Gaza and starved the population. Defending that by hearkening back to other genocides is not much of a defense.
genocide…. lol, you guys were the same people to redefine vaccine and man. Just take a seat and take your meds. Nurse Ratched will be with you shortly.
How does CBS still have a broadcast license?
By bending to the knee?
Under the Trump regime it is a “propaganda” license.
Dude. It’s been that for over 60 years. WaPo, CBS, CNN, NPR, PBS, NYT. State-controlled media. Sure, they let them run stories on gay marriage or recipes for pumpkin cookies at Halloween time, but anything about foreign policy and the American Empire is essentially a press release by the deep state – which operates independently of who’s in the White House. No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.
dude, frosty has terminal tds. pointing out facts is like taking a drink from a drunk.
By kowtowing to power, that’s how it ever got and kept its license.
