Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.
How about the legislatures stay home and legislate and you can send a fucking staffer or emissary for the photo op. FFS.
Actually do their jobs? No no, we prefer the virtue signaling tyvm
They need to stop this 1 at a time thing. Get like 40 members of Congress, Senators and Representatives. Show up at CECOT with cameras live streaming and demand to be admitted. When they refuse, force your way in.
I don’t believe anyone in El Salvador, including Bukele and the goons staffing the prison, want to have a live stream of them assaulting/arresting a bunch of US members of Congress. And if they do, maybe that’ll help wake some Republican voters up to the fascism.
Such a dumb, American-centric idea. No Central American banana-republic dictator is going to care that they are Senators/ Reps, they’ll just mow them down with machine guns. The fact that it is livestreamed only demonstrates how powerful they are to the entire world.
Their ONLY fear would be retaliation from the US military, but HitlerPig won’t do that. He already greenlit the torture murder of Adnan Khashoggi so that it wouldnt derail his arms talks with Saudi Arabia. Not only will he not respond to killing a bunch of elected Democrats, he’d publicly praise it.
I don’t think you have a very strong grasp on international politics.
Said the guy who just wrote a delusional fan fiction. Looking for a TV win instead of a policy win. I’m not sure you understand much of anything outside of creative writing.
Van Hollen on his own going down there was enough to cajole them into giving him a face-to-face meeting with Abrego Garcia. Two days ago half the people on the internet were convinced Abrego Garcia was already dead, but just 1 Senator was able to disprove that. The government of El Salvador was so afraid of the optics of denying just a single Senator that they backed down from their initial refusal and completely capitulated.
And you think it’s fantasy that a larger number could accomplish more? You are clearly not paying the slightest bit of attention.
And then Trump opens up another prison in Venezuela and we’re right back to where we were. Needing the legislator to legislate.
…in Venezuela? One of the 2 countries in the western hemisphere we don’t have diplomatic relations with? A country Trump tried to do a violent coup in last time he was in power? You think they’re going to build a concentration camp for Trump and start taking prisoners?
You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, and it really shows.
Venezuela is already is a concentration camp for venezuelans LMAO 🤣
