Funny Events of the "Woke" world

If anything it feel like Biden should have dropped out later. The poll showed Haris doing the best in the couple of week after he dropped out, and things go worse as election day got closer.

There's a reason why that was the case, there were some massive unforced errors she could have avoided. She might have still lost polling advantage, but I suspect even if she did, it would have been a far more gradual decline.

The man you are talking about was an illegal border crosser with a deportation order, who was given temporary protected status because of the state of El Salvador. He has now been sent back to El Salvador. He is in his own country, subject to their laws, why would the US Supreme Court have any say on what happens now?

Yes, it's so ridiculous that only 9 out of 9 supreme court justices are demanding it.

The action of sending him there violated US law, they are obligated to say so. But the US can do no more than allow the man's return, we're not going to invade El Salvador to take their citizens away, which the Supreme Court acknowledged. The lower court ruling had demanded they "effectuate" his return to the US, the Supreme Court only ordered his return be "facilitated", the difference between those words being precisely the difference between simply allowing his return on our end and physically taking him from his home country to bring him here.

The US is paying El Salvador to keep him. Of course it can get him back.

That whole arrangement would even be way worse if the US couldn't get any of the hundreds of people it abducted and disappeared to El Salvador back. That would mean it never had the intention to do that or allow later administrations to.

So: Government agents aren't necessarily the ones making these decisions; it's been left up to contractors, such as CoreCivic (which runs private detention centres).

In one case (Andry José Hernandez, the makeup artist) the report that concluded he was a TDA member lists as its Investigator a CoreCivic employee who;

1. Was fired as a sergeant after driving his car into a family home when drunk;
2. Was under investigation for defrauding payroll when he was fired;
3. Was on a list of enforcement officers deemed by prosecutors to have credibility issues bad enough to damage his ability to testify in court.

Phoenixmgs asked me earlier, "why would we just put them in prison" if people were innocent. Well, how about we let Prudential Securities-- an insurer that wrote a report on CoreCivic 40 years ago-- answer that question?

"Low occupancy is a drag on profits... company earnings would be strong if CoreCivic succeeded in ramping up population levels in its new facilities at an acceptable rate".

And, of course, El Salvador received a few million dollars for its role.
