We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

A change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution

To all the smirking trump cult on trial at The Hague for international crimes against humanity.
With Jack Smith prosecuting their asses. And smirking HIS ass off. Trump, Bondie, Noem, Vance Miller, Rubio, Homan, Press Room Barbie, MTG, Musk et al. And all of them Sentenced to life on white bread and Flint bottled water. One cell, one toilet, and shaved heads all. 24/7 Video for all of our viewing pleasure as the attack each other.
Then espionage trials after the humanity convictions.
And treason since Trump is using war acts now for his hunting parties.
No prison needed with the constitutional penalty for said treason.
As they are marched to the cells, we all clap and cheer like MAGA did at MTG shit show for people drug out and tased, for calling her ass out.
Reach out to MAGA my ass. Fuck them all.

Bukele is too smart to become an idiot's puppet.

What Bukele lacks is empathy, someone with a little bit of it would have sent the innocent man back to the USA. These people don't give a crap about other people's lives, all these repugs.

How can they sleep at night we may ask? Its easy, the criminal mind works in very different ways, cruelty, crime, murder, fraud, etc. mean nothing to them, hurting people means nothing to them, they lack remorse, lack concept of consequences, empathy, morals, etc., etc., etc.

They will never admit an innocent man was illegally deported and died in the concentration camp they are renting as a result.

On our left, to the right of bondi, her expression is of alarm at hearing the criminal speak, then on our right, to the left of Bondi, is a cruel expression, maybe satisfied at bondi's statement.

I am not mischaracterizing these women, I am just making an observation about their expressions. For all I know the one one our right might be as good as Mother Theresa, but I doubt.

Bondi may be facing contempt in a different case. If she disregards the rulings in this case she may fact a different set of contempt charges
This will be fun to watch. I suspect that there are plenty of attorneys including some recently fired DOJ attorneys who will be happy to take this assignment.

18. Bondi does not have any evidence to back up her claims
Wed Apr 16, 2025, 07:01 PM

REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence?

BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country

R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence?

BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

The claim about MS-13 appears to be bogus and would not stand up in court



https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/abrego-garcia-and-ms-13--what-do-we-know

Abrego Garcia, who has no criminal record in the United States or anywhere else, denies the allegation of gang membership. On March 24, his attorneys filed suit in Greenbelt, Maryland, asking U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis to order him returned. He argued, as the government has since admitted, that his removal was illegal because an immigration judge had granted him “withholding of removal” to El Salvador due to his “well-founded fear of future persecution” there from a violent gang known as Barrio 18. His attorneys allege that CECOT houses members of that gang.

This article explores the source of the administration’s claim about Abrego Garcia’s membership in MS-13 and its credibility, both on its face and in the context of the other information known about this individual.....

Abrego Garcia’s lawyer later tried to obtain more information about the allegations ICE had made at the bail hearing, according to the complaint. He discovered that the Prince George’s Police Department had no incident report for the arrest, and the Hyattsville City Police Department’s report mentioned only the other three men arrested—not Abrego Garcia.

Then the complaint adds yet another disturbing detail:

His attorney also contacted the [Prince George’s Police Department] Inspector General requesting to speak to the detective who authored the GFIS sheet, but was informed that the detective had been suspended. A request to speak to other officers in the Gang Unit was declined.

In the recent Maryland federal court litigation, the government has not contested, through introduction of evidence, any of the specific accusations of Abrego Garcia’s complaint. It has only, in conclusory fashion, continued to cling to Judge Kessler’s finding that Abrego Garcia was an MS-13 member. (Kessler’s bond decision was later upheld on administrative appeal in a perfunctory two-page opinion.).....

Shortly after he won “withholding of removal” status, Abrego Garcia was released to return home. Evidently, no one saw him as presenting any danger to the community anymore.

Since then, once a year, Abrego Garcia has “checked in” with immigration officials. This is the standard procedure required of individuals with his status—removable, but with removal “withheld” from their country of origin. Abrego Garcia’s last routine check-in occurred on Jan. 2 of this year, without incident.

The trump DOJ does not want to have to defend these claims in a real court hearing
