Summary

Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.

This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.

Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.

The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is usually perspective.

        Murder innocent women and children. You should deport the rest of the women and children to some place they’ve never lived and let the murderers take their homes. Spray paint a car, you should deport the spray painter to a prison in a country they have never lived in.

        I see no inconsistency in their logic /s
