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.

      Carter negotiated relentlessly for their release, and even attempted an armed rescue mission that failed, but Reagan had counter-negotiated behind his back, and convinced the Iranians to hold on the hostages until after the Inauguration. They were released while Reagan was being sworn in.

      That’s called Treason, and Reagan should have gotten the rope for that. Then he sold weapons of mass destruction to Iran to finance his illegal war in Central America, using drug smugglers to smuggle weapons to his CIA mercenaries. Once the weapons were dropped off, the pilots fulled their planes with cocaine and flew it back to America. The enormous number of CIA-protected cocaine flights to America led to the breath-taking crack cocaine epidemic of the 80s/90s. More treason, and he definitely should have gotten the rope for that.

      Reagan was one of the most destructive presidents in American history.

          Reagan also abolished The Fairness Doctrine, which allowed Rush Limbaugh to lead the conservative talk radio revolution, and establish the foundation of the Conservative Propaganda Machine. After almost 40 years of expansion into every other media, and becoming multi-generational, the Conservative Propaganda Machine has created an entirely alternative universe for many conservatives to live in, where Joe Biden leads the Biden Crime Family, and the HitlerPig family is a godly, Christian, All-American family.
