Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Senator Van Hollen says about Abrego Garcia:

  • Abrego Garcia feels traumatized about being at CECOT.
  • He doesn't feel threatened by his cellmates, but he fears prisoners in other units.
  • He was moved out of CECOT to a new facility in Santa Ana 8 days ago.
  • He has no access to news or information from the outside world.
  • He feels very sad about being in prison for not committing any crime.
  • He said he wants to talk to his wife more than anything else.

Van Hollen says that government official placed the margaritas on the table in the Bukele photo. Van Hollen says that neither he or Abrego Garcia drank from the margarita. Van Hollen implies that the margaritas may have been fake and the one of the margaritas was left less full than the other to appear as it had been drank from.

The chuds will love this so they can point to it and say "oh see he's just a d*generate alcoholic!" meanwhile John Q. Chud is on his fifth scotch opening up twitter to rage about scary brown people.

This is the photos for reference. The Van Hollen Photo has 3 glasses of water. The Bukele photo has the 3 water glasses plus 2 margarita glasses. In Bukele's tweet he uses the margaritas to deny that CECOT is a death camp. Van Hollen says that a government official placed the drinks for the photo op. He says that if someone had actually drank from the glasses, then the sugar on the rim would have a mouth imprint.

Lmao what is even the logic?

How can it be a death camp if he's drinking a margarita outside of it? smuglord

I missed it in the first press video I watched because the audio was scuffed, but Van Hollen does say that the El Salvador government officials has asked him to do the interview next to a hotel swimming pool.

Van Hollen added that Bukele’s government wanted the meeting to take place by a pool: “They actually wanted to have the meeting [take place] by the side of the pool in the hotel,” he said. “This is a guy who’s been in CECOT. This is a guy who has been detained. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar, which, of course, is a big fat lie.”

That is basically what all the chud influencers are saying. Are they stupid or are they gaslighting? You decide.

libsoftiktok is an overt fascist, and all you do when you pretend otherwise is lose to the pig in the mud. sartre-pipe and all that. i know you know that, it just bothers me how many people bother entertaining the idea that she's just stupid. it doesn't matter, but also she's not. she just doesn't care, as it were.

Everybody knows foreign prisons serve margaritas.

I thought that they'd say it is "oh look he's living in luxury, like the illegals in the USA who get free food and money! frothingfash

If this 4chan removed president photoshops and lies about something like this over one person, what other bullshit has he pulled over the people of El CIAdoor?
