Who do I trust?
A lying asswipe who wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in his orange face?
A man I don't know that has been sent to a foreign nation's prison for no reason?
Easy choice.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

the individual is not the issue. it's the process. i'm not going to go to bat for some rando who might very well be involved in nefarious shit, but i will damn sure defend the idea that every person is allowed a chance to defend themself. this is the issue. people need to stop treating this dude like a saint. it could very well backfire.
in fact, leftists and liberals in general need to stop automatically assuming the opposite of everything a conservative claims is true. that's a fucking trap and it's illogical.

Also, weren't they already claiming he was part of some Venezuelan gang? MS-13 is an American gang of jailed Latinos.
You mean the US government had someone they considered a terrorist and instead of holding them, they released them?
I mean at least he didn't use a sharpie this time....
I really have to think at this point there's some really heinous shit they're doing while everyone hyperfocuses on this. It's the only logical reason they'd keep up the charade after it's been proven it's absolute fucking bullshit.
You wanna bring up possibility of criminal history as an argument against someone being entitled to their rights as a US citizen? Let's not throw big and obvious stones in very precarious glass houses.
Can someone make a photo of trump holding up a photo of himself with a MS-13 tatoo, plz?
Even if it wasn't, it would still be won't to kidnap and throw him into a concentration camp without due process.
Never mind the top, what's up with the words underneath? No one would have their tattoo pics labeled for clarity like that.
Actually these supposed to explain his tattoos, but the whole thing is still flimsy, see: https://lemm.ee/comment/19828278
Does the shadow in the belly button match the shadow cast by the hand? Does he have an "outie"? Caveat: I'm not a Photoshop sleuth
A TATTOO?! GUILTY! FEED HIM TO THE LIONS!
These people are so fucking stupid. Footage from the Van Hollan meeting will come out soon and show this is clearly not a thing.
Oh my god that looks so fake. The MS13 is so to clean and clear.
Absolute baby-town frolics.
