The leader of a country named 'The Saviour' after Christian's Jesus having to give in to arranging a meeting with a kidnapped prisoner and his senator sets up a lie on 'Holy Thursday' Isn't 'Holy Thursday' the night Jesus was supposed to be praying in Gethsemane? The man placed them at a table with 'fake margarita' glasses then sends out a taunting tweet. SMH

The president of El Salvador is just as stupid as Trump. That meeting totally undercut the position of the Trump Administration that they cannot force or even influence the government of El Salvador to release Abrego Garcia.

The funny thing is that Van Hollen was informed of the meeting through the United States Embassy in El Salvador. Last time I checked, Trump's state department controls all US Embassies. Liars who are not too smart invariably trip up themselves with glaringly inconsistent statements.

Can I intrude into the echo chamber and inject a dose of facts please?

Trump has a 90% approval rate amongst conservatives. The rest of the country is insignificant to him.
Ortez' approval is around 80% in the entirety of El Salvador.

The echo chamber's views on teh matter are insignificant.

Dear all-knowing Antman, please share your sources for those poll numbers. Us mere mortals are not all aware of those obviously impeccable sources outside the echo chamber smile

And Antman's echo chamber is obviously superior to all others. I wonder how conservatives feel about Tariff Man post-liberation day. We already know how stock market investors feel about Tariff Man, and those were some of his strongest supporters

Would you also like me to explain to you how google works? How to turn on a computer? How to read and extract info from raw data? how to read PDFs?
Trump - gallup

How about critical thinking and how to avoid ingrained biases?
It would appear that the entire echo chamber needs help with that too?
Ortez - world of statistics

oh oh.
my apologies.
I was mistaken Ortez' approval in January was not 80% but 91%.


anyways... facts are so inconvenient at times eh? Especially in an echo chamber.

Many thanks to you the All-Knowing Antman.

I saw your reference to critical thinking in response to a post by nick. And I am wondering how critical thinking could have led you to conclude that my request for sources means that the information contained in those sources would be inconvenient for me. You iz ah mindreader or wah?

Anyway, I thought that you had access to an enlightened echo chamber to which regular folks like me do not have access. I am crestfallen to learn that we all exist in the same Google echo chamber smile

Critical thinking, logical thinking in fact, led me to the conclusion that your request for sources was based on an assumption that the numbers I quoted were made up, magically conjured out of nothingness, bereft of any semblance of truth.

Now this is not a stretch, since your carefully curated echo chamber of misfits is known to pick and choose, spin and exaggerate opinions and angles, grasp at straws, and stitch together arguments that reverberate through the empty, hollow chamber. These arguments are often grounded not in fact, but in convenient narratives built far from reality. So that delusion is what you’re used to.

If I am mistaken and you really were seeking sources, which Google could have assisted with, then please accept my apology.

You say critical thinking and logical thinking, and I say projection and speculation. But we good man. No harm no foul

I think Bukele is miscalculation. Trump or another Repub will not always be in power Repubs will not always have control of both houses; Supreme Court rulings could force both his and Trump's hand at anytime. Sadly another ill-concieved, cruel Stephen Miller juvenile policy could result in humans being list to their families like the unaccounted for children of Trump's 1st term
