Matt Gaetz visited the El Salvador mega-prison last summer and pitched the idea of sending migrants there to Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, according to a report.

Trump’s failed nominee to lead the Justice Department was invited on a diplomatic visit by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele in July 2024, TIME reports.

Bukele made Gaetz an offer during a dinner that he would be willing to imprison migrants that Trump wanted removed from the U.S. inside El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center, known as CECOT, according to the outlet. The next day, Gaetz was given a tour of the facility, which human rights groups have described as a “tropical gulag” rife with abuses.

    I hear a lot of people, mostly (if not exclusively) from the right side of the political scene refer to different things as “satanic” or “demonic”, but how on earth do you not look at ghouls like Gaetz or Miller without wondering if they are not actually hellspawn feeding on human suffering? It’s really like they need it for sustenance, so they aim to create as much suffering as they can to never go hungry again…

      Pseudo Christians, y’all indifferent, kids in prison ain’t a sin?
      If even one scrap of what Jesus taught connected, you’d feel different
      What a disingenuous way to piss away existence, I don’t get it
      I’d say you lost your goddamn minds if y’all possessed one to begin with

      It’s biological. They were born that way. Some of us are truly bad eggs. And unfortunately, a lot of them make huge impacts on human society, due to their complete lack of empathy, and insatiable ambition.

        Gotta love Type B personality disorders. Until we figure out a way to cure or prevent them, we’re doomed to keep repeating the fascism cycle.
