Look up the history of the whole 'free internet ' shit. They were always corporation ass kissers and remarkably antifreedom. I remember that stuff from the early 2010s.
People act like this is the way to deal with crime since crime did drop. Only problem is that the gang violence in El Salvador was highly disorganized. They did try to do shit like this in Mexico but it failed. So it isn't a 'solution' that can be exported.
Even with increasing gun control in Canada many Canadians are wanting to get armed. Also many Canadians disagree with thr brazen and sweeping bans on so many rifles.
So what is the US getting from all this? If the US is the one paying a massive bill for the whole thing and not saying the increasingly burdened taxpayer even more.
I guess it is all the kickbacks that Trump is getting.
The guy is a fucking dictator. Dictators can do whatever the hell they want. In the lead up to the Iraq war, Saddam was accused of locking tons of innocent people up. In an attempt to placate this, he ordered all prisoners to be released. All Iraqi prisons were empty and prisoners were set free. Even the ones that abso-fucking-lutely did things that are criminal in any society (ex: murder and armed robbery), it didn't help his international reputation in the slightest.
That fucker could release all of the prisoners sent to him on a whim.
We fucking need a Star Wars Alex Jones insisting that Alderaan was not destroyed but it was faked, and the empire wanted to blame it on the rebellion (who are both good and evil depending on if he had a large chili bowl that day).
Always announced never implemented.
Trump is like an idiot bully who insists he commands ten big thugs! No twenty! No thirty and with guns! No thirty with guns and grenades and a tank!
They mean nothing.
But they are providing ample opportunity for places like China to show that they DO have real power.
