1. Normally not my favorite NPR talking head......in this case? bravo Steve.

[CrispyQ]

3. Interesting cuz I saw the exact quote attributed to Heather Cox Richardson.

But it makes a point.

[erronis]

7. And most of us have thought exactly the same thing.

We all know they are lying. Constantly. Awake/asleep. In private conversations or public presentations.

They don't know how to get back on the truth wagon - it would require a complete rewiring of their brains. And we know that people of this bent don't know how to update their software.

20. well, if you're going to plagiarize, steal from the best.

It can't be that old a quote - if anyone wants to check HC Richardson to see if you find it, her Substack is here:

I subscribe (for free) but I'm behind on reading so ir means nothing that I haven't seen it there.

21. You may have responded to the wrong post. But I'm always glad to get any feedback I can!

[soldierant]

22. LOL! I probably did. But I'm so happy to know that Van Hollen was able to meet

with Abrego Garcia right now I don't care. It's all good.

[maxsolomon]

16. And it's probably not from either of them.

Like the fake Martha Stewart quote that was floating around DU the last couple days.

Inskeep is too aware of NPR's precarious footing to editorialize so freely, and HCR doesn't speak in questions.

30. Here's his tweet:

31. Well, that was intemperate.

NPR was going to lose funding anyway so I guess he's going for it.

[calimary]

23. Hey, I like it no matter who said it!

29. She was quoting Steve Inskeep:

Letters from an American

April 14, 2025
Heather Cox Richardson

[...]

As NPR’s Steven Inskeep put it: “If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”

4. Agreed... In This Case... Dead On Point!

[Cherokee100]

11. Why doesn't

Why doesn't the draft dodger/benedict donald/pedifile, just buy El Salvador?

[BOSSHOG]

2. What Steve Said

Theatre for the absurd. No doubt stupid people understand it. Very simple. A real honest to goodness President of the United States would never have allowed it to happen in the first place.

[rubbersole]

5. "Oopsie...too late."

To quote El Salvador's cool dictator, retweeted by Lil' Marco.

Karma, bitches. Karma.

[ShazzieB]

6. Brilliant!

[Quakerfriend]

8. Someone posted that funny how T47 could

spring the human trafficking Tate brothers from Romania but, can’t get Abrego Garcia freed.

[Cha]

9. WOW.. well Put!!

[Blue Owl]

15. What a fucking strong man Diarrhea Donny is!

[Cha]

18. Beaten Down by el presidente Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez.

How ironic.

[liberalla]

10. EXCELLENT!

Most excellent!

[Iamscrewed]

12. Irony

Stupid comedic ironic BS

[flashman13]

13. Yes, your understanding is correct.

[Blue Owl]

14. K&R

[zentrum]

17. Every authoritarian regime as...

...it climbs to total control must have private prisons. Rump is paying a lot of money to El Salvadore to accept many future prisoners.

Just watch.

19. I thought we elected Al Capone but turned out to be Snidely Whiplash

[Mme. Defarge]

27. FORMIDABLE!!!

Meant in both its French and English meanings.

[Ping Tung]

28. He's afraid that El Salvador will launch it's overwhelming fleet to invade Malibu or Palm Beach.

Quick! Build us more Walls!
