This is on some prior world view that a sitting Senator would receive the full faith and backing of the US Government. That should anything ill befall them, there would a special kind of hell so furious to pay that world would balk.
How do we think Trump would react if Van Hollen were taken into custody? Would he demand his return? Or would he reward Bukele?
We can’t live under previous assumptions we know no longer hold.
Well said. It’s not like anyone around here is going to be sure to make it known when they are wrong. When he goes and he’s anything less than captured and put in prison, you won’t hear a single peep out of all these people who are so sure today.

I agree with everything you said. None of us knows what might happen.
But for everyone out there screaming “Do something!” (Myself included), this is undoubtedly something.
The alternative is to do nothing in fear of what Trump might do.
That’s what Trump wants. He has the power that he’s given. To acquiesce is to grant him power.
That’s what every law firm and university that’s capitulated to Trump has done, so I’ll support Van Hollen’s open defiance any day of the week.

As soon as I read the headline, I was picturing that footage from Jonestown of the visiting Senators getting shot.
