El Salvadorian voters will likely re-elect their current president Nayib Bukele but not before he finishes up a trite internet spat with Squad member Ilhan Omar.

Bukele, who affectionately calls himself the 'world's coolest dictator,' traded barbs with the progressive legislator last week after she posted on X about 'threats to democracy' in El Salvador.

The Central American leader, 42, has spent his time in power cleaning up crime in his country and ensuring that the famously high murder rate plummeted by locking up tens of thousands of violent gang members.

How much money does U.S. send to Latin American countries?
Source: ForeignAssistance.gov.

The United States has long been a major contributor of foreign assistance to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Between FY1946 and FY2021, the United States provided $100.4 billion ($209.9 billion in constant 2021 dollars) of assistance to the region. (Oct 15, 2023)

She is a communist. She has a nerve talking about a “threat to democracy”.

Having shut down gang crime in his country, the guy has a 91% approval rating. No wonder Omar hates him. What does she care. She represents Somalia and has the pirate vote

When Trump gets in Bukele should get a coupla billion just because.

That guy cleaned up not just El Salvador but the US. Those MS-13 commuters used to float in and out of the US. Now they live in barns under lock and key.

We owe him.

Communists love to use the word democracy/democratic. They often use it in the names of the nations they control.

El Salvador is just one jailbreak away from being back where they started.

They should tell the prisoners that escape means “no prisoners” next time.

I won’t post my answer (because I cheated; good thing, I was way off). :^) I’ve seen that one, but that was, hmm, 50 years ago, wow, how’d that happen? :^)

If you’ve watched the documentary on the prison, a jail break is highly unlikely.

Prisoners breaking out unassisted, sure.

A large, heavily armed force assaulting the prison from outside to free their buddies?

Again, have you seen the layout of the prison?

It’s highly unlikely.

Impressive.

But even the most impressive prison may fail if you have enough people subverted on the inside, and big enough militarily-armed assault force on the outside.

Or if a Leftist wins a future election and just pardons them all.

The only truly secure prison for them is Hell.
