So, picture this: you’re sitting down, popcorn in one hand, a soda in the other, ready to binge-watch some juicy political drama. Suddenly, you peek at the news and see a headline about Donald Trump shutting down a CNN reporter like a video game boss. Yes, folks, Caitlyn Collins of CNN found herself in a sticky situation while trying to grill Trump and the president of El Salvador about, wait for it, a deported MS-13 gang member. Honestly, even a toddler could see how absurd this whole line of questioning was. It’s like asking if the ice cream truck would swing by your neighborhood to serve broccoli for dinner. Spoiler alert: it’s not gonna happen!

Let’s break it down a bit. Caitlyn asked if President Trump was going to “bring him back.” Ah yes, because nothing says “welcome” to a known gang member quite like a free trip back to the U.S. Seriously, this guy was deported because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time – that time being anywhere near the U.S. If you ask him nicely, maybe he’ll come back and return all the bad stuff he brought with him? Yeah, didn’t think so. It’s not like he’s coming back with a floral arrangement and a peace offering. This is a man linked to one of the most notorious gangs in the world, not exactly a candidate for neighborhood watch!

Now, let’s talk about the judicial system and its baffling decisions. Apparently, a district court judge thought it was a grand idea to compel the U.S. government to bring this guy back. Like, what was he thinking? Maybe the judge thought it was a friendly game of “fetch.” But the Supreme Court quickly stepped in and clarified – nine to nothing – that America doesn’t operate under the “you-can-just-snag-whomever-you-want” rule. It’s nice to know that even the nation’s highest court can roll their eyes sometimes.

What’s truly humorous, though, is that amidst all this chaos, you have the media acting as if they’re trying to save the world by insisting a sovereign nation should accept their felons back—oh, the irony! Those folks at CNN often seem to forget that El Salvador has no obligation to take pointers from the U.S. on how to handle their citizens. Maybe they should pick up the Chilean wine they’re so fond of and chill out for a moment. Just this once, let’s let the other country manage their own game without our interference.

Then there’s the matter of empathy—or is it just plain silliness? It seems that progressives care more about the individuals who are in the U.S. illegally than the citizens living under the law. Imagine trying to house a hungry pet with the neighborhood cat instead of feeding your dog—sure, you might feel good about being a “nice person,” but what’s the point when the dog is still starving? The constant insistence on maintaining empathy for illegal immigrants often feels like they forgot to read the room (or the room’s numerous security cameras).

To wrap things up, it’s clear that the news cycle just loves to keep the absurdity alive and kicking. CNN’s insistence on asking if we’re going to welcome a deported gang member back into the U.S. is akin to asking if we can get a thirteenth helping of dessert after stuffing ourselves at the buffet. We might crave it, but it’s just not on the menu. America is not a dumpster; we’re a nation full of laws and common sense—though sometimes, you’d swear we’ve misplaced both. Let’s just hope the next time a reporter pops up with a question, it’s one that actually makes sense.
