The Trump HOSTAGE STANDOFF. Donald Trump, kidnapper in chief, will release the hostages in exchange for $25 BILLION to build a wall that he promised Mexico would pay for.
Turns out the child trafficking wasn’t Hillary in a pizza parlor.
Now children are being ripped from the arms of mothers who are LEGALLY presenting themselves to border officers at official points of entry to request asylum and sent to tent city concentration camps.
Private, for-profit contractors get MULTI-MILLION dollar contracts to take those kids. And, surprise! surprise! The child traffickers are Trump donors and cronies getting millions of dollars in profits off children wrongly seized from legal parents!
Really Mr. Luckovich? You actually think the Trump administration would have the decency to tell the parents even this much information about theirs kids?
It is a sign of great weakness to punish the powerless for such a minor transgression. Where are our constitutional advocates on from the right now? I guess if cruel and unusual punishment were part of the second amendment we’d hear more.
We didn’t “take” – most of the parents either SENT them or TOOK them here, knowing full well that there was a big chance they’d be separated, based on policies in place since LONG BEFORE Trump took office. How can so many fall for this?
SClarke I agree we should Take the children of anyone that breaks the law. Immigration law, Tax law, Traffic Law, Building permits. hey the Law is the Law right? I mean Jeff Sessions said it is our Christian duty to obey the law. If we violate that law the State gets to choose whatever punishment they think is right. The Romans chose Crucifixion.
What’s with “took”… government kidnapping is more apt. The question remains though what is trumps government going to do with the kids.. sell them to the highest bidder.. A new class of “aliens”?

The ransom is Mexico paying for the wall?

And somehow this is okay with the bulk of the right. Come on Canada, separate a U.S. family.

This is unrealistic. Why try to conceal your identity? Trump administration henchmen just declare that what they’re doing is legal.

Didn’t the Sec of Commerce testify that he could find any and every child with only a few keystrokes?
Why don’t they wake him and ask him?

The Trump admin is also blocking people who are applying for admittance to the USA legally.

But it was fine for our ancestors to steal this land and murder the inhabitants because we are good Christian people!
