Babies in cages — the real outrage against justice!

Jussie Smollett undermined legitimate concerns about racial and homophobic hate crimes and, in so doing, diminishes the many legitimate concerns that arise from such profiling.

But Smollett is just an actor with no power. Not a reality-star-turned-president who has the actual power to kidnap babies and auction them off to Betsy DeVos’ highest bidders.

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 no, this has NEVER happened before, not under Obama, not under Bush, NEVER … well, until you go all the back to the genocide of original Americans or ripping African American children from slave mothers).

Private, for-profit contractors get MULTI-MILLION dollar contracts to take those kids. And, surprise! surprise! The child traffickers are Trump donors and cronies (including Betsy DeVos and her Bethany Christian Services which is charging US taxpayers $700-750 dollars PER CHILD, PER NIGHT (which should be enough to put each one up in a luxury hotel) for children taken from their parents at the border, and had fostered out scores of them) getting millions of dollars in profits off children wrongly seized from legal parents! And then they also get paid again by the families who adopt OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN.

The Trump HOSTAGE STANDOFF. Donald Trump, kidnapper in chief, will release the hostages in exchange for $25 BILLION RANSOM to build a wall, even though he promised Mexico would pay for the wall.

Yep. Turns out the child trafficking wasn’t Hillary in a pizza shop.

My reaction was similar to the little girl’s when that fakery hit the news. I hope he doesn’t get another acting job until he takes responsibility for his actions.

What an idiot!!!

Smoke and mirrors, folks, just more trumpian smoke and mirrors, to get his low intelligence goobers to believe he is doing anything other then watching FAUX, playing Golf, and snarfing down cheeseburgers.

Fighty McJerkface Trump, always fighting for the wrong the things, what a twit.

Joe Arpaio, one of Trump’s favorite people, not only faked being the victim of an assassination attempt, he arrested a guy for it. James Saville was in jail for four years before they found out that he was arrested for a crime that never happened, but was a hoax by Arpaio. And he’s a right-wing hero.

Or someone could ask, “Who’s Laquan McDonald?”.

gadzooks!

Hey, little kid in the middle… see that pink piece of cloth up there? Why not grab it and give it a big yank!
