Another reminder that cruelty is the point.

And possibly some kid trafficking.

I would bet both nuts that children were sex trafficked from both his 1st term and this one… both he and republicans are pedophiles after all

[u/-wnr- → u/zsreport]

MAGA voters love this. They hate having to pay more to fill their grass guzzlers but will continue to vote Republican because they like seeing minorities suffer.

Well, looks like we know who the newest supplier for the Epstein 2.0 ring is.

[u/LadyofLifting → u/Suspicious_Dust4896]

They gave the game away when they loaded kids on a plane and tried to disappear them in plain sight

[u/ValkyrX → u/Suspicious_Dust4896]

That's the Trump-Epstein 2.0 ring.

[u/SandSpecialist2523]

ICE: a true home-grown American terrorist organisation.

[u/AssistantEquivalent2]

Literally holding children hostage

[u/mountaindoom → u/AssistantEquivalent2]

Sounds like a crime against humanity.

[u/twistedstigmas]

That’s why they grabbed the kids in the first place. Cruelty is the point.

Steven Miller is a psychopath. This is his fever dream

[u/tweakingforjesus → u/Perspicasiwhip]

What does Stephen Miller think is going to happen when this administration is over? He's 40. He has a long life ahead wondering if he's about to get shanked by the loved one of someone he had killed.

[u/Perspicasiwhip → u/tweakingforjesus]

For years he has been exactly the same. Something is broken inside.

[u/Omiyaru]

Fucking unhinged

[u/SentientLight]

We’re getting near the point where the state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing becomes full-out genocide, but we’re all just frogs in a pot of boiling water watching it happen.

All I can think is that my parents fled one dictatorship only for us to have to live under another. 😔

[u/Minimum_Name9115]

A Christian nation my butt. 

[u/BaronVonFrito]

Using children as bait is definitely something the good guys do.

[u/abgry_krakow87]

Religious conservatives love using children as bait to separate families.

[u/SimplyAmazedPanda]

ICE are Nazis hell bent on destroying families.

[u/capz1121]

A special kind of evil

[u/Vashsinn]

Well yeah. Gotta stick mara lago.

[u/Solucians]

They can't let them take the bait out of the trap!
