Ivanka Trump has actually been keeping a lower profile in general for months. She hasn’t been as visible in the White House, in meetings or photo-ops or world-travels or anything. She’s still around, to be clear. But you can definitely feel that she’s made a conscious choice to step back, or maybe John Kelly and Donald Trump have made some conscious choices to push Ivanka and Jared Kushner out of the spotlight. Considering that Jared is a target of the Mueller investigation and that Ivanka may be targeted too, it’s a pretty wise choice. Except that Ivanka just can’t f–king help herself. She posted the above photo on her social media on Sunday – a photo of herself posing with one of her children.
So, just another “happy family” image for all of the Deplorables, right? The problem is that Ivanka posted this in the midst of the news that her father’s administration LOST almost 1,500 immigrant children, and that the Trump administration’s official f–king policy is to take babies and children away from their immigrant parents at the border.
Reports of federal authorities losing track of nearly 1,500 immigrant children in their custody. Scathing criticism over children being taken from their migrant parents at the border. Proposed rallies. In the past week, outrage about treatment of children taken into U.S. custody at the Southwest border has reached a fever pitch, exploding in a barrage of tweets and calls to action with the hashtags #WhereAreTheChildren and #MissingChildren.
During a Senate committee hearing late last month, Steven Wagner, an official with the Department of Health and Human Services, testified that the federal agency had lost track of 1,475 children who had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border on their own (that is, unaccompanied by adults) and subsequently were placed with adult sponsors in the United States. As the Associated Press reported, the number was based on a survey of more than 7,000 children:
“From October to December 2017, HHS called 7,635 children the agency had placed with sponsors, and found 6,075 of the children were still living with their sponsors, 28 had run away, five had been deported and 52 were living with someone else. The rest were missing, said Steven Wagner, acting assistant secretary at HHS.”
The feds literally “lost” 1500 children, and the feds are currently ripping children and babies out of their parents’ arms as they try to cross the border. The children are put into what can only be described as “internment camps” (see below). Of the 1500 lost children, it’s more than possible that they were given to human traffickers because OH RIGHT THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. All of this is the context for Ivanka Trump’s complicit ass posting a photo of a loving white mommy being cute with her white baby. Ivanka could have hashtagged it #OnlyWhiteChildrenMatter and the point would have been the f–king same.

Did you hear about the illegal immigrant who was shot and killed by border patrol? First they said she was armed with a rock I think then they changed it to unarmed. Shot and killed an unarmed woman.
I saw images of them taking their water and pouring it out in front of them, not letting them cross so they would die of dehydration in the desert. Every day there’s a new story that makes me want to cry
I am the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. All I can think about is how my dad and his older brother were ripped away from his mother and younger brother, who were sent to the ovens. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NAZI GERMANY!! WTF IS HAPPENING HERE???
If any of you follow Jill Wine-Banks on Twitter, you know she has been posting some of “Dr. Suess'” cartoons that he did about Hitler at the time, and it is absolutely bone-chilling how apt they are for what is going on right now.
It’s really not the same as the Holocaust. Factually speaking, our laws are being broken first off, then taken advantage of by people simply pouring into America during “catch and release”. My small town’s economy is ruined with illegal immigrants from south of the border. I’m an high school educated person and can’t get a job in the service industry. I wish i had an huge college resume, but I don’t; I’ve always survived with retail, restaurants or cleaning. “Those jobs” no longer pay well nor have decent working conditions. I know educated folks are all about letting in the asylum seekers, but for me and my ilk, immigration really is a problem. I’m not a “deplorable” either, I’m a democrat, maybe even liberal. Losing kids is horrible, but the deterrent hopefully will work.
@Snowflake, yes, and all I could feel was a low-level anger mixed with numbness because of everything that this administration is constantly throwing at us.
I know that this is exactly what they want, to overwhelm and desensitize us, but I don’t know how to counter that. I am so, so tired of this sh!t since his campaign even started.
Resisting is getting harder and harder. They’re winning. It’s sickening.
ETA @Snazzy, I didn’t see that story about the water, and that is a level of cruelty that makes me want to weep. What makes these people so horrific??
@Loreilei IKWYM, but we can’t give up. Find the video Noam Chomsky put out this month talking about Trumpster Fatigue and watch it.
Ignore “him” – it’s part of their plan to distract everyone to what they’re really doing. Don’t share posts about what he said. If news outlets didn’t get the reaction he generates, they wouldn’t cover him as much. Instead, watch your local Senators and Congressmen. Make note of how they vote & who they get contributions from and share stories about that. We cannot rollover – the alternate reality they want us to live in is not acceptable!
If you were curious who would become our version of the SS, ICE won the job.
‘Undocumented,’ please and thank you. 🙂
Yes! People commit illegal acts. They are not inherently illegal. Otherwise there would be a heck of a lot of illegals in the this administration!
At this point why does anyone want to come to our shithole country? America is an ugly an violent place.
Exactly!!! I have entertained thoughts of leaving myself. I cannot even imagine if this evil orange turd gets elected again…
I keep thinking back to his vile and violent rallies. Back then I thought… this is not who America is. Well, I was wrong. It is who America is and I feel so ashamed every damn day.
The US has been a violent and ugly place for people of color from the beginning. Recently, it was just hidden in the shadows. Social media and 24/7 news coverage has simply made the ugliness visible to more white people. We can be better and we should be, but right now, we are not.
I’ve thought about leaving, but I’ve thought more about finding a way to get my teenager out – sending her to school outside the US and hoping that becomes a path to emigration for her is looking more and more likely. The 2020 election will happen as she is starting to look at colleges and that will almost certainly be a deciding factor for her. She speaks some Spanish – enough that if she were to live in Spain or Latin America for a short period of time she would become fluent quickly. We also have family in Australia who would take her in. It’s a horrifying thought for someone whose grandfather arrived in the US with the Nazis hot on his heels.
Then leave.
CamoTime, how easy is it really to just leave when your government mistreats you? Spoiler alert: that’s exactly what these people are trying to do! Do you really not even hear yourself?
Sparkly, I can say the same for you. I love this country and a proud to be American and fro a military family. If you are not happy to be here, off on your way. Have you lived elsewhere? I have. I invite you to go live in another county to see how it compares. EVERY country has problems and every government does things people do not agree with. Do you not even hear yourself?
…
^ That’s the point, and way down here is your head. You can’t say the same for me. What you say only reiterates my point.
Its disgusting. These are children for god’s sake. I just dont understand how ppl cant have any empathy and understanding. Does no one understand/care that things must be pretty bad if you are willing to uproot your family/life and literally walk across countries to find safety?! So many anti immigrant ppl are so high and mighty like they somehow earned their “spot” here. Um, no! Especially with the way this country is going, you could just as easily be next. Fleeing to Canada or anywhere else. I 100% think our immigration policies need review and change but imo illegal immigration and immigration are 2 different issues. 1 is a humanitarian issue and the other is legal. This country just sinks lower and lower every day. I truly am becoming ashamed to be an American.
In the moment I saw the photo my first thought was: What a disgusting piece of nothing this XXI century’s nazi family is.
I truly hope they all rot in hell
#wherearethechildren
I hope they all suffer long term, excruciating pain before they rot in hell.
Well said. I was coming to say how much I loathe this complicit conniving piece of trash but you stated it far better
^^^^^THIS… ALL DAY.
I truly feel such shame at being American, and lumped in with this bunch. I still cannot believe this is happening; even now, it is surreal to me, and I am just so damned tired and defeated.
Jan90067-you’re really imqrious2?Oh my,I love your comments on here,I obviously had no idea you are the child of Holocaust survivors…what a story you must have,I think of what strong people you come from.I would love to hear the stories you could tell.I have no knowledge of my birth mother or her family except to have recently learned she has ashkenazi jewish heritage,it explains my health conditions and may explain why my heart and intellect have always been driven towards the European Jewish community.Blessings to you and those you love and of course to all immigrants and their children now and always.
She’s a piece of work, isn’t she?
That sums it up.
Thats Complicit Barbie for you……
More like Genocide Barbie…
I am from Serbia. And I am aware of picture that Americans have of my country. But something like this would never happend here. I am so sorry for that children and your country. Please, do not let that nazi shit all over again.
The Americans who read this page understand the difficult history of your country.
The US has been sliding toward a very dangerous form of nationalism for some time, even before Trump. It’s accelerating under Trump. Peter Maass, who was a correspondent in the Balkans in the 90’s, mentions our nationalism in his epilogue to his book Love thy Neighbor, that we shouldn’t think that what happened in Yugoslavia was somehow unique or that Americans are immune to it. It wasn’t, and we’re not.
Eh nothing will happen anyways. Banana republic will continue to bf the worst and the world will move on without us. If we don’t start a War first. Good times.
Yes, however I’m sorry to say that in some banana republics we do not do this. We do not hold children captive, we do not lose children under federal programs, we do not deport parents and hold their children under key and lock, we do not deport immigrant parents with their citizen children.
WTF is wrong with the US, I don’t know but I hope someone makes it stop before your President is charged with the violation of Human Rights.
This is what I don’t understand. Why are we keeping the children here and detaining them, but sending the parents back without their children? I’ve always heard nasty things about how cps is just legal human trafficking. Is this what is going on? I mean wtf is this? I’m so ashamed and disgusted by my country. Absolutely disgusted. I’m about ready to pack up and become an immigrant myself.
@Cee – I hope he is charged. Maybe it will be the thing that gets rid of him for us. The fact that is going on already means he should be charged, but I doubt we’ll get the pleasure. He seems to skate by on everything. He’s like a persistent skid mark that won’t wash away.
Please god, someone charge him. Seems like our own government won’t hold him accountable so maybe someone else will have the common decency to do it.
@Person3514 hmmm given Trump’s close ties and support for Jeffrey Epstein (post conviction, I believe), there’s a part of me who actually wonders if there are people in the government profiting from selling these kids to traffickers
there’s also a part of me who wonders if these kids will be raised & groomed to become “secret police” a la Nicolae Ceausescu
I just hope that, when the deplorables gain full control, Ivanka is not immune and is forced to personally pay a price to understand exactly what she helped usher in and protect. Of course, the second she or her family may have to deal with anything – she’ll suddenly announce she’s really a nice, Protestant, Aryan Princess who’s conversion was a youthful indiscretion for show
This is horrifying. Rot in hell, Ivanka.
Like how do you lose 1500 children then say you care about the lives of children.
Not to mention Emperor Baby Fists tried to blame Democrats for this policy of separating children from their parents! The cognitive dissonance is just shocking.
Yeah. Where are all those evangelical Christians now? You know, the ones who value life. Oh that’s right…silent. Complicit. Not so Christian after all. Just faux Christians.
No, they are who Xians have always been.
Between this, the endless scams like Trump Soho & Azerbaijan, the campaigning for child torture, sorry “conversion therapy”, advocate Mike Pence and the Traitor Nunes, the human rights abuses at her garment factories and the refusal to condemn her father for praising the “fine people” whose end game is to fill the lungs of her own children with Zyklon B, it’s pretty obvious that Palestine Slaughter Barbie is 100% her father, only in a package extensively surgically altered to be marginally prettier.
What is the upside for her, though, to posting it on purpose?
Don’t get me wrong, I think her father is the devil incarnate and was nauseous over these stories and photos all weekend, but I can’t see any potential benefit for her? Isn’t is possible that she’s clueless and not very bright? (Actually we know for a fact neither she or her husband are exactly brain trusts.)
Either way, she’s disgusting and she should have removed the photo because at best it was in extremely poor taste considering the circumstances.
I feel like even if I was a Deplorable, seeing photos of children being treated like that would anger me – but maybe I overestimate the Deplorables and they enjoyed seeing this side-by-side in their feeds with the other outrageous photos of those poor children.
I like to think that these people at least have a conscience when it comes to small children. : (
Not if they are children of colour. Racist flags are flying high friend – coloured people are not people, therefore, their children are not people either. Who cares if they are in camps? We are watching a Nazi Germany revival and it’s HORRIBLE
Snazzy- ITA. It’s no coincidence that Trump has been saying these children are “not innocent” as well. He’s giving the deplorables the perfect excuse for not feeling any sympathy or outrage.
Remember, Deplorables only care about UNBORN children. They don’t give a flying f@$* what happens to them after they are born, expecially if they don’t have milky-white skin.
While some may indeed have a conscious, most do not. They are filled with hate. They excuse this behavior by stating “well what they were doing is illegal. They shouldn’t be breaking the law.” One of my friends on fb is very liberal and I always see his conservative family arguing with him. I’ve seen him post about this and that is literally what they all echo. That they shouldn’t try to come here illegally and it’s the risk they decided to take. Deplorable was too kind a word for these people.
I point out that if the government takes the kid, the government is responsible for the kid. Inmates in the US have visitation rights and if the kid is in state custody, the state must care for the kid and inform the parent where the kid is. The state is financially liable for any harm that comes to the kid. What Trump & Nagini is doing violates our laws, human rights, and all standards of decency and morals.
This is the third picture she has posted of this kid in as many days. On Friday, she posted 2 pictures of him at the White House, in one of them, she’s wearing a skirt so short and slit so high that it’s only proper professional setting would be as part of a figure skater’s costume; the kid is wearing a bib. In the other, they’re having “lunch” but the kid is no longer wearing the bib and the kid’s plate contains more food, broccoli and salmon, than the average two year old would consume in a week. The pictures are all taken by White House staff, that means we paid for this, including the broccoli and salmon the kid didn’t eat.
In this picture, supposedly the kid upon waking up, he’s wearing fresh looking clothes that don’t look slept in, his hair is neat. His carefully mis-matched prints coordinate with her mismatched prints and there is absolutely no sign of an actual morning household in the picture. Because all of our morning candid shots are devoid of furnishings and clutter. This photograph was posed and professionally taken. Most likely using our tax money yet again.
She pulls this crap all the time. It’s to distract from whatever evil they’re doing. A desperate attempt to humanize and normalize her. And a loud wolf whistle to their followers. Never mind those dirty, dark, foreign women with their screaming, dust-covered kids. This is how perfect mothers and their perfect kids should look.
She pulled this same crap when daddy’s Muslim ban went into effect. TV screens filled of images of women in hijab, tired from long flights being given the distressing news that they cannot enter contrasted with the image of Nagini in a low-cut silver evening gown with her husband groping her ass.
She’s a beast. Can’t wait until Mueller comes for her. I hope the arresting FBI agents aren’t gentle with her.
The resurfacing of the superficial “cute mommy” photos could be a way to play victim with the base.
When I see a photo like that (artistic vs. authentic), I imagine a nanny just out of camera range ready to take the child back.
Right on.
Interesting, too, that this Norman Rockwell display coincides with news that her company finally got the China trademarks its been after…and the decision came suspiciously close to Trump’s announcement about saving Chinese mobile manufacturer ZTE.
(And yes! The mis-matched-yet-matchy prints! Noticed that, too. :-))
Well this picture was obviously tone deaf given what is happening now. So inappropriate. It’s like she’s trolling those poor people.
I loathe her. Remember that there was a time when threads on Ivanka Trump were more sympathetic than threads on Beyonce or Blue Ivy. “He’s her father, she has no choice…” What a trip white privilege is, y’all.
My heart is breaking for those kids, separated from their families and absolutely terrified….to be then treated by stray dogs and locked in cages. I hope Ivanka is proud of herself as a mother, because she has done NOTHING else she can ever be proud of when it comes to this administration.
I’m sure she is proud of everything the administration has done.
They were put into facilities when they came on their own… with no parents. They were not taken away from parents who were crossing with them under any other administration. Unaccompanied minors were typically older as well, not infants and toddlers.
So…you’ve missed the several hundred stories pointing out that this flaming dumpster of poo administration is now splitting up families that arrive at the border together?
Robot dog, I was responding to a comment that is no longer here that stated that the separation of children from their parents began under Obama.
No coincidence that Chelsea Clinton was calling her out for complicity this weekend. This whole family makes me ill.
Yes I saw that and this is her reply to Chelsea’s criticism. She really is as stupid as daddy.
I guess they aren’t friends anymore.
Say what you will about Chelsea, but she is far from stupid. She is not about to risk her reputation by playing nice with Ivanka anymore.
I wonder if Trump knew about the missing kids when he tweeted that the democrats are at fult for kids being taken from their parents. Its f’ing ridiculous.
Grifter Barbie may be the coldest, cruelest person in this entire administration. As someone wrote, she never lets the pinprick of guilt or compassion affect her re: her father’s monstrous policies.
Her job is to prettify an ugly administration. As drump treats our allies and the world as hapless contestants on his reality show, Grifter Barbie is continuing her role of stepping in via Instagram to make things look pleasant. Problem is she is really ugly too.
Where it counts the most: on the inside. I am in Canada and even I was extremely irked at what she did at the Olympic Games. What the hell was she doing there, to take rude advantage of photo ops with the athletes? She had ZERO business being seen with them or even on camera. Ugh.
Republican base does not care. I do not mean the traditional republicans, I mean Trumps base. They do not care. Neither for these kids nor the unarmed lady shot at the border.
Will Dems show up in force in Nov?
And I do not mean a slim majority, I mean enough to tie Trump’s hands and block his every move. I don’t want him impeached or removed from office early because then we’ll have Pence who is far more insidious – and when you think about it much of Trump’s incompetence/hubris has impeded him this year. I don’t think we’ll find the same serendipity with a President Pence.
Anyway, I just want Trump neutered. And then to lose in 2020.
As for this pic, is speaks volumes regarding race, socioeconomic status, elitism, etc.
Cosign this totally. VOTE! Get involved and get people out to vote. Drive people to the polls, give money to GOTV operations and the let america vote organizers, the end gerrymandering organizations and the democratic AGs.
Surgically neutered, or would you prefer chemical castration?
Surgically…with a dull spoon, and NO anesthesia!
If Trump’s hands get tied he will revert to his petulant child routine and quit. So, win, win either way.
I have a plan. Not quite neutering but hear me out.
All companies manufacturing erectile disfunction medication need to be infiltrated and all replaced with placebos. All these old men will be permanently distracted. And you know Trump would need that medication. He’d be out of his mind, or more so. Second plan, White House chefs need to cook fat- laden foods, served with deep-fried everything and lots and lots of full-fat cream.
Their white nationalism is on full show here. She is Daddy’s little racist. When I saw this I had flashback to what I was taught at school about Nazi propaganda – this is exactly the same. She is showing the world that only white children matter to her father and his administration.
Agree, but ultimately I think she is saying she only matters.
Both she and Jailbird got their security clearance this week despite their flagrant lying on government financial forms. China awarded her several patents after drump cried about Chinese workers at ZTE.
Grifter Barbie only cares about her family because they reflect her importance. Someone like Grifter has no problem putting any other child in extreme danger. Human traffickers are her secret friends because everyone else’s child, well it’s just so messy in her mind.
She is propping up drump’s monstrous hatred of others.
They gave 1500 kids to human traffickers?? Wait-wha?? I hope this isn’t true because if it is, these people are monsters. They have no moral compass.
I see exactly what Ivanka is throwing out and it is not cute in the slightest. Last I saw, she was getting dragged hard for that tweet.
She did it on purpose knowing ppl were mad and were going to cuss her, and so she ends up looking like a victim to the base. It all ties in with that ridiculous weekend tweet of 45’s, whining about ‘young and beautiful’ lives being wrecked. God, I hope Mueller’s about to drop some indictments soon, the crazy has been ramping up lately.
Meanwhile, grifter gonna grift:
Ivanka got 13 trademarks the past 3 months from China.
I mean, what the actual f&$k? Criminality right out in the open.
And they continue to do nothing. They sit up there in their paid-for-by-taxes offices, at their paid-for-by-taxes jobs as public servants doing the absolute opposite in the most offensive ways all while quietly jerking off to God only knows, allowing the giant staypuff marshmallow man to crush every single good thing that has ever been accomplished politically all while his deafening and incessant moans and growls are laid bare before our very eyes via Twitter. And still they do nothing. The wrongs being committed are insurmountable at this point and continue to pile day after day after day, and they still sit there doing nothing. There is no such thing as public service anymore. When children are in cages, all hope is lost. I’m despondent.
How do you lose 1500 children? HOW? Someone needs to report this to any Human Rights Org so that charges can be made against Trump and his organisation. The way they’re treating children, endangering them, is atrocious.
Her posing is galling and obnoxious. She thinks she is adorable.
I find her downright nauseating. I can’t stand the sight of her, and I’m Canadian. I feel so badly for Americans with this MESS of a family.
She gives off serious Marie Antoinette vibes. Whether she is truly cold and calculating or an absolute clueless moron I can’t really tell. But she’s eating her cake and instagramming it while her country is going to hell. “Off with her head” I say.
No. From what I know, Marie Antoinette was not particularly cruel or “let them eat cake”-y.
This is straight up -itch of Belsen starter cruelty.
Yeah, wrap some braids around her head and we’d know who she is.
Let’s hope she suffers the same fate!
I was watching a 2016 French series called ‘Résistance’ on the weekend. Well worth watching. It’s about young people combating the Germans in Vichy France. I was struck at how similar Vichy France is to Trump’s America, with so many collaborators propping up evil.
That photo makes me sick. Words cannot describe how horrible this family is. Why anyone thought Ivanka was different is beyond me. Yes, her surgically altered face is pretty & the phony baby voice may sound nice to some.. Like everything else with this family; a big con. Karma’s a bitch; she’ll have her children ripped from her arms when she hauled off to federal prison.
I wonder if her children will be put in cages or given to sex traffickers?
She looks just like her Frankensteinian older brother to me. All that $$$ spent, and the ugly just seeps right back out.
Even after all of the horror that has transpired over the last 1.5 years, this makes me sick to my stomach in a way nothing else has. I am supposed to bring my two young children to visit my mother in North Carolina next month and I honestly just want to cancel the whole thing. I know we are white and Canadian and not intending to stay so we are pretty assuredly safe, but I still feel genuinely terrified to cross the border as an LGBT family and I definitely hate the idea of contributing any tourism money to a country that would allow something like this. I have essentially been raised part time in the US since my mother moved there when I was 12 and I have so many loved ones there, but I don’t know that I can justify setting foot in a country that allows these types of atrocities to occur.
She is pure propaganda. “America’s princess” in her and her daddy’s minds. She posts pretty pictures of her pure white family and Trump’s minions and the white nationalist movement are happy as pigs in crap. Who cares about those brown kids missing or being torn from their families? They have the ultimate representation of white womanhood showing off her kid. She’s just as vile and disgusting as her father.
Isn’t it ironic that they claim to be Jewish?
That got them a few more votes, too.
They are Jewish, but their corruption, greed and inhumanity don’t reflect the Jewish values they purport to share.
A lot like the “good Christians” thing, they exploit the best in order to perpetrate the worst.
I want to try to find some sort of positive view. I hope that is the last photo Ivanka has with her child before she is handcuffed and taken away to answer for her crimes.
I especially hope that some of those 1500 children are now living under names like “John Smith” or “Kaity White”- anything that can get them an advantage and are safe and secure.
The alternatives are too terrible to imagine.
Ivanka is especially EVIL. This Instagram proves it. Spoiled, tone deaf, and complicit. This is a giant F@CK YOU to those parents and children being ripped away from each other.
I really hope all forms of social media crucify her for this. She is vile.
Exactly. It’s more than being complicit or tone deaf… she’s actively EVIL
This is NOT okay! I’m gutted for those children. This makes me want to pack a bag and race across the country to AZ and pretend like I could help the kids. This can’t be happening. Who allowed this to happen?!
The 1500 kids were not in Federal custody. They were in the custody of relatives. The government did not lose them, they are not missing. The Feds can’t account for them because the relatives aren’t telling them where they are. That’s it. It’s not some nefarious Trump/Republican conspiracy to sell kids to human traffickers.
What they are doing with the kids they’re ripping out of parents arms at the border now, I have no idea, but these are two separate things.
Not all of them were placed with relatives. HHS sends unaccompanied kids to detention centers and shelters run by organizations like Catholic Charities. The social workers there attempt to find relatives who might be willing to care for these kids, but if none are located, they can and often do place them with foster families or really any adults they deem fit to care for kids. HHS and the charities they work with do virtually nothing to track the kids once they are transferred out of custody or into foster care. They also could not care less if the kids run away from shelters or foster homes. And that is exactly how you lose 1500+ kids.
It’s not their job to keep track of kids who have been released to relatives or foster care, the kids aren’t on any type of probation. The kids are NOT in Fed custody and they are not their kids to misplace. That’s my point, the HHS is being blamed for something that isn’t their doing and the media is happily going along with it. Of course all agencies involved could do a better job of keeping track, but I’m assuming there’s never enough money for everyone to do their jobs perfectly.
I know I’m being a bit pedantic about this, but we now have people Tweeting and FBing saying Trump is handing kids over to pedophiles and sex traffickers. Why is it our common sense doesn’t believe Hilary is running a child prostitution ring out of a pizza parlor, but yet we have no problem jumping to this conclusion if it’s Trump?
@KiddV. Thank you for your balanced information. We need to be more discerning with the context of the news and not follow the (frankly) hysreical biased media. And I am not a Trump fan. It is just that this issue is more complex than one thinks.
This story makes me so sick and angry I get dizzy from rage thinking about it. The cruelty and pure evil of it is breathtaking. #wherearethechildren
Sit your Serena Waterford ass down. I can’t f’ing wait for Jared to be indicted.
While I agree that Ivanka was ignorant to post this photo during a very tense time involving illegal immigration, I think the real evil ones are the so called leaders of the countries from which these people are fleeing. The USA cannot take in everyone who wants in – especially if they are attempting to enter the country illegally. There are immigration laws for a reason and its not right or fair to allow those crossing illegally into the country while others have spent years and a lot of money to enter legally. There needs to be a way to fix the countries from which these people originate.
That being said, there is no excuse or reason to lose 1500 children nor to detain children of adults crossing illegally. Find the missing children and send the children back with their families.
The missing children were taken from parents who were trying to enter legally through the refugee or asylum process.
No, the real evil ones are the Trump administration.
Considering how much the USA got involved in other countries and spread hate and “democracy”, I think it’s fair that the country takes his share into welcoming refugees.
We have this saying in French, that I’ll try to translate “We cannot welcome all the misery in the world… But we must take our part” (sounds really bad, sorry).
@Laura No actually the real evil is the US and this despicable administration. And I pray to the fucking gods that the US won’t try to “fix” any country ever.
To reinforce what lightpurple said, these are parents fleeing danger who are following the legal asylum request process. There is no reason to separate parents and children but for wanton cruelty and to terrorize people, both residing in the USA and outside.
These are not “illegal immigrants” by any stretch of the imagination.
That is what the Trump regime wants you to believe, but they are wrong.
The Nazis wanted people to think that Jews were filthy animals and a lot of people believed them, too. Please be aware of what is being done with language.
There are 2 sets of groups being conflated, from what I’ve read. One is the children assigned to sponsors, often older children who came by themselves, who have “gone missing.” That might be okay if their sponsors are good people and they are all trying to stay away from government attention, given the current climate. The others are children being separated from their parents at the border when the parents come to start the asylum process, which is completely legal. The USA has offered refuge for years and now it is treating those refugees as criminals. There is no reason to separate those families. And there is deep concern about any children in the former group who may have been sold to slavers.
Yea! Thank you!
Ivanka is the distilled essence of her father’s racism. And her mother’s. Let’s not forget that Ivanna raised these kids. Trump has admitted that he left that to her. She is doing nothing to stop them.
I remain disgusted by this family.
I heard complicit Barbie is coming to Fresno next month to stump do traitor Nunes’ relection rally. I hope someone lobs rotten tomatoes at them.
Aaahhh! Trumpsters are the stupidest idiots in the world. My neighbor was just visiting and bitched about Chelsea Clinton giving a speech without honoring veterans, but she had no problems with Trump having to pat himself on the back in his Memorial Day tweet. According to my neighbor, these 1500 missing children are fine because they’re ALL with family, and us liberals are making a big deal out of nonsense. JFC, what is wrong with these morons?!
Tone deaf and awful. The whole separation of the kids, like torture for the parents. Awful, awful, awful!!
Grifter Barbie is getting desperate.
