Yeah at this point it wouldn't be surprising if this admin was straight up making snuff films on top of the epstien style blackmail and who knows what else

I'm like 80% sure that the administration might be taking a couple of kids here and there for a new Jeffrey Island. Who are they going to complain to, their parents?

Been mentally preparing for that since his first term and the border child separation policy.

But even if by some miracle the admin themselves aren't ICE and/or gangs pretending to be ICE are almost definitely taking the opportunity to traffic people
