Are we great again yet?
Does anyone actually think great again means absolutely no violence and/or threats or tragedies?
All because someone is raging a 5 yo boy got to return. Where is the humanity and compassion? Time for half the country to do some heavy soul searching
What does this mean? Someone's mad at a 5yo who returned to/from. Somewhere? Or someone's mad and it caused a return of a 5yo... It's too early for soul searching, just need clarification, or punctuation... Or more work? 🤷
I went to Valley View Elementary School in Columbia Heights when I was a child. I'm 62 years old now. It's really creepy how ICE was preying on children. I'm glad the child and his father are reunited with their family.
@Nickups let’s ignore the fact a bunch of family was trying to take him and they refused to let them. Wake up and stop being such a cheerleader cause it gives you a personality.
Yall are pro life until something bothers you, then you’re threatening schools and children ?
Whistles make you deaf not blind... Duh
