Oopsy woopsy, 45 lost 545 migrant children

You know when you set something down and you swear you could have known where it was, then 15 minutes later you can find it again? Like your keys, or your phone, or the 545 children you ripped from the arms of their parents?

Let's make a bet. Will these kids be found in sex trafficking rings that QAnon's holy warriors pretend to care about, or in a mass grave? I'll offer you good odds.

I mean, this man is a freakin' pig. Kinda almost makes me happy I voted for Mr. Biden. Almost. 'Cause nothing will really get done, but at least this isn't likely to happen. Probably.

I'll put $25 on never being found again

Make prostitution legal. Too many democrats and republicans fear it will just destroy our "traditional" nuclear family, but honestly, I think the benefits outweigh any potential costs. Besides, it's not like these people are going to them lookin' for more. It's purely transactional, and the "concept" of love we have for our American families is pure fantasy. It's a cute fantasy, don't get me wrong. A cute one. But also fictional. Real life hardly ever works out like the movies show it, even in the olden days of yore with classical romance. Life is not a soap opera. :lol:

So yes, I think legalize prostitution, these pedo rings would be hit hard. But what do I know?

Plus worker's rights and benefits, safety standards, minimum wages, taxable revenue! It's a service industry, let's start treating it like one.

AND let's start treating the service industries better, eh?

Won't work. People aren't raping children because they fear the consequences of hiring a prostitute.

Honestly, yeah... Still not a bad idea, but the right one to combat this issue.

Decriminalizing sex work is the answer to things like police fucking sex workers and then arresting them so they don't have to pay for the sex. It won't stop the president and other Epstein buddies.

This headline is misleading. These specific children aren't missing. They were all put in white foster homes as part of Trump's desire to brainwash them into good little Republicans.

Their PARENTS are unable to be found, because they were deported back to whatever country they hailed from and very probably killed by whatever danger they were fleeing.
