All the Keebler Elf can do is quote something from Romans about obeying the laws of the government. I got news for you, elfie, family separation is not the law of the land. Dipshit.

Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart.
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!

(1,009 posts)so along their reasoning, that would mean if the trump admin made a law that children were to be starved or executed, then that would be the will of God to enforce that law. And that enforcement of every law under every dictator is right under the eyes of God.

I find myself thinking relentlessly of leaving this country. Studying rules regarding what one needs to do to live in another country. Losing sleep that what we had is slipping away and the speed is accelerating daily. I thought we had made progress since my childhood in the 1950s. Sadly, I only see that we have regressed to a place I hoped wed never see. 😢
