Scary. The incoming government won’t listen to the good people.

Extremely scary.

The newspaper headlines read, “Time To Get Tough” and “Mass Deportation.”

While not suggesting open borders, the Church is becoming more unified in speaking out in defense of migrants.

They recently falsely claimed that a group of black people in Springfield were puppy-eating savages. Turned a town into chaos, and incited death threats and bomb threats against innocent families whose only crime was existing.

And the last time they had power, they actually DID tear crying babies from the arms of their screaming mothers.

So since they are clearly NOT decent people, it’s up to the rest of us to oppose them.

Is the cartoonist seeking redemption now after having supported the orange deporter as the champion of pro-lifers before the elections?

We see through your plan.

Trump wants ICE to be able to invade the sanctuary of churches.

ICE better have a warrant with specific names on it to get into my church. Otherwise I am calling 911 and telling them “There are men with guns on my property and they won’t leave.”

Trump is today’s Herod.

“I’ll be your retribution.”

Herod was hunting them down because Jesus was the king of Israel, and Herod was on His throne, placed there by the Romans, this is why His lineage was listed, and this is why Herod crucified Him

You don’t see newspapers much other than in the comics. I guess they’re easier to draw than an iPad.

There is no historical evidence that Herod the Great ordered a slaughter of newborns.

However, he did have the temperament to do it. He ordered a great “reconciliation feast” to gather all his relatives and when they came, he had them executed so that there would be no threat to his throne.

I know, it’s a lot like not treating one sex equally for over 2,000 years.
