How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out. - ThreadSky

This literally makes me ill.

Even worse than the Tariffs, is the assault on democracy. This erodes the very foundation of society. And can have devastating effects on people.

Maybe you should look at what America did in the 1930s, where they removed 2 million people who were 70% American citizens to Mexico. And 60% of that number were children.
