The Trump administration provoked horror this week with the suggestion that the United States could be turned into a paradise if over a quarter of the people in the country were deported.

On Wednesday, the official social media account for the Department of Homeland Security posted a piece of artwork depicting a pink late-1960s Cadillac Eldorado parked on a bright, idyllic beach. Over the clear blue sky are the words “America after 100 million deportations.”

The post was captioned by the agency: “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”

Social media users later discovered that DHS had, ironically, stolen the image from the Japanese pop artist Hiroshi Nagai without giving credit.

Tally all the POC (and Jews--or at least those who voted for Democrats- if he thinks he can get by with it) and lo and behold, 100 million people! A census numerical coincidence, I'm sure.

I cannot even discuss my subconscious dreams anymore, but they are rarely as peaceful as in prior years. Sigh...

bankrupting America. The rich and the corporations don't pay enough in taxes to keep the country going, deport all the people paying those taxes and what is the result? How much will the Republicans let this crazy man and his mis-administration do to damage or destroy our once great country?

NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!!

Put Don Jr and Eric in the fields picking crops.
Ivanka goes to work in the hotel industry changing linens and cleaning rooms
Barron works construction as a day laborer doing the heavy work for very little pay
Stephen Miller washes dishes in a restaurant
Kristi Noem works as a Nanny and Housekeeper for a rich family raising brats and looking down on "The Help".
Donald Trump runs his lard ass and cankles off slinging the contents of trash containers into the garbage truck.

Need I go on.... What I would pay to see this.
