Caged

By Baxter

Benedict Donald brought two US soldiers who had been convicted of war crimes — and whom he had pardoned — to a closed-door Republican fundraiser in Florida yesterday.

It makes perfect sense: Trump and the GOP are guilty of crimes against humanity at our southern border, so why shouldn't Trump parade a couple of budding Slobodan Milosevics at his event? We're sure they helped him raise a ton of money.

But the detentions and family separations that this godawful Administration continues to commit against refugees and migrants have not gone unnoticed this holiday season. Check out this nativity scene outside the United Methodist Church of Claremont, California.

"Shortly after the birth of Jesus," wrote senior minister Karen Clark Ristine, "Joseph and Mary were forced to flee with their young son from Nazareth to Egypt to escape King Herod, a tyrant....What if this family sought refuge in our country today?"

Another nativity is inside — minus the cages. Every single damn church in America should have displays like this. That is, if churches practiced what they preach. We cats HISS.
