Belgian customs officers seized three times as much cocaine in the port of Antwerp last year as U.S. customs and border officials seized in all of the United States.

    I’m not amazed that Belgium takes out more coke out of circulation as the US. The American border guards have more important duties like separating kids from their parents, and illegally ship refugees to other parts of the US for political gain. Actually protecting the country from the inflow of dangerous drugs does not bring enough votes, it seems.

      It drives me insane 😤

      And when I tell people that caging babies is by itself why I hate trump, some of my coworkers say I’m overreacting. Plenty, plenty plenty of other reasons to despise that shitrag, but fuck that baby-cager and all his cronies and supporters with shards of glass.
