The loony liberal Left had a predictable meltdown concerning something Pres. Trump said. “Yawn”, right? The sun also rose in the East today. It’s turns out POTUS did not call call immigrants “animals”, but rather members of MS13.
However, the context-challenged libs pounced, claiming that Trump the Nazi was dehumanizing people. Never mind that most of those who criticized Trump for dehumanizing people also promote abortion… or other animalistic things. I digress.

I am reminded of how God excluded from Gideon’s victory the men who acted like animals rather than men by lapping water like dogs.
I am reminded of how – more than once – Our Lord called people “snakes… vipers” and linked them to Hell. Matthew 23:33 & Matthew 12:34.
