I heard this story a couple of times this morning on MSNBC. I swear it's not April Fools Day in Hell.
The Trump State Department is trying to deport a baby (to repeat, in case that wasn't clear: a BABY) born to a surrogate in Canada for a legally-married, same-sex couple in the U.S, using the explanation that the baby was born "out of wedlock"!! Yes, the married couple is fighting this and said they're likely to win on precedence, there already being a similar ruling in another case, but -- seriously what kind of a national government even thinks of doing this??! The only thing I can think of is that the Trump administration thinks it isn't clear enough that they're insane, hate-filled, anti-gay, xenophobic, and fascist. Are they concerned that the BABY is a terrorist? Or an "animal"? One of the parents was asked what logic the government was using for their action. And his answer was the only proper one. "I don't know," that there doesn't seem to be any logic. Again, this is the national government deciding on whether a legally adopted BABY can stay in the country. For every conservative who says they believe in the government staying out of their lives, they either would seemingly have to be outraged by this -- or have their life-sucking hypocrite card renewed to Lifetime Membership status. The only good thing from this is knowing that the Trump administration doesn't single out Mexico alone as being not worthy of entering the United States, but also now includes Canada.
