The vile Democrats belittle the idea of child trafficking by saying anybody appalled by this disgusting, horrible practice is a QAnon nut and the Republicans ignore it. To me both actions are criminal. But then again congress is full of unindicted criminals.

Our corrupt congress needs to get off their miserable asses and pass brutal, harsh laws against human trafficking not just child trafficking. We need to fund an independent agency that vigorously pursues and arrests the vicious swine and gives minimum sentences of life in solitary confinement with no parole in a harsh supermax prison.

Why wait for Congress?

“When a human being is set upon by a robber, ravisher, murderer, or tyrant of any kind, it is the duty of the bystanders to go to his or her rescue, by force, if need be.

“In general, nothing will excuse men in the non-performance of this duty, except the pressure of higher duties, (if such there be,) inability to afford relief, or too great danger to themselves or others.

“This duty being naturally inherent in human relations and necessities, governments and laws are of no authority in opposition to it. If they interpose themselves, they must be trampled under foot without ceremony, as we would trample under foot laws that should forbid us to rescue men from wild beasts, or from burning buildings.

”On this principle, it is the duty of the non-slaveholders of this country, in their private capacity as individuals—without asking the permission, or waiting the movements, of the government—to go to the rescue of the Slaves from the hands of their oppressors.”

—Lysander Spooner, “A Plan for the Abolition of Slavery”, 1858
