Unfortunately, the US government hates children.
They think starving 1/2 million children to death was worth it.
They are the only nation on earth to not sign the UN International Treaty for the Rights of Children.

Here, in Ecuador, massive protests are underway. There may be an agreement...conflicting reports.

The indigenous people here have very effective protest strategies that the US might want to consider.

However, President Noboa is a Trump-lite personality.

A few protesters are dead.
Many are injured.
Some activist fought back sending violent soldiers to the hospital.

Some hospitals won't help protesters.
Bus drivers get fines for transporting protesters.

Typically, they set up road blocks, shut down things. The govt. relents eventually.

Now, is different. Especially after a visit from Narco Rubio.

Noboa & family have US passports, are alleged drug runners.

Returning to normal daily operations over the last 75 years.

Trump keeps bragging he's owned by Miriam Adelson.

The Adelson's (her husband died) gave Trump at least $300 million during both of Trump's campaigns.

MAGA = Miriam Adelson Gets All
