Can’t see it in this picture but the hackers routed the railroad cars with the chickens and goats to be first class and sent to the luxury car private sidings for the Supreme Leader’s palace.

Human passengers went to a stockyard next to a big slaughterhouse. All mixed up now. They all get to watch nonstop CNN on TVs while they wait for it to be straightened out.
