On Trump

[highfigh]

Trump and Tariff's. Where is the common sense, if you raise tarrifs, you raise prices to the public. DAH?? Did hear/read, what Columbia said of TRUMP and his Tarriff? It will make you laugh and how stupid Trump can be. Good for Canada too. Gees, give me a break. Ya, make the American people pay more for goods. DAH!

Maybe build a boat for just South American CRIMINALS, and ground it somewhere in Southern Mexico? For starters???

If the tariffs were high enough to get manfacturing back in this country and somehow, the cost to consumers wouldn't go through the roof, it would be great as a way to stop being so dependent on one country as the main suplier of good shipped to the US, it would be great. If the change for manufacturing to Indonesia by companies like Fender is any indication, it might get China to see that w want them to stop being dikheds and the quality of Fender instruments that are coming from new-ish countries is excellent. Some prices are down, too.

One of the main features of MAGA-world is its purported support for law & order and the police. The depth of cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics required to hold this view, while also supporting a man for whom a law means nothing if it's broken in his service.

I'm definitely not MAGA, regardless of what some want to believe, but I don't understand how anyone could possibly think that law & order exists in this country. Among some, sure, but a large percent of the population doesn't want to behave and they don't give a f&ck if they're pissing off most of the country. Watch videos on YouTube- the cops catch someone who fights and tries their hardest to get free and then deny that they're resisting, ask what they did wrong, say they didn't do anything. Some spit and toss other bodily fluids at the officers and find other ways to be a burden. Then, there are the fat ones of all kinds who run away and are gassed after 200 yards, then say "I can't breathe"- no shyte! You haven't done anything strenuous in years and you run away? Or worse, they didn't do anything but end up on the ground after NO struggle and they say "I can't breathe". It's like George Floyd was a freaking saint- the ME said Floyd had so much Fentalyl in his system that he (the ME) didn't know how he was alive.

Just had another police chace through my neighborhood 20 seconds ago, so that's great......

Border patrol being fired upon ?

US Border patrol agents exchange gunfire with Mexico drug cartel: reports

According to reports, there were no injuries in the incident near Fronton Island, an uninhabited island in Starr County, Texas.

perhaps Donnie can bring out the aging A-10's out for some 'easy a$$ kicking'

What 'aging' A-10s? They're in use and train almost daily in Misssouri? I have seen titles of YT videos showing that the fleet is being updated, but no actual videos. Must be a heck of an update.

Correct its called the Super A-10,

GAU-8 Avenger cannon, hypersonic missiles, stealth features, and augmented reality systems

This lady doesn’t realize this is EXACTLY what Americans voted for and we hope Elon gets an office here and this is what he does

Now a Congressman is floating the idea of issuing Letters of Marquee and Reprisal to private paramilitary contractors. Won’t cost the US taxpayer a dime and there’s literal warehouses of cash south of the border. Crazy thing is it’s written into the US Constitution.

A common syndrome of conservatives: not MAGA. Nor conservative or Republican. Floyd wasn't a saint, another common argument from the right. Though there's a video showing a cop kneeling on his neck while handcuffed for 8.5 minutes.

It would also be an act of war.

We have been at war with the Cartels since Reagan. Obviously we have been complicit along the CIA getting in bed with them but if we can do it correctly we should. Mexico is a complete Narco State, if we could manage to drastically diminish the Cartels power and give Mexico a chance to choose their own leaders without the Cartels killing any decent opposition candidate we should. We are directly responsible for this mess and cleanup is going to suck but it eventually needs to happen. If you have a better idea speak up. Some of these PMC’s have recruited the best tier 1 operators from around the world and have better air power than Ukraine, they would run through the Cartels like they weren’t there and make Gaza look like a nice place to live. If you don’t believe me watch what’s about to happen to Gaza after the hostages are released as Israel just hired the PMCs, not of the released terrorists will be living very long.

[Dude#1279435]

I've actually seen people claim the cop was innocent while not watching the video. Or that it's possible Floyd was not a saint while at the same time not deserving a knee placed on his neck for 8.5 minutes. The two ideas together are not comprehended by some.

You break it, you own it. Have fun paying for the reconstruction of a country of 130,000,000.

You want to stop the drug smuggling? Do something about demand.

What's going to happen in Gaza is what's been happening for decades. Israeli PMCs will not change that.

If he could yell about not being able to breathe, HE COULD BREATHE! Vocal cords don't work if air isn't behind them.

I have frequently posted that the trainee should have done something to stop Keung & Chauvin- they had a crowd around them and if he had, Floyd would be alive. They wouldn't have killed anyone who had tried to stop them, especially with so many with their phones recording video AND DOING NOTHING TO HELP HIM.

Nah, that cop had other complaints against him- he wasn't innocent. The other four officers should have stopped him.

The force to eradicate the Cartel will have to be very large and it won't be easy to find them either. They will hide in cities and other populated areas. Mexico City has 9 million inhabitants while Greater Mexico City have 21 million. Gaza had 2 million in a small cordoned area and it took the might of the Israel military to crush it, and it was a bloodbath.

This assumes that the Mexican government sits idly by while Americans is levelling Mexico city to the ground and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Not very likely.

Of course, the cartels won't sit idly by either but will hit targets, especially soft American targets inside Mexico as well as in USA. The Ukraine defence against the brutal Russian invasion have shown how effective small drones with explosives are in combat: Cheap and easy to make very many of by using off-the-shelves drones and adding munition.

Now you can imagine if the Cartels started using them in USA.

How is Canada dealing with its addicts? Demand changes when a new drug comes in and is basically given away to create the market, then people become addicted after the first use. Meth is one of the drugs that is so addictive that people who were in stable homes go completely off the rails. China is the biggest importer of Fentanyl to the US and of some materials used to make other drugs, going to Mexico & other Central/South American countries. A lot of Coke comes form Peru and they have been one of, if not the, largest counterfeiters of US currency which is a problem because our currency is accepted around the world- certainly the preferred currenty of drug dealers & smugglers.

Do you have any good ideas about how the US can stop all of that? If someone can help with this, I think it would be appreciated.

As of July 1, 2024, Canada's entire population was about 41.3 million- check out the number in each stat from the link below-

"Among Americans aged 12 years and older, 37.309 million were current illegal drug users (used within the last 30 days) as of 2020."

"59.277 million or 21.4% of people 12 and over have used illegal drugs or misused prescription drugs within the last year."

"138.543 million or 50.0% of people aged 12 and over have illicitly used drugs in their lifetime."

"138.522 million Americans 12 and over drink alcohol."

"28.320 million or 20.4% of them have an alcohol use disorder."

"57.277 million people use tobacco or nicotine products (vape)."

I never said it would be easy. However, we don't live in a Tom Clancy novel. If anyone thinks sending mercs into Latin American countries is a better solution, they have rocks in their heads.

 

[Trell]

There are consequences, though.
