Covid pressor (?) - Trump Launches Massive All Out Military Offensive On Drug Cartels

[bripat9643]

These cartels have decimated families and communities. Making hand over fist without regard for anyones life. They've been sending their poisons in for a long time, though it's always just a band aid solution unfortunately as long as your border is so porous.

The drug war is responsible for decimating families and communities. It's time for it to end. Buying drugs is voluntary. The idea that you get to determine how other people live is utterly fascist.

TRUMP, BARR AND ESPER WARN OF MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL TRAFFICKING DURING CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE BRIEFING

President Donald Trump opened Wednesday's coronavirus White House task force briefing by issuing a warning about Mexican drug cartels. "America continues to wage all out war to defeat the virus, this horrible, horrible virus, you see how terrible it is especially if you look at the numbers from yesterday," Trump said after taking the podium. "In this time of need, I know that every American will do their patriotic duty and help us achieve a total victory." The president stood alongside Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Attorney General William Barr and several other officials, none of whom were situated six feet apart despite the federal government's social distancing guidelines.

We must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives,” Trump continued. “In cooperation with the 22 partner nations, the U.S. Southern Command will increase surveillance, disruption, and seizures of drug shipments, and provide additional support for eradication efforts that are going on right now at a record pace.” “We are deploying additional Navy destroyers, combat ships, aircraft and helicopters, Coast Guard cutters and Air Force surveillance aircraft, doubling the capabilities in the region,” Trump continued. “Very importantly, our forces are fully equipped with personnel protective equipment, and we have taken additional safety measures to ensure that our troops remain healthy.”

cartel sounds so Mex.
It's obvious racist
Look for it to be the next word the left throws you in jail for

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It's Trump's "shiny key" maneuver. Used to distract his base from the real problems going on. He's getting desperate for adoration, because he can't hold his rallies anymore when something is bugging him.

Spot on...

To quote Sean Connery from the Untouchables......they pull a knife, you pull a gun, they send one yours to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue.

MOST of the drugs, they estimate, come through customs.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Cartels have their own problems.

Mexican drug cartels struggle during coronavirus, hike prices as lab supplies from China dry up

The onslaught of the coronavirus has not only sent the global economy tumbling – but it has also hit illicit industries where it hurts the most, and Mexican cartels are no exception.

I love those pressers. Especially when the President really lambasts the press and shovels shit all over the reporters. It seems like they are beginning to get the message. They aren't quite as nasty as they were at first.

God, I actually agree with you on something!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That is the lowest kind of sleaze and utter bullshit.

Yet you never read a word of the article. And, even if you did, you could not argue against it or factually debunk any of it of your life depended on it. So clearly you're just a whiny cultist reacting reflexively.

Many pieces have been done on this. No, you won't hear rush talking about them, which is why you haven't heard about it.

 

[RealDave]

Consider this:

Trump refuses early action to allow the virus to engulf America.

Odd that Russia has had little effect & China is on the way back maybe they have a cure & a vaccine.

A Carrier docks at a foreign port & sends its sailors on leave. They come back infected & now a carrier is idled.

Trump now pulls war ships that were keeping an eye on Russsia & China to fight a drug war in Mexico.

Russia starts a price war with our Saudi "friends", oil plunges destroying a big chunk of our oil producers.

Trump knows his re-election is in doubt & he must act now.

Is trump selling us out to the Russians and Chinese? Is the above just Trump idiocy or a plan coming together.

Will you right wingers join Trump or fight for America?

The drug war is responsible for decimating families and communities. It's time for it to end. Buying drugs is voluntary. The idea that you get to determine how other people live is utterly fascist.

My bet is; we’ll lay off when drug users stop being a public liability as a result of their usage.

The War on Drugs Is Lost | National Review

 

[foggedinn]

It has never been a war on drugs, it is and always has been a war on drug users. Deal with the matter openly and honestly and it will resolve itself. Deception, manipulation, intimidation, tricks, traps and snares are what has gotten us to where we are at.

I've watched opiate addiction ruin many lives--not just their own but their families,

I've watched alcohol kill more people than the flu, new old or combimed and lets not even talk about heart attacks or drunk drivers or just plain stupid people being stupid- however, that doesn't address what I said.

ALL fed agencies do the same damn thing, publicly speaking, they make absurd statements to insure they get more money in their budget.
As for your willfully blind worship of the fed godvernment you might try reading not approved sources for information since approved sources are merely propaganda tools-

On November 22, 1996, the US Justice Department indicted General Ramón Guillén Davila of Venezuela on charges of importing cocaine into the United States. The federal prosecutors alleged that while heading Venezuela’s anti-drug unit, General Guillén smuggled more than 22 tons of cocaine into the...

'Bout time. Why did he wait until the nation was in a crisis?

why didn't any other president do it before him? this has been going on far too long in general.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

You know, right now, I'd rather have the government working on a cure and a vaccine and figuring out how to stop this virus rather than have Trump throw red meat to his base by bitching about cartels and drugs.

It's Trump's "shiny key" maneuver. Used to distract his base from the real problems going on. He's getting desperate for adoration, because he can't hold his rallies anymore when something is bugging him.

The part of the government doing the anti-drug work has not part in the finding of a vaccine...i hope to holy hell we are capable of doing more than one thing at a time
