Graham is wrong.Lindsey Graham is offering legislation that would allow us to declare war on the Mexican cartels. The cartels are supplying fentinal to the US and the death toll is undeniable, and our military could quickly target and obliterate the cartel's facilities which would put them out of business almost over night. Ending something that causes that many deaths can easily be seen as an act of self defence. I only fear that Graham doesn't go far enough in defending our citizens from such a high death rate. Fentinal is currently the most dangerous enemy when it comes to unnecessary deaths, or is it? As bad as our drug death rate is, there is something that has been killing Americans much more often for a very long time. The #1 cause of death in this country is obesity and heart disease. Graham should revise his legislation to include McDonalds. They are killing more people than the cartels could ever kill. Think about it. It would be no problem targeting those big neon signs to bomb them out of existance. We could even announce when each store was scheduled to be bombed to avoid innocent people being caught in the destruction. I'm not sure what kind of defence they might be capable of, but it's known that they have no air support or big guns stationed at their locations. Hopefully Graham will notice his oversite in targeting McDonalds along with the cartels.
Graham is wrong.
Using the US military to attack drug cartels is reckless, irresponsible, and would fail to realize the desired goal:
‘Melissa Dalton, the assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense and hemispheric affairs, told House Armed Services Committee members that the Pentagon has found increasing violence in Mexico and the flow of the synthetic opioid fentanyl into the United States “deeply concerning.”
But Dalton also warned unilateral U.S. military action into Mexico could harm the relationship between the U.S. and its southern neighbor, after lawmakers in both chambers this year have raised the idea of designating some cartels as terrorist groups and sending U.S. troops into Mexico to confront them.
“In terms of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of some of the steps that are under consideration in terms of use of force or certain designations, I think we need to be clear-eyed about what some of the implications might be for the lines of cooperation we do have with Mexico,” Dalton said in response to an inquiry from Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif. “I do worry, based on signals — very strong signals we've gotten from the Mexicans in the past, concerns about their sovereignty, concerns about potential reciprocal steps that they might take to cut off our access, if we were to take some of these steps that are in consideration.”’
Pentagon worries deploying US troops against drug cartels could damage relations with Mexico
A top Pentagon official told lawmakers she was wary of growing calls to deploy American troops into Mexico to battle cartels responsible for at least some of the deadly drugs pouring into the United States across the southern border.www.stripes.com
This guy is doped up? Relationship ruined? They empty prisons, hospitals and nuthouses forcing all of them up into the USA! How could anything be worsened?But Dalton also warned unilateral U.S. military action into Mexico could harm the relationship between the U.S. and its southern neighbor,
We tried to build a wall to help stem the stream of illegal drugs coming across the border.Why has the US government done NOTHING meaningful to curb drug deaths in the USA? This isn't about allowing drugs into the country, it's the fact that MOST of these deaths are from legal opioids.
Drug addiction and deaths in this number is the sign of a sick society. Add to it the obesity epidemic and the American people are suffering while the government argues about the border. The southern border ISN'T the problem. You keep focusing on the symptom (drug abuse), and done nothing about the causes.
so tell us the last time someone died from eating a single big mac??Lindsey Graham is offering legislation that would allow us to declare war on the Mexican cartels.

Anybody that removes responsibly from the consumer when it comes to obesity and instead places the blame on a business is a fucking idiot.

Democrats don't care, so they scrapped it and left the border wide open.
Fentanyl gangs are not a business. Also McDonald's is a fast food burger place. Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous narcotic that is causing chaos all over the country. You can compare those things and try to draw parallels if you want, but that would be stupid.Can't the same be said for drugs?
Why? If the issue is just a matter of how many are dying, McDonalds is certainly responsible for more deaths than the cartels.
A failure of our duty to ensure socially responsible government. The French protest in the streets loud and often. The results speak for themselves.And again, the lack of socially responsible government has resulted in the ignoring of the demand side's responsibility.
Because this is France, there's an element of history at work. According to the Local, a French publication, "French workers won the right to strike in 1864, 20 years before they were allowed to unionize."
That meant France developed a tradition of striking and activism before a union hierarchy existed to negotiate on their behalf. Striking was a first resort, rather than a last, and to some extent that's still in the muscle memory.
Hahaha…poor ignorant leftists….always reaching…hahahaWhy? If the issue is just a matter of how many are dying, McDonalds is certainly responsible for more deaths than the cartels.

McDonalds operates within the law and cartels do not. Any other retarded questions?
Yes they do. Simple distinction to make huh?So does big pharma.

The turtle and the frog….Mitch and Lindsey are swamp cohorts with Chuck and Nancy….make no mistake about it.Lindsey Graham has never been right in his lifetime
I agree. That's why I compared the idea of declaring war on the cartels with declaring war on McDonalds. They are both stupid ideas.Graham is wrong.
