Why do the speed boats keep coming?

[Norm Paperman]

I think you are being a bit naive. Chicago gangs have controlled Chicago politics for many years and that's small potatoes compared to the cartels.

Chicago politics is small potatoes compared to US national level politicians

I give the wide availability of naloxone and Narcan the credit.

Would a further reduction of say 30% upset you?

If it was up to me Narcan and related emergency treatments would be outlawed with the exception of innocent victims.

Chicago is the sewer that Obama slithered out of.

Chicago is the sewer that Obama slithered out of.

And?

And?

And, the Democrat machine is not magically uncorrupted at the national level.

By now it must be common news that taking a speed boat off the tip of South America is a deadly mission. Yet they continue to try. What could drive people to that point where they're going out on an adventure that has a better than even chance of ending up in death? Extreme poverty perhaps?

If these were just fishermen I think they would probably find another place to go fishing. No there has to be more to it for a group of people like this who are willing to stare death in the face and sometimes come out on the losing end.

In the US , we have unfortunately taken 'common news' for granted.

The ones on these boats may not know what a television is, much less have internet access and phones

Good point

It is very cute you think the corruption only applies to one party.

I never said that. GA Republicans are very corrupt IMHO.

Maduro thinks the optics of every boat sunk does far more politcal damage to Trump than he could achieve any other way....especially militarily.

You are smoking coke if you think these people do not have internet access

The possibility of a huge payday if you get tgrough

Of course they have access to those things.

The same reason ants don't disappear, after you step on one.

Because what Trump is doing has nothing to do with combatting drug smuggling .

Of course it does.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course it does.

The aggressive gullbility of Trump's supporters is something to behold.

 

[Norm Paperman]

Of course it does.

Since taking office less than a year ago he has pardoned a convicted drug lord and the founder of The Silk Road illegal drug website.

Tell us again how he is fighting against illegal drugs.

That would be impossible to manage. You often have just minutes to save a person's life who is succumbing to Fentanyl.

 

[Meathead]

Maybe the vast majority are
Still getting through undetected and they’re okay with those odds?

More likely they're as stupid as they are desperate

Fair point
