> secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people Wow, so they're finally going to schedule alcohol as a controlled substance in line with its damage to society? Great!

Will it be the generals' schoolmarm Flag Code violator who wipes his face on his flag pocket square, Christian nationalism tattooed, and wears a Russia tie alcoholic who will demonstrate the "WMDs" that "Saddam" must give up? Where have I heard the story of start a pointless war to distract from domestic concerns before? Perhaps the Department of Pointless Wars should save some money and lives by faking a war with AI and Hollywood special effects instead of dropping Hellfires on probable innocent fishing and other not cocaine boats?

With the way these people purposely create name collisions to drown out inconvenient news, I'm guessing that "Southern Spear" was one of Turmp's favorite things to order from Epstein's menu.

there is plenty of evidence that drug boat crews are in no way involved in the manufacture, marketing or most importantly, miney laundering of the drug proffits, and that the crews are often bieng held hostage and or blackmailed/extorted or trafficked, and tricked, sad basterds who needed a job, would have been happy to run a shovle planting shruberies, executed by desperate politicians and there underlings, cunning lawyers pointing out the legal "grey" areas of international law. We all know that it's a big messy mean-oll-worl, and everbody get to make there own mistakes, but that it is never, ever, ok for the ones at the top to burn alive those at the bottom, on a whim. So how does the cumulative trillion dollars of drug proffits magicaly vanish without a single arrest of a senior banker ever?
