Not to put too fine a point on it, but you both are in a bubble. They're just different bubbles. Liberals and conservatives have methodically and deliberately avoided holding their leaders accountable for decades. The only people who c

Again, I'm just suggesting that maybe cartels make fishermen the proverbial "offer they can't refuse". I'm just wondering if it would be more effective, and far less expensive, to target the subjects making these of
