most notably fentanyl, which are then distributed to other countries.

These precursors are shipped worldwide, with significant quantities going to Mexico-based transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), such as the Sinaloa Cartel, which then synthesize the chemicals into finished fentanyl and smuggle the drug into the United States.

Of course China is a big source of revenue for the Trump Crime Family.
Trump won't go after China about the drugs.

In fact, Trump probably would demand a cut of the drug profits.

including his late buddy Rush Limbaugh

He doesnt give a shit about Americans and dependency. He wants to run the entire market.

He and his family have been doing them for decades.
He doesn't care if Americans die from overdoses.

He wants control of the drug trade.

Not just "power mad", but "completely insane 'mad'". A King George redux.

He does not care about drug use in the US.

Trump sees that a big source of profit for Putin are the Russian drug and sex rings.
Trump wants the same.

Trump has always been a mobster.

And has total immunity for all of his many crimes.

how 'bout making life better in these united(?) states so we don't require drugs to survive your asshole-ishness??

not you bum.... directed at the man in the story

And how much coke has Donny and Don Jr snorted?

He is completely insane.

500 Tons, Fucking Tons of coke into US. And plans to reinstall his a president of the country he shipped it from, as their President. So will He then blow him and that country up? Make the stupid stop, just God Damn the Media.
Anybody says Happy New Year needs a kick in the groin!!!! The New Year will still be under control of this never ending shit.

That's the only reason I can figure he pardoned the Honduran ex-Pres (the guy who shipped in 500 tons of cocaine and made a comment about stuffing it up American noses).

He's a criminal and an egomaniac who thinks he's a modern-day Hitler.

There are meth labs and opioid pill mills all over the US. Find where Melon Husk gets his Ketamine from. It's probably in our country.

or they don't want to admit it.

Well, that's just fine.

He “heard” Columbia was making cocaine?

Trump has played this kind of card before creating 80-20 characterizations of issues.

and destroying "suspect" facilities there?

With all the "pill mills" in operation here, that would open it up for any country to "invade" the U.S. and blow up someone's house or if we have a U.S,-flagged cargo ship loaded with soybeans destined for some location abroad, any country could "claim" that it was "hauling 'drugs'" (or even illegal "weapons" ), and extra-judicially, blow it out of the water.

Everyone is aware of the ridiculous hyperbolic "cards" that they play, but this go-around, it's no longer "hyperbole", and there are repercussions for our actions.

You are creating a straw man here. Trump has masterfully created many 80-20 issues that trigger democrats into taking politically unpopular positions. My point is we should be careful not to fall into his trap of "defending" a country that is exporting illegal drugs. That is a losing popular argument.

is your assertion of Democrats being "triggered" by anything that 45 does, with the suggestion that Democrats are "weak on crime", and other nonsense, which is nothing more than a standard RW talking point.

I think we are well past that point now.

There's a difference between demanding accountability before extra-judicial actions are carried out versus "overreacting" to the crap policy decisions or sitting silent and letting such continue.

Total mischaracterization Of what I said, followed by a no true Scotsman argument. Do you have any other logical fallacies you want to hit me with?

I hear tell they produce high quality H.

That Oxy pills were made and distributed by a nice millionaire USA family. Foisted upon unsuspecting folks by their American doctors. And millions of families destroyed.

The political class has used it historically to justify bad behavior since the early 20th Century. First the temperance and anti-opium movement, and then of course the "War on Drugs" in the 70s. It is always used as the root cause of our social problems like crime and poverty. ( I always think of Reagan supporting illegal drugs for Iran/Contra while screaming "Just Say No" )

So here we go again - fight them drugs in Venezuela, in China and mask the real issues like regime change and economic competition.

So the illegality of the US attacking a sovereign nation is ignored and the drug issues become the issue.

It works and has worked for a century - why stop?

He just wants to see videos of shit being blown up and people being killed because Viagra and Melania just aren't doin it for him anymore.

Because 'we' buy so much more of it than anywhere else. Quit buying it they'll quit sending it.
