:lol: the Dumpster at it again.

From the leaked transcript of his recent call with the Mexican president.

President Donald Trump warned in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart that he was ready to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press.

...

"You have a bunch of bad hombres down there," Trump told Pena Nieto, according to the excerpt given to AP. "You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it."

Yes, he should eliminate the cartels. Hopefully not by invasion, but let's be honest, is Mexico ever going to clean up its mess when they're so backwards, that drugs are literally one of their biggest sources of revenue?

Who's buying the drugs?

The best part is that they don't even feel it's necessary to provide any substance to back up their accusations of lies anymore. All they have to do is repeat Dear Leader's words like a magic incantation.

It's no use to fight them. They won't go down without a fight and it would cost too many lives and money.

The best thing would be to provide drug education and programs and more research on the benefits of certain drugs. Also, need to go after big pharmacy, not any good to trade one addiction to another and create more drug cartels even if they are nonviolent.

Correct. The only way to strip power away from the cartels is to curb demand for drugs here in the US.

When representatives of their government stand up before the world any tell us that unattributed reports based on nameless, faceless sources being spread by the liberal news media are not true

You are destroying the very fabric of our nation

That's your job. No worries. I don't believe in taking other people's jobs away from them.

A lot of people are making the best of visiting the country to our south. Up until this past election, they were one of our bigger customers. I'm going to miss interacting with those folks.

Which sounds to me like giving up. The US could crush them, if we were all united. But people don't have much sympathy for American addicts who die from drugs. OK, what about all the Mexicans who are killed by cartels? There was a casino in Monterey that was set on fire at 2 pm on a weekday, when it was full of Mexican grandmothers. 52 people died, the cartels were behind it. Is this not terrorism?

True, big pharma is bad. But 85% of street Meth comes from Mexico, all the heroin comes from Mexico, fentanyl is coming from Mexico. Rich people can afford pharmaceutical drugs for their high, but street drugs are killing poor people because that's all they can afford. Imagine the turnaround that would happen in poor communities across the country if suddenly there was no crack problem, no Meth problem, etc. Chicago alone would see it's homicides drastically reduced, because the gangs would have no reason for turf wars.
