The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"The dope narrative is an excuse..........."

Weird that America takes no responsibility for our role in the drug trafficking.
America is the largest customer base for all illicit drugs. American citizens
voluntarily buy the stuff, even though it's an illegal transaction. If America
was serious, it would put a whole lot more effort into getting its citizens to
stop being the biggest customer base worldwide, for street drugs.

And this isn't solely a Trump failure. Americans have been the biggest customer base
for illegal drugs my entire life, as far as I know. So this goes waaaaay back.

But Trump is calling for the murder of non-Americans, when he orders the military
to blow fishing boats out of the water. No due process, no evidence of the drugs,
just the words of Trump, Hegseth, and Noem. And their word is worthless. I
want to see proof that these boats were carrying drugs to America. And Trump
never provides proof of anything, he just does a verbal 3-Stooges Curley Shuffle
word salad.
