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.

Not to mention President Trump probably saved the life of a youth you know because illegal drugs were blasted to the bottom of the sea and not transported into the neighborhood.

Nope.

Though drugs do make their way thru Venezuela, fentanyl/opioids are not among them. They come by other routes.

Perhaps you should know what you’re talking about before attempting to lecture on the subject? Just a suggestion.

Further, no drugs have been recovered, no “fishermen” have been captured and interrogated, and no evidence has been offered, and no authorization from congress has been sought by this administration which continues to simply blast boats in the Caribbean for your viewing pleasure.

The next stage in this monstrous charade will actually be the main goal of this little theater production- taking Venezuela and their 100 billion barrels of oil.

And you will cheer for the atrocities as you always seem to do.

In conclusion:

1. This whole thing is not about drugs. It’s about stealing the wealth of a country.

2. It’s also about normalizing Trump’s power and ability to kill whoever he damn well pleases. If he can get away with it in the Caribbean, he’ll be bringing that road show to the United States- extra-judicial killings; no indictments, no evidence, no trials, no appeals- just death to whomever he calls an enemy.

And as you have for every single one of his atrocities up to this point, you will most likely cheer for that one as well.

And Trump will have done little to halt the flood of drugs into this country.

But you won’t want to talk about that.
