This is the way to do this.

For the Coast Guard, they don't have Hellfires.

“As Trump continues to stop the invasion of illegals and stop the flow of narcotics into the USA, we are going to see a lot of addicts suffering from withdrawal.”

That is why the Democrats are going out of their minds.

He (apparently) goes by the moniker “RandFan” on FR. Gotta be him, else the FR character has a serious man crush on him.

“Why are so many people in the US choosing to be addicted to drugs?”

They replace Christ with dope to try to be happy. It does not work

Do we know which country this came from?

Re Landman ... We had heard good things about it, and the ads for it looked interesting. We love it. Binged Season 1 in two days. Billy Bob Thornton is so good!

Warning, though it’s a bit raw — reminds us of Sopranos. Language, boobies, etc.

Thank you so much. It means a lot to me to hear that.

I am confused. Why would they want to seize that much snow? They are going to destroy it anyway. So unless they are pissing off PETA by getting the fish high, why not just sink it? Save money for storage and completes the need for a long trial.

>>>”I went to the link, read the repeating story, watched the two X vids and did not see a boat big enough to carry 20k lbs of cargo.”<<<

Ah, at last someone with sharp eyes (and brain!) on this thread.

I already did the same and came to the same conclusion. No way that little boat could carry 20,000 pounds! Does no one on FR know anything at all about boats?

Either (A) the video was from another bust, or (B) someone accidentally (or accidentally-on-purpose) added an extra zero to the poundage, or... (C) It’s just fake. I’m thinking and hoping it was either A or B, preferably A.

Good for you, Captain Obvious for living up your name and using your brain.

It’s obvious (smile) it didn’t come from Venezuela. The majority of cocaine comes from Columbia, some from Ecuador. Both have coastlines on the Pacific. So it likely came from Columbia, possibly Ecuador.

No cocaine is produced in Venezuela (and less than 15% of cocaine entering the US transits through Venezuela), and given that Venezuela does not have a coastline on the Pacific, no way it came from there.

Thanks for the sanity, Cap’n (salute).

(BTW, no fentanyl comes from Venezuela. Only fools who never looked into it believe it does. But being Captain Obvious, you already know that!)

When a FR link has a lot of deja vu in the text, it is usually BS reporting/story.

I tend to go over FReepers heads when I point this stuff out.

The other funny stuff on here are all the Freepers claiming some tiny boat that was blown up on the short run from Venezuela to Trinidad or Tobago “saved American lives” because the little boat was bringing “fentanyl to the US”.

Um, first, no fentanyl enters into the US fromvor via Venezuela. Second, those little boats could not possibly carry enough jerry cans of extra fuel needed to make it anywhere near the Us, let alone leave room for big bags of cocaine.

Nah, they were making the short run to Trinidad or Tobago, where the cocaine from Columbia would then be trans shipped to Europe. Doesn’t anyone ever ?lol at a map at all,let alone a drug route map? Sorry, no American lives saved :(

I agree with you...Keeping the stuff around adds risk and expense. It should be vaporized.
