"You can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook", Kansas City mob-boss Tom Pendergast associate, President Harry S Truman allegedly remarked. A Google response to the question "how much is Obama worth", openly admits, $40 million.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador says Mexico will deal with Narcotraficantes without American interference. They claim to have frozen $250 million in Cartel banking assets.
That's roughly equal to the Mexican Presidency's opening bribe tender.
Alex Cifuentes, a Colombian drug lord who has described himself as El Chapo's "right-hand man", testified in his El Chapo trial testimony (verdict on February 12, 2019), that former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, who served from 2012-18, contacted El Chapo after taking office in 2012, asking for $250 million in return for ending a manhunt for the drug cartel kingpin. El Chapo instead offered him $100 million, which the new president allegedly accepted.

That’s Mary Steenburgen to the upper-right of Bubba.
How much did Flimsey Grahamnesty get for his THREE amnesty votes?
Mexico will deal with Narcotraficantes without American interference...
Yeah, no.
The cartels are destroying our countries too.
Label them a terrorist organization and let the missiles fly.
I know it’s not that simple but let’s get started somewhere.
For later
Designate American drug users as domestic terrorists and second offense gets a lethal injection.
It wouldn't be an execution,just speeding up the inevitable.
Very uncomfortable with the overlap of “self-prescribed medication” with the only approved execution method.
Alex Berenson, “Tell Your Children” (that strong cannabis use has been associated with increases in homicidal psychosis, noted in the early 20th century by British Raj authorities about hashis addicts), “a large Australian study recently cast doubt on its effectiveness in chronic pain”.
Bad sign: We’re getting ready to legalize everything. Expect an increase in opioid death rate.
Yeah I’ll pass on that.
Make the amount needed to charge with intent to distribute very small and hit those people with 20 year terms.
Unless you have the perfect family, I doubt you’d want a loved one killed for being caught with drugs twice.
And if you do, then you and I will just agree to disagree.
Drug DEALERS should be designated domestic terrorists.
Obrador must :really be hugging the Cartel heads.
Prohibition 2.0 is never going to be repealed. There's too much money in it and Americans would have to take responsibility for their own actions. That's never going to happen.
Expect an increase in opioid death rate.
I have no problem with that. They're dead anyway.
I think it’s pretty simple. Tell AMLO that unless he really starts helping then the US will have to consider him and the rest of the Mexican government complicit in their crimes. I’m betting our intel services have evidence that Nieto and AMLO have taken money from the cartels. The US wants results and will not question the methods used to obtain those results.
Nice!
Why are we defending Europe ? The ingrates hate us and are causing their own risks/demise.
Use the manpower & resources to protect our Nation and our borders.
There was a time when your statement wouldn’t have seemed audacious.
But there was a time when a man wanting to be a girl meant he had a mental illness :-)
Restrictions, elimination of our Rights & Freedoms and the profitability of prohibition makes it (prohibition) too precious to surrender.
Alternatively, Darwin will select for those without discipline, which will decimate liberals.
The other upper right?
That’s rich...
