No, the headline does not deceive you. The New York Times got its pants in a bunch over President Donald Trump daring to refer to violent Mexican drug cartels as “terrorists” because it could supposedly harm the economy.
“How Labeling Cartels ‘Terrorists’ Could Hurt the U.S. Economy,” read the asinine January 22 news item from Times correspondents Maria Abi-Habib and Simon Romero. The authors railed against Trump’s executive order designating the cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” and claimed that it “could force some American companies to forgo doing business in Mexico rather than risk U.S. sanctions.” Yeah, how dare Trump treat the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels flooding America’s streets with deadly fentanyl that’s killing over 200 Americans daily as synonymous with terrorism, right? #Migraine

Are we sure the Babylon Bee didn’t hack into the NY Times servers ?
The funeral business?
It could hurt the Mexican economy.
The absolute ignorance and corruption of the NYT and its writers and editorial staff is just astonishing.
I think we just found out who actually OWNS the “NYT”
They truly are deranged.
Translation, US Banks can no longer launder terrorist organization funds and remittances. Everyone thinks this is Delta raiding Cartel houses and having shootouts.
But this is banks and businesses that suddenly need to knock off Cartel services, buying avocados from cartel farms, NGOs that are paying cartels to move illegals. Also, no financial aid for Mexico if they do not dance to our tune.
This opens up a lot of cool things.
Did the Babylon Bee write this?
HSBC was started as a dope bank to facilitate the Hong Kong British opium trade. James Comey was a CEO there before going to the FBI.
HSBC actually redesigned their teller windows so cartels could slide suitcases of cash through the window.
If banks do that for a terrorist group.... well, you can see the pickle they can find themselves in with Kash Patel.
The same demented minds that conclude that requiring men to use men’s and women to use women’s rooms will result in sexual assaults. You can’t reason or argue with that level of stupid.
Clever insight. The Patriot Act authorized surveillance on terrorist groups. Unfortunately Obama turned it on us.

And in other news, putting the Mafia out of business will be bad for Vegas...
If you know how to write a grammatical sentence, spell things correctly, and use the preferred vocabulary, and stock cliches, you can be a journalist without knowing anything about anything.
We can’t do anything except live with the chaos and anarchy because everything we do hurts the “economy”.
Shows you just how screwed up the New York Times is.
