Sell it to China and use it to pay down the debt.

Who will then try to re-import it.
Where it will again be seized.
Resold to China…..

The trade deficit erased in no time at all.

Richard Pryor (on Leon Spinks): Do you hear me, a dollar and fifty cents worth of cocaine. Have you ever sen a dollar and fifty cents worth of cocaine? A dollar and fifty cents worth of cocaine melts before you open the paper. You’ve got to have a ballistics expert on the spot to examine that kind of ____. And people always say ‘well how did he get busted for a dollar and fifty cents worth of cocaine?’ I have a theory. Would you like to hear it?

Audience: Yes!

Richard Pryor: If you buy a dollar and fifty cents worth of cocaine from any cocaine dealer in America, HE’S gonna tell on your ass!

The U.S. Coast Guard offloads drugs at Port Everglades

Does the mafia still run the port? Hopefully the stash is well guarded.

This is how the cartel pays off the government. We government squeezes, the cartel provides value.

Age old trick. Funny how the captured inventory and funds are not ever accounted. Imagine that why don’t ya!!

President Trump shut down the wide open border where the surge of illegals were bringing in drugs for the cartels so now the cartels have had to do a quick pivot to ocean smuggling.

Now Trump Administration is shutting down the sea lanes.

This is what happen when you have a President and country that actually is serious about shutting down the drug traffic instead of paying lip service while taking bribes under the tables from the cartels.

First USAID and firing government workers who are paid Democrat operatives with no show jobs, and now shutting down the drug cartels, Trump is hitting the wallets of this political opposition.

In Washington, if you want to get things done you don't drain the swamp, you cut the funding.

. President Trump just shut down at least 50 million in cartel bribe money that would have went to corrupt politicians and public officials with this operation.

In Singapore if you're found with more than a specific amount of certain drugs...presumably fentanyl,heroin,coke,meth,etc...you're deemed to be a distributor under Singapore law (even if you don't)...and the *mandatory* penalty is death.

I would vigorously support the same law here in the US.
