Mexico's cartels always find ways to put on some kind of sick clown show to draw attention, and sure enough they did so again with some sort of victory parade of vehicles through a Mexican town in the state of Guanajuato. According to the U.K. Daily Star (hat tip: Drudge Report):
A convoy of armoured cars reportedly belonging to El Chapo’s cartel have been filmed brazenly driving into a Mexican town in a show of strength.
The scenes were recorded in Guanajuato in central Mexico as the Sinaloa Cartel were reportedly showing their strength after forming an alliance with a local gang.
In the video, filmed by someone inside a parked car, vehicles are seen barreling into the village while armed cartel members stand out of the vehicle's sun rooves.
Several more armoured cars follow behind in the convoy, including an all-black armoured van and what is thought to be a silver Audi.
Other vehicles including pickup trucks complete with sirens and police-style flashing lights are seen.
The Daily Star has a video at its link but this shareable one, from GrilloNautas2 on YouTube, is better:
Which is bad enough as it is -- it sounds like they're winning something and doing their victory dance to fling it in the face of the state. They have good reason to: Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, far from beating the hell out of the cartels as they deserve, has a 'hug a cartel' policy, and cartels are treating that with the contempt it deserves. The parade of drug dealer cars would be awful no matter what city it happened to in Mexico.

All because democrats love their dope more than their country.
All the Mexican politicians are Cartel heads.
Wait! What?
...backed by the deep state
YOU CRAZY EDDIE!
There’s one extra-horrifying detail the press didn’t notice: Guanajuato, for many years now, has had the reputation as Mexico’s safest state.
It’s a bulwark, chaos all around it, but high in its mountain and stone quarry redoubt, perfectly safe, at least until now. When Mexico took on its cartels in 2006 with the election of conservative President Felipe Calderon, much of Mexico was mired in violence as Calderon battled the drug cartels openly. Through at least 2016, Guanajuato was remained untouched, its main city of Guanajuato a wonderful safe haven for tourists to visit, not too luxurious, authenticity galore, picturesque, pleasant and interesting, same as the little towns around it.
In addition, it’s a conservative state, hyper conservative, the only Latin places with so many conservatives might be found in parts of Colombia and Chile. Ferociously conservative as only Latins can be, not just pro-market but socially conservative.
A 2010 piece from the New York Times condemned the main city for enforcing its anti-abortion laws.
None of these positives have been enough to protect this state. The story’s changed now. Whether this problem spills over our country and creates the same conditions remains to be seen.

We’re gonna need a bigger wall.
The DEA needs to purchase some A-10 Warthogs!
Anonymous sources report the cartel convoy is to meet Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador for a ‘group hug’.
Biblical levels of brutality and mass murder are called for with the cartels. No arrests. Just bombs, napalm, flame throwers, etc. Total annihilation. Of course “Mexico” won’t do it because they are well paid. We need to hire mercenaries to take care of them.
RE: We’re gonna need a bigger wall.
The wall that we’re building isn’t even a wall.
Washington Post is reporting that Smugglers are sawing through new sections of Trump’s border wall.

Thank God our American Bankers and Politicians are here to help the Cartel’s keep order in their towns.
Mexico is finished. And if the communists Democrats , MSM, gangs, and the illegals have it their way America is on its way for the same.
Anyone who vacations in Mexico needs a psychological evaluation.
In 1975, we rented a car in Mexico City and drove up to Querétaro, San Miguel Allende and Guanajuato. Then we drove to Michoacán before making our way back to Mexico City.
This was a beautiful drive through countryside that at times resembled Switzerland. Alas, I will never be able to do this again—and neither will anyone else who values his life.
Got any credible source for your WaPo propaganda? I’ll wait a while before calling “Strike One” on you.

Why is this a strike on me? I’m just presenting what WaPo is reporting. You don’t have to believe it if you find it not credible.
There is no wall that could be built that is impenetrable. However,it is designed to not easily be cuttable and be easily repairable when it is cut.
Plenty of Bush League Republicans still want to turn the USA into North Mexico.
We’re gonna need a bigger wall.

Yes and more than that we need to replace the Bush League Republicans who still want to give amnesty to 30 million illegal aliens.
