Anyone surprised the President of Mexico refused Trump’s offer to take on the cartels?

This is just a few fish of many, but I wonder what the remaining fish are thinking these days?

What would you do?

Very medieval. And it easily could have been defeated by a drawbridge and a moat. The Jensens made a fatal mistake when they designed their home.

A reporter asked the question (to Rockefeller after he had ruined yet another competitor to advance his own fortunes), "How much money is enough?"

Rockefeller, with an evil grin, "Always a little more."

Only after the fact do you know if one is needed or not.

Maybe the curtain is being raised to reveal just a bit of the incredible corruption bought by the Mexican cartels.

I’m a little confused here. Was he supplying cartels or buying it from them? Was he simply avoiding import taxes?

It’s not clear.

Pounding the world
Like a battering ram

Forging the furnace
For the final grand slam

Chopping away at the source
Soon the course will be done

Leaving a trail of destruction
That’s second to none

Why do we even care about this? Aren’t there racists or people praying in front of abortion clinics who we should be focusing on instead?

I am confused too.
Is there some tariff on Mexican oil or are they just not paying taxes on the proceeds or both?

They get the battering ram treatment but bail is only $30k?

Wondering if the left has started a gofundme fundraiser for their defense yet?

But they betrayed Americans so hang ‘em high!!

and the family’s $9.2 million mansion in Draper, Utah, previously featured in luxury real estate magazines.

Flaunting only attracts attention.

Maybe it was 3AM and they didn't want to ring the bell.
