Historically, America's biggest drug problems come from wherever the government is fighting a war.

During Vietnam, heroin heated up because it was easily available over there, and they set up a smuggling operation.

During the 80s, the crack cocaine epidemic exploded when cocaine became super cheap because of the Iran-Contra war, where cocaine was easily available.

Now we're going to be in South America again, so count on more cocaine issues, and it sounds like there is South American heroin. So the 2030s should be fun in America.

If we decide to fight in Mexico, maybe we'll get some cheap, but high quality Mexican weed. I'm not hoping for a new Mexican-American War, but I'm up for cheap weed.

Valid. Americans get angry at the wrong things. It's a lack of Critical Thinking Skills being taught in public schools.

Missing the point ENTIRELY.

THIS is how foreign citizens view America. If we aren't vicious psychopathic MAGAs ordering other countries obey our every irrational demand, we are just stupid, drug-addicted losers.

And they aren't far off.

This is how the Conservative Propaganda Machine finds.people with poor Critical Thinking Skills and separates them from the herd, and starts working on them. I'm this case, they are prepared to accept whatever ICE does to us, because they've been told it will be far worse if ICE goes away.

Was there NOTHING at the border before ICE? Was nobody being stopped at the border before?

Of course not, Border Patrol has been a thing forever, long before ICE was around. If ICE goes away, then we simply rely on the Border patrol, like we've always done.

You could argue that they could do a better job, but sending armed invaders to attack our cities is not the better job they should be doing.

After what ICE has been doing, is it such a big betrayal of your fellow law enforcement to say that ICE needs to be abolished, and a NEW agency, with a new leadership who is committed to establishing a new culture must replace it?

Just use the N word a lot.

ICE recruiting is prioritizing law enforcement for field work right now, but they are also hiring plenty of back of the house personnel as well (desk work), and have been telling them that after more training there is good potential for them to get into the field, too.

Remember "Alice's Restaurant," when the guy tried to avoid the draft by acting crazy?

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL, " and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

If you want to be abusive toward your fellow citizens, there is no limit to the predatory gun-toting community for you. You have multiple options.

If they went Gaza on any city in America, then we have the justification to kill ALL government authorities.

OR, the situation becomes a case of mutually-assured destruction, like the Cold War. The cops don't want that fight, and the Panthers know it. ALL Cops are cowards at their core, they can't exist in society without carrying an arsenal, and elevating themselves above their fellow citizens. They won't engage someone they KNOW is equally armed, and BETTER TRAINED, and knows the law better.

They'd rather go after poor working people just trying to get by. They are more compliant, and can't afford lawyers.

Cop: "You have a good day."

BP: "You have a bad one, sell out! Get the fuck out of here!"
