When 87% of the republican party comprises only 29% of the voting population, you can see how trump’s shutdown is working. It’s a brilliant move to erode support for all things right wing. Stand by your man republicans, as he stands by Putin.

If there weren't millions[maybe tens of millions] of Americans clamouring to take money out of their pockets, buy illegal drugs from the dealers/cartels and consume the illegal drugs, with not so much as the first clue as to what the drugs could be...there wouldn't be any drug trade.

In an episode of SWAT on my tv last night...it showed that many high school and college kids in America die from consuming drugs coming in over the Mexican border.

Blind squirrel and all that...

Without demand there’d be no supply. So why not spend billions in dealing with those internal societal issues that compel millions, maybe tens of millions, to self medicate?

Legalize recreational drugs and regulate them like alcohol. Treat addiction as a disease and move funds from drug enforcement and interdiction to mental health and treatment.

Requires a more hopeful perspective rather than the way you, Red and kid view the world.
