rump says US will start attacking Mexico

Appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that land strikes against drug cartels were on the way.

“We are going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico. It’s very, very sad to watch and see what’s happened to that country, but the cartels are running [it] and they’re killing 250, 300,000 people in our country every single year,” Trump said in an interview that aired Thursday night ...

You gotta hand it to the guy. He's gotta lot happening...

Not certain any of that's gonna work out well, but well... don't forget... America VOTED for this shit.

They actually wanted it. And... well... here it is.

The shocking part of all of this is... it's not remotely shocking or unexpected.

If he invaded Mexico City tomorrow, I wouldn't even blink.

He won by 49.5% of the vote. The majority of American who went to the polls voted for someone else.

9. Whatever is in the Epstein files must be far worse than even imagined

Trump has ratcheted up the crazy to defcon 1 since the vote to demand the release the Epstein files passed. And it’s working to some extent as it seems no one is talking about the fact that the deadline has come and gone. I hope Massie continues to talk about this. The fact that he’s GOP makes it hard to spin the Epstein files as a Dem hoax. I don’t like Massie, but I do like his consistent fight on getting the Epstein files released.

Wish there was someone (non-Trumper) in the DOJ or FBi who could leak them

It's getting late and scary as hell.

And I think it's much more than Epstein distraction, as horrible as that is.
Much of what he's doing and trying to do has been part of the Republican wish list for decades.

My mother and father, WW11 generation, always talked about how the R's hated the UN, hated everything Roosevelt did, wanted to wipe out the New Deal and on and on.

And still he goes further on in his ramblings, Mexico? Greenland? Canada???
He has to be stopped. The cruelty and madness is unending.

How many Mexicans are killed by US guns? By his logic there would be justification for Mexico to target US gun manufactures.

There’s a limit to hiding behind U.N. Article 51.

The Senate already rebuked him for acting in Venezuela without congressional approval.
