Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In what could be a significant escalation of U.S. pressure on Mexico, the Trump administration has begun to impose travel restrictions and other sanctions on prominent Mexican politicians whom it believes are linked to drug corruption, U.S. officials said.

Came here to post that.

They're not even hiding it anymore the only way you can believe this shit is if you legit just believe 100% of what they say.

Noem is purging the DOJ of anyone who says the MS13 wasn't a real tattoo. And she won't even say it's real, she just refuses to answer and that's what she wants from the whole DOJ.

Lie, and if caught in a provable way, literally pretend it's not happening.

Shit is very fucked.

In Mexico, politicians are in cahoots with drug trafficking and are corrupt. They often partner with various cartels in exchange for large sums of money. You might think this is unfounded, but it's not actually true.

But I understand their situation because the DOJ already labels anyone as a criminal, and when they're doing something right, it ends up being confused with something wrong.

You might think this is unfounded, but it’s not actually true.

No one is saying differently...

It's like anywhere else: some corrupt, some fighting corruption.

You seem to keep misunderstanding what people are saying and trying to extrapolate it into something big.

But you're starting off with flawed logic
