#15   dirty little secret of DC is everyone does meth

Go to the right doctor to get a prescription for Ritalin — nobody gets arrested for abusing that.

#12  Ref #11: I sort of doubt it. Chronic meth addiction might actually be an improvement over wat we have now.

#11  I had heard that the known, dirty little secret of DC is everyone does meth. The alcohol abuse is them trying to stay 'balanced'.

#10  A responsible government would secure the border to keep all that fentanyl, meth and cocaine from entering the country. But, with that much money at stake, I guess a secure border is unrealistic.

A Good Start.

But Realistically, this bust amounts to little more than a droplet of its daily operations. Given the "CDS" numbers are over 10,000 and it moves over $40M a day in the USA.

The Real Question and awaited Headline is:
When will we see a Black Ops to take out "Zambada"

Hopefully the FED's have all of the moles hidden safely. Because the CDS is well known for its "pay back" to include a slow chainsaw dismemberment process.


BTW: I see the Media overlooked mentioning the gang has been in operation since the late 1980's and it was TRUMP's DEA that started this major multi-state bust.

Without secured borders a strong DEA, and ICE this will only continue to happen.
