How did gutting the FAA and freezing hiring when there's a shortage make anything better?

Did him doing those things make the problem better or worse?

*January 20: Trump FIRES the FAA director *January 21: Trump FREEZES all Air Traffic Controller hiring *January 22: Trump DISBANDS the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee *January 28: Trump sends a buyout/retirement ransom letter to existing FAA employees *January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years, 67 fatalities.

You're right. I'm not much on speeches.

We're looking at moving back to Europe next year.

If you can do the job and aren't a liability, I don't care what you're packing or who/what you like. All of that shouldn't matter.

Do you not know how to read?

Already his minions are trying to defund the consumer financial protection department. You know, the department created to prevent fraud and predatory lending that contributed heavily to the financial meltdown in 2007/08.

Trump and Vance started it. That was literally the first thing out of their mouth.

It would be a meth lab in a dumpster fire bad if we went military adventuring in Mexico. Afghanistan is an ocean and half a continent away. Imagine if they shared a border with us how sideways things would go. Not to mention the economic impact that would cost us untold billions more than dealing with the cartels and their activities now cost us.

He can't. He doesn't even know what he's talking about. He just repeats whatever he reads on Twitter.

There's a reason I blocked him long ago. First and only person on this site.

It's because of DEI policies or else this never would have happened.

The thing is Trump just lies so often that by the time one lie is debunked or proven false, he's already lying about something else, so the damage from the first lie is already done, and you're just chasing him from lie to lie. Also I still don't see why anyone voted for this criminal.

You can't change the rules of engagement if you aren't fighting a war. We aren't at war with Mexico, where we would presumably conducting military action. Unless Mexico consented, then we would be invading a foreign country illegally. Mexico wouldn't cooperate at all. So you'd have the military in a situation without clear goals having to deal with everyone as a potential hostile because they don't want us in their country.

No you wouldn't.

Who exactly is a sex offender? If that was known why wasn't he arrested?

The cartels aren't stupid. They know doing things like that even in Mexico has bad results. The DEA went hard at them after one of the cartels brutally murdered an undercover agent, Enrique Camarana. If they tried anything stateside it'd be crazy suicidal. There's nothing for them to gain at all. It's probably one of the dumbest things they could do. And even though they're in a dirty business, they aren't stupid.

Didn't Jimmy Lawson play football?

Yes I did.

You don't think the cartels have money in reserve for things like this? You don't think there's extremely poor and desperate people who either are already involved or who want to be for the promise of later financial gain? Look at how many people protected Pablo Escobar. I'm sure the US military would make immediate gains and disrupt things, but the cartels would adapt and given their decentralized nature, you aren't going to stop them with brute force. It's a fairy tale spun by Trump. All it would do is drive up the price of drugs, and make addicts stateside more desperate.
